Chapter 1852

If it weren’t for Stella’s interference, Elizabeth wouldn’t have spent every day anxious about Bella’s possessions being taken away.

She was convinced Stella had hidden agendas.

Why should she allow her near Bella?

As Elizabeth and Stella clashed at the doorway, Bella overheard and intervened, putting an end to their confrontation.

She addressed Elizabeth with a very cold tone.

“Aren’t you supposed to be heading to the airport? Why are you still hanging around? Get moving.

Don’t waste time.

”

Elizabeth had intended to fetch the doctor from the airport, but encountering Stella upon opening the door was unexpected.

Feeling unsettled by Stella’s presence, Elizabeth grappled with conflicting priorities, torn between dealing with Stella and the pressing matter with the doctor.

Eventually, she decided her plan with the doctor was more important.

Before departing, Elizabeth turned to Bella, her voice soft.

“I’m heading out now.

Don’t overdo it.

Wrap up your tasks quickly and take care of yourself, okay?”

Bella remained silent.

As Elizabeth passed Stella, she couldn’t resist a petty jab, attempting to bump into her.

But Stella, familiar with Elizabeth’s tactics, was prepared this time.

She sidestepped smoothly, dodging the collision effortlessly.

Elizabeth’s attempt fell short, leaving her momentarily off balance, stumbling as she continued on her way.

Elizabeth steadied herself, nearly falling down after her failed attempt to hurt Stella.

Anger surged through her, teeth clenching and eyes glaring.

Just as she was about to explode, she saw Bella’s stern frown.

Elizabeth fell silent.

Bella had been cold lately, and Elizabeth didn’t want to make things worse.

She swallowed her pride and anger.

“Just wait,” she mouthed to Stella, her lips moving without sound.

Then, she spun on her heel and walked away without looking back at Stella.

Stella, knowing she and Elizabeth were destined to be lifelong enemies, ignored the provocation.

Bella watched Elizabeth’s retreating figure for a long moment before turning to Stella.

Smiling warmly, she said, “Come in.

”

She led Stella into her study.

Stella leaned forward, her brows furrowed with concern.

“I came because I’ve been worried about you.

Did I inconvenience you?”

Bella shook her head, a soft smile touching her lips.

“No, not at all.

I’m glad you’re here.

”

Stella’s gaze softened, but worry lingered.

“How are you feeling today? Are you experiencing any discomfort at the moment?”
