Chapter 214

Stella put on her coat and said with a smile, “Actually, I have nothing to do in these two weeks. You can contact me any time when you need me to be on set.”

In order to thank Stella, Lena wanted to invite her for dinner after the shooting had ended.

However, Stella politely declined it.

Although she came to offer her help, in the end, it was for her own sake. Besides, she and Lena were only acquaintances. She was afraid that it would become awkward when they dined together.

Stella dropped Shea off at Shea’s place before driving to Cordelia’s.

The closer she got to Cordelia’s home, the more uncertain and nervous she became.

She had been a part of the Kane family for many years, but without Cordelia’s support, there would be no place for her in that family.

But now, she had let Cordelia down. Cordelia was the one who had always been there for her. Stella was so disappointed in herself that she could not even find the courage to apologize.

Dahlia had been pressing Stella to have children to solidify the family’s position, but Cordelia loved children and was hurt the most by this kind of deceit.

Stella’s car stopped near Cordelia’s home for a long time. But, eventually, it turned around and left.

Inside Cordelia’s house, Baldwin knocked on the door and came in. “Madam, Young Madam has left.”

Cordelia paused with a chess piece in her hand before she said, “She has the guts to fake her illness but not the courage to apologize.”

Baldwin smiled and said, “You knew everything, but you still wanted her to draw a number on stage. If she didn’t, you’d lose face, and if she did, she’d end up on your bad side. She didn’t want to offend you in any way, so she had to fake being sick. You almost fell for it, didn’t you?”

Cordelia snorted. “I was just worried that she didn’t even know she was pregnant. I never expected her to deceive me by secretly using contraception! When I took her out, I wanted to show people her status in the Kane family. With my support, what could she possibly be afraid of?”

At that moment, Corrin, who had just come in with a yogurt dessert, could not help but laugh when she heard that. “You’re not scared of Dahlia because she’s your daughter-in-law. But, for Stella, Dahlia is her mother-in-law, and she doesn’t want to offend her. After all, she still cares about Young Master’s feelings.”

Cordelia sighed. “Dahlia may have ambition, but her vision is narrow, and she lacks patience. Stella, on the other hand, is young and inexperienced. But, she has the resilience and intelligence to grow into her role. My health is deteriorating. If something were to happen to me, I fear that those people would tear Keegan apart and leave him with nothing.”

Baldwin softly said, “Madam, you’re overthinking it. Quentin and Chandler are your sons. Things won’t come to that point.”

Cordelia smiled and said nothing more. She gestured to Baldwin as she said, “Put chess set. I think it’s about time for me to hit the hay.”

away the After Stella went down the mountain road, she drove around the South of Rivera City Route 3 Loop and finally went to Rotona Pinnacle Hospital.

Rainee’s condition remained the same. Although she had shown a response to opera music the other day, there had been no other movement for many days since then.

Despite the caretaker’s efforts to play all the tapes as requested by Stella, Rainee remained unresponsive except for a few instances when her heart rate fluctuated upon hearing some of the tapes.

The caretaker played the tapes in order, but unfortunately, Rainee did not show any other response.

Stella was not disappointed to hear that, as the probability of a vegetative person waking up was very low. Miracles would not happen that easily, after all.

She went through the tapes that the caretaker had selected, which included “Yana Zoloto”,” Lady Yvette”, “Adieu, Milady”, and other songs that Rainee liked to listen to when she was healthy. There were a total of six tapes.

Stella studied the tapes for a long time, but she could not find any common thread between them. The songs were unrelated and not from the same composer.

Suddenly, the caretaker called out, “Stella, could you help me figure out how to download this thing?

My son asked me to sign up and send him a screenshot, but I can’t seem to get it right.

have any idea what I might be doing wrong?”

Do you Stella came to her senses. She put the tapes on the table before she got up and walked over. Let me have a look.”

After taking a look, she said, “Looks like your phone’s storage is full. Try deleting some of the files you don’t use very often to free up some space.”

‘How do you delete stuff on this thing? I’m not very tech-savvy.”

“Sure, let me help you with that.”

that As Stella began to clear some space on the phone, the caretaker got up to pour her a glass of water.

But, when she put it on the table, she accidentally bumped into the stack of tapes Stella had just sorted out.
