Stella Grace sat on the sofa, waiting to hear from Jasper Milton the entire night.
She did not dare to sleep for fear she would miss his call.
In fact, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
She could not feel at ease until she knew he was safe.
Three days passed.
She was exhausted. She ate nothing, lying in the sofa while looking at her phone.
Mina Hadley could not bear seeing her like this. She said, "Stella, eat something or sleep for a while. If the Chief calls you, I will immediately tell you. The Chief would be sad if you fall sick."
Stella stared at the phone and said nothing. Her gaze was empty and lifeless.
Mina squatted in front of her. "Actually, no news is still good news, right? Let's eat something."
"He must have gotten into an accident. If he's alright, he would have called me by now," Stella said with certainty.
It was unusual for him to remain silent for three days.
