Chapter 151: Do You Have to Talk to Me Like That?

Stella basically knew the reason when she saw that, if it was not because of that bastard’s order, what
else could it be? She then said, “Never mind, thank you.” She lied on the bed and closed her eyes.
Outside the ward, Nathan asked, “Aren’t you going in, Mr. Conrad?”

Clarence retrieved his eyes and replied coldly, “For what? To let her shout at my face?” Nathan
whispered, “Missus only said that due to anger, when her health and mood have improved, Mr. Conrad
would be able to…” Clarence only said, “Who else came today?”

“Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Justin Conrad came, also Miss Steward, but none of them could go in.” Ever
since Stella was carried out of the operation room, they had sent men to completely take over the
hospital and no one from the Conrad’s could gain entrance. Dempsey was mad when he was blocked
from entering, yet since there were many people at the hospital, he could not lose his temper and could
only return.

Clarence sat on the bench outside the ward and spoke blandly, “He must really be anxious to know the
situation inside here now.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Conrad, I got it covered.” Clarence spoke, “Tell him the news, and let him give up.”

“Yes, sir.”

Yet according to Dempsey’s suspicious personality, he might not believe it that easily. They still needed
full preparation. Clarence received a call from his subordinate the moment Nathan left. “Mr. Conrad,
someone’s intruded in…”

Clarence was not surprised at all and he replied, “I get it.” The moment he finished, a series of quick
footsteps was heard along the corridor. Horace showed up before him the next second. Seeing
Clarence, he rushed towards him and landed a punch straight on his face with burning eyes. “Clarence
Conrad, so this is how you take care of her?”



No expression could be seen from Clarence’s face. He only raised his hand, wiped the blood from the
corner of his mouth and looked up at him. “You’re nowhere better than me.” Horace was so angry that
he smiled. “Yes, I am nowhere better than you. If I’ve given her more care back then, she would not
marry you and suffer all these ordeals!”

Sherry who finally caught up on him from behind felt her head almost exploded. She whispered and
suggested, “Do you guys want to talk at other place? I think she could hear your conversation from the
inside.” Having heard that, Horace regained his rationality and composure. He took a deep breath,
ignored Clarence and looked towards the ward.

Stella was still maintaining the same posture and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Sherry opened the
door and walked in, standing next to her bed. “Stella.” Hearing her voice, Stella opened her eyes.
Sherry went around the bed and walked towards the window. She sat on the edge of her bed. Looking
at her pale face, she could not say anything to console her, and the rim of her eyes started to become
red.

Stella smiled at her. “Why are you crying? I’m fine, and I’ll get discharged few days later.” Sherry sniffed
and wiped her tears. “I know. Do have a rest, I’ll stay here by your side.” Stella let out a soft grunt and
asked, “How did you know I’m here?”

“I didn’t manage to contact you and I was lost, so I looked for Horace. He brought me here…” Stella
kept quiet. “What about Chan? Does he know?”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t tell him anything.”

“Sherry, say thank you to Horace for me. I want to sleep now.”

“Alright.”



Horace was standing right at the entrance and he heard Stella’s words. He nodded at Sherry and
closed the door for them. Clarence was still sitting there outside the door and he did not intend to leave.
Horace glimpsed at him and lowered his voice. “Since you’re going to get married soon, I hope you
could leave her alone from now onwards.” After finished, he let out a self-deprecating smile, “Of course,
me too.”

That was also the reason why he only stood at the entrance today. He knew it would never be possible
between them anymore. He could no longer take one more step forward and he did not dare to have
any high hopes anymore. After finished, without glimpsing at Clarence anymore, he turned around and
left. Clarence pursed his lips and he slowly clenched his fists on his knees.

In the ward, after sitting for a while, Sherry knew Stella did not fall asleep. She then asked softly,
“Stella, do you need some water?” Stella only replied after a few seconds, “No, thanks.”

“Hmm…then are you hungry? I’ll ask the doctor to see what you could eat.” Stella slowly opened her
eyes and said, “Sherry.” Sherry approached her. “Yes?” Stella was looking listless. “I’m okay, you can
go home now.”

“I think I should still stay by your side, I would still worry if I go back, seeing you like this.” Stella smiled
and looked at her. “I’m fine, really. I’ll be able to get discharged after a few days.” No matter what she
said, Sherry would disagree. Stella did not continue in the end, she only said, “Sherry, please have a
look at Adolph Miller for me at the ICU.”

“Adolph Hiller?” Sherry suddenly recalled that name and she exclaimed. “He’s the one who helped
Modesty Parker…” Stella nodded. “He initially wanted to kidnap me, but unexpectedly, he saved me
too.” Since Joanna Conrad already planned to kill her, she would not just do something to the car only.
If she really did go down the hills along that road, she would not know what else was waiting for her
afterwards.



Sherry thought for a while. “Alright, I’ll be right back.” She also wanted to ask the doctor regarding
Stella’s situation. After she left, Stella sat up and put her hand on her abdomen, looking through the
window with her eyes glazing over. The weather seemed to turn cold and it was drizzling. The room
was stuffy.

Not knowing how long had passed, the door of the ward was pushed open. Stella thought Sherry had
returned. As she was going to turn around and talk to her, she noticed the one standing at the entrance
was Clarence. She was not provoked, and she smiled instead. “Why, has Mr. Conrad made a
decision?”

Clarence looked at her silently and closed the door without uttering a word. Stella retrieved her eyes
and looked into space. Clarence stood beside her and said calmly, “Stella, I hope you understand it’s
not because of me that the child’s gone. I’ve reminded you not to trust anyone from the Conrad’s.”

“I know, you did mention, and I should face the consequence of my action, shouldn’t I?” Stella looked
calm. “Since the situation has become like this, I think Mr. Conrad need not come here and mock me
anymore.” Clarence was deeply enraged and disappointed. He only spoke after taking a breath. “Do
you must talk to me like that?” Stella looked at him and only felt amused. “If you don’t want to listen to
me, you can leave.”
