Chapter 114 

Claudia gasped, her voice tight with shock and disbelief, “What did you say?” 

Anger flashed in her eyes, a storm brewing beneath the surface. 

“Remove her uterus? We paid a fortune for your expertise, and you’re telling me that it’s to strip her of her future as a mother?” 

Her fury was palpable as she glared at the doctor. 

The Quarry family already had their reservations about Ursula, and if they found out she could no longer bear children, then it was curtains for her and Yorick. 

With Stella and Yorick’s relationship already on the rocks, losing the possibility of Ursula and Yorick’s future together meant the end of the road for any alliance between them. 

Are all of you incompetent? With all the resources at your disposal, can none of you save her uterus?” 

The doctor replied, “Her condition is quite severe. She also has liver cancer, which severely limits the medications we can use. Her body can’t take much more.” 

Cloudia was rendered speechless, her heart tightened at the words. 

The doctor continued, “There’s Professor, Tegan James, you know her, right?” 

Cloudia looked at the specialist, struggling for breath, “What do you mean?” 

“She’s made significant advances in this field. Despite her young age, she’s managed to help many patients over the years. “If you could get her on board, there might still be a chance to save Ms. Larkin’s uterus.” 

Tegan, Finley! 

Back to them again. 

“Are they really that indispensable? All of you, and none can replace them?” 

Claudia’s frustration was evident. Her thoughts turned to Stella, knowing her involvement could complicate things further. The doctor fell silent, a testament to the unique talents some possess that simply can’t be replicated through effort alone. Seeing the doctor’s silence as confirmation, Claudia’s frustration boiled over, “Get lost right now, useless, the lot of you.” The doctor, his expression grim, turned and left. It wasn’t entirely the doctor’s fault; Ursula’s health was a complex puzzle, each condition as urgent as the next. 

When Yorick and Jaxon arrived, they were met with Cloudia’s ashen face. 

“Mom, what’s happened?” 

Pulled from her thoughts, Cloudia looked at Jaxon and Yorick, “Is there any way to pressure Stella?” 

Yorick and Jaxon remained silent. 

Pressuring Stella seemed an impossible feat. Whether it was money or influence, nothing seemed to work on her. 

Jaxon admitted, “There’s no way to pressure her.” 

“Then we’ll just have to kidnap her!” Cloudia blurted out in desperation. 

Stella, who had just turned the corner, overheard Cloudia’s drastic suggestion. 

To kidnap her? 

A cold shadow passed over her eyes. 

Not having noticed her existence, Cloudia kept on, “I have no other choice. We must get Tegan and Finley back no matter what. Since she chose a hard way instead of the easy one, there’s nothing I could do.” 

Stella stepped into view, “So, Mrs. Larkin, are you suggesting that if I refuse to take it in an easy way, you’ll resort to kidnapping me?” Claudia, Yorick, and Jaxon froze, caught in the act.
