When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1900

Clint had just been brought out of the resuscitation room, with the butler attending to him.

Seeing Clint unconscious in the bed, Stella turned to the butler with concern and asked, “What happened? Why did Grandpa suddenly collapse?”

Her eyes reflected deep worry.

The butler shook his head, looking troubled.

“Ever since the wedding incident, his mental state has declined, and his appetite has worsened.

Considering his existing illness, it was just too much for him to handle.

”

Stella frowned and questioned, “Why didn’t you inform me that he wasn’t feeling well?”

The butler sighed.

“He always mentioned how busy you are with work.

He didn’t want to trouble you with his issues and feared you’d worry, so he kept pushing through.

I wouldn’t have called if I had any other options.

”

Upon hearing this, Stella tightly held Clint’s hand, feeling a wave of sadness.

How could she have forgotten that Grandpa always worried about her and rarely shared his troubles, preferring to handle them on his own?

Only now did Stella notice how much weight her grandfather had lost and how much older he looked since they last met at the wedding.

Lowering her eyes in guilt, Stella said, “It’s all my fault.

I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t notice any changes in Grandpa.

”

If she had paid more attention, she would have noticed his condition even without him telling her.

The butler consoled, “He hid it from you because he didn’t want you to blame yourself.

You’ve had so much going on lately.

He’s stable now, so there’s no need to worry.

”

Stella nodded, her voice choked with sobs.

Since her marriage, Stella had had less time for Clint.

Even when he fainted, she couldn’t be there right away.

Reflecting on this made Stella feel even worse.

That night, Stella remained by Clint’s side constantly.

During this period, she received a message from Matthew.

Matthew’s message read, “The bidding was successful, but I have a party this evening and can’t get away.

I’ll come to Bysea as soon as I finish my work.

”

Glancing at her watch, Stella realized it might be very late by the time he finished.

She texted back, “Get some rest.

Don’t come over.

Grandpa’s condition is stable, and with Fernando here, everything is under control.

”

However, he didn’t respond.

Stella assumed he might not have time to check his phone during the party.

After a while, she set it aside.

Clint remained unconscious until midnight.

Stella remained alert; her thoughts focused on him.

She checked his IV drip attentively.

After the nurse changed the medication, Stella was about to nap when her phone rang.

It was Miley calling.
