Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 242:

Stella stayed alone in her room for a while before the servants came in with RK’s private doctor.

“Miss Richard, how is your foot?” the doctor asked, but as soon as he saw Stella’s right foot, now even more swollen than before, he was stunned.

Stella curled her lips, unwilling to explain what had just happened.

However, the maid standing beside her quickly spoke up, “Miss Richard… she slipped accidentally,” Stella lied smoothly, unwilling to air her family’s dirty laundry. She didn’t want anyone to know how bad her relationship with Sophia truly was.

The doctor, though surprised, didn’t push further. “Miss Richard, I already told you not to put weight on your foot. Why are you moving around again? Now it’s even more swollen!” he said, concerned.

Stella remained silent, unable to shake the frustration building inside her. The tension between her and Sophia wasn’t new. They had never gotten along, even when Stella was part of the Richard family. But now, the animosity seemed to have worsened.

If something like this happened today, it could easily happen again.

Stella felt a deep sense of melancholy. If only her mother had been able to take her away from the Richard family, none of this would be happening. She wouldn’t have grown up alongside Isabella and Sophia, who only brought her misery.

There was an indescribable weight in Stella’s heart as she sighed heavily. She still didn’t know if marrying René Kingston, as David had forced her to, was a blessing or a curse.
