Chapter 116
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 116<\/p>\n
At the thought of it, Sebastian glanced down at Stella’s hand. The plain silver band was still resting prominently on her ring finger.<\/p>\n
Not long after, Sebastian pulled the car into the hospital parking lot.<\/p>\n
He helped Stella out of the passenger seat, then guided her through registration and found a doctor.<\/p>\n
The doctor thoroughly cleaned the scrape on Stella’s palm and took an X-ray of her ankle. Fortunately, there were no fractures, just some soft tissue contusion. The doctor advised her to apply ointment regularly, get plenty of rest, and minimize walking.<\/p>\n
By the time they finished everything, nearly an hour had passed.<\/p>\n
“Are you heading home? Do you want me to drop you off?” Sebastian asked.<\/p>\n
Stella had already burdened him for far too long; there was no way she was going to let him drive her all the way back.<\/p>\n
“No, thank you. I’ve already requested a car to pick me up.”<\/p>\n
Stella pulled out her phone. “Mr. Huxley, how much were the medical bills? I’ll transfer the money to you.”<\/p>\n
“Scan my QR code.” Sebastian pulled up his profile on his phone.<\/p>\n
After Stella added him as a contact, she asked for the total again, but Sebastian waved her off, indicating it wasn’t necessary.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Quinn, we can consider ourselves friends now. There’s no need to keep track of every penny. Besides, I might need to ask you for a favor someday.”<\/p>\n
Letting a man she had just met through a series of chance encounters help her this much without even reimbursing him didn’t sit right with Stella.<\/p>\n
She went ahead and transferred him a couple hundred dollars\u2014an amount that wouldn’t insult him but should easily cover the afternoon’s expenses.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Huxley, thank you so much for today, but please accept the money. Friends should keep their debts clear. I’ve already taken up so much of your time; I couldn’t possibly let you pay for this too.”<\/p>\n
Stella’s tone held a note of unyielding persistence. “If there’s ever anything you need help with in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3404","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
