Chapter 208

“My uncle hasn’t gotten my grandfather’s blessing. So, we aren’t very close to him. We rarely have the chance to talk.”

‘After such a big fuss, I just got to know that his uncle still hasn’t officially become their family member.

Looks like I can’t find out anything from here,’ Stella thought.

“How could you still have the mood to talk about all these?” Keegan was angry when he saw how gentle Stella was to Marshall. “The doctor will be here soon. You should think about how to cover up your lie.”

Stella said, “Why do I need to cover up my lie? I didn’t say I was pregnant. Everyone just imagined it. I can just tell the doctor that I had an upset stomach.”

“Do you think that the doctor is stupid?”

“At worst, we can just bribe him. Money talks.”

The corners of Keegan’s eyes twitched. ‘What kind of moral values does she uphold?’

Marshall smiled as he said, “You don’t have to do that. The doctor is my friend. I’ll talk to him about it later. He’ll play ball with us.”

Stella smiled with curved eyes. “Mr. Moore, that’s so nice of you.”

Keegan suddenly felt that his molar was itchy. He could not help but touch it with his tongue.

Cordelia and the others were waiting outside the lounge. The doctor came out after a short while.

Albert worriedly asked, “Doctor, how’s my daughter?”

The doctor said, “Don’t worry. She just has mild food poisoning.”

Everyone there had different looks after hearing that.

Cordelia froze for a moment. Before she could speak, Albert anxiously said, “Food poisoning? Isn’t she pregnant?

“She isn’t pregnant. Her pulse isn’t the pulse of a pregnant lady. If you guys don’t believe me, you can bring her to the hospital for a check-up.”

The Moore family’s private doctor would not be wrong about that.

Cordelia immediately looked disappointed. But, she still asked, “Is her food poisoning serious? Will it affect her body badly?”

“Her symptoms were relatively mild. I already gave her some medicine. If she takes the medicines on time, she’ll be fine after she rests for two days.”

Aurora curled her lips. ‘She gave me a shock. I thought she was pregnant. She’s still a woman who can’t get pregnant after all.’

Cordelia sighed. She could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Dahlia softly said, “Mother, don’t be too sad. You can’t rush these things. Stella’s health is the most important thing right now. Let’s go in and see her.”

Cordelia nodded. She turned her head to talk to Albert. “Albert, go in and see her with us.”

Albert’s enthusiasm faded right after he knew that Stella was not pregnant. When he heard Cordelia speak to him, he hurriedly said, “She’s quite sick right now. She probably can’t talk. I’ll visit her alone another day.”

Cordelia just remained silent.

After they went in, Hylda, who had been following them finally showed herself.

“So? She repeatedly stopped the Kane family from bidding. Do you still dare to say that your good daughter didn’t do that on purpose? She didn’t intend to help from the beginning. I think she was lying to you when she said that the bracelet can be returned.”

Albert remained silent with a sullen face.

“Albert, I suspect that she might know some of the things that happened back then.”

“Impossible!” Albert immediately denied it. “Everything back then was destroyed. What could she possibly know?”

“I hope she knows nothing too. But Albert, we must take sound precautions. You can’t trust her too much.”

Albert’s face was gloomy. He said after he paused for a while, “I know what to do.”
