Chapter 189
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 189<\/p>\n
The man wore a trench coat, his hair slightly windblown. His dark, predatory gaze was locked in their direction.<\/p>\n
It was Jarrod!<\/p>\n
Stella froze instantly.<\/p>\n
Wasn’t he supposed to be out of the country? Why was he here?<\/p>\n
Logan was only at the hospital to visit an elder at his father’s request. He never expected to run into Stella, much less have her throw herself into his arms.<\/p>\n
The scent of the woman in his embrace was supposedly unfamiliar, and logically, Logan knew he should push her away.<\/p>\n
But she looked so impossibly fragile. When she collided with him, she clung to him like a lifeline, her voice trembling with tears, her body shivering against his.<\/p>\n
Driven by some inexplicable phantom instinct, he didn’t push her away. He even felt a bizarre urge to pat her back and comfort her.<\/p>\n
While he hesitated, his arms suddenly emptied. Someone had forcibly ripped Stella out of his embrace.<\/p>\n
He snapped his head up to meet Jarrod’s chilling, murderous glare.<\/p>\n
Just like at the birthday banquet, Jarrod refused to give Logan a second glance. Treating him like dead air, he simply lowered his head and grasped Stella’s hand.<\/p>\n
“How is Grandma?” Jarrod’s voice was distinctly hoarse.<\/p>\n
The blind terror and helplessness swirling in Stella’s eyes noticeably melted the second she looked at Jarrod.<\/p>\n
Her gaze wavered as she stared at him, her voice still thick with tears. “She hasn’t woken up yet…”<\/p>\n
Stella probably didn’t even realize it herself, but her posture and tone screamed of profound trust and dependency\u2014the kind reserved only for one’s closest confidant.<\/p>\n
Jarrod pulled her into a secure hug, rubbing soothing circles on her back. “She’s going to be fine.”<\/p>\n
Watching them hold each other, a sharp, suffocating ache pierced Logan’s chest.<\/p>\n
It felt as if something was violently trying to tear its way out of his brain, yet remained permanently trapped.<\/p>\n
A dull, throbbing pain bloomed in his temples. He massaged his head, wordlessly turning on his heel and walking away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3477","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3477","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=3477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
