“Have | ever told you that Hylda was one of the students my mother sponsored? She was the only student in her group whodidn't go to university but attended a nursing school," Stella revealed.
Keegan recalled that Hylda's academic pursuits had been hindered after getting involved with Albert, leading her to choosenursing school as an alternative. It was not too bad, as it still granted her a diploma.
"She has some medical knowledge, and from what | remember, my mom wasn't in bad health. However, she couldn't conceivedespite several attempts, even after a successful IVF that ended in a miscarriage," Stella continued.
Keegan quickly understood what Stella was trying to say. "So, you believe that Hylda has something to do with your mother'sinfertility?"
Stella looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Keegan thought about it and said, "Prescription drugs aren't easily obtained, and improper use of abortion medications can bedangerous."
This meant that the drugs Hylda administered to Xenia must have been obtained through reliable channels. 'If we could find outwhere she got those meds, we might uncover whether she was involved in mom's miscarriage years ago,’ thought Stella.
"Don't worry. I'll have someone look into it. She'll be held accountable for her actions if she had something to do with it," Keeganassured her.
Just then, Felicity rushed upstairs and yelled, "Homewrecker Hylda lost the baby!"Vermont followed behind her and said, "Keep your voice down, will you?"
Felicity hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, "Hylda had a miscarriage. The nurses said it was a boy. Albert is downstairscrying like his own parents just died."
Stella and Keegan exchanged glances, and the latter suggested, "Should we go take a look?"Stella hesitated. "| don't think | should go. She might suspect something."
"You not being there would be even more suspicious. Come on. It'll be fine."
Convinced by his reasoning, Stella decided to go and check on Hylda.
Hylda had just finished surgery, and she looked pale. Due to the blood loss on her way to the hospital, she was currentlyreceiving a blood transfusion.
Albert was at the side, looking dejected. 'How could this have happened..? " he said.Hylda gently held his hand. Her eyes were red, as she said, "I’m sorry. | failed to protect our child, Albert."
Albert was filled with anguish over the loss of his son and could not help but scold Hylda, "Why did you go to the gazebo thatwas so high up, knowing your condition? Don't you know your limit?”
Hylda's face flushed red upon hearing that. She could not believe that Albert cared about the loss of his son more than her.
lan frowned and said, "Do you think my sister feels good about losing the baby, Albert? She just underwent a miscarriage and isin a weak state. So, shut up. Her health should be our priority.”
Albert did not have much affection for his brother-in-law. He did not appreciate how lan had relied on Hylda for financial supportduring his entrepreneurial endeavors. Albert was also unhappy that he was not able to gain some benefits from lan now that hewas part of the Moore family. When lan married into the Moore family, the only thing Albert got was a gift from Irene.
"Don't tell me what to do. I'm well aware of the situation," Albert retorted.
"Uncle lan is just concerned about mom. The child would be fine if it weren't for that wench. Don't vent your anger on the wrongperson, dad." Sophia immediately defended her uncle.novelbin

The atmosphere in the room grew even more intense.Albert did not respond to her question. Instead, he stood up and said, "Mrs. Chapman, what brings you here?"
"| was worried about Mrs. Jewell after the incident on my property. | also brought a copy of the surveillance footage since |thought you might want to take a look, Mr. Jewell," Olivia explained in a warm voice.
Upon hearing that, Hylda froze.
