"Adrian, if you had only one opportunity to save yourself from a terrible situation, would you do everything within your power to save yourself even if it goes against your conscience?" Stella asked calmly while studying Adrian's physical reaction.
Adrian thought about Stella's question critically while wondering what was going on in her mind. He already picked up a worrisome hint from the question and he couldn't help but wonder if she was in any kind of trouble.
"It depends on the type of situation," Adrian said after critically analysing the question. "Do not forget, there is always an honest way out of every issue even though it might not be pleasant at first. However, if it is a life or death problem, and I have exhausted all other options to no avail, only then would I consider going against my conscience to save myself."
"Hmm!" Stella's lips curve into a brief smile. "Thanks for your honesty."
