Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 229

Cloudia hurried to catch up with Yorick's brisk pace.

Upon seeing Cloudia, Yorick was somewhat taken aback. "Cloudia, what are you doing here?"

Cloudia took a moment to catch her breath.

"Rick, let me ask you, did you come here because of Stella?"

Yorick froze, caught off guard.

Orion stayed silent, equally taken aback.

The bluntness of Cloudia's question unsettled Yorick for reasons he couldn't quite pin down, especially the mention of Stella.

If he remembered correctly, Cloudia had never spoken Ursula’s name with such disdain. But Stella was her biological daughter.

For the first time, Yorick noticed the difference in how Cloudia treated Stella and Ursula.

It suddenly dawned on him why Stella had always been so cold towards the Larkins.

Orion, too, was surprised. He hadn't expected Cloudia to raise such a direct question about her own daughter. After all, hadn’t the Larkins practically handed Stella off to Yorick two years ago? What was this change of attitude now?

Yorick narrowed his eyes. "Did Ursula send you?"

Thinking back to Ursula's words over the phone, he suddenly felt she was being unreasonable.

During her treatment, he had been juggling work and hospital visits. Now, with an issue at the company keeping him busy, he hadn't visited her recently. And here was Cloudia, questioning him?

What was this, an interrogation?

Cloudia's breath hitched. "No, no, that's not it, I just..."

Faced with Yorick's sudden seriousness, Cloudia began to stutter!

"Well, you see... Ursula's sick, and she's very vulnerable right now. Knowing that both you and Stella are in Spring Hill, she's refusing to take her medication."

Yorick was taken aback. "What?"

Hearing that Ursula was refusing her medication made his expression darken further.
