Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 503

The moment the hospital door closed behind her, Stella seemned to snap out of her thoughts, only to fall into a new round of contemplation.

Feeling weighed down, Stella returned to her car, but she didn't art the engine right away. Instead, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, Stella's anxious expression immediately softened into a warm smile. Her voice became light and gentle as she spoke. "Macy, it's me, Stella. I'm back.

"I just went for my pre-employment check-up at your hospital and figured you were probably busy, so I didn't go to bother you. But there's a small matter I need your help with. Do you have a moment?" Macy Lorcan was the head of the inpatient department at Betrico Hospital, and one of Stella's close friends.

Upon hearing Stella's request, Macy immediately responded. "Of course! It's my honor to help. Go ahead. I'm listening."

At that, Stella smiled softly before speaking. "It's actually nothing major. I ran into an acquaintance in the Specialized Pediatric Ward on the third floor. It seems like her student, or someone close to her, is sick.

"I'm not sure what happened, and I didn't want to ask directly, in case it touched on something sensitive. So I was hoping you could help me get some details. If they need assistance, I can lend a hand."

Macy responded. "Stella, you're still as kind-hearted as ever. This is easy. Don't hang up. Let me check it out. The computer is right in front of me, I'll have an answer in a minute."

Stella expressed her gratitude, and sure enough, just a few minutes later, Macy spoke up. "Stella, the girl in the Specialized Pediatric Ward is a young child with Type 1 diabetes.

"According to the records, her address is listed as Charity Orphanage. I just asked my colleague, and it turns out that all the medical fees are being covered by the professor Ms. Leach from Betrico University."
