Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again Chapter 471: What Did She Do to Offend Him?

Stella pouted and remained silent.

Clarence adjusted the angle of the bed and gave Stella a pillow as a support for her back. He said
stiffly, “What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

“Anything will do.”

Clarence said, “Stay put. Don’t move around. Ring the bell if you’re not feeling well.”

Stella raised her head and stared at Clarence, “Sure.”

Why was Clarence angry?

Soon, Clarence walked out of the ward.

Stella sighed and tried to look for her phone on the side table, but she couldn’t find it.

Stella was still feeling weak, so she sat on the bed and waited for Clarence to come back.

After a while, Clarence returned.

Stella looked at the amount and portion of food Clarence brought back. She said, “I can’t finish all
these.”

Clarence replied in a cold tone, “You didn’t see me as a person, but I need to eat as well.”

Stella was speechless.

Was Clarence crazy?

What did she do to offend him?



Stella wanted to get out of bed, but Clarence stopped her, “Stay put.”

Clarence was too domineering. Stella immediately got back on the bed.

Clarence placed a bowl of porridge and a few plain vegetables in front of Stella. Then, he sat back
beside the side table.

Stella was confused.

She looked at the food in front of her, then looked at the food in front of Clarence, “This is what I’m
eating?”

Clarence looked calm, “You said ‘anything will do’.”

“I did. I would eat these as well, but didn’t you get some other food as well?”

Clarence replied slowly, “It’s mine.”

Stella took a deep breath. She decided to let it go.

Looking at the porridge and vegetables in front of her, she felt like her food was tasteless.

On the other hand, the food Clarence was eating was her favourite spicy dish.

Clarence must be doing this on purpose. He didn’t like to take spicy food. Why did he order all that for
himself?

Stella begged softly, “Clarence, can I have a bite?”

“No.”

“Just one bite.”



“Not even half a bite.”

Stella pouted, “Great. Go away then.”

Stella left the unfinished porridge and vegetables aside and laid on the bed again. She covered herself
with a blanket and tried to filter out the aroma of Clarence’s food.

After a while, a doctor and a nurse came in to do a check-up for Stella. The doctor said it was nothing
big and that Stella might be overstressed and experiencing anxiety, so she fainted after a shock. Stella
only needed to rest up a few days, and she’ll recover.

Stella asked, “When can I discharge from the hospital then?”

“Um…”

Clarence’s voice rose, “Half a month.”

Stella was shocked, “I fainted. I didn’t break my leg. What do I need to stay in the hospital for so long?”

The doctor coughed lightly, “Based on your condition, it wasn’t anything big, but you shouldn’t be
overstressed. People and everything outside might affect your condition. So I would suggest you stay
in the hospital for half a month. Wait until you’re recovered, then we’ll discharge you.”

The doctor quickly continued before Stella had the chance to reject, “So, we’ll leave now. Ring the bell
if you need anything.”

Then, the doctor and the nurse quickly left the room.

Stella didn’t even have the chance to voice out her opinion.

After the door was closed, Clarence said, “You’ve heard what the doctor said. Now, go to sleep.”



Stella looked at Clarence and said carefully, “The doctor was giving suggestion. I can ignore a
suggestion.”

Clarence raised his brows and pouted.

Stella knew Clarence wouldn’t have anything nice to say with this look. Stella quickly pulled the blanket
over and closed her eyes, “Alright, I’ll sleep now. We’ll talk later.”

Clarence didn’t reply to Stella.

Stella was exhausted. She felt weak and tired, so she fell asleep quickly after closing her eyes.

After a while, Stella felt like somebody hugged her from the back.

Perhaps Clarence and Stella used to living together. Stella didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, even if they
were in the hospital ward. Instead, she turned around and hid in Clarence’s arms like how she used to
be.

Clarence hugged Stella’s waist and rested his chin on Stella’s head. The coldness in his eyes slowly
faded away.

Stella never planned to tell Clarence what happened today.

Clarence didn’t dare to imagine what could happen if he wasn’t there, and Stella fainted.

Clarence became angry again when that idea came into his mind. Looking at Stella’s slumbered face,
Clarence lowered his head and bit Stella’s lips and left a light mark on her lips.

Stella felt a sharp pain. She waved her hand, hoping Clarence would leave her alone. However,
Clarence returned to his previous position earlier than that and continued to hug Stella in his arms.

It was better for Stella to stay in the hospital after what happened.



It could avoid bad things from happening to Stella to the utmost extent.

In the police station.

It was already 11 o’clock at night after everything was done.

Jeffrey was an escaped criminal who faked his death, and he should be serving his sentence by now.
So, he got locked up right away after the police arrested him. He will only be brought to the court when
there was new progress on the hidden-body case.

Jeffrey was still cursing Channing when he got arrested by the police. He said Channing was his son,
and Channing was never going to escape from him his entire life.

Channing remained expressionless and silent the whole process.

After walking out of the police station, Sherry said, “Channing, he is a crazy man, and all he said was
bullshit. Don’t take any of his words seriously.”

Channing was deep in thought. After hearing what Sherry said, he nodded and replied, “Alright.”

Sherry wanted to continue consoling Channing, but she didn’t know what else to say.

It was a non-effective consoling process.

Luckily Daniel said something to Channing, “It’s getting late. Let’s send you back to school.”

Channing said, “Don’t bother. It’s closed.”

“Then stay at my place?”

“Nah.”



Sherry asked, “Then where are you staying tonight?”

Channing replied, “Don’t worry about me. I have a place to go.”

“No, I have to get you to a safe place before I leave, or else I didn’t know how to explain to your sister,”
Sherry tried to guilt-trip Channing, “Furthermore, your sister is in the hospital right now. You wouldn’t
want her to worry about you while she is in the hospital, am I right?”

Channing frowned and remained silent after Sherry brought up Stella’s name.

Daniel added, “Alright, you go and stay at my house for tonight. After all, I won’t be there tonight. No
one would disturb you.”

Sherry felt like something wasn’t right. She looked at Daniel.

Sherry realized Daniel was looking at her as well.

Sherry was speechless.

She was jinxed.

Was Daniel going to follow her home?

Sherry ignored Daniel and told Channing, “You could stay in a hotel if you want.”

Channing replied after a long pause, “I’m going to the hospital.”

Sherry said, “Clarence should be staying with your sister right now. Aren’t you afraid that he would
scold you?”

Channing pouted, “I’m not going into the ward.”
