Clarence replied with a nasal sound. He withdrew his hand and glanced at the black car that had been
distorted in the car accident.
He asked in a cold voice, “Who’s the owner of this car?”
“We’re still investigating it.” Nathan added, “But it seems like several parties have involved in this
tonight, including the Steward family. But the Steward family didn’t involve in this car accident. I guess
they just want to take Mrs. Conrad away.”
Nathan paused before adding, “Originally Master Conrad arranged his men to take Mrs. Conrad away
tonight and our men had been watching them. Nevertheless, just as they had gone downstairs, some
accidents happened and our men were obstructed. When they arrived there, they found Master
Conrad’s men lying on the ground and Mrs. Conrad was taken away by the other party. As for who had
taken her away, I…”
Clarence strode into the hospital with a cold face, “She’s the only suspect.”
Nathan knew who Clarence was mentioning. He didn’t say anything else and simply followed behind
him.
The operation lasted for ten more hours.
Clarence had been waiting outside the operation room.
Phoebe, who was standing at a corner, secretly bit her lower lip when seeing Clarence sitting on the
bench with a pair of bloody hands. She took a step backwards and fixed her eyes on the light above
the door of the operation room.
If Stella came out of the operation room safely, what should she do?
Even though Clarence had agreed to marry her, he had never regarded her as his wife. She was like
an object for benefit exchanges and he had no feelings for her.
He had fallen for that woman unknowingly.
Phoebe took a deep breath, turned around and left.
She would not let go of this easily. She would get the due respect as Clarence’s wife one day.
…
When Stella woke up, she saw a sea of white color in a trance.
She struggled to open her eyes and only gained the focus of her vision after a long while.
Then she smelled the disinfectant fluid and heard the tick-tock of the equipment aside.
Stella slowly came back to reality after being in a trance for a long while. She suddenly remembered
something and put her hand on her belly.
But her budging belly was smooth now and there was only a thick layer of gauze.
Stella suddenly gained some strength. She struggled to sit up and plucked out the needle tubing. She
wanted to get off the bed.
Right at this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and Clarence showed up.
His expression changed slightly when he saw this. He walked to her in strides, put his hands on her
shoulders and pressed her back to the bed, “Are you seeking death?”
When speaking, he pressed on the nursing bell near the head of the bed.
Stella looked up at him. Her face was ghastly and her eyes were unprecedentedly empty, “Clarence,
where’s my child?”
Clarence looked sideways and replied in a calm voice, “It’s gone.”
Stella fixed her eyes on her and asked stubbornly, “What do you mean?”
Clarence didn’t reply.
Stella grabbed his arm and said in a husky and despairing voice, “Tell me, what do you mean? You
promised me that it will be given birth. You promised that you won’t hurt it… You promised those things.
“Enough.” Clarence hugged her, trying to console her, “Calm down please.”
Stella slowly stopped struggling. It seemed like no matter what she did now, it was useless.
After a while, her calm and indifferent voice sounded, “Clarence, you finally attain your wish. Are you
happy now?”
Clarence froze and tensed up his body. He asked in a cold voice, “This is how you think of me?”
“Am I wrong?”
Stella pushed him away. She suddenly chuckled, “Ever since you learned about my pregnancy, you’ve
tried every possible means to get rid of this child. To achieve your goal, you even gave me half of your
inheritance from the Conrad Group. But now, everything comes to an end. And you don’t need to worry
that your position would be threatened by an unborn child.
Clarence’s face looked extremely hideous, “Stella, I know you’re very sad now and I can forgive you.
Have a good rest.”
“Oh, I don’t want your forgiveness, Mr. Conrad. I don’t want to live anymore.” She paused and then
added, “By the way, Mr. Conrad, does your fiancée know that you’re here? When a man and a woman
stay in the same room alone, it will easily cause misunderstandings. Mr. Conrad, please leave here.
Even if you want to get rid of me, please send the other man to do this.”
“Stella Radomil!”
He squeezed out her name from between his gritted teeth.
Stella seemed to have lost all her strength and she didn’t want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She
turned her back to him and didn’t say any word again.
Looking at her back, Clarence clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to say something, yet in the end, he
only pressed his thin lips together, turned around, and left.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Stella couldn’t control her tears anymore. Big tears streamed
down her face uncontrollably.
Her oppressive cry sounded in the empty ward.
She had been so carefully over the past seven months and all she wanted was just the child in her
belly.
Even so, they still didn’t want to let go of her. Everyone regarded her as a tool that was pregnant with a
child and they could play every wicked trick on this child.
No one had thought of this – that she was also a living person.
She had been tolerant enough, but she still failed to protect her child.
It was just like what happened three years ago.
But the reality proved to her again that she was so useless.
She was powerless, so she could only live at the mercy of those powerful people.
Stella closed her eyes and tears fall onto the pillow.
After a short while, a nurse came in to have an intravenous drip for Stella again. She exhorted her,
“Your situation is so serious, so you should behave yourself. It’s such a big accident and you’re still
under observation.”
Stella looked out of the windows dully. She didn’t reply.
The nurse continued, “It was very dangerous and only one of you and your child could be saved. Your
husband chose to save you without a second thought. He loves you so much. Moreover, you’re still
young and you will have another child in the future.”
Stella said, “He’s not my husband.”
The nurse hadn’t expected such an answer. She was stunned and then asked, “Boyfriend?”
“Neither.”
The sensible nurse didn’t probe into it.
After a while of silence, Stella asked, “What about the man who was in the same car with me before?
How’s he?”
“He was seriously injured and is now in the intensive care unit.”
Stella nodded her head, “Thank you.”
She hadn’t expected that in the end, it was Adolph who saved her.
What a coincidence!
Before leaving, the nurse exhorted her again, “Don’t pluck it out again. If you have any needs, just
press the bell. I will be outside.”
Stella replied, “Okay.”
The nurse turned around. Stella suddenly asked, “Can you please lend me your phone. I want to tell
my friends that I’m safe now.”
“Erm…” The nurse hesitated.
