Chapter 212 Unexpected Visitor

Even though my body hurt, I quickly got out of bed. After pulling back the curtains and looking down, I spotted Stella at the door.

How did she know where I lived? I didn't recall telling her that I stayed at Amethyst Apartments.

She rang the doorbell twice more before I opened the door. Stella had a bright smile on her face as she stepped inside, holding a basket of fruits. She had an innocent expression as if she wouldn't hurt a fly. "Ms. Stella!" I smiled and asked, "How'd you find this place?"

"Well, you sure went through a lot!" She walked in and looked around as if she owned the place. "Your house is nice, very classic!"

"Please, have a seat! Can I get you something to drink? I have coffee and tea!"

"Anything is fine. Don't trouble yourself!" She cheerily followed me. "How did this happen? It's truly terrifying. Did you offend anyone? How'd you end up kidnapped?"

She seemed well-informed about my situation, which perplexed me.

"Wow, the news traveled fast!" I chuckled, though I harbored doubts.

"Atlas got a call while we were having dinner yesterday. I overheard them saying that you were missing." she explained matter-of-factly. "I was worried, so I called Atlas later to ask. I was so relieved to hear they

found you!"

A tinge of bitterness welled up within me. So they were having dinner together.

Stella studied my face intently. "Chloe, how'd you hurt your face?"

She gasped as if she hadn't noticed when she entered. Her delicate face displayed an exaggerated look

of shock.

I gestured for her to take a seat.

"Have you seen a doctor? You must take care of your face, or it'll leave a scar! She leaned in to take a

closer look, looking worried. "How could this happen to someone so pretty?"

"It's nothing, just surface wounds!"

I didn't expect it to be this severe!" She sighed, taking a seat.

We talked about various topics, but neither of us mentioned Celine. I chose not to bring it up and

She finally excused herself when she saw I was tired.

At the door, Stella said, "Your injury disrupted my plans. I was going to go shopping with you. I need to pick out a gift tomorrow for Atlas's birthday. I don't have time to return to Nocturnia, so I'll just shop around here."

"Really?" I casually said, "I don't think I can join you in this state. I can't exactly go out like this!"

She held my hand and said, "Alright, take care and get well soon! Be careful if you go out next time." "Thank you, Ms. Stella!"

"Why are you being so courteous? Well, I'm off!"

She left, and I lazily returned upstairs. I climbed into bed and accessed the recently installed surveillance feed.

Initially, I intended to test the cameras' performance, but Stella's expression caught my attention.
