Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1081

Uriah's breathing was getting faster, rough and uneven.

"Stella, this is between me and Tegan. I’d advise you to butt out!"

His voice had turned ice-cold, the disdain for Stella’s interference unmistakable.

Stella caught it instantly. "Oh, so now I’m annoying you—just for caring? Honestly, Uriah."

"Your own girlfriend was driven to ask her best friend for help, and yet you have the nerve to call this something just between you two?"

"If it’s your business, then step up and handle it for once!"

She was about to blow a gasket.

"Anytime there’s an issue between her and Leslie, you take Leslie’s side without thinking. If you trust your precious sister that much, why not just shack up with her for the rest of your life?"

Fuming, Stella ended the call.

That tirade left Uriah’s head pounding. He pinched the bridge of his nose, then turned to his assistant, Miriam. "Has she been in surgery all this time?"

He was parked just outside the hospital. He’d meant to go straight in and look for Tegan, but Miriam had already checked—Tegan had gone into the operating room the moment she arrived at the hospital and hadn’t come out since.

Miriam nodded. "Yes, Ms. Tegan’s been in the OR with Dr. Yoder—"

She stopped short.

She had to rein herself in—her boss was on edge, and the wrong word could set him off. Why couldn’t she just keep her mouth shut sometimes? That was not something she should’ve blurted out. With the way Uriah had been lately, even saying Finley Yoder’s name was like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Uriah’s gaze narrowed dangerously. "Finley's with her?"

Miriam could only manage a nervous laugh and nod. "Yeah. That’s right."

"Why didn’t you mention this earlier?"

His voice went deathly quiet. / His tone turned arctic.
