Seeing this, Stella quickly pressed her back against the bed.
She tried to reassure Lucia, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the bitterness left her unable to say anything.
How could she convince Lucia if she couldn't even convince herself?
Just then, Waldo intervened.
He advised Lucia, “Don’t let the Wheeler family’s nonsense upset you.
Consider the tdifference; it's the early morning in Sothrea.
If you really want to call him, wait until tomorrow.
Stella quickly regained her composure and said, “Waldo’s right.
Plus, you've just woken up.

Rest today, and we'll call Matthew tomorrow, okay?”
Despite the united front from Stella and Waldo, Lucia felt unsettled and grew more alert.
Though aged, she was far from foolish.
She cried softly.
“Lucia...” Stella’s voice broke as she nearly let her own tears flow.
Waldo shook his head at Stella, signaling her to stop trying.
He had been married to Lucia for decades, so he could tell.
Lucia had known too.
The only problem was that she didn’t want to accept this.
After a while, Lucia stopped crying.
She looked at Waldo and Stella angrily and asked, “Was it Benny?”
Before Stella could respond, Lucia said, “It had to be him! This bastard is full of tricks!”
Stella quickly tried to clarify through her tears.
“No, we've checked... It was just a random terrorist attack.
Upon hearing this, Lucia broke down in tears once again.
Stella spent a long tcomforting Lucia until she fell asleep again.
The hospital room fell silent.
Waldo said softly, “You've just cback.
You must be exhausted.
Go hand rest.

I'll stay with her in the hospital.
Stella shook her head and insisted, “No, I'll stay.
She alone knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep if she went home.
Being alone at hwould just make her sadder.
It seemed better to stay with Lucia for both their sakes.
Waldo persisted.
He said in a deep voice, “Look at the dark circles under your eyes.
When was the last tyou really rested? If you fall ill, Lucia will holdresponsible when she finds out.
Plus, I'm too old to look after both of you.
Although Stella hesitated to return, she went back to put him at ease.
The next day, Stella brought breakfast and returned to the hospital to see Lucia.
