Stella was wet from the rain, when she got home, she took a hot shower and then laid down on the bed, soon falling asleep.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Clarence opened the door, looking at the person standing outside he asked, "What is it?"
Sherry asked in a small voice, "How is Stella?"
"Sheâs asleep."
"Is she okay?"
"Yeah."
Sherry nodded, then mumbled, "Thatâs good."
As she said that, she turned and was about to leave.
"Wait." Clarence called for her, "Do you know how to make ginger soup?"
Sherry was surprised, "What?"
Clarence said, "She was caught in the rain. Ginger soup can prevent her from getting sick."
Sherry finally reacted, and nodded, "Sure, let me do it."
She couldnât cook as well as Stella did, and she didnât like to make food herself, but the easy things she could still do.
Compared to Clarence who didnât know cooking at all, she was not so bad.
Sherry just entered the kitchen when Clarence said, "I need to go out. Keep an eye on her."
"Okay."
Hearing the clicking of the lock, Sherry took a deep breath, nd started looking for ginger in the kitchen.
Not long after, the hot ginger soup was done.
Sherry took the bowl and went to the bedroom. She put it on the night stand and went ahead to wake Stella.
"Stella? Stella?"
Stella was still asleep, but she heard someone calling her name so she answered.
Sherry said, "Come, drink the ginger soup and then go back to sleep, so you wonât get sick."
When she heard Sherryâs voice, Stellaâs mind was a bit clearer, but she felt that the world was spinning around her.
Sherry noticed that something was off so she touched her forehead, it was burning a little.
Stella sat up, her nose already stuffy, "Where is Clarence?"
"He said he was going out, maybe he has something to take care of."
Stella nodded, then asked Sherry, "How are you?"
Sherry answered, "I am well. But it was my fault for being too impulsive. Iif it wasnât me who ran there right away after getting the message, you wouldnât have fallen into the trap and went to the roof."
Stella laughed, "It has nothing to do with you. Even if you werenât there, he would have found another way. Lyndon had been hiding for too long. If we didnât have a chance like this, he wouldnât have shown himself."
"So itâs all good now, that scourge is dead." Sherry paused for a second before continuing, "Right, I saw that Caesar was also in the restaurant, and he was clashing with Clarence. Oh, and also, there was this Darnell. Didnât Caesar take Elaine for dinner? What was going on there?"
"This is very complicated, Sherry. I havenât told you before because I didnât want to drag you into this. Caesar is not a good person. We're quite certain that he is working with Lyndon, but they gave up on Lyndon for some reason. Because of this Lyndon fell from the roof today."
Sherry paused, "I thought he was alright, which was why I let Elaine leave with him today. I..."
Stella grabbed her hand, hesitating before she said, "Sherry, there is something else. You remember Elaine was taken away before, right? He was the one behind it."
Sherry was stunned when she heard that.
So that meant, her baby...
Stella said, "Donât worry, he will pay for what he had done."
Sherry looked down, her nose tingling.
Stella leaned over to hug her.
After a while, Sherry asked, "Daniel, how is he?"
After Sherry got back, she had seen the news that the Steward Group was mortgaging assets. She had meant to ask, but Stella was not in a good condition, so she didnât want to trouble her more.
Stella said, "He will be alright, they gave me two days, and there is still one day left."
"But so much money..."
Stella patted her on the shoulder, "As long as they are in City N, there will be a solution."
Sherry suddenly remembered, "Right, in City N, nobody is more formidable than Clarence, the king of hell."
Stella laughed on that. Well, Clarence had earned himself a new nick name.
Sherry let go of her and rubbed her eyes, "Alright, alright, letâs not talk about that anymore. Drink the ginger soup when itâs still warm."
Stella agreed.
She took the bowl and took one sip. It was still hot.
Sherry said to her, "Stella, drink that and then sleep. Sweat a little. If you are still not feeling well you need to take medicine tomorrow."
Stella nodded, "I should be fine."
When she finished the soup, Sherry tucked her in the blanket on all sides.
Sherry took the empty bowl, "Sleep, I am going home."
Stella answered in a small voice, "Good night."
"Night"
After Sherry left, Stella closed her eyes again. She didnât know if it was the ginger soup that started kicking, but the scenes in her dream became terrifying.
First it there was the fire that haunted her from time to time. She felt so hot that she was sweating.
Then after that, the fire turned into pouring rain.
Stella couldnât even react yet when she saw that someone fell off the building in front of her.
The next second, she felt as if someone was pushing her from behind, and she couldnât control herself but to fall as well.
The feeling of her falling woke her up.
Stella sat up straight. She was sweating all over.
Clarence was sitting next to her. "Did I wake you?"
Stella shook her head, "No, I..."
"Having a nightmare?"
Stella didnât speak, she was staring to the front.
Clarence reached out a hand and pulled her into his arms, "I am here, donât be afraid."
When she calmed herself down, she asked, "Where did you go?"
"When Lyndon died, you were there. There were some evidences they needed confirmation."
"Why didnât you call me..."
Clarence stroke her hair, "Itâs enough with me there."
Stella wanted to say something else, but Clarence pulled up the blanket over her, "Itâs alright, go back to sleep. We can talk tomorrow."
Stella drew herself back from his embrace and sniffed, "Why donât you sleep outside tonight. I am sick. I donât want to get you sick as well."
"Who hadnât had a cold before?"
"But..."
Clarence got close to her and kissed her on the lips, "Is that okay?"

She said in a bad manner, "If you catch a cold this time, I wonât have the energy to take care of you."
Clarence said, "Well, Alisa had been bored for some time. If we both get sick, we can call for her to come."
Stella didnât know what else to say.
She got into her blanket and closed her eyes, "Alright, sleep."
