Watching them leaving, Maxwell then came over, “Ms. Radomil, are you okay?”
Stella shook her head, “I’m fine.”
She turned around and looked at Elaine, “How do you feel?”
Elaine showed Stella her red wrist and pouted, “It hurts.”
Stella comforted her, “I will apply some medicine on it when we come back and you’ll feel better tomorrow.”
Elaine immediately regained her smile, “Thank you, Stella.”
Sherry walked over in strides, “Stella, what’s going on? If it wasn’t that I saw Maxwell and the other men, I would have called the police as I was so scared.”
Stella replied, “Not a big deal. They were sent by her family and they wanted to take her home”
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank god it’s not kidnapping, but they’re so scaring.”
Maxwell explained, “They have been wandering around City N recently. I guess they’ve been anxious.”
Elaina lowered her head without saying anything.
Stella said, “Let’s go back.”
Maxwell said, “I will follow you behind. Ms. Radomil, please call me if you have any problems.”
“Okay.”
After coming back home, Sherry took a bite of the apple while looking at the two men opposite her.
Stella poured some medicinal liquor on her palm, rubbed it against her palm until it turned warm, and then began to rub Elaine’s wrist.
Although they didn’t dare to use too much strength as they were afraid that they would hurt Elaine, since Elaine’s skin was tender and she struggled violently, there were many red marks on her wrist.
Stella rubbed her wrist and said after a long while, “Elaine, have you called your dad?”
Elaine shook her head and then said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that he would criticize me.”
“Your dad will criticize you because he’s worried about you.”
“But I really don’t want to come back. If I come back to Riverside, I will lose my freedom and I will have to stay there for the rest of my life.”
Stella said, “I know what’s in your mind. Even if you want to stay here, you have to make it clear with your dad. Otherwise, this situation will happen again and you will get hurt in the end.”
Elaine realized she was wrong and didn’t speak.
After a long while, Elaine broke the silence, “I see. I will call him later.”
Stella chuckled, “Be calm when talking to him. Don’t quarrel with him.”
Elaine nodded her head obediently.
Stella said, “Then I will prepare the meal. If you’re hungry, eat some fruits. Don’t eat the snacks.”
“Okay.”
Stella stood up, put the medicinal liquor into the medical box and then walked into the kitchen to wash her hands.
Sherry hurriedly followed behind her and said with disbelief, “She’s so willing to listen to your advice.”
Stella replied, “It’s not that she’s willing to accept my advice, it’s that she...”
Stella then looked out of the kitchen and then said in a low voice, “She’s homesick.”
Although Elaine insisted that she wouldn’t come back to Riverside, after all, she was just a little girl who had never left her family, so it was normal for her to get unaccustomed to this strange place when the feeling of freshness gradually faded away.
At this moment, her homesickness would surge.
Although Elaine didn’t show it, Stella could still perceive it after getting alone with her for several days.
It was because of this that Elaine was absent-minded on the way back after the two men left, who came to take her back according to her father’s instruction.
Sherry said, “That makes sense. Although she claims that she hates Riverside, she had lived in that pace for twenty years.”
Stella nodded her head, “Okay.”
Sherry heaved a long sigh, “By the way, I also want to go back home to have a look. But my mom will kill me when she finds out I’m pregnant.”
After washing the dishes, Stella took her clothes into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, when she walked out of the bathroom, she heard someone entering the password of the door.
Stella thought it was because Sherry or Elaine forgot to take away their things, so she walked over and opened the door.
When the door was opened, her gaze met with Clarence’s in the air.
Stella was stunned, “Why do you come back so early today?”
Clarence withdrew his hand from the doorknob and walked into the house, “I heard from Maxwell that some members of the James family came to find you.”
Stella closed the door and replied, “But luckily, they didn’t take away Elaine and she was just lightly hurt. I applied some medicine on her wound and it will be cured tomorrow.”
Clarence turned around to look at her, “What about you?”
“Me? I’m fine.”
Clarence took the towel from Stella and helped her dry her hair. He then said slowly, “Don’t come over rashly if you encounter such a matter next time. This time it was the James family that wanted to take Elaine back, but what if they were kidnappers?”
Stella was suddenly lost for words
Clarence continued to dry her hair, “So run as farthest away as possible next time.”
Stella’s hair became messy because of Clarence’s action. She pulled down the tower, “I see. I will. I will immediately run away if I encounter this next time and no one will be able to catch me.”
Clarence burst into laughter when he heard the words. His chest heaved up and down slightly and it seemed like he was in a good mood.
It was the first time for Stella to hear his laughter during this period.
Stella looked up at him “Have you solved the affairs in your company?”
“It will be done soon.” Clarence only take down the towel when seeing that Stella’s hair was no longer wet, “It will be solved in half a month at most. Didn’t you say you want to go out for fun before? I will accompany you half a month later?”
Stella, “Are you going to leave your company behind?”
Clarence replied blandly, “Yes.”
