Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 70: Quiet Concern

The rope always snaps at its thinnest point, and misfortune targets those with hard lives.

Silas Sutton said not to panic, but Stella Grant couldn’t truly remain calm.

She didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She asked herself if she wasn’t someone who wallowed in self-pity, nor someone who crumbled when facing difficulties, yet at this moment, a sense of helplessness suddenly washed over her.

It’s the feeling that no matter how hard you try, how driven you are, you can never overcome fate.

The doctor’s words made Stella Grant feel like all her years of hard work were a joke.

She had been striving to live, giving her all in life, yet in the end, fate repeatedly struck her down.

Justin Harrison originally thought Stella Grant was someone who wasn’t filial to her elders, but seeing her pale face at this moment, he suddenly realized something.

Compared to Stella Grant, Silas Sutton seemed much calmer.

Supporting Stella’s waist, he asked in a deep voice, "Is Aunt in the early or late stage?"

Justin Harrison’s expression had slightly eased, with a sense of guilt for making Stella feel awkward without understanding the situation, "Early stage."

Silas Sutton asked, "What’s the cure rate?"

Justin Harrison said, "Around ten percent."

Ten percent, a slim chance.

The group fell silent for a moment, and Justin Harrison continued, "The main issue now isn’t the cure rate, but the kidney source. A couple of days ago, there was a matched kidney, but Aunt Adler refused the surgery."

Justin Harrison’s words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, adding insult to injury.

Stella Grant’s body couldn’t help but tremble, and Silas Sutton’s hand on her waist tightened slightly as if to comfort, "I’ll try to find a solution for the kidney source."

Stella pressed her lips tightly, not responding or speaking.

Until Mrs. Grant was settled in the ward, Stella didn’t say a word.

When Forrest Keller brought large bags of daily necessities into the ward, Silas Sutton was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window making a call.

Silas Sutton’s voice was low and deep, "Yes, as soon as possible."

Forrest Keller put down the things, stepped forward, and spoke softly to Silas Sutton, "President Sutton, I’ve brought back everything."

Silas Sutton just happened to hang up the call, turned his head to look at Forrest Keller, "Mm."

Forrest Keller said, "There’s one more thing, Mr. Sutton wants you to go back, saying Miss Shelby is causing a scene."

Silas Sutton nonchalantly closed his phone, with no ripple in his eyes, "Let her be."

Forrest Keller still harbored concerns, "But Mr. Sutton..."

Silas Sutton, with no expression, changed the subject, "Hire a caregiver, someone with extensive experience, preferably over ten years of nursing experience."

Realizing that Silas Sutton didn’t care about Mr. Sutton and Charlotte Shelby at all, Forrest Keller felt melancholy but didn’t dare to contradict on the surface, "Okay, I’ll handle it right away."

Silas Sutton, "Go ahead."

As Forrest Keller left again, only Silas Sutton and Stella Grant were left in the ward.

Silas Sutton strode to her side, pulled over a chair, and sat down, lacking his usual nonchalance and flirtation, "Feeling better?"

Stella Grant nodded, her lips forming a small smile, "Much better."

After speaking, Stella looked up at Silas Sutton, "Thank you, President Sutton, for today."

If it was a normal day, Silas Sutton would definitely take the opportunity to tease her a bit, but today he didn’t. He nodded slightly, accepting her thanks, "Since you’re feeling better, let’s talk about something else."

Stella Grant thought he was going to talk about work, her back stiffened, "I’ve sent the revised proposal to your email."

Silas Sutton lowered his eyes to meet hers without arguing, "Mm, I’ve seen it. You did well, it’s approved."

Stella didn’t respond, but her taut shoulders visibly relaxed a lot.

Seeing her no longer tense, Silas Sutton directly got to the point, "Regarding the kidney source, I’ve asked some contacts to find it; there should be an answer within a week."

Stella didn’t expect Silas Sutton to mention this. She thought he was just casually comforting her in the emergency room. Her eyes flickered, and she tightly clenched her hand on her lap, saying, "What does President Sutton want from me?"

Nothing is ever for free.

No one gets up early without a reason.

Stella didn’t believe Silas Sutton would be so kind to a person unrelated to him.

The air was still for a second, and Silas Sutton spoke seriously, "Consider it my reward for recruiting you."

Stella was taken aback by his words.

Silas Sutton noted her reaction, pretended not to see it, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, tapped it against the case, ready to light it, glanced at Mrs. Grant lying on the hospital bed, and silently put it away, "Compared to feminine charms, I prefer having a reliable partner by my side."
