L sent a message: "So, to you, am I someone who is worth it?"
Before Stella could reply, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Neville Connolly, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Stella's expression tensed slightly as she answered the call.
"Neville."
Neville's voice was heavy. "I'm sorry to bother you, Star."
Stella's heart skipped a beat; she had a sinking feeling. She asked softly, "What happened?"
She and Neville hadn't been in contact much recently. She had heard from Marvin Connolly that Grandma Connolly's health was starting to deteriorate. Grandma Connolly had lived her entire life in Aetheria and wanted to spend her final days there. For the past while, Neville and Marvin had been in Aetheria, taking care of her.
Some time ago, when Neville had heard that Stella was in trouble, he had called to ask if she needed help. He had only been reassured after learning that Stella had things under control.
Neville said, "Grandma… she might not have much time left. She wants to see you one last time. I'm sorry, Star, I know it's a lot to ask, but I need you to come."
Thinking of the kind old woman, Stella's heart ached. She agreed without a moment's hesitation. "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Hearing Stella agree so readily, without even a pause, the other end of the line went quiet for a moment. After a while, Neville's slightly hoarse voice came through.
"Star, thank you."
Stella managed a small smile. "There's no need for such formalities between us."
After hanging up, Stella immediately had her secretary arrange a private jet to Aetheria. Then, she went to Joshua's office to tell him the news.
Joshua's eyes flickered when he heard. "Neville is in Aetheria now?"
