Chapter 204 - Chicken Corn Soup (1/2)

Wilson cleared his throat lightly to get their attention. ”Don't mind this silly doctor here. But can you please stop crying Stella, you had a panic attack earlier. I don't want that to happen again. Moreover, think of Adam, he wouldn't like to you see like this.”

Stella nodded her head understanding his point. She wiped her tears with the back of her palms as she let go of Blake.

”Thank you.” She showed her gratitude to him before turning her attention to Wilson.

”What happened to me? And how did you guys get here? All I remember is talking to him on call and then….” She trailed off, not wanting to recall the entire scenario.

As if understanding her pain, the two of them didn't question her any further.

”Like I told you earlier, you had a panic attack.” Wilson began to answer her question. ”Your body couldn't take the shock and because of hypoglycemia, you fainted. It was a maid who found you in the condition. Uncle Rob has sent her upstairs to check on you as you were taking too long to get up than usual. He is the one who called us.” He sat down on the chair as he explained it to her.

”Where's Lillian?” Stella questioned Blake as she shifted her attention to him. There were so many things that she wanted to ask him but she lacked the courage to do so at the moment. She didn't want her heart to go through more pain. Even though she herself knew that it was inevitable, but she wanted to delay it as much as possible.

”She's downstairs in the kitchen, most probably yelling at the maids.” Blake replied to her with a chuckle as he tried to lighten up the atmosphere.

”Oh!” She exclaimed before clearing her throat as she gathered up the courage to finally ask him the question she was dreading so much. ”D-do you have any news about… him?” Her voice was barely audible when she whispered the last word.

Heaving out a tired sigh, he just shook his head in a big no. ”He had some of his best men there with him. They are currently searching for him.”

”What actually happened at the site?” She questioned him again, trying to act tough. She knew that she couldn't be weak at this moment.

”A number of blasts.” Blake replied to her truthfully. He didn't want to tell her all of this, but at the same time he knew that he had to do it. She had every single right to know all of it. ”There were around ten or more blasts all across the project site. There's nothing left but debris. The team is currently looking through the rubble for any sign of Adam.”

Stella hummed in response as she diverted her teary eyes away from him.

”Stella?” Wilson softly called out her name to get her attention. ”I know him since the day he was born. Trust me that he will be fine.” He patted her shoulder lightly as he got a nod from her.

”Are you guys done making her cry? If yes then move away. She needs to get some food inside her body.” A soft yet strong voice interrupted them, making them to shift their attention towards the entrance of the room.

There stood Lillian at the threshold of the door with an annoyed expression on her face. She walked inside the room with steady steps as she had her eyes fixed on Stella. She was followed by two maids as one of them was holding a tray on which a steaming bowl was placed and the other was holding onto a wooden folding table.

”I want you two out of here, now.” She glared at the two men who looked back at her with confusion. Rolling her eyes, she continued. ”She needs to eat and then change into more comfortable clothes.” She stated the obvious.
