Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 551

Even though the matter over there was crucial, Finley just couldn't bring himself to go, especially to the Muliba Desert. The climate was harsh, and the threat of outbreaks loomed over it like a bad omen. Not even the most brilliant minds wanted to venture there, much less someone like him.

As Finley left, Dylan’s mind wondered back into contemplation, and before long, Yvonne and Lottie arrived in the medical room with Stella.

Seeing Lottie, Dylan quickly stood up and greeted respectfully.

Lottie guided Stella forward. "Please tend to her wounds. Oh, and she might be pregnant. See what medication you can give."

Dylan's eyes widened.

Pregnant?

That sneaky Finley, setting him up like this! If he had only checked Stella's stomach and prescribed a bunch of meds, he'd be the one shipped off to that desolate desert with him.

He'd have a word with him later, that was for sure.

Noticing Dylan's hesitation, Lottie asked, "Is something wrong?"

"I'll treat her wounds first," Dylan responded, quickly gathering medication safe for expectant mothers. She bandaged Stella's injuries, all the while simmering with frustration towards Finley.

Meanwhile, in the study, Ronald lit a cigarette with a grim expression, tossing the pack to Xander.

Xander caught it, agitatedly pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, his breath still uneven. "Is she really pregnant? Is the child yours?"

Xander's voice was low and dangerous, seemingly ready to explode and tear Ronald apart if the latter uttered a single “yes”.

Ronald glanced at him icily, offering no answer. That one look was enough to infuriate Xander. "Ronald, that's my freaking fiancée, promised by our elders, spoken with clear intent. Who do you think you are?"

Xander couldn't contain himself any longer, his anger flaring up as he slammed a fist onto the desk. The force made the items on it tremble.
