Female Novel
Chapter 439
Chapter 439Albert did not even dare to switch on his phone. As long asSophia's incident did not die down, various news outlets would rampantly call his phone whenever it was on.
Even their housemaid said she saw a few suspicious people near where they were staying when she took out the trash early inthe morning.
Hylda held a bowl of yogurt as she stood at the study's door. Then, she gently knocked on the door twice. After hearing Albert'svoice from the room, she opened the door and went inside.
“Have something to eat, Albert," she said as she placed the yogurt on the table.
She said slowly, "You barely slept last night and are still busy the entire day today. Eat something before you continue; don't letyourself fall sick."
Albert looked annoyed, "There are still so many deposits that haven't been covered; how could | be in the mood to eat right now?“Albert, the matter about money isn't urgent; it's only temporary. What's important at the moment, isn't this," Hylda paused. Shesoftly said, 'l just received news from the hospital. Rainee seems to be conscious."
Albert paled, "What did you say?"
To make Albert decide soon, Hylda exaggerated Rainee's situation.
Albert had a fearful and doubtful expression, "Are you sure? The doctor clearly said the chances are extremely low."‘Just because the chances are extremely low, it doesn't mean she won't regain consciousness, ' thought Hylda.
She lowered her voice, "Albert, once she regains consciousness, some things can no longer be hidden. If Stella learns aboutwhat happened back then, it'll be more than just losing some money."
Albert was so shocked and petrified, "Then, what should we do?"Hylda looked at his hopeless state."How did | fall for a good-for-nothing like him back then?’ she thought repeatedly.
Hylda suppressed the disgust she felt within and said in a low voice, "Albert, Stella longer has any consideration for yourfeelings; she won't care about the father-and-daughter relationship between you two. After Rainee discovered those loopholes,we covered them so Stella might not have crucial evidence and couldn't threaten you. However, conversely, we can counter-pressure her with Rainee's hospital bills that we have been shouldering all this time. Since she doesn't care about her father anddaughter relationship with you anymore, we no longer have to show her any mercy."
She paused momentarily before continuing slowly, "It's time we stop paying for her hospital bills."
After Hylda and Albert married, he handed the matter of paying Rainee's hospital bills to her. She wished the woman wouldnever regain consciousness, so she would constantly put off paying for the hospital bills and only pay when she could no longerdelay it. Right now, she was really glad about this decision of hers.
‘Based on my calculation, Rainee's account should be out of money now. If Stella uses the Kane family's money to pay Rainee'shospital bills, someone will naturally do something without the need for us to make a move" she thought.
Albert was still a little indecisive. He pursed his lips for a long time before finally saying, "The doctor's already said she doesn'thave long to live; is there a need for us to take things to this extent?" Hylda's voice turned icy.novelbin
"If she regains consciousness, we're both done for! Albert, think of the things she did to you! Think of Stella! Can you live withwhat she did?"
Albert's expression changed. He finally decided. "Alright. Go and do it, then."
Hylda walked out of the study and immediately made a call. In Alodale, Coco stared at the four white walls around her. Shefrowned, "Didn't you say we're going to play? Why are we at the hospital again?"
The hospital staff was helping her change into a gown while
Keegan stood at the side.
"You can go out and play after this surgery," he said coolly. Coco pouted.
"That was what you said the last time | got surgery. In the end, | was still in the hospital when | woke up."
Keegan said, "This is the last surgery."
