Chapter 386 

Cloudia was trembling with anger. 

“Have you said enough? If you have, then just shut up.” 

Lola chimed in, “Go see Jaxon first.” 

She was adamant. Even though Jaxon was a piece of work, her son was still his flesh and blood. 

If he couldn’t work.anymore, who would provide for her son? 

Cloudia was so mad she felt dizzy, but in the end, there was no choice but to have Tegan take a look at Jaxon’s injury. 

They were basically blacklisted by the hospital, and no doctor dared to make a house call. 

The guy backing Stella had really cornered the Larkin family this time, blocking every possible escape. The company was at a standstill, and even basic medical care at home was out of reach. 

Tegan examined the wound. “This is badly infected. It needs hospital treatment as soon as possible.” 

Cloudia and Lola both fell silent at the mention of the hospital. 

“Can you prescribe some medication?” Cloudia asked cautiously, worried about offending the only doctor who had been willing to visit the Larkin family. 

Tegan shook her head, “I can’t.” 

“You’re a doctor, how can you not prescribe medication?” Lola was getting desperate. 

Tegan remained firm, “I just can’t.” 

Cloudia pleaded, “Ms. James, we’re really out of options here.” 

Tegan cut her off. “Let’s go check on Ursula now.” 

If Stella hadn’t called in a favor, Tegan wouldn’t have been here at all. She had no patience left for this. 

She had seen firsthand how awful Jaxon was. After all the times he tried to off Stella on Ursula’s account, Tegan wouldn’t have helped him even if she could. He deserved to have his hand irreparably damaged. 

“Okay,” Cloudia relented, afraid to push Tegan any further, and led her to Ursula’s room. 

Lola looked at Jaxon, “If it weren’t for me sticking up for you, she’d only care about that adopted daughter.” 

“Shut up!” Jaxon snapped, his temper flaring at Lola. 

The past few days had been chaotic with both Lola and Cloudia at each other’s throats, and Ursula even hit Ursula. 

“First it was Stella causing all the chaos, and now it’s you. Can anyone get peace around here?” Jaxon yelled, his breathing heavy with frustration. 

Lola’s lips twitched. “What the hell? Can’t you tell what’s good or bad? How am I the one causing the chaos? Wait, you’re still siding with Ursula?” 

Her temper flared again. Ignoring Jaxon’s injuries, she slapped him across the face. “You idiot! Are you blind?” 

Jaxon’s face burned where she hit him, and he glared at her. “Are you insane?” 

Lola snarled, “Yeah, I am insane. Stella was driven crazy just like that, wasn’t she? You bastard…” 

Lola exploded with anger. 

Since she moved in, Ursula had caused so much trouble, yet no one ever questioned if Ursula was in the wrong it was always her fault.

Overcome with rage, Lola started to trash the room. 

“I’m not as a pushover as Stella, taking your crap and then moving out to get away from you,” she shouted as she destroyed everything in sight. “I’m not leaving. You think you can just let Ursula run wild? Well, I can cause chaos too, and believe me, it won’t be me suffering.” 

Jaxon was on the brink of losing it. 

“Have you done being a lunatic? Who really dares bullying some shrew like you? Who even could?” 

The notion that Stella was some kind of pushover was laughable. If she were, his hand wouldn’t be mangled, and Yorick wouldn’t be covered in bruises. 

This bunch of god damn women, always playing the victim, it was infuriating. 

Meanwhile, back at Mist Bay, Ronald had gone off to the study with Idris. 

When she entered her room, Stella noticed the security had all been replaced, and more personnel had been added. Everything broken before had been restored. 

The household staff respectfully took Stella’s things to her room. Just as she lay down, there was a knock at the door. 

A maid opened it, exchanged a few words, and then turned to Stella. “Mr. Quinn has arranged for a female doctor to check on you.” 

Stella was taken aback. A check–up? More like an examination of that specific area. 

Thinking about it made Stella uncomfortable. “No, that’s not necessary.” 

The maid insisted, “The doctor said it’s necessary to evaluate your actual condition, per Mr. Quinn’s orders.” 

Stella hesitated, “Really, it’s fine.” 

Even though it was a female doctor, the thought was still embarrassing. 

The maid had no choice but to explain to the doctor. No one could make Stella do anything she didn’t want to 

But soon enough, Ronald entered the room. He gently coaxed Stella out from under the covers. “Come on, be good. We need the doctor to take a look, okay?” 

Stella protested, “I don’t want to.” 

Ronald sighed, ruffling her hair softly. “How about you close your eyes and don’t look at the doctor?” 

Stella was puzzled. What did he mean? 

Ronald explained, “You can stay under the blanket, and the doctor will just take a quick look.”
