Con, lets eat.
Later that day, Lindsay, seated in her wheelchair, spotted Matthew waiting at the door of the apartment as she exited the elevator.
His stern expression immediately put her on edge.
She greeted him cautiously, but Matthew cut her off abruptly.
Where have you been? Were returning to Seamarsh in a couple of days, so dont wander around.
Startled by his tone, Lindsay quickly asked, Is everything with Stella settled? I feel very unsettled because I havent accomplished anything on this trip.

Tomorrow, III have Fernando take you for a check- up. With that, Matthew turned and left.

I have something to deal with today and cant accompany you.
The hotel has prepared breakfast for you; dont forget to eat.

However, as she reached the gate of the hospital, she stopped abruptly, her heart skipping a beat. Standing there were Matthew and Lindsay.
Matthew saw Stella, and his face reflected a deep sense of surprise.
Breaking the silence, he spoke first, saying, Ive arranged for Lindsay to be examined by a specialist.
Stellas gaze swept over Lindsay, and she caught a faint, almostimperceptible glimmer of glee on Lindsays face. The expression left Stella perplexed, unable to fathom the reason behind it.
