Stella reached out and gently shoved Horace to aside. She started to explain after laughing dryly, “Nothing is going on here. He is an old friend of mine, and we are just shooting the breeze. If there’s nothing concerning me here, I think I should make a break for it.”

Stella was only able to take a few steps before her wrist was grabbed by someone.

She was very reactive as she immediately feigned vomiting.

That hand immediately retrieved itself.

Stella had escaped in an unbelievably fast speed.

In the car, Sherry was enjoying music with her eyes closed, and suddenly the car door was opened, “That didn’t take very long! I thought you guys are going to go at it for a while.”

Stella said tiredly, “Don’t mention it. Annie is his acquaintance too, and Clarence came to the scene too. Luckily, I am able to flee in the nick of time, or else I think my life would end there.”

Sherry frowned deeply, “Annie? Are you talking about that Annie…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Stella nodded to affirm that she understood Sherry’s unspoken words.

“When that incident happened, didn’t she run to another country first thing first? I can’t believe that she has the guts to come back here. Aren’t she afraid of karma?”

Stella made a vomiting gesture at this point, and she quickly produced a plum and swallowed it, “Sherry, let’s go to the hospital.”

“Have you… thought about this thoroughly?”

After doing a check-up for Stella, he announced, “Your vitals are fine. You are having such intense morning sickness because of your own health. You should eat healthier and also walk around more, that would help ease your condition.”

Stella nodded, and then doctor continued, “Nothing else is wrong. You can come for a pregnancy check-up and update your profile when twelve weeks are up.”

“I got it. Thank you.”

After exiting the doctor’s office, Sherry hurried over and asked, “Stella, what’s the verdict?”

“The doctor said that everything is fine with me.”

Sherry heaved a sigh of relief, and all of a sudden she realized that she wasn’t asking about that. However, seeing that Stella didn’t look like she was in great health, she didn’t probe further, “Then, let’s get back.”

While they were on the way back, Sherry received a call from the magazine that informed her of the news of the sales volume reaching the millionth mark. The caller said that Mr. Leif had declared that Stella would be the central attraction at the celebration party later on at night. He was asking about her whereabouts now.

Sherry replied, “She is feeling a little unwell, so I have sent her home. Pass on the word to Mr. Leif that we are not going to the celebration party anymore.”

After hanging up the phone, Sherry turned her attention to Stella, “Stella, are you alright?”

Stella was leaning against the car window in deep thought, but she couldn’t be seen through.copy right hot novel pub
