NovelEnglishMatthew comforted her.
Sure enough, his words managed to reassure Stella a little and she felt relieved.
But even so, she didn’t want to delay.
So, Matthew and Stella packed their luggage as quickly as they could and set off for Bysea.
When they arrived, Clint was the one who opened the door for them.
At the sight of her grandfather, Stella held the old man’s hands and examined him from head to toe.
It wasn’t until she was sure that he was fine that she breathed a sigh of relief.
While Stella was examining him, Clint noticed the gauze on her hand.
“What's wrong with your hand? How did you get hurt?” he asked worriedLy.

| could have just put a Band-Aid on it, but Matthew insisted on applying gauze on the wound.
She secretly winked at Matthew.
Matthew immediately caught on to what she was hinting and said, “Grandpa, | was the one who bandaged her
wound.
Don’t worry.
It's really not a big deal”
Clint didn’t doubt Matthew's words a bit, so the old man’s expression finally softened a little.
Stella quickly changed the topic.
“Grandpa, what's so urgent that you askedto cback in a hurry?”
It was only then that Clint remembered the important thing he had to tell her.
His expression becgrave.
“The orphanage calledthis morning and toldthat someone has been looking for you.
His words made Stella’s heart beat faster.
There was a look of expectation in her eyes as she had her guess on who that person could be.
She asked in a trembling voice, “Grandpa, who is this person looking for me?”
“I don’t know.
ALL | know is that it's a woman.
I've asked Oliver to drive her here.
They'll be here soon,” Clint answered.
Stella was very nervous and she kept fidgeting with her fingers.
When she was lost in thought, a strong hand suddenly held hers.
The simply touch brought her back to reality and she turned her head to look at Matthew.
The calm expression on his face reassured her and helped her calm down.

Clint glanced at his watch.
“It’s already noon.
| guess you haven't had lunch yet, right? Cinside; let's have Lunch first.
They would probably arrive shortly after lunch time.
Stella agreed perfunctorily.
The truth was that she had no appetite and only agreed to please her grandfather.
She waited impatiently to see who this woman was.
But at the stime, she feared that she would be disappointed.
Matthew had been quiet the whole time.
He had the sguess as Stella, but he also had a strange feeling.
After lunch, the three people went back to the living room.
They had been there for just a few minutes when they heard snoise at the front door.
