Before she could, Matthew spoke again.
Fernando investigated the warehouse fire last night.
Unfortunately, there are no surveillance cameras in the area, so we still dont know if it was set by someone. Stella blinked in surprise.
She had assumed his mention of the investigation the previous day was a passing comment.
Hearing an update so soon caught her off guard.
Though her heart warmed at his attentiveness, she kept her expression calm and neutral.
Got it.
Letknow if theres anything new, she said evenly.
She couldnt shake the suspicion that Lindsay might be involved-not just with the fire, but also with the chandelier incident at the launch event.

Later, after they had both gotten ready, they shared breakfast in quiet companionship before heading to the hospital.
Upon their arrival, Cordells surprise was evident.
He raised an eyebrow at the sight of them walking in together.
As they approached the examination room, he leaned closer to Matthew and murmured, Your relationship with Stella seems to have improved.
Have you remembered anything? Matthew shook his head.
No.
Cordell looked disappointed.
But Matthew surprised him by adding, I find myself wanting to be near Stella.
Sometimes, when I cant see her, I feel... anxious.
A knowing smile spread across Cordells lips.
Matthew, dont doubt us.
Before, you were deeply in love with Stella-so much so that you wouldnt let anyone harm even a single strand of her hair.
Matthew remained silent, his face betraying his uncertainty.
He didnt look entirely convinced by Cordells words.
Sensing his hesitation, Cordell leaned in, his tone becoming more earnest.
If just one person said it, you could dismiss it as a lie.
But when everyone says the sthing, whats there to question? If you cant remember the past between you, why not try again? Pursue Stella like its the first time-rekindle that feeling of first love.
You might find its worth it.
Cordell stopped, noticing Matthews intense gaze fixed on him.

Without another word, he turned and led Matthew into the examination room. In the corridor, Stella stood quietly by herself.
However, beneath her serene exterior, unease gnawed at her.
She hadnt shared the timing of Matthews check-up with anyone else, unwilling to cause unnecessary worry for the elders.
At that moment, her attention was drawn to the other end of the roof them corridor, where she saw Lucia walking in her direction alongside Lindsay.
Stella was still trying to figure out why Lucia had shown upunannounced when Lindsay broke the silence, her tone sharp with reproach.
Stella, Matthew has an important check-up today, and you didnt tell him here without anyone? whats that supposed to informing us- mean? Lucia glanced at Stella with a worried expression, her concern evident. Taking a deep breath, Stella shot a cold look at Lindsay and then turned to Lucia, her expression softening.
Lucia, this is just a routine check-up.
Waldo hasnt even been discharged yet.
Matthew and I discussed everything and decided to wait for the results before informing everyone. Theres no need to cause unnecessary panic.
