Chapter 944:
'Was it really impulse that caused Stella to run away from her wedding with Weston ?’Zeta wondered and pursed her lips.
Stella's words did little to convince her.
"You're not an impulsive person. Ifyou're not sure, you wouldn't have decided to do that." Zeta could see through her. Stella dropped her head.
"It's indeed not as simple as I claimed.” Stella probably would not have come this far if it weren't for Warren's promise. Warren, however, had never shown himself until now. She wondered if Warren had changed his mind or if he had lost the game between him and Weston.
Either way, her fate was decided. There was no chance of things changing "If you're not comfortable talking about it, then don't." Zeta stopped forcing her.
"I understand your situation. If you have time today, get yourself a detailed examination. If there's nothing physical, it may be a psychological problem. I can recommend you a good psychiatrist..."
"Okay. Thanks, Dr. Taylor." It was about time. Stella looked at the clock on the wall and saw that the half-hour was almost up. Weston should be back soon.
“Do you still have patients ? I shouldn't keep taking up your time."
“Don't worry about it,” Zeta said.
“I don't have many appointments today. You're my last patient.” Zeta gave it a thought and suddenly remembered something. She said, smiling, “I almost forgot to give you the wedding gift.”
She pointed to the lush potted plants on the balcony.
“ I've raised these with care. Pick one." Stella froze for a moment, surprised that Zeta would give her a potted plant. She walked over to the healthy green plants, and upon closer inspection , she found that they looked lush and well-trimmed.
"Did you raise these yourself?".
“Yes. I like gardening to pass the time. The hobby helps me cultivate my body and soul.”
"Oleander?" Stella did not know much about plants. She just thought it sounded like a pretty good name.
"Is it a tree?"
"No." Zeta shook her head, smiling.
"Oleander is a common ornamental evergreen shrub that blooms throughout the year. It has the best blooms in summer and autumn, but it rarely bears fruit when potted...” Stella nodded.
“So it's not some sort of tree.” The plant sported a very beautiful five-petaled flower, its deep pink warmly juxtaposed against the green. It was gorgeous.
"Did you just say that this is poisonous?" Zeta nodded with a stern look. ..
"I was about to take it home. If I leave it here, someone might get hurt,” Zeta explained.
