Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 116 The Death of Him

Julia knew that Miles would definitely not agree to her going to Murdough, but she was her own woman and he couldn’t stop her from going where she wanted to go.

When Stella’s cell phone was charged to thirty percent, she received a call from Janice, saying that she still had one more session to go for her treatment. Back then when she was in Hollowcrest, she could retrieve the medicine herself, but Dr. Thane wanted to have her medicine delivered to her now that she wasn’t there, so he instructed Janice to get her address.

Dr. Thane was the gynecologist responsible for Stella’s prescription. The last time she visited a traditional doctor was to treat her colds and shivers. At that time, she wasn’t experiencing any abdominal pain yet.

Just as she was about to answer her, the nurse called out, “Time for Stella Johansson to have a change of azithromycin!”

Lifting her gaze, Stella saw that the drip above her head was finished. Thankfully, the nurse had realized it and informed the other nurse at the nurse station who was responsible for changing her medication.

“What happened to you, Stella?” Janice asked. Then, Stella told her about her cervicitis.

“Then you should take good care of yourself and use this opportunity to get everything treated. The selfish guy who wanted you to have the abortion really deserves death for causing you so much ailments!” Janice said angrily.

Just the mention of Zane made Stella so angry that she didn’t want to continue with this topic anymore. Hence, she told Janice that she would send the address to her later and would pay for the delivery fees before thanking her.

“There’s no need to be so courteous with me. I’m an old acquaintance of President Grant’s mother. You’re just embarrassing me if you pay for the delivery fees over such a small package.”

“Adele?” Surprised, Stella instinctively felt a little disgusted. As Adele wasn’t a nice person, when she thought about her friends, a phrase popped into her mind—birds of a feather flock together.

After a long while, Janice said, “No!”

Then, she hung up, leaving Stella dumbfounded. Isn’t Adele Miles’ mother? It really seems like it’s not her, judging from what Janice meant, but it also feels like she doesn’t want to speak about this issue either, she thought, feeling confused.

The next day, Stella returned to her shop after the drip, her face still rather pale. What she didn’t know was that Janice had already told Miles about her hospitalization.

When she returned to her shop, she saw Miles waiting there with his hands in his pockets. Startled, she didn’t know how she should face him.

However, he was the one who asked a question first. “Is she here yet?”

“Who?”

“That girl from your family, Julia,” he answered, sounding angry at the mention of this name.

“No,” she replied curtly, puzzled and not understanding why he was asking her this.
