Stella did not sleep for two hours before she woke up.

Clarence couldn't fall asleep either, and he opened his eyes just as soon as she moved.

Stella turned her head to look at him and said in a low voice, “Did I wake you up? You keep on sleeping. I just...”

Clarence grabbed her by the wrist when she talked halfway.

He dragged her into his arms and muttered in a husky voice, “Are you hungry?”

“No.”

“Then sleep a little longer.”

Stella did not talk again and just quietly reclined on his chest.

Clarence's heartbeat was pounding steadily and powerfully, and it made her feel reassured.

Stella could not help but think that she could still rely on Clarence when she did not know what to do, but what about Clarence? Who could he rely on?

From the time Noah fell ill to the time when the two of them were lured to Riverside City, knew all the truth, and returned to City N, Clarence spent almost half of the month dealing with everything of the Conrad Group. He held a board meeting, took Justin back, and gave up the position of president of the Conrad Group.

These things all happened within the last two or three months.

Except for the night that they knew about the truth, Stella never saw Clarence raise the curtain on his feelings after that. He bore it all alone and made the decision himself.

The matter had not even come to an end yet. Clarence had been involved in these feuds again because of her.

After a long time, Stella's faint voice sounded, “Clarence.”

The man replied quietly, “Hmm?”

“Thank you.”

Clarence paused, “For what?”

Stella said, “If it isn't for me, you wouldn't have to bother with these things at all.”

Clarence tightened his arms around her waist, “Are you still drowsy and not able to think clearly?”

Stella was speechless.

She reached out and pushed him away, “I'm serious. You're supposed to be taking a break after the matter with the Conrad Group is over, but...”

Clarence said, “You are right to say so, but I think you can replace the word 'thank you' with 'honey' next time, and I'll be happier with that.”

Dang it.

This man just couldn't quit jesting for over a minute.

Stella got out of his arms, “Alright, get up if you can't fall asleep.”

After saying that, she turned over and got out of bed.

Clarence looked at her, slowly sat up, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.

When they arrived at the hospital, they saw that it was heavy guarded.

The elevator had just stopped at the top floor when William's assistant hurried out of the ward and said to them, “Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil, Mr.copy right hot novel pub
