Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 78: She Has a Boyfriend

Seeing the message from Silas Sutton, Stella Grant’s breath hitched.

The next second, she hurried to reply: Is there a donation? Or?

Silas Sutton: There is a donation.

Stella Grant: When will the other party be available for surgery?

Silas Sutton: Anytime, it mainly depends on Dr. Harrison.

Stella Grant: I’ll contact Dr. Harrison after work and ask about my mom’s current condition. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

While at the hospital, Stella Grant had asked Justin Harrison about the precautions for the surgery.

Justin Harrison told her that the most important preparation before the surgery is dialysis.

Dialysis can effectively remove excess water and uremia toxins, correct electrolyte imbalance and acidosis, and put the body in a good state.

This is greatly beneficial for kidney transplant surgery and immunosuppressant treatment.

Mrs. Grant had indeed been cooperating with dialysis for a while, but later on, probably to save money, she stopped going.

After Stella Grant sent this message, Silas Sutton didn’t immediately reply.

After a long time, he replied with a single word: Mm.

Stella Grant stared at the message on her phone screen for a while, pressed her lips slightly, then typed a few words: President Sutton, thank you, I’m sorry for the trouble.

This time Silas Sutton replied instantly, and only from the text, it felt very distant: Mm, focus on your work.

Stella Grant: Okay.

After messaging Silas Sutton, Stella Grant composed herself for a moment and started working again.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Stella Grant received a message from Sue Woods: Back?

Stella Grant was already tidying up her desk and replied: Mm.

Sue Woods: Want to meet for dinner?

In the past few days when Stella Grant was in Brynnfield, Sue Woods had been on the phone with her every day. If her boss hadn’t denied her leave, she probably would have flown directly there.

Stella Grant knew she was worried and wanted to use the dinner to check on her condition, so she replied: Seven-thirty?

Sue Woods: What do you need to do at six-thirty?

Stella Grant: Traffic jam.

Sue Woods: Eat at your place?

Stella Grant: Sure.

Sue Woods: I’ll cook today, show you my skills.

Stella Grant: ...

She still remembered the last time Sue Woods said that, she almost set her kitchen on fire.

Seeing Stella Grant’s reply of an ellipsis, Sue Woods firmly stated: This! Time! Is! Different!

Stella Grant, against her will: I believe you.

At six-thirty, Stella Grant left the office.

Since she had come by Forrest Keller’s car today, she had to take a taxi now.

At this time, it’s the evening rush hour, making it difficult to get a taxi. Stella Grant placed an order on an app, but no driver accepted it even after more than ten minutes.

Just as Stella Grant was considering whether to call Sue Woods to pick her up, a car stopped in front of her.

Instinctively, Stella Grant looked up, and the car window rolled down, revealing Forrest Keller’s familiar face, "Having trouble getting a taxi?"

Stella Grant smiled, "It’s rush hour, indeed not easy."

Forrest Keller’s expression was a bit unnatural, his tone slightly stammering, "Shall I give you a ride?"

Seeing his unease, Stella Grant glanced at the back seat of the car.

Forrest Keller noticed her looking back, his jaw clenched tightly, wanting to hint but afraid to show it.

Watching his expression, Stella Grant understood and pondered silently.

The reason Forrest Keller stopped was most likely on Silas Sutton’s orders.

Should she get in this car or not?

If she got in, it would be awkward.

If she didn’t, given that Silas Sutton just told her they found a kidney donor today, she should thank him in person.

While Stella Grant was weighing her options, suddenly a car honked twice not far away.

Raising her head, Stella Grant saw Ray Woods leaning out of the car window and waving at her.

Without thinking, Stella Grant bent down, smiled at Forrest Keller, and said, "No need, I’ll take my boyfriend’s car."

Stella Grant said ’boyfriend’ with extra clarity.

As if relieved of a burden, Forrest Keller said, "Alright, then I’ll go first."

Stella Grant smiled, "Mm."

To prove she wasn’t lying, Stella Grant straightened up and walked away before Forrest Keller started driving.

Indeed, Forrest Keller didn’t immediately leave, watching through the rearview mirror as Stella Grant got into Ray Woods’ car. He raised his hand to touch his nose awkwardly and said, "Manager Grant and Ray Woods really have a great relationship."

After saying this, Forrest Keller cautiously glanced at Silas Sutton through the rearview mirror.

Silas Sutton’s gaze was cold, meeting his eyes in the mirror with a voice as icy as if it were dipped in ice, "Really?"
