Beyond The Divorce - Season 3 Episode 84

I was taken aback as Atlas walked in with a stern expression. It seemed he was not surprised to find

Stella here.

Stella had been sitting by my bedside with her back to the door. When she heard someone approaching, she turned around. Seeing Atlas, she appeared genuinely surprised. “Atlas, you’re here?”

She quickly stood up and positioned herself by Atlas’s side. She held onto his arm. “I came to check on Chloe. Why didn’t you tell me it was this serious?”

Atlas’s gaze remained focused on her delicate face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

“This isn’t the best place for you to be. Dylan, take Ms. Stella back!”

Stella probably didn’t expect Atlas to be so straightforward in front of us. She quickly said, “Atlas, I just

got here! I wanted to be with you-

“Dylan!” Atlas’s words were clear and unwavering, leaving no room for doubt.

Stella’s face paled slightly, her hand still gripping

Atlas’s arm.

Dylan stepped forward. “Ms. Stella, I’ll take you back!”

Stella hesitated momentarily, then released her grip on Atlas’s arm and picked up her bag. “Chlo, I’ll head

back for now. I’ll drop by again when I’m free!”

Lauren had been holding back for a long time.

She seemed unable to hold it in any longer and spoke extremely disrespectfully. “Ms. Stella, Mr. Atlas

said this isn’t the best place for you!”

Stella’s face immediately darkened.

She turned abruptly toward Lauren. “I don’t need an outsider to tell me that! You can’t speak for Chloe!”

Then she addressed me, “Take care of yourself! Once you’re feeling better, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

With that, she glared at Lauren and then left the room.

As I watched her departure, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of cynicism. I had to admit that Stella had a

bold spirit. There was no way she was unaware of the perfume incident. How else could that bottle of

perfume have vanished? It seemed she had come to check on my condition personally.

I fell silent. Although Atlas was firm, his recent behavior showed that he didn’t want to do anything drastic to Stella. Since he already asked Stella what she said when she answered the phone, he could not

He also knew the perfume had been a gift from her. He knew about all of it, including her plot to make me commit a major faux pas on his birthday.

I guessed that Stella was probably just as relentless with Harmony and Liora. Who knew what kind of traps she had set for them? She was like a ticking time bomb, lurking by my side. I had to remain vigilant because she could explode at any moment.

I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling especially weary. I detested being in this kind of situation. After escaping Matthew’s nightmare, I found myself in an even more dangerous predicament.

My mother asked with a pained face. “Would you like something to eat? I will go buy it for you!”

“It’s okay. I still don’t have an appetite,” I replied faintly.

Honestly, every part of my body ached, especially my chest. I didn’t dare to move too much, as the paint felt like a tearing sensation.

Atlas took another small step forward. ‘You don’t need to worry about her. She won’t bother you again.

I’ve arranged for a meal for you!”

“Check with the doctor first.” I tried my best not to get emotional. “I want to go back and rest. It’s too

noisy here!”

Everyone in the hospital knew that Atlas had to approve before I could leave.

Let’s stay here

and observe for a few more days. If anything comes up, it can be dealt with right away. I’ll arrange for someone to stay with you. You won’t have to worry about seeing anyone you don’t want to.”

Atlas’s tone softened considerably.

I looked at him, unable to suppress the simmering anger in my heart. “I’m not that high–maintenance. It’s just that this person has repeatedly targeted me, and I don’t have such a big heart to accommodate her

constantly.”

Atlas hadn’t expected me to lose my temper suddenly. My outburst left my mother speechless, and she

looked at Atlas, bewildered.

I

Lauren realized I still had something to say and quickly told my mother, “Laura, let’s go downstairs to buy

some snacks for her!”

My mother clooked worriedas Lauren pulled her out of the room. The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew very awkward.
