On the second day, when Stella opened her eyes, Clarence wasn’t seen in the room.

A servant knocked at the door, “Good morning, Mrs. Conrad. Are you awake?”

Stella rubbed her temples and sat up. Her voice was a bit hoarse, “Yes.”

Shortly, the servant walked in, “Good morning, Mrs. Conrad. The breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it here or downstairs?”

“I’ll go downstairs.”

“Okay,” the servant answered.

Then she turned around and left.

Stella sat on the bed for a while and waited until her strength recovered. She couldn’t put on the clothes that she was wearing the previous day, so she took another outfit from the closet.

When she sat at the dining table, the servant served breakfast to her. Seeing that she looked quite exhausted, the servant asked in a low voice, “Mrs. Conrad, are you feeling not well?”

Stella shook her head, “I just felt a bit dizzy. Nothing much.”

The servant said again, “Before Mr. Conrad left, he asked me to accompany you for a checkup in the hospital. When would you like to go there, Mrs. Conrad?”

Stella wanted to hear “the hospital” the least. She paused her hands that were holding the tableware. After a long while, she asked, “Where is he?”

“Mr. Conrad is on a business trip. He won’t come back until a week later.”

“On a business trip?”

Stella didn’t understand why Clarence was doing so for a moment. Didn’t he say he would take her to the hospital today? Or he didn’t think it’s a big matter for him at all, so he just picked up someone at random to take her there.

The servant nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Conrad. Mr. Conrad also asked me to take good care of you when he’s away.”

Stella pressed her lips and didn’t utter a word. Inwardly, she disdained his words “take good care”, which sounded so considerate.

However, she couldn’t help cursing the wretched man - how could he be so heartless? Even he didn’t want the baby, he wouldn’t have done so if he was a man with a little responsibility.
