Marshall took the cup of tea and thanked Stella.

Keegan reached for the other cup, only to find Stella grabbing and sipping from it. He shot her a puzzled look, to which she responded, “Your cup’s in the kitchen. Go fetch it yourself.”

Marshall continued, “This man is now in Rivera. He developed a tumor and is undergoing chemotherapy at the city hospital.”
