Chapter 206

Stella was weak when she was in Keegan’s arms. She softly said, “I’m fine, grandma. I just feel nauseous and dizzy. I feel like vomiting…” She then turned her head and covered her mouth as she retched.

Cordelia was very worried. “Okay, okay. Stop talking. Quick, call a doctor immediately.”

Irene reassured Cordelia as she said, “We’ve already called a doctor. Don’t worry.” She then methodically ordered Marshall, “Marshall, bring them to the lounge. The doctor will go over there and examine her.”

Marshall gave a response. He then turned his head to Keegan and said, “Follow me.”

Cordelia was still worried, “I’ll go with you.”

But, Irene softly said, “You shouldn’t go with them. She’s badly retching, and she can’t talk. The lounge isn’t big. So, the air circulation will be bad if there are many people in it. They can’t take good care of things if you’re too anxious.”

Cordelia calmed down. “You’re right.” She then turned her head to order Dahlia, “Call Baldwin and ask him to get an ambulance from the hospital so that Stella can be sent to the hospital immediately if anything happens.”

Right after Keegan and the others left, Albert rushed to them. He looked anxious and concerned. “Ms.

Cordelia, Dahlia, what happened to Stella? Why did she suddenly vomit?”

Cordelia was very concerned too. But, she still comforted Albert as she said, “Albert, don’t worry. We’ve already called a doctor. We’ll know what’s going on soon.’

The people in the crowd whispered, “The way she vomited kind of looked like me throwing up when I was pregnant. Is she pregnant?”

“It does look like it. Stella’s been married into the family for more than three years. I think it’s about time.”

“If she’s really pregnant, Ms. Cordelia must be very happy.”

“Didn’t you hear what Ms. Cordelia said just now? She said she’d buy Stella whatever she liked. She didn’t even pamper her two daughters-in-law this much. If she’s really pregnant and gives birth to a great-grandchild for the Kane family, Ms. Cordelia will treat her even better. She might even become the next mother of the house of the Kane family in the future…”

Dahlia clutched her hands. She looked unspeakably gloomy.

Mrs. Wood was listening to the conversation at the side. She suddenly had a thought. She smiled as she stepped forward and said, “Ms. Cordelia, it seems like everyone is congratulating you.”

Cordelia frowned worriedly. She thought about that too. But, everything happened too fast. She was not ready for what had happened, and she was not sure about that too.

So, she cautiously said, “Just let the doctor examine her. We don’t have to draw conclusions now.”

“She’s obviously pregnant. Both of us had given birth before. We can know that she’s pregnant just by looking at what happened to her. And, she retched so badly. She’s most probably pregnant with a baby boy. You can rest assured.”

Cordelia furrowed her eyebrows. “The Kane family doesn’t favor boys over girls. If Stella is really pregnant, we’ll treat the baby equally whether the baby is a boy or a girl.”

‘Equal treatment? None of these wealthy families can do that.’

Mrs. Wood thought Cordelia just did not want to be blunt in front of everyone. So, she smiled as she said, “You’re right. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, the baby is still the Kane family’s flesh and blood. It’s good news for the Kane family either way…”

Mrs. Chapman noticed that Dahlia was increasingly gloomy. She reminded the foolish woman, “Mrs.

Wood, it’s a big deal if the Kane family has a new bundle of joy. We should only talk about it after Stella has her check-up in the hospital.”

“It doesn’t matter whether she has her check-up or not. Look at how she vomited. She’s definitely pregnant. Mrs. Kane had wanted a grandchild for a long time. She finally gets what she wants now.

She should hold a banquet for this.”

Mrs. Chapman was speechless.

Dahlia just ignored her. She approached Cordelia and softly said, “Mother, Baldwin contacted the hospital. You should go get some rest. You’ve been standing for so long.”

Cordelia had joint replacement surgery. So, she could not stand for long periods. She did not say no when she heard what Dahlia said.

Immediately, everyone left the scene. Only Mrs. Wood stood still, staring into space.

It took her a second before she said, “Mrs. Chapman, why did Mrs. Kane seem unhappy?” Mrs.

Chapman faintly smiled and said, “If the Kane family has good news, of course, Mrs. Kane would be happy. So, it depends on whether it’s good news or not.”

Mrs. Wood was confused when she heard that. “Isn’t it good news that Stella is pregnant?”
