Chapter 1732
Felicity could not contain her excitement. "Is this my goddaughter? Oh my goodness, she's so tiny. This is
incredible!"
She turned to Stella and exclaimed, "Look at this! I told you there's a baby!”
Stella felt a lump in her throat. It took her a while before saying, "Why is it so small? Does this indicate it's
unhealthy?"
The doctor, amused by her concern, chuckled. "They’re usually the size of a mung bean in the first month. Why
would you think it has health issues?"
"I had health issues before. I'm worried it might affect the baby," Stella said in a low voice.
The doctor seemed briefly surprised. She comforted her, saying, "Well know for sure once we have all the test
results. Try not to stress about it at the moment. Stay calm and think positive."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella nodded. After a pause, she inquired, "Doctor, my husband had a vasectomy. Could that have influenced the
baby?"
"Your husband had a vasectomy, and yet you're pregnant?"
"Perhaps it didn't work?" Stella suggested.
The doctor was left speechless by Stella's situation." Generally, it shouldn't be a problem. If you're concerned, we
can perform more precise tests once the fetus is a little bigger."
Stella nodded and then thought of another issue. Nervously, she asked, "Could drinking alcohol affect the baby?"
"Absolutely! It's not safe to drink when you're pregnant," the doctor said firmly. "Have you consumed any alcohol in
the last month?"
Stella's heart sank. "I didn't realize I was pregnant, so I had a few drinks."
"How much are we talking about here?"
Before Stella could say anything, Felicity intervened, "She had about half a bottle yesterday. We didn't know about
the pregnancy at that time."
The doctor's face changed, and she sternly educated Stella on the potential consequences.
Stella felt regretful. If only she had realized she was pregnant, she wouldn't have let Marshall persuade her to have
a drink.
Whether it was due to the doctor's words instilling psychological effects or other reasons, Stella, who had been
relatively calm, suddenly felt discomfort in her lower abdomen.
She furrowed her brow and said, "Dr. Lyle, m-my stomach feels weird."
The doctor stopped scolding her and quickly inquired about her condition. Soon, she discovered that Stella was
experiencing vaginal bleeding. Without delay, she called for assistance from her colleagues.
In the midst of the chaos, the doctor administered a uterine relaxant injection. An hour later, Stella's condition
gradually stabilized.
Vermont broke out in cold sweat. If the child didn't make it, Keegan would probably kill him once he regained his

Stella, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with regret. She should have been more cautious after using the
pregnancy test last night. However, due to her unwavering belief in Keegan's vasectomy, she considered it unlikely
that she was pregnant.
If it weren't for her conversation with Luke, Stella would not have gone to the hospital to get checked up.
With Garrett's assistance, Stella was quickly admitted and given a private room.
Felicity chose to stay by her side, and Vermont joined them.
At the moment, Stella didn't plan to tell anyone about the pregnancy.
She reached out to her family, explaining that she and Felicity needed a few days together to clear their minds.
Wenham and Trevor assumed her distress was related to Keegan's memory loss. They didn't object and only asked
her to keep in touch.
Stella did not appear at the Kane residence for three consecutive days. Meanwhile, Jaylene visited Keegan daily to
accompany him during his exercises.
