Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 146

Ursula sighed, "Alright, Mom. Really, you should spend more time with her. It's okay with me."

"You're always so understanding."

Lately, having been avoiding Stella, Cloudia had thought some things through.

Blaise was right. After all, Stella wasn't by her side as she grew up. If she approached the situation with a lecturing tone, Stella would definitely resist. Well, everything would have to wait until Ursula got better.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Ursula screamed in pain, doubling over and clutching her stomach on the hospital bed.

Cloudia was immediately snapped out of her reverie.

Seeing Ursula in such agony, she panicked, "Ursula, what's wrong?"

"It hurts...so much."

"Doctor! Doctor!"

Ursula's complexion had turned ghostly pale, and Cloudia frantically called for medical assistance.

The doctor arrived swiftly, and the hospital room turned into a scene of chaos.

Cloudia stood outside the room, her heart in knots as she watched doctors rush in and out, Ursula's cries of pain echoing from within. Her heart ached unbearably.

An hour later two specialists reached to Cloudia and mentioned Finley and Tegan again.

"To save Ms. Larkin's uterus, we need Tegan back as soon as possible."

Cloudia felt her heart leap to her throat. Ursula's uterus, of course, had to be preserved.

Considering Yorick's feelings for her, they were bound to end up together. The Quarry family had never been fond of Ursula, and if she couldn't bear children for them... Even though Yorick adored her, trouble would loom in their future. With that thought, Cloudia choked out, "We must...we must save it!"

No matter what, Ursula's uterus had to be preserved.

"Then we need to get Tegan back immediately."

"Finley must join the effort too!" the senior professor added.

Cloudia felt her heart being squeezed tight.

Finley, Tegan...

Why did it all have to depend on Stella?

They had tried various ways to get the two back over the past few days. But no matter what they offered, neither of them seemed interested.

So, it all came back to Stella's involvement!

...

Over at Stella's place.

Susanna came over, suggesting they have lunch together, but really, she was there to gossip. Portis City had been buzzing with drama, especially concerning the Quarry family's reaction to Ursula and what the Larkin family, along with Yorick,

wanted to do for her.

"Ursula's seriously a fake angle."

Stella chuckled, "More like a doomed one."

Tegan had confirmed Ursula's illness wasn't fake, having been part of the medical examination herself. Initially, Stella had thought Ursula was feigning her condition!

Susanna snorted, "Well, that's her karma!"

A doomed fate, indeed, was karma.

Stella mused, "Exactly. So, what do you feel like eating for lunch?"

Susanna suggested, "How about hot wings? Sounds good?"

Stella shot it down, "No way!"

If she went ahead with that, she'd never hear the end of it from Ronald.

Besides, Ronald had already

promised to have the family chef

prepare it for her that evening.

When Susanna had arrived, Stella had already messaged Ronald about their lunch plans, and his response was clear, "No hot wings outside!"

Even through the screen, she could sense his determined attitude.

Susanna grimaced, "Is your brother some kind of overprotective guardian? He's so strict with you."

"There's someone even stricter."

"Who?"

"My sister!"

Susanna's mouth twitched, "You have a sister in that household?"

Stella nodded, "Yes."

And in that household, she also had a sister, Yvonne Quinn.

Oh, how she missed her.
