Chapter 77 Unexpected Encounter with the Matchmaker

Chapter 77 Unexpected Encounter with the Matchmaker

Stella was both shocked and delighted. She grabbed Peggy's hand.

"Mom, do you recognize me?"

Peggy stared at her blankly, her gaze still somewhat unfocused.

"Mom!" Stella was excited and placed her head on her mother's knee. "You finally remember me... For

a while, you didn't recognize me. You only recognized Samuel. It made me so sad!"

A faint smile appeared on Peggy's pale face, and her thin hand gently stroked Stella's long hair.

"Stella... You're Stella," she murmured.

Although her voice was unclear, Stella was content.

"Mom, the weather is nice today. Can I push you downstairs for a walk?"

Peggy didn't react. She slowly raised her eyes, staring straight into the distance and occasionally

mumbling a few unclear words.

Stella remained squatting in front of her, and the previous excitement gradually gave way to a sense of

loss.

"Mom..."

"Stella," Peggy whispered, "you're my daughter, Stella. Your surname is... Taylor?"

Stella was startled.

Suddenly, she noticed a change in Peggy's eyes. Her vacant look earlier was now filled with fierceness.

"Mom?"

"You're surnamed Taylor. You are Henry's daughter!"

Before Stella could react, Peggy fiercely grabbed her hair. She screamed in pain and panic, but

Peggy's strength suddenly became surprisingly strong, firmly holding onto her hair.

The excruciating pain, as if her scalp and skull were being torn apart, surged through her.

"No, Mom, stop!"

Peggy completely disregarded everything and forcefully grabbed her, giving her a strong shake.

Stella was flung to the cabinet, knocking everything off it.

She struggled to get up, but Peggy rushed over and delivered a fierce kick to her lower abdomen.

"Don't want this child... Don't want this child!" Peggy rambled, "Abort it, abort it!"

Stella was in excruciating pain. The nurses outside heard the commotion and rushed in one after

another.

But Peggy was hysterical, and the nurses couldn't restrain her. Just as Peggy picked up a vase to

smash it at Stella, a white figure flashed by and firmly held her down.

"Quick, get the bandages!"

The nurses were frightened and quickly complied, bringing bandages and sedatives. They, along with

the doctor, bound Peggy to the bed.

A sharp needle pierced her wrist, and the sedative slowly entered her body. She soon calmed down,

blinked her eyes twice, and fell into a deep sleep.

The hospital room was in a mess, followed by a deathly silence.

The nurses breathed a sigh of relief and then noticed Stella, who was injured in the corner. They

hurriedly got her to the nurse's station to check her injuries.

Stella trembled all over, feeling both scared and sad. Tears that she had been holding back for a long

time started to fall.

"Luckily, your external injuries are not serious." A nurse applied a bandage to her and comforted her,

"Don't be sad. Peggy usually behaves well. She had taken her medicine before you came. I don't know

why..."

"Show me this patient's medical record." Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice sounded.

The nurse was stunned, exchanged a glance with the doctor, and blushed. She quickly brought the

medical record before leaving with her head down.

Stella snapped back to reality and looked toward the sound. A tall doctor was standing at the door, with

handsome features and a gentle demeanor. In a white gown, he exuded a charismatic aura.

That explained the nurse's reaction just now.

But this doctor... looked familiar to the eye.

"Aiden?" Stella pondered for a moment and blurted out.

Aiden also recognized her and immediately smiled with joy.

"You... You're Amelia, right? What brings you here?"

Stella lowered her head slightly and smiled.

Dr. Johnson was the matchmaker between her and Liam, but he didn't know that she had taken

Amelia's place to marry Liam.

"I'm Stella." She smiled and looked at him. "This is a long story. I'll explain it to you in the future."

Aiden was momentarily stunned, then laughed cheerfully, "Well, whether you're Amelia or Stella, in any

case, you're the daughter of the Taylor family, and I didn't work in vain as a matchmaker.

"By the way, how are you and Liam? After you moved to Eldoria, I went to Emberfall Medical School for This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

some time, so we haven't been in touch."

"We're doing fine," Stella answered softly. "Why don't you come to my place after work? It's been a long

time since you last saw Liam. I'll cook a few dishes, and you two can have a few drinks!"

"It's fine," Aiden said, waving his hand. "I still have many medical records to review."

Speaking of which, he suddenly remembered the thrilling scene he had just witnessed in the ward.

"Um... Was that your mother just now?" Aiden asked.

Stella's expression turned gloomy, and she nodded gently.

Aiden wrinkled his brows. Although he didn't know the details, he could empathize. If he had a mother

like that, he would also feel very sad. He looked at Stella and comforted her softly, "Don't worry. I will

take good care of her."

"Thank you." It was this kind-hearted doctor who had intervened earlier to control the situation, and

Stella was grateful to him.

"Dr. Johnson, are you working in this sanatorium?"

"No, not really," Aiden explained with a smile. "I specialize in surgery, and psychiatry is just a minor

subject for me. I came here to learn more, and once my training is over, I'll leave."

"Oh."

"But I have my own clinic in the southern part of the city. If you and Liam need anything, I can still help!"

Aiden was a kind-hearted person. After saying that, he scratched his head and added, "Well, as a

doctor, I hope you two never get sick or injured. Please don't come to me for help!"

Stella also smiled.

Suddenly, she thought of Liam, who was now working as a boxing coach. He was bound to have

various injuries, big and small, considering his frequent matches. It seemed like they really needed

someone like Aiden around.

After all, Aiden knew them inside out. When they were in the village before, he and Liam were as close

as brothers.

So, he was more reliable than any other doctor.

"Dr. Johnson, to be honest," she said, looking at him. "There is something we need your help with!"

...

The match was scheduled two days later in the evening.

Liam's opponent was the three-time champion of the city level, and he had quite a reputation.

However, compared to Liam's previous records, he was still far behind.

It was Stella's first time in such an environment. The buzzing crowd, the intense atmosphere, and the

boxers fighting fiercely in the ring all left her deeply impressed.

She and Mia sat in the middle seats, which was the best place to see every move on the stage.

"Hey, it's my first time watching a live match too!" Despite the central air conditioning, the scorching

atmosphere around them made Mia sweat profusely, and she constantly waved the fan in her hand.

She was more excited than Stella. As soon as they entered the venue, her eyes were not enough to

take it all in. When she saw those muscular men with their upper bodies exposed, she almost

screamed.

"Mia, can you calm down a bit?" Stella laughed. "If you act like this, I won't dare to bring you here

again."

"Stella, you're not being fair!" Mia pinched her playfully and complained, "Your husband has such great

connections, and you only bring me here now! Tell me the truth. Do you want to keep them all to

yourself?"

"Nonsense!" Stella blushed and turned away.

"Right! I know that besides your wonderful husband, no other man can catch your eye!" Mia talked a

lot, "Well, honestly, although I used to look down on him, I have to thank him for this opportunity today.

And..."

She suddenly stopped and looked toward a nearby spot.

As she stopped talking, Stella turned back curiously. "What's wrong?"

"Look over there!" Mia raised her chin, "That person is here too! Did you invite him?"
