Stella didn’t notice the slight change in his expression.
She turned around, glanced at Bella, and then looked back at him.
“Has Alissa known about her connection with Bella?”
Matthew shook his head slightly and explained, “I was planning to wait until Bella returned to tell her the truth
about her real identity.
Then let her decide whether to rekindle her friendship with Alissa.
But now, things have changed and Bella is still unconscious.
When she wakes up, she’ll decide for herself.
Stella nodded and said, “It’s really up to them.

She simply wanted her family to be safe.
Matthew squeezed her hand and advised, “Let's not dwell on that.

The bodyguard nodded slightly.

I'm going to get sbreakfast.
The bodyguard quickly said, “I can get it for you.
