Chapter 2061

Finally, it was Alissa who stepped forward to clarify the situation.

“Miss Crawford lunged at Stella, causing her to fall,” she explained calmly.

The temperature in the corridor seemed to drop as Matthew’s gaze turned icy.

Joann felt the weight of his stare and began to tremble, hastily trying to defend herself.

“It wasn’t me.

I didn’t push Stella intentionally.

It was…”

She recalled that Lindsay had bumped into her, causing her to unintentionally collide with Stella.

But before she could name Lindsay, she was cut off.

Lindsay gently grasped Joann’s hand, her voice soothing as she said, “Joann was just a bit careless.

We certainly didn’t intend for this to happen.

Right now, what matters most is Stella’s and her baby’s well-being.

”

Matthew’s tone was firm and unyielding as he directed Fernando, “Get the surveillance video and find out who was responsible.

Send the culprit directly to the police station.

”

“Mr.

Clark…” Joann began, her voice faltering as she attempted to interject, but she was interrupted by the arrival of the doctor from the consulting room.

Matthew wasted no time, stepping up to inquire urgently, “Doctor, how is my wife?”

The doctor, looking slightly puzzled by the tense atmosphere, replied with a calm professionalism, “She’s fine.

She sustained some bruises, but the wounds have been treated.

”

At this, Bella and Alissa let out simultaneous sighs of relief, their tension easing.

“That’s good,” they echoed.

Joann, too, felt a weight lift from her shoulders, grateful for Stella’s relative safety.

For a moment, everyone was happy.

However, Lindsay’s expression darkened, her anxiety barely concealed as her nails dug into her palms.

Stella was bleeding.

How could everything be okay?

If Stella and the baby were fine, then was today’s risk all for nothing?

Bella gathered herself to ask a crucial question.

“But, doctor, did Stella’s fall have any impact on the baby?”

The doctor looked genuinely confused at the question.

“Baby? What baby? She’s not pregnant.

”

A stunned silence fell over the corridor, everyone shocked by the revelation.

Bella’s expression tightened with concern.

“Not pregnant? But there’s blood on her clothes,” she asserted.

Then, realization dawned on her when she noticed the doctor’s hesitation to speak.

A heavy silence enveloped the group, broken only when the doctor cleared his throat and tried to clarify.

“She only suffered a minor bruise, nothing grave.

And to be clear, she’s not pregnant-there was no miscarriage.

”

As Waldo and Lucia hurried over, the doctor’s words hung in the air, leaving them momentarily dazed.

“Not pregnant?” Lucia’s voice was a whisper of disbelief, struggling to align this new information.

“Then what about the pregnancy test we saw last time?”

Waldo, equally perplexed, echoed her confusion.

“Can someone tell me what’s actually happening here?”
