An hour later, Stella left the auto shop, completely satisfied.
Leonard watched her cheerful departure, a cold smile twisting his lips. He refused to believe she could assemble the Dawnlight on her own. A custom car like that, without the original blueprints, was impossible for even a professional mechanic to replicate down to the internal details.
Stella, assemble the Dawnlight? What a joke.

When Stella returned to the hospital room, Joshua was surprised to see her back so soon. "You're back already?"
He knew she had gone to deal with the car. Since no one would take the assembly job, she had decided to look at it herself. She had experience with race cars and had done most of the work on her own vehicles, so she had some knowledge of car assembly.
Stella recounted her encounter with Leonard.
Joshua's expression darkened. "So, he agreed?"
"Yes, he did," Stella said, still a bit surprised herself. "I found it incredible, too. I never thought the great Leonard Lerman would be so accommodating just because something involves Aurora."
Joshua fell silent, a cold look settling in his eyes.
Noticing his change in mood, Stella asked, "Joshua, what is it? Is something wrong? Or..." A thought occurred to her. "Is he planning some other trap for me?"
