In the shopping mall…
Annie chose dozens of clothes in one go. She turned around and said, “Phoebe, how does this dress
look?”
Phone looked towards her absent-mindedly and forced a smile, “It’s good.”
Annie said to the shopping assistant, “Pack this one too, thanks.”
“Okay.”
When the shopping assistant took the clothes Annie picked to print the bill, Annie looked towards
Phoebe, “Phoebe, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Phoebe replied, “Nothing. I’m just thinking that since we’re going shopping now, should we buy some
gifts for Ms. Radomil?”
Annie felt impatient when she heard Stella’s name, “Phoebe, you saw it today. That woman is so
wretched. You’re good to her, but she doesn’t cherish your kindness at all.”
Phoebe smiled, “It’s her own business no matter whether she wants to appreciate my kindness or not.
I’m just doing what I should do. Moreover, she’s pregnant with Clarence’s child and it somehow has
something to do with me. I can ignore it, right?”
“Are you going to raise that woman’s child?” Annie murmured, “I doubt whether she can deliver that
little bastard or not.”
Phoebe simply kept her head lowered. When she heard Annie’s words, she curled her lips into an
inexplicable smile, “All right, Annie. You’ve bought many clothes. Let’s pay a visit to Rebecca. I guess
you haven’t met her ever since she delivered the baby, right?”
Annie felt guilt-stricken when mentioning this. She forced a smile, “I suddenly remember that my
parents asked me to come back today. You can visit her yourself. I can’t go with you.”
Annie left hurriedly after finishing the words.
Phoebe watched her leaving until she disappeared in her vision. There was a touch of coldness in her
eyes.
…
In the ward…
Phoebe saw Rebecca sitting on the bed and was lost in her thoughts. But she didn’t know what she
was thinking.
She put down the flowers and walked over, “Rebecca, what are you thinking? Where’s the baby?”
Rebecca came to her senses, “My mom takes the baby to have a check-up.”
She then asked, “Phoebe, are you free today?”
“I don’t have too many matters to deal with today. I went to the Conrad family just now and went
shopping with Annie. Then I came to see you.”
When mentioning the Conrad family, a touch of hesitation and struggle flashed across Rebecca’s eyes.
Noticing that she wanted to say something, Phoebe sat beside her and asked in a gentle voice,
“Rebecca, what’s wrong?”
Rebecca bit her lower lip and held up Phoebe’s hand, “Phoebe, I don’t know to which I can pour out my
troubles. Do keep it a secret for me.”
Phoebe nodded her head, “Rebecca, please rest assured.”
After hesitating for a while, Rebecca finally spoke. It was not a glory thing after all.
She kept down her voice, “Do you remember that Clarence’s ex-wife fell into the water at Mrs. Conrad’s
birthday party?”
“I remember it. What’s wrong?”
“It…” Rebecca bit her lower lip and braced herself, “It was me who pushed her into the water.”
“Rebecca, why do you…”
“I thought that she was pregnant with Horace’s child and Horace was going to engage with Annie at
that time. Annie was an impetuous person and I did that because I was afraid that she would make a
fuss when she learned about that. Moreover… Moreover, I didn’t mean to hurt her, I just want to get rid
of the child in her belly. But I hadn’t expected that Clarence saved her…”
Phoebe comforted her, “It’s a past. Furthermore, both Ms. Radomil and her child are safe. Rebecca,
why do you suddenly mention this?”
Rebecca knitted her brows tightly, “Clarence sent me a gift yesterday. The card writes…”
She took out a card from her bag and handed it to Phoebe, “He must have learned about it and he
specially sent the card to threaten me.”
Phoebe took a glance at the card and comforted her, “Rebecca, it’s simply an ordinary greeting. You’ve
thought too much of it.”
Rebecca shook her head, “You also know that my family has a poor relationship with Clarence ever
since Annie and Horace’s engagement. He even has a bad attitude towards my parents, so how could
it be possible that he would especially send a gift to me for the birth of my child. But I can’t figure out
how he learned about that matter…”
Phoebe patted the back of her hand to console her, “Rebecca, don’t be so anxious and don’t let your
imagination scare you. Even what you said is true, it will not matter. I will help you explain to Clarence.
It’s simply a misunderstanding and accident.
Phoebe was the last life-saving straw that Rebecca could clutch at. She said anxiously, “That’s it.
Phoebe, please explain it to Clarence. I did that because I thought it was Horace’s child and I had no
other choice back then. Furthermore… Furthermore, doesn’t he have no feelings except detest for his
wife?”
Phoebe curled her lips into a light smile, “Yeah. He doesn’t have any feelings for her. So Rebecca, you
don’t need to be excessively nervous.”
Right at this moment, Tabitha, Rebecca’s mother, came back with the baby. Therefore, they stopped
the topic.
Phoebe left the ward after greeting Tabitha.
The smile on her face gradually disappeared when she walked out of the ward.
Clarence had no feelings for Stella?
Phoebe recalled what she saw in the garden this morning. She hadn’t been standing there for long, but
Stella and Clarence didn’t notice her at all.
The way Clarence looked at Stella and his behavior of caressing her belly all showed that Stella was so
important for him.
Although Clarence didn’t admit this verbally and satirize Stella frequently, his feelings for Stella were so
obvious.
The reason why she married her was to stable the current situation and to distract the attention of other
members of the Conrad family to help Stella to get rid of the current trouble.
Sitting in the car, Phoebe made a phone call.
When the call was connected, she spoke with a light smile, “Ms. Parker, are you busy recently?”
“I’m not that busy in these two days. What’s the matter, Ms. Steward?”
“Nothing. It’s just that I can’t get in touch with Ms. Radomil recently. I want to ask you whether you can
help me contact her or not. My younger sister likes the necklace she designed before and she wants to
ask her to design one for her.”
Modesty replied in a stiff tone, “Sorry Ms. Steward, I also can’t get in touch with her. She hasn’t been to
SG for a long time.”
“Oh…” Phoebe said in a low voice, “It’s fine, maybe I saw it wrong before. Since you also can’t get in
touch with her, I will not bother you, Ms. Parker.”
“Hold on.” Modesty asked, “Ms. Steward, you said you saw it wrong just now. What did you see? Is it
related to Stella?”
“I’m not sure about it either so I don’t dare to conclude. I visited the Conrad family today and saw a
person who looked quite similar to Ms. Radomil. But that person is pregnant for about six or seven
months. I only saw her back and I’m not sure about whether she’s Ms. Radomil or not. Ms. Parker,
please don’t take it to your heart. Probably I mistook it.”
