Dahlia was so immersed in the matter of Stella’s pregnancy she did not notice her daughter’s peculiar expression.

She frowned and said, “How could a medical examination show if you have a deficiency in your vital energy and blood, or dampness in your uterus? If you don’t get these treated, keeping the baby will be hard even if you get pregnant.”

Stella stopped talking.

Dahlia thought she got through Stella. She continued, “Recently, Chandler’s son has been getting really close with the mayor’s daughter. If they get married and pregnant ahead of you, then things will get difficult for Keegan in the company in the future. After all, Cordelia prioritizes the eldest child and grandchild a lot.”

‘That’s none of my damn business?! I’m about to get a divorce. Do I care if Keegan is having a hard time? Besides, Keegan doesn’t look worried. He doesn’t even want a child. Oh, right. He doesn’t want a child with me,’ she thought.

“Your mother’s been in a coma for years, and she showed no signs of regaining consciousness. Meanwhile, your father’s barely fifty. Since he’s so young, he might remarry. When that happens, could you still return to the Jewell family? Your child is yours and will be someone you depend on in the future. Stella, you need to plan for yourself.”

Obviously, Stella was not naive enough to think that Dahlia was doing this for her sake. Everyone in the Kane family had their own plans. To them, Stella was merely a chess piece.

“I understand.”

Stella lowered her gaze, just like before. She looked obedient and had an air of wimpiness and feebleness.

Dahlia did not say anything more and merely urged her to finish the medicine.

Seeing how she could not avoid it, Stella had no choice but to pick up the bowl and down the medicine in one go.

‘Putting on this show is not worthwhile! We’ll definitely have to split the assets by 40-60!’ she thought.

Soon after Stella finished the medicine, Keegan walked in.

Since Dahlia had accomplished what she came here for, they had no reason to continue their meal. She stood up and said, “I’ve got a card game with Mrs. Wood in the afternoon, and it’s almost time. You can all continue eating.”

Aurora quickly stood up. “I’m going shopping with a friend today. Mom, could you send me?”

The two walked Aurora and Dahlia to the door. Before leaving, Dahlia reminded Stella again, “Stella, don’t forget to take it with you. Also, remember what I said.”

Stella nodded.
