Moreover, she had a fever before this, and she had taken heavy doses of medicine then. She was afraid that she couldn’t keep the child.
Thinking that she was about to lose a child again, a sense of deepest grief surged in the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps it was God’s plan. However, she felt that something was amiss. She had been lying in the hospital for a week, and the doctor did not realize that she was pregnant at all. After she was discharged, she only spent a few days with Jasper. It was too early to judge that she was pregnant.
She had to go to the hospital first to check out what was going on.
Stella Grace stayed at Sean’s place and had breakfast together.
He would look at her occasionally from time to time, but no one could tell what he was thinking. It seemed as though he had something to say, but it seemed that he kept holding them back in the end and continued eating instead.
Although Stella did not look at him, she noticed all his actions.
Since he didn’t speak, she would not ask him about it either. After all, her relationship with Sean was rather complicated.
He saved her life before and she was his beloved woman’s friend. They both hurt the woman he loved. However, she wanted to cooperate with him now for her own personal reasons.
After breakfast, Stella looked at Sean and said, “If Frederick asks me about my identity again, I will say that I am your subordinate. I hope that you would not expose my true identity.”
“The war had not even begun yet, but here you are, trying to destroy the relationship between me and Christian,” Sean Yaleman leaned on the chair lazily and looked at her with his eyes drooped.
“Don’t you want to give a little warning to Christian? Besides, you can deny it if you happened to see Christian.
Frederick is not stupid. He is the one who is sandwiched between you and Christian. He knows what he should say and what he shouldn’t.
Besides, the conflict between him and Jasper is much more than complicated than that between him and you. What you need to consider is not trust, but personal interests. Frederick is so smart that he won’t do anything harmful to himself,” Stella said firmly.
“I think that I shouldn’t give you a position in the Cabinet, but to appoint you as the country’s diplomat instead. You’re such a good negotiator. Your thoughts are clear and your deduction skills are spectacular. It’s a waste of your talent.”
Stella suddenly remembered what Master Olgic once said to her. He said that she was a person who could make great achievements by talking, but her way up will be stained with blood.
It seemed that he was right.
He also said that she was destined to kill, and if she couldn’t deal with it properly, she would suffer herself.
From that moment on, she started to believe in Master Olgic’s words.
Stella smiled slightly and said, “It’s not contradictory to be a diplomat and work in the Cabinet at the same time. Perhaps it will seem more natural if I enter the Cabinet as a diplomat. Am I right?”
Sean tapped on the table and smiled, “Perhaps I could arrange that.”
“Call me after you have made the necessary arrangements. I should go now,” Stella nodded and turned around.
Sean stood up and frowned slightly, “Do you really not know Eli’s current whereabouts?”
Stella stopped and looked at the big tree under the sun outside. The sunshine shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming mottled spots on the ground.
Every flower and tree had their own fate, just like humans, who would have their own destinies to fulfill.
“If you two are destined to meet, you will meet her again one day. If not, even if you forced it, it wouldn’t change a thing,” Stella said meaningfully.
Sean looked at Stella’s back quietly.
With his current state, if he found her, he might end up dragging her into the mess. He had to wait for another two years. Just two more years…
Stella then left Sean’s place.
His yard was very secluded. It was surrounded by trees and it was scarcely populated. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass. One would feel relaxed and refreshing just by taking a deep breath.
She thought of going to the hospital for a check-up. However, would anyone from the Dark Shadow be following her?
Stella looked around subconsciously but saw no one.
Before she walked out of the door, a car stopped in front of her.
The driver got out of the car, opened the door, and said respectfully, “The Master has asked me to give you a lift.”
“Thank you,” Stella got in the car, “Please send me to the hospital.”
She did the examination. Her HCG level was high, but her progesterone level was normal. She was not pregnant.
All the hormone drugs that she had taken in the past might have led to this inaccurate data.
Stella came out of the hospital and went to a hotel in A City. She checked into her room and lay in bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
She still had to go to Jasper’s villa to get her luggage, and she wanted to bring Apollo with her. After all, it was her dog. However, she might not be able to take care of Apollo if she brought it with her, as she would be very busy in the future. This was also a problem.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
She got up and walked toward the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw that it was Frederick Addington.
She had expected that he would come to meet her.
Stella opened the door.
Frederick walked into her room.
Stella closed the door behind her calmly.
“Tell me everything you know,” Frederick went straight to the point.
“Do you want a drink?” Stella walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine from it, and opened it.
Frederick frowned. He took the bottle in her hand, took two wine glass, poured the wine, and handed one of the glasses to her, “I want to know everything about Stella. She’s still alive, isn’t she? My experiment failed. How did she survive?”
Stella took the wine handed over by Frederick, took a sip, and said, “Sean rescued her and kidnapped the professor in your lab. He then hired foreign experts and managed to save her. Now, Stella is gone, so is Eli.”
“What about you? What role are you playing?” Frederick suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Stella’s lips curled. “I work for Sean. Why else do you think that he had looked for me?”
“It’s impossible. You exposed the truth this time. It’s good for Jasper, but not for anyone else,” Frederick did not believe it. He realized that Stella was lying to him. His eyes became sharper, bursting with a murderous look.
Stella took another sip of wine and swallowed it slowly. She leaned against the bar counter, shook the glass, and said calmly, “Nothing is impossible.
After Sean and Eli were exposed, what did Christian do?
You tried to kill Jasper without telling Sean. You leaked Hale’s whereabouts to Anthony on purpose so that you could get rid of Jasper.
Christian tried to kill Jasper without Sean’s permission. Why? Because he wanted to become the President too.
I did this for two reasons. One is to suppress Christian, and the other is to use Jasper. What’s not good about that? It doesn’t affect the relationship between Sean and Christian on the surface.”
“You’re wrong. It’s not Christian who plotted against Jasper. It’s Zoahs,” Frederick said in a low voice.
Stella looked at Frederick with a strange look in her eyes.
In the world, there was really no eternal friend nor enemy.
Back then, the Davis Family had a good relationship with the Milton Family. Now, in order to become President and to get rid of the dissidents, Zoahs actually began to plot against Jasper.
