Chapter 1025
Felicity was shocked.
"l-lsn't it... too soon?"
Felicity was not mentally prepared for that as she hesitantly said, 'The doctor said that the treatment could work. Why don't we
see how it goes first? It's too pessimistic to be announcing it now. What if you recovered after that?"
Vermont put on an extremely downhearted look. "The doctor wouldn't put it that way if it really works.’ He paused momentarily,
"Are you regretting your decision now?"
"I don't..."
Felicity was about to explain herself, but she figured she would only sound like she was making excuses for herself. So, she said
after a while. "Well... you do it then."
Vermont was delighted.
He drafted the text and glanced at Felicity, who looked like the saddest person on earth. Then, he cleared his throat and said,
"Give me your hand."
"What?"
Felicity had no idea what he wanted to do, but she did as he said anyway.
Vermont held her tiny hand and slid his fingers through the gaps between her hand, holding it tightly.
Before Felicity could realize what was happening, Vermont had already taken a photo of their interlocked hands.
After that, he let go of her hand, uploaded the photo, and published it.
Stella had just finished showering and was lying on the bed wearing a face mask. Her phone was beside her, playing a podcast
where the hosts criticized some judges and participants of an acting variety show.
The hosts did not hold themselves back at all. They knew that variety shows like that were all scripted; singing and dancing idols
would participate in challenging themselves while children of celebrities participated to prove that they did not need their parents
to be successful. Also, participants that the judges praised would never be selected, whereas the ones they criticized would
always advance to the next stage. And when they ran out of ideas to manipulate their audience, they started spreading rumors
about their participants dating each other.
Stella was the kind of person who would not watch a single episode of these shows but was obsessed with criticizing them.
One could imagine what quality these shows had when even a person like Bella could be a judge.
Daniel even asked her if she wanted to gain more exposure by attending this show before.
Stella thought it was part of her work, so she implicitly expressed her reluctance to participate. However, she also said she would
cooperate with the company if needed.
Daniel listened to her and never asked her about it again. It was then that Stella realized that she could actually pick her jobs.
The company had given her much flexibility on this.
Then, she thought about Wenham's invitation to have a meal together. She contemplated if she should take the opportunity and
bring some gifts to thank Trevor for his care and support at work.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She looked at it and saw Vermont posted something on his social media account.
'it's already so late. Did this guy go mess around in a bar again? Keegan isn't with him, right?'
She had set special notifications for Vermont's updates a long time ago. He was obsessed with social media and frequently
updated his Facebook and Twitter. She followed him mainly to keep an eye on Keegan since he would rarely post anything
himself. So Vermont was the only source for her to get any updates on Keegan.
Stella was worried that Vermont had brought her man out to mess around, so she immediately tapped it open.
In the next second, she sat up from her bed abruptly.
Vermont posted a photo of him holding hands with another person with the caption: [Guys, I'm off the market. It's been nice
knowing you. @ FelicityThompson]
