Chapter 1847
When Love Comes Late
Cordell was about to inquire further, but Matthew intervened, shaking his head subtly.
Cordell acquiesced, choosing silence instead.
After some time, Bella began to regain her composure, though the shock lingered.
Stellaâs heart sank at the issue Bella was facing.
She asked Cordell, âBella has been on this medication for a while, and recently, sheâs been taking a significant amount of it.
Will this have a severe impact on her health? Do you have a treatment plan?â
Cordellâs expression was grave as he replied, âThe drug has already had a significant impact on her.
Initially, it affected her mental state, but if she continues taking it, it could cause serious damage to her brainâs nerves.
The consequences could be dire.
However, itâs not too late.
It seems the damage to her mental state isnât irreversible yet.
If she stops taking the medication and undergoes treatment, thereâs still hope for recovery.
â
Stella felt a wave of relief wash over her, realizing how fortunate they were to have brought Bella in for examination today.
If they had delayed any longer, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
âThank you, Cordell.
Please do everything you can to help Bella,â
Stella said earnestly.
Cordell nodded solemnly.
âI will do my best.
â
Then he outlined the treatment plan to Bella, and she accepted it without hesitation.
âIâll follow the doctorâs orders.
â
With everything sorted, Stella prepared to take Bella home.

However, Matthew, who had been silent until now, spoke up suddenly.
âI suggest you keep this treatment plan from Elizabeth for now.
â
Bellaâs face clouded with displeasure as she confronted Matthew, âWhat are you suggesting? Are you implying that Elizabeth drugged me?â
Matthewâs silence spoke volumes, his gaze confirming her suspicions.
With a chill in her voice, Bella retorted, âElizabeth is my own flesh and blood.
She would never do such a thing.
â
Trying to soothe her, Stella interjected, âTake a moment to calm down.
Matthew doesnât speak without thinking.
Maybe you should consider his perspective?â
Given the recent unsettling events, Stella herself harbored doubts about Elizabethâs innocence.
Yet, she hesitated to voice these to Bella, knowing the pain it could cause.
She imagined the heartbreak Bella would endure upon discovering her daughterâs betrayal.
However, if Elizabeth was indeed the culprit, Bellaâs safety was at risk as long as she remained under the same roof.
Since Matthew had broached the subject, it seemed prudent to clarify things and caution Bella.
Gradually, Bellaâs anger subsided.
Matthew then Laid out his thoughts carefully.
âThe only people whoâve had access to your medication are you, your daughter, and your family doctor.
If we eliminate you from the equation, the likely suspect is one of them.
There must be a motive behind this, though Iâm not privy to the specifics of your family dynamics.
But given the impact on your health and your close living arrangement with Elizabeth, suspicion naturally falls on her.
Itâs wise to stay alert.
