Stella turned ghostly pale. She asked in a low voice, ‘’Is this Albert's intention?”
Hylda laughed, "My intentions are his intentions. Otherwise, why did he hand me his phone? Naturally, your father is still soft-hearted; he's willing to reconcile with you and pay for Rainee's medical expenses based on the prerequisite that you'll hand over all of the evidence you have and never bring up this matter. Don't tell me whatever you have is useless. Even if they are, do you think the Kane family wouldn't mind if you got your father in trouble? Would they still want you? Wake up. It's been many years since the matter, and your parents are divorced. What's the point of you constantly pursuing the matter? If you ask me, I say the matter ends here. Everyone will continue to live peacefully; you'll be the wife of a rich family, and your mother can continue her life support. What do you say?"
Hylda's tone was the most hated relative's tone when one went home for New Year's; it reeked of dignified condescension. Not only was her tone repulsive, but her words were also sickening.
Stella gritted her teeth.
"Dream on!” she said furiously.
Hylda shrugged, "Well, there’s no other choice then; you'll bear the medical expenses yourself. You're Mrs. Kane, so you probably have the money for this.”
Then, she hung up.
Marshall was waiting in the hospital lobby with a bag in hand. When he saw Stella walk over with a pale face, he went up.
"Are you done?"
Stella nodded and said, "Mr. Moore, Albert has stopped paying for my mother's medical expenses. The news about him getting a divorce is true; he's started a family with someone else, so I can't sue him for divorce anymore. I want to go to court on behalf of my mother and file for property redistribution.’’
Marshall frowned.
‘Don't panic and fall into disarray before the fight. I’ll get someone to find things out. Even if we redistribute property, we'll strive to maximize the benefits,” he said while handing Stella the bag he held.
He continued, "Just now, I asked the nurse in the hospital for an ice pack. Remember to ice your face in a bit. After this, I'll return to the firm and look up this matter properly. Stay at the hospital, and take care of your mom. Expect a call from me in the next two days."
Stella breathed a sigh of relief. She said softly through teary eyes, "Thank you."
Marshall saw the tears at the corner of her eyes and felt his heart tremble. Just as he lifted his hand, Vermont's voice sounded behind them.
‘Marshall, Stella, is everything done?"
Marshall bent his fingers and lowered his arm in a natural manner.
Stella nodded.
"Thank you so much for today, Mr. Snyder. I owe you a favor. Feel free to ask if there's anything I can help you with in the future."
Vermont smiled, "No worries. I'll pin the favor on Keegan."
Stella pursed her lips, "Keegan's Keegan, and I am me."
After hearing her words, Vermont immediately knew the two had gotten into a fight.
The incident about Sophia blew up. Vermont had vaguely heard about how the Vinci Rivera Group handled the matter, so it was not strange for them to fight.
‘They're a couple, so it wouldn't be normal if they don't get into fights,’ he thought.
He said teasingly, "The both of you are a family."
Then, he immediately changed the topic, "I've got something to do at my company, so I need to leave first. How about you, Marshall?’
‘I'll leave with you," Marshall said.
Before leaving, he told Stella, "If anything comes up at the hospital, you can contact Vermont or me."
Stella nodded and sent the two off from the hospital.
What happened during the day more or less affected Rainee; she started burning up at night.
Her body temperature was at 100.76°F. For normal people, a fever of this temperature would go down after a night's sleep.However, this temperature could be fatal for Rainee.
Since Rainee's body could not withstand too strong of drugs, the doctor recommended cooling her physically. Every hour, Stella wiped Rainee's body so that she would feel slightly better.
She and the caretaker took turns wiping Rainee's body up till midnight. Around two or three o'clock, Rainee’s body temperature finally dropped slightly.
The caretaker saw Stella's tiredness, so they told her to lie down and sleep.
Stella leaned back in the chair but did not feel sleepy. She took out her phone and tapped on Keegan's contact. She thought for a long time and called Keegan via WhatsApp.
