StarNovelLindsay kept quiet.
Her forehead creased as she thought about how to politely refuse the suggestion.
A trace of discomfort appeared on her face.
Stella went on, Or do you have a specific reason you wantto personally design something for you, Lindsay? Lindsay experienced a brief wave of panic and worry, but she quickly regained her composure and explained, Actually, theres no need to hurry.
The doctor hasnt even arrived yet.
Its just that the gorgeous dresses you showed today madereally excited to wear one of your creations. Stella gave a slight, knowing smile.
Her gaze was piercing as though she had read Lindsays mind.

With Matthew and Lindsay gone, the others slowly dispersed, and the buzz of conversation around them faded. Bennett, visibly upset, was on the verge of confronting Matthew.
However, Stella intervened just before Bennett could confront Matthew, quickly explaining how Matthews behavior had changed after he lost his memory and the complexities of their relationship recently.
Bennett paused, still visibly upset, and countered, Thats no justification for his behavior.
How can he just ignore you like that? Stella sighed softly, chose not to respond, and turned her attention to wrapping up the Launch event.
Meanwhile, Matthew helped Lindsay into the car and directed Fernando, Take her to the hospital to get her wounds treated.
Looking at Matthew, Lindsay asked, Where will you be going? Matthew answered briefly, Ive got sthings to sort out.
With that, he turned to leave.
As he walked away, Lindsay called out to his retreating figure, I saved Stella because I didnt want you to be upset.
Her voice echoed in the empty parking lot, with a touch of hypocrisy.
Matthew stopped in his tracks.
Even Fernando felt the tension and sat silently, unsure of how to react.
Lindsay went on, I know you and Stella arent going to split, and Ive accepted that.
But since I dont have anyone else here in Seamarsh, all I ask is for you to be there forwhile I recover.
Once Im better, III step aside for Stella.
Matthew looked at her calmly and replied with a cold tone, Youre mistaken.

The path my relationship with Stella takes isnt your concern. Youre in this incerm situation because you saved me, and Ill ensure youre looked after. However, going forward, for whatever reason, avoid putting yourself in danger like that again.
You dont need to save anyone for the sake of anyone else.
Lindsay felt a sharp pang in her heart, as though it were being squeezed but she managed to keep her expression steady and replied, I understand. Emotions flickered in Lindsays eyes like a candle caught in the wind.
She struggled to decipher the depths of Matthews feelings for Stella, compelling her to probe further.
With a hint of hope, she inquired softly, If Dr.
Watts fails to curethis time, would you stand by my side forever? Even if we remain nothing more than close friends, Id find great solace in that. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
