Chapter 103 Unexpected Encounter
These are all photos of Peggy.
The mental rehabilitation center was quite special. Most of the patients there had low immunity, so
recently they had modified the regulations to avoid the visitation of family members bringing in outside
bacteria or flu viruses.
Family members could only visit once a month, and for the rest of the time, the patients had to stay in
the sanatorium and be taken care of by professionals.
Stella could no longer visit her mother whenever she wanted like before.
So Aiden took advantage of his position to occasionally take some photos for her, so she would know
that her mother was doing well inside.
"Mrs. Peggy is recovering well." Aiden said with a chuckle, "The nurse taking care of her said that
recently, whether it's talking or engaging in outdoor activities, she behaves no differently from a normal
person. I have also checked her medical records and asked the attending physician. Her medication
has been halved recently." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Really?" This was great news for Stella.
"Yes." Aiden nodded. "But I'm just a doctor here on loan for learning, so I don't have much authority,
which is why... I can't bring you in to see her often. Otherwise, you would be pleasantly surprised!"
"Don't say that." Stella gratefully smiled. "Having these photos is already great! Dr. Johnson, thank you
so much."
"You're too polite." Aiden pursed his lips. "I should be thanking you!"
"Thanking me?"
Aiden felt a little embarrassed, but he scratched his head and smiled as he told her, "I have been
dating Mia recently... Ha, I know you must have said many good things about me, right? Thank you,
Stella!"
Stella was genuinely happy for him and also blessed Mia.
She just didn't know if Mia had told him about that matter.
She fell silent for a moment, and then looked up and smiled at him. "This is your own credit. Mia was
moved by your sincerity."
"But if it weren't for you arranging that trip, our progress wouldn't have been so fast."
"Alright, let's not thank each other too much. It'll make things awkward!" Stella laughed. Then she
suddenly thought of something and turned to open a drawer.
"By the way, Liam's boxing club has a match this weekend. Here's the ticket. Why don't you and Mia
come together?"
Aiden's eyes lit up. "Liam's match?"
"Not him, but a few of his students that he teaches." Stella smiled.
"Oh, then I must go and watch! I want to see how his strict teaching produces talented disciples!"
"Great, be sure to come!"
Stella sent Aiden to the company's entrance and went back to her office. She carefully put away the
photos and immediately immersed herself in work.
Since marrying Liam, the past half a year has been better and better for the two of them. Their
relationship improved every day, and they worked steadily, jointly managing their family.
Her mother's condition had also improved, and Samuel had overcome the psychic trauma of campus
bullying and was preparing for his desired university.
And every time she encountered danger, she could always turn it around and even turn calamity into a
blessing.
Half a year ago, her world was still dark, like stepping into an abyss and unable to see any light.
Perhaps it was also because God couldn't bear to let her suffer too much that he sent Liam to save her.
Stella smiled, and sweetness filled her two shallow dimples.
......
On the weekend, she arrived at the competition venue early, and in no time, there wasn't an empty seat
left. Just like last time, Liam arranged her seat in the middle.
Not long after, Mia and Aiden entered one after another.
"Stella, this place is amazing!" Aiden exclaimed, looking at the cheering crowd and the hormonally
charged athletes. He felt like he had entered a new world and couldn't take his eyes off everything.
On stage, several burly men were Liam's students.
They were fast, accurate, and ruthless, leaving their opponents defenseless and continuously pushing
them back. The bell for each match rang consecutively, and the winners were almost always Liam's
students.
Liam, as the head coach, sat calmly backstage, his stern face flashing a hint of approval.
"Wow, they're amazing! Yes!" Aiden was extremely excited, jumping and cheering along with the
audience. "Keep it up, with a hook punch... Yes!"
The cheers from the audience were deafening, and Liam's student won again.
"Stella, if Liam's students win all these matches, will he get a lot of prize money too?"
Stella was stunned by his question. She laughed for a long time and couldn't reply.
"What are you thinking?" Mia said with a wry smile, "Are you considering changing careers and
becoming a coach instead of a doctor?"
"This profession is really good!" Aiden looked around. "Look at these. They all bought tickets to come
in. Boxers get appearance fees regardless of whether they win or lose! Coaches definitely earn more!"
"Aiden, you're so money-minded," Mia said with wide eyes.
"Alas," Aiden sighed deliberately. "If I'm not money-minded, how can I save money to marry a wife?"
"What did you say?"
Aiden stifled a laugh and shook his head vigorously.
Mia also laughed and raised her hand to hit him, but suddenly froze when she turned around!
Stella was taken aback, sensing that something was wrong with her expression. "Mia, what's wrong?"
Mia remained silent, her eyes fixed on a certain spot, trembling all over, her face pale.
Stella followed her gaze.
Not far from the stands, there was a dark figure, walking through the crowd towards the safe exit.
Stella vaguely felt that the person had a sturdy figure and emitted a chilling aura just from his back.
Her heart trembled. Looking at Mia's expression again, she seemed to understand something...
At that moment, Mia suddenly stood up!
"Where are you going?" Stella also followed.
Mia didn't answer and rushed towards that figure. They went through the safe exit, crossed a dimly lit
corridor, and arrived at the backstage area of the competition venue.
Stella was panting and wanted to ask what was going on, but Mia suddenly stopped.
Outside the backstage dressing room, that man was standing face to face with Liam.
The harsh white light from the incandescent lamp highlighted the angles of their faces.
Both men had a strong presence, with equally deep and cold gazes. However, the unfamiliar man had
a more sinister expression.
"Darling..." Stella's heart pounded.
The man didn't seem friendly, and she was worried that Liam would be at a disadvantage.
But why did Liam know him?
Stella looked at him, then at Mia, her mind in chaos.
"Darling?" The man's voice trailed off, coldly smiling as he looked at Liam. "Are you married? It seems
like you're doing well!"
Liam stared at him, not saying a word.
The man exuded a thuggish aura, with a scar on his eyebrow. Even on such a hot day, he wore a pair
of black gloves. When he looked at Stella, he also noticed Mia by her side.
At that moment, his expression changed, and the icy coldness in his eyes cracked like the surface of
ice.
Mia stared at him as if she had seen a ghost, trembling all over.
"Mia..." Stella stepped forward and held her hand.
But the man's surprise only lasted for a moment, and he quickly regained his indifferent expression. He
lightly smirked, looked at Liam disdainfully, and flicked his cigarette ash on Liam without any hesitation.
