Chapter 1843

She pressed her temples as the sharp pain intensified; her face drained of color and sweat formed on her brow.

It was evident her condition was deteriorating.

Stella, noticing Bella’s distress, expressed her concern.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling alright?”

Struggling against the dizziness, Bella looked up at Stella and assured her weakly, “I’m fine…”

The effort seemed to drain her of energy.

She paused to gather herself before motioning toward her bag.

“Could you grab my medicine from there? It’s Likely just a flare-up of a chronic issue.

I should feel better after taking my medication.

”

Hearing this, Stella quickly retrieved Bella’s bag.

Inside, she found only one medicine bottle, which had no label or instructions.

This absence of details made Stella uneasy.

After a brief hesitation, she suggested to Bella, “Matthew has a friend who’s an excellent doctor.

Maybe you should see him for a check-up?”

Concerned that Bella might doubt her motives as Elizabeth had, Stella quickly added, “I’ve noticed you’ve been feeling unwell a lot recently.

You’re always taking medicines that don’t seem to help much.

Overmedicating can have side effects and harm your health.

Why not get a thorough check-up to find the right treatment?”

Bella, feeling increasingly unwell, realized Stella’s advice was sound.

After a moment’s reflection, she agreed.

“I’ll ask Elizabeth to go to the hospital with me tomorrow.

”

Stella’s brow furrowed at the mention of Elizabeth.

She recalled that Elizabeth had previously discouraged Bella from seeing a doctor.

Worried that Bella’s condition could worsen, Stella pressed, “We’re both free today.

The sooner you’re examined, the better for your peace of mind.

There’s no need to wait.

Elizabeth has her own matters to attend to; let me accompany you instead.

”

Bella hesitated, caught off guard by the suggestion.

Stella earnestly added, “I’ll be taking over your studio, and I care about you.

Don’t you trust me? It’s also my responsibility to ensure you’re well.

”

Finally convinced, Bella nodded her agreement.

“Thank you, Stella.

That’s very thoughtful of you.

”

Privately, Bella felt relieved at the prospect of not involving Elizabeth, preventing her from further intruding into Stella’s affairs with Matthew.

With Bella’s consent, Stella wasted no time in reaching out to Matthew, quickly briefing him on the situation.

“Please arrange for Cordell to see Bella today for a check-up.

I trust no one else with this.

”

Matthew immediately agreed, asking for their location to pick them up.

“Where are you now? I’ll come and take you to the hospital.

”

Stella provided their current address, and after hanging up, Matthew got in touch with Cordell to brief him on the situation.

“Okay, I’ll set it up mow.

Come whenever you’re ready,” Cordell assured him.

Just before ending the call, Matthew added, “While you’re at it, let’s redo the paternity test for Bella and Stella.
