Relieved, Lucia advised, “No matter how busy you are, you must take care of yourself.

It must be Matthew not looking after you properly.

When he returns, I’ll give him a piece of my mind.

Lucia, perceptive as always, noticed the strain in Stella and Matthew’s relationship.

As an elder, she felt a heightened concern.

She continued, “How about you two take a short vacation together to unwind?”

Stella reflected on her current relationship with Matthew.

A trip together could potentially be awkward or lead to disagreements, particularly with Lindsay involved.

Given these considerations, Stella hesitated and suggested, “Let’s see what Matthew thinks.

Just then, Matthew walked in.

He entered the living room and was taken aback to find Stella there.

Lucia smiled and remarked, “It’s never good to speak about someone behind their back.

As soon as we mentioned you, here you are.

Matthew approached Lucia with a smile and asked, “What were you discussing about me, Grandma?”

Lucia responded with a knowing smile, “Stella was right.

It’s best to get your opinion.

”

Stella remained silent but observed that Matthew had changed his shirt.

Her heart raced with curiosity and concern.

Why had he changed? Had he showered?

If so, where? At the hospital or Lindsay’s place?

Her mind swirled with unsettling possibilities.

Matthew, oblivious to Stella’s discomfort, looked at Lucia and asked, “What do you need my opinion on?”

Lucia replied, “With your birthday approaching, I was considering a vacation for you and Stella.

However, Stella suggested we should consult you first.
