Mr. Ford Is Jealous
Chapter 573

Chapter 573

"Do I need to be with her during the treatment process?" Weston asked.

Dr. Hayden nodded, but his brows furrowed into a frown when he looked at Guinevere. "Given her current situation, she needs someone she can trust by her side, or it'll be hard for me to keep her under control. If she were to hurt herself, it wouldn't be good..."

Weston sat down by the bed.

Guinevere immediately grabbed his hands. "Don't go. Stay with me, all right?"

Hayden's eyes glinted as his gaze deepened. "Ms. Cohen appears to be very dependent on you."

Weston remained silent. "Please begin," he said after a while.

He looked up at Hayden. "Do whatever it takes to get her back to normal."

On the other side of the hospital.

Stella finally felt rest assured upon confirming that Roger was fine.

Her face turned solemn when she saw Roger hemming and

hawing. "What is it that you find so difficult to confess even to me?"

"I don't mean that..."

Both of them settled down on the chairs along the corridor.

Riley had gone to the washroom, so they decided to wait for her there.

Anger simmered in Stella's heart at Roger's silence. "After you did something so dangerous last night, you're still unwilling to tell me why? Do you still treat me as your sister?"

"Of course I do! You're my only family, I just..."

Roger stammered for a long while before saying, "Stella, I don't really want to pursue my studies overseas."

"What did you say?!" Stella raised her voice. "Everything has been prepared, and you're telling me you don't want to study overseas?"

Disappointment filled her eyes, causing Roger's head to hang down low. "I'm sorry, it was just a random remark..."

Stella sensed that she had overreacted, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Can you tell me the reason for that sudden thought? Haven't we agreed on this previously? Are you in some sort of trouble?"

"None of the above."

Roger shook his head, struggling over whether he should come clean.

Upon seeing the look on Stella's face, he gathered his courage and said, "Stella, I realized that one of the institutions sponsoring me overseas is related to Weston Ford ... although he might be clueless about which student he actually sponsors, I can't stand the thought of him sponsoring even part of the trip."

The air around them turned silent the moment he explained himself.

Stella remained quiet for a long time.

Roger snuck a peek at her face, trying to guess what she was feeling.

However, Stella didn't have much of a reaction. "Oh, I see," was all she said after a moment of spacing out.

Her reaction was so calm it made Roger feel lost. "Stella, we had agreed previously that we'll never have any connection with that man. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, I can choose not to study overseas. It's not like I was desperate for this chance in the first place..."

"Don't say such things," Stella cut him off. "I know that you really like Compassvale University. To be honest, what you are concerned about doesn't really affect me."

"Stella, haven't we agreed to never let that person affect our

lives anymore?"

"You're not the only student he's sponsoring. It's very normal that a big company does some corporate social responsibility. They are obliged to do so, to enhance their corporate image and reputation.. and you earned this scholarship based on your merit, not some underhanded means. It is a chance you deserve. As long as you hold your head up high and be honest, the sponsor doesn't matter."

"I know..." Roger said, "But I just don't feel good about it."

Stella was about to say more when Riley came out of the washroom

"Sorry for making you guys wait!"

"What took you so long?" Roger furrowed his brows.

Riley stuck out her tongue playfully. "I'm sorry. I saw a famous celebrity over there and went to check things out..."

"Did you know? Guinevere Cohen is here at the hospital too!"
