Ch.931 Chapter 934 - When Love Comes Late

âYeah.

I was hoping to catch you for a chat, and here you are.

Stellaâs forehead creased slightly, but she managed a smile.

âDo you have something you need to talk about?â

âStellaâ¦â Farris took a moment to gather his thoughts.

âI need to ask for a favor for Mina.

At the mention of Mina, Stellaâs smile vanished, her face turning grave.

Farris rushed to explain, âMinaâs trial has started.

I get she messed up.

But her lawyer says if you could vouch for her, it might soften the judgeâs verdict.

Stella stared at Farris, taken aback.

Had she not caught on to the problem and sought treatment in time, her hand might have been irreparably damaged.

It was all because of Mina.

And here was Farris, pleading for someone Like that?

Stella took a breath to steady herself and glanced at the movie ticket clutched in Farrisâ grip.

âDid you get that ticket for her today, too?â

Farris seemed caught off guard, silent for a moment as if her quick shift threw him.

It took him a while to reply.

âMina did a foolish thing because of me.

Surprise flickered in Stellaâs eyes once more.

âIâve never liked Mina.

Iâve turned her down multiple times.

I thought sheâd give up, but she only grew more persistent.

â Farris let out a sigh and turned away, his mind drifting to the past.

âMina left me a letter when I got back to work, kind of like a goodbye.

By the time I tried to track her down, there was no way to reach her.

â His eyes grew misty.

âIn the end, her folks found her in her car, unconscious.

Sheâs been in a coma ever since and hasnât woken up.

He looked down at the movie ticket in his hand.

âShe wanted to see this film.

She always asked me to go with her.

But with her being like thisâ¦ So, Iâm going to see it on her behalf first, then tell her about it.

He stopped, his gaze fixed on Stella, his voice earnest as he spoke of Mina.

âEverything she ever did to you, Stella, was my fault.

Iâm begging you, please let it slide.

Once sheâs up again, I promise she wonât trouble you anymore.

Stella listened, caught off guard.

She didnât see any of this coming, nor had she imagined Mina would contemplate suicide.
