When she scolds him, when she complains about him, is his heart also bleeding?
Stella York was just about to stand up when a sharp pain came from her stomach. She pressed her hand against it, her face devoid of any color.
"Bang—" The door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
Lucas Scott hurried in at the sound, appearing at the doorway. He glimpsed Evelyn Sherman and was slightly stunned.
The next second, his gaze shifted to Stella York. Seeing her curled up in discomfort, without thinking, he rushed forward to hold her.
He lifted her from the ground and laid her flat on the bed.
"Stella York, take a deep breath, relax..." Lucas Scott spoke, initially thinking she would angrily push him away. But instead, Stella York suddenly reached out and hugged him.
Her whole body leaned into his embrace, her hands holding him tightly, refusing to let go.
Lucas Scott's body stiffened, as if struck by lightning, he didn't respond for a long while.
