Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

After breakfast, when Clarence was getting dressed, Stella opened the fridge, took out an herbal soup pack, and

put it into her purse.

Then she suppressed the disgust and discomfort as she took an injection.

When Clarence came out, Stella was putting on her shoes at the porch.

Gazing at her, Clarence frowned a bit.

Stella met his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Clarence said, “Why do you look a bit paler than just now?”

She stroked her cheek subconsciously. “Really?”

As she spoke, she looked at Clarence in confusion. “Do you want to flirt with me again?”

Clarence knocked on her forehead. “Am I that bored?”

“Of course.” Stella changed her shoes. “I’m done. Let’s go.”

When she reached the door, Clarence pulled her to stop. “If you don’t feel well, I’ll take you to the hospital."

Stella was taken aback. Then she said, “I’m fine. Probably the light on the porch is too bright, so my face looks

pale.”

As she spoke, she checked the time. Dragging Clarence out, she urged, “We’ll be late. Hurry.”

Sherry would inspect the decoration at the film set, so she left home earlier than usual.

Clarence drove Stella to the studio.

Before she got down, Clarence could tell she looked much better than earlier, so he didn’t insist. He said, “If you felt

exhausted, just go home. My money is all yours. You don’t need to work so hard.”

Stella smiled. “I know.”

She pulled the door open. Thinking for a few seconds, she looked back, approached Clarence, and pecked on his

cheek. With a bright smile, she said, “Award for you.”

Clarence raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit surprised about the kiss.

Stella got down and waved at him. “Bye. I’m going inside.”

Clarence answered, “Okay.”

Watching the black car go away, Stella withdrew her gaze and went into the studio.

Sitting in the office, she heated up the herbal soup. Looking at it, she couldn’t drink at all. She felt sickened again.

She texted Archer asking him if her status was normal.

Soon, Archer called her back.

He asked, “Besides feeling sickened, do you have any other symptoms?”

“After the injection, I always feel dizzy, but I’ll recover in a few minutes.”

“It’s normal. The injection could increase your pregnancy possibility, but it has some side effects. As I said, you will

suffer in the procedure. Besides... it’s just the beginning. In the future, you’ll suffer more. It’s just like your reaction

to the herbal soup. Once you felt disgusted, you would find it more and more repulsive.”

Stella was silent for a moment. “I see. I’ll try my best to overcome the sickss.”

Archer said, “How about this? I’ll adjust the amount next time.”

Stella refused affirmatively, “No, thanks. Don’t change anything. I can accept it.”

Archer knew why she was so determined, so he didn’t insist on convincing her. “Probably, you’ll get used to it when

time goes by. Don’t give you too much pressure or obsessed with when you’ll be pregnant. Take it easy. Relax. Then

the treatment would be easier, and you would have higher chance of pregnancy.”

Stella smiled, “I got it. Thank you.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the herbal soup. Supressing her sickness, she exhaled, raised her head,

and gulped it down.

Soon, Sherry came back.

She had been busy for a whole morning, soaked in sweat. As soon as she came back, she lay on the sofa

motionlessly.

Stella poured a glass of water for her. “How did it go?”

Sherry took a swig. Heaving a sigh, she said, “Almost done. It should be no problem for the shooting tomorrow.”

Stella checked the time. “It’s not noon yet. Would you like to take a rest here?”

Sherry didn’t have other emergencies to deal with except inspecting the film set, so she nestled on the sofa and

said, “Okay. I’ll take a nap for half an hour. Please wake me up later.”

“No problem. Go ahead.”

Sitting at the desk, Stella continued working on the design drafts on her computer.

A few minutes later, Sherry suddenly asked, “Stella, did you smell something weird in this room?”

Stella paused, looked back, and asked, “What smell?”

Sherry opened her eyes, sniffed hard, and thought carefully. “It seemed to be some kind of herbal soup.”

Then she looked over at Stella. “Are you taking herbal soup?”

Stella smiled. She didn’t want to hide it from Sherry to raise the suspicion, so she honestly said, “Yeah. I’m nursing

my health now, so I’m taking herbal soup daily.”

Sherry thought it was just for nursing her health, so she asked, “Does it work? I also felt a bit unwell recently. If it

works, I’ll also go to see the doctor.”

Stella knew her discomfort must be from her miscarriage.

Thinking for a while, Stella answered, “It works well. I’ll talk to my doctor. Tell me your symptoms, and I'll consult

him. He will get the herbal soup for you according to your conditions.”

“Great. I’ll give it to you now. I feel tired and sore all over recently. After the endorsement stuff is done, I’ll take the

herbal soup and back to be kicking again.”

Shortly after, Stella received Sherry's message. She forwarded it to Archer.

“A friend of mine felt not well recently. Can you get her some herbal soup, please?”

Archer didn’t reply. Stella guessed that he must be busy.

Sherry said, “Stella, where did you find the doctor? If it works for me, I want to get my mother some herbal soup as

well. Her ankle was twisted before the Chinese New Year. Now, it hurts when never it rains.”

Stella put down her phone. “Well... he’s my son’s doctor.”

Sherry asked tentatively, “Does he charge a lot?”

Stella smiled. “He’s Darnell James’s...”

She paused a bit.

She hadn’t sorted out the complicated relations in the James family yet.

Stella continued, “He should be Elaine’s cousin.”

Earlier, when the team was in the lab, it was probably Darnell who had funded them.

Now, Clarence had moved them into the manor, so all the expense were paid by him.

However, Stella felt embarrassed for keeping bothering Archer.

She thought for a moment and added, “Elaine told me that her cousin likes Winnie a lot.”
