He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 90

Stella shook her head stiffly, her voice as raspy as sandpaper. "I'm fine... Skylar, Mr. Lennox, I won't ever bother you again. I wish you..."

The word 'happiness' died on her tongue. She physically couldn't say it.

She wasn't that generous. She couldn't give them her blessing.

Stella didn't force herself, nor did she want to stay there a second longer. She forced herself to her feet and stumbled away like a ghost.

Her retreating figure was frail and deeply lonely, yet it radiated an absolute, unyielding finality.

Logan stood frozen in place, watching her disappear. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and the pounding in his skull escalated into a blinding agony.

"Logan, let's—"

Before Skylar could finish her sentence, Logan suddenly clutched his chest, coughed violently, crimson staining his lips before he collapsed straight to the ground!

"Logan!" Skylar panicked, catching him as he fell and screaming, "Someone fainted! Get a doctor, hurry!"

...

Stella was violently ill.

Her head pounded relentlessly, feeling as though it were stuffed with waterlogged cotton. She lacked the strength to even pry her eyes open.

By evening, a severe fever had taken over her body.

But she was too weak to search for medicine and too drained to ask anyone for help. She simply lay alone in the massive bed.

She had no idea how much time passed before her fever-addled brain registered movement near the bed.

Stella forced her heavy eyelids open and saw Jarrod.

He must have just returned from his business trip, as he was still wearing his tailored suit.

He stood tall and imposing by the bed, his hand hovering over her forehead as if checking her temperature.

Seeing her eyes open, Jarrod's expression remained characteristically stoic. "Why didn't you call for help if you were sick? Where is the maid?"
