Chapter 26 Get lost, as*hole
Stella felt that Jasper was taking advantage of her weakness, she was just trying to be courteous.
” Wasn’t my life endangered, because I was helping your team? ” she said softly.
” Huh. ” Jasper chuckled, he softened his voice, “I won’t force you, rest well. ”
Stella felt strange. He was warm and bubbly on the phone, but in person, he became cool and distant.
” You too. Goodbye. ” Stella hung up the phone.
Lieutenant Johnson peeked at Stella without saying a word.
After sending Stella to the hospital, Lieutenant Johnson received a phone call from Jasper on his way back.
” Is Stella home? ” Jasper asked.
” No, she requested to go to the hospital. ” Lieutenant Johnson reported honestly.
” Okay, noted.” Jasper ended the call.
It was better that she stays at the hospital than at home anyway.
The morning at 8 am, Eli dashed into Stella’s office anxiously.
” Stella, that woman is suing you, the management is going to punish you, I heard that they are going to fire you. ” Eli said worriedly.
” Do you mean the pregnant lady from the other day? ” Stella asked.
” Yes, why did you leave a scar on her? ” Eli replied.
” The umbilical cord was tangled around the child, if I didn’t do so, the child would have suffocated, I’ve done nothing wrong, why does the hospital want to punish me? ” Stella explained rationally.
” I heard that it was an order from the top management, I’ll go get more information, on who is behind this. Could it be Federick? But then again, there is no reason for him to do so. ” Eli was worried.
A thought came into Stella’s mind, she said, ” It must be him.” She then gave Federick a call.
“You think of me now? Isn’t it already too late? ” Federick spoke wickedly.
” What do you want from me? ” Stella demanded.
” I’ve told you to not mess with me. Come home within an hour, else you know what will happen to you. ” Federick hung up the phone without giving her a chance to reply.
” What did he say? ” Eli asked, she was concerned.
” Federick wants me home, I need to go on leave. ” Stella said reluctantly.
” Why do you still bother with him at this moment, just let him be. ” Eli went berserk.
” Federick is from the Health Bureau, the hospital is probably facing pressure from him. I need to settle this once and for all. I will come back to you when things are done.” Stella quickly packed her bag and headed home.
As soon as Stella arrived home, she saw Federick lazing on the couch.
Federick smiled maliciously, he looked at Stella and looked at his watch, ” 48 minutes, pretty on time, how obedient.”
Federick picked up a bag that closes to him, and threw it on the table, ” This is to reward you, see if you like it?”
“Federick, what do you want? You have been set free, why do you still bother me? If you want to continue this, I will never divorce you and then you will be in real trouble.” Stella explained.
” I’ll divorce you when I’m done with you, but I’ll be the one who files for divorce, you have no right to do so.” Federick exclaimed. He then took out a jewelry box and passed it to her, said, ” Put it on.”
Stella did not move, she looked at Federick and the jewelry, feeling annoyed by his behavior.
Federick was a hunter, he loved seeing his prey struggle to survive, and he enjoyed tormenting his prey. A hunter is heartless, they will never be satisfied with just one single prey.
Stella opened up the jewelry box, there lay a pair of diamond earrings. She then closed the jewelry box and threw it back on the table.
” You don’t like it?” Federick looked at her and asked.
” You know that I don’t wear jewelry, especially as a doctor, I am not allowed to wear these. But I appreciate it, thanks.” Stella replied coldly.
Federick picked up the earrings and put them on her ears forcefully.
She had not worn earrings since becoming a doctor, and she could feel pain as the earrings pierced her skin. She was bleeding.
She stared at him with annoyance, and even if she still had a shred of love for him, it had now been reduced to nothing.
He curved his lips, not smiling, and continued with the other earring, ignoring her bleeding ear.
She clenched her fists, controlling her anger.
“Even when you wear such beautiful jewelry, you still don’t look nice with them on,” Federick commented, he sounded disappointed.
“I’ll disappear now, if you quickly sign the divorce papers.” She said calmly.
He grew furious, he pointed to the bag on the sofa and demanded, “There are a dress and a pair of shoes in there, go and get changed. Don’t embarrass me. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. See you in 10 minutes.
Federick got up and walked out of the apartment. She was livid, and she took a piece of tissue to wipe the blood off her ears. She opened the paper bag and saw there a skimpy pink dress, and a pair of red heels.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Stella took off the earrings and threw the earrings into the paper bags, she carried the paper bag out without getting changed.
Federick parked his car at the gate of the apartment, typing on his phone with his usual malicious smile.
Stella was so familiar with that smile of his, that she knew he had just successfully hunted down another prey.
Stella opened the door, and threw the bag in, she said, “Federick, since you think that I embarrass you, you don’t have to bring me out.” Stella slammed the door.
Federick said, ” Are you testing my patience?”
” Let’s not see each other again, if you don’t have patience.” Stella said frankly.
Federick was full of malice, he got down the car and shoved her into the car.
He sat next to her, looked forward, and ordered the driver, ” Go to the airport.”
” I don’t want to go to the airport, what do you want to do there?” Stella demanded.
Federick whipped her chin up to face him.
” You’d better behave yourself, before you regret.” Federick warned Stella.
Stella looked into Federick’s eyes, knowing his evil ways, she had no choice but to obey.
Federick let go of her when he saw that she no longer struggled.
Stella looked out the window, she did not understand, why does Federick not set her free since he did not love her?
Federick was a cunning man, what is he actually up to?
Federick’s phone rang.
” Mr. Federick, Wilson Chuck did not come to the airport, but his wife, Mrs. Chuck came instead.” Federick’s subordinate reported.
” Alright, is everything ready?” Federick asked with his mouth curving upwards.
Federick was brimming with confidence
