In her eyes, if that family had truly raised Stella well, she would’ve turned out just like Lillian–gentle and soft–spoken. Not like the way she was now; a crazy woman.
Say one word to her, and she’d fire back with ten… What made it worse was that she even got physical.
Thinking that the family might’ve mistreated Stella made her, as the biological mother, feel a pang of guilt deep down.
But every time Stella made her angry, she couldn’t help but regret bringing her back.
Lillian said, “It’s okay, mom. You could spend more time with her. I’m fine.
“You’re the thoughtful one, sigh…”
She felt torn for both of them. Over the past few days, Susan had been avoiding Stella; she’d done a lot of thinking.
Patrick had a point–after all, she hadn’t raised Stella herself. If she came at her all high and mighty, Stella definitely wouldn’t take it well.
Forget it. Everything could wait until Lillian’s health got better.
“Ah!”
Lost in thought, Susan was yanked back to reality when Lillian suddenly screamed in pain and curled up on the hospital bed, clutching her stomach.
Startled, Susan rushed over in a panic. “Lillian, what’s wrong?”
“It hurts. It hurts s so bad.”
“Doctor! Doctor!” Seeing Lillian’s face turn completely pale, Susan shouted for help, flustered.
The doctor came quickly, and then the whole room descended into chaos
Susan stood helplessly outside the hospital room, her heart twisting as doctors came and went. Lillian’s cries of pain echoed from inside; it was unbearable.
An hour passed, the two specialists who had previously spoken to Susan brought up Eddie and Rianne again.
“If we want to save Ms. Lillian’s uterus, we need Dr. Rianne back as soon as possible.”
Susan’s heart leapt to her throat. Of course, the uterus had to be saved.
Ethan’s feelings for Lillian were obvious; they were bound to end up together.
The Keene family already didn’t like Lillian much–if she couldn’t bear a child for them…
Even if Ethan adored her, things could get rocky in the future.
Thinking that, Susan almost couldn’t breathe. “Yes, of course–do whatever it takes!”
No matter what, that uterus had to b be saved.
“Then Dr. Rianne must return as soon as possible.”
“Dr. Eddie, too,” one of the senior professors added.
Susan felt her chest tighten. Eddie, Rianne Why does it all have to go through Stellat

So in the end, it all come back to Stella.
Meanwhile, on Stella’s side….
+8 Pearls
Tessa came over around lunchtime, saying they should eat together. But really, she was just there to gossip: Rivermount had been buzzing nonstop these days.
Especially with how the Keene family was reacting to Lillian, and all the things the Reed family and Ethan were doing for her.
“That Lillian really is like some reincarnated saintly angel,” Tessa said.
Stella smirked. “An angel who’s bound to lose her halo real soon.”
Rianne had said Lillian wasn’t faking her illness; she’d personally been involved in the diagnosis.
At first, Stella thought she was just pretending to be sick.
Tessa scoffed, “It’s karma, plain and simple.”
Short life–it really was karma.
Stella replied. “Exactly. Anyway, what do you want for lunch?”
cool?”
Tessa said, “Let’s have some soup, co
“Nope.
If she forced herself to eat that, Abraham would nag her all night. Besides, he’d already promised to have the kitchen make it for her tonight.
She’d sent him a message earlier when she saw Tessa come in, saying she’d be eating with her.
And Abraham’s reply was telling her not to have any soup outside.
Even through the screen, she could feel how firm he was being.
Tessa let out a hiss. “Is your brother obsessed with you or something? He’s so strict
“He can be even stricter.”
“Who else?”
“My sister!”
Tessa’s mouth witched. “You have a sister in that family too?”
Stella nodded. “Yep.”
She had a sister tiere–Marie.
She missed her Badly.
These past few years, she had missed everyone from the Qiao family.
Always quietly watching for any news about them, never letting her guard down.
Tessa said, “You really had a good life with that family, huh.”
Compared to the Reed family–ever since they found Stella, Lillian had stirred up so much trouble,
