Chapter 348
Aurora could not eat anything due to the pain in her mouth. She threw her cutlery onto the floor in anger. The housemaid knelt down on the floor to clean anxiously. Aurora then threw a glass cup by the housemaid’s feet.
The flying shard of glass slit her hand, and she started to bleed.
“Scram! Get away from me!” After she finished screaming, Aurora held onto her cheeks in pain.
“Why are you taking your anger out on the housemaid?” Dahlia scolded her and turned to the housemaid. “Stop cleaning and take care of your injury first.”
The housemaid nodded and left. Dahlia took another bowl of porridge and passed it to Aurora. “This bowl is slightly cooler. Eat it slowly.”
Aurora had difficulty eating due to the injuries in her mouth these few days. Her whole frame had grown skinnier due to her nutrition’s inability to keep up. Not only did her physique become much thinner, but her complexion had become much worse too. In addition to the constant torment from the pain, her initially terrible temperament became extra cranky.
“I don’t want to eat it, mother. I’m in pain,” she said while sobbing softly.
Dahlia looked at her much skinnier daughter and bit her lower lip. After a long while, she said, “Eat your meals properly and heal your injuries first. You can rest assured that mommy won’t let this incident slide.”
On the other hand, Felicity was waiting outside. When Stella walked out of Mrs. Chapman’s place, she asked anxiously, “How did it go? Is it negotiable?”
Stella shook her head. “The owner of Dragon Lagoon is Mrs. Chapman.”
Felicity froze. “Is Mrs. Chapman the one you won tens of thousands of dollars from, so she keeps causing problems for you?”
Stella nodded her head.
“It’s such a small world. How could it be her? Is she spiteful, so she did not rent it to you?” Felicity asked.
“There’s that possibility,” Stella replied.
‘And this should be the one with the highest probability to be the truth,’ Stella thought.
Stella was surprised. “Are you sick?”
“I’ve had some pain in my chest recently. It feels like there’s a lump inside. I wanted to have it checked in the hospital, but I was scared to be alone.”
Stella furrowed her brows. “Why didn’t you say sooner? How long has the pain been?”
“Quite a few months. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it doesn’t. It was excruciatingly painful these few days,” Felicity replied.
Stella was so mad at her. “It’s been hurting for a few months, and you never thought about getting it checked out? If it’s truly a big problem, the delay might have killed you!”
Felicity was immediately scared. “It wouldn’t be a big problem, I think. You shouldn’t scare me. My second aunt had breast cancer. Are these diseases hereditary? Could I have breast cancer? I’m not even married. If I need surgery to remove my breast, how would I get married in the future?”
Stella was speechless. She then replied, “If it comes to that, you can have a sex change.”
