“Have I ever told you that Hylda was one of the students my mother sponsored? She was the only
student in her group who didn’t go to university but attended a nursing school,” Ste revealed.
Keegan recalled that Hylda’s academic pursuits had been hindered after getting involved with Albert,
leading her to choose nursing school as an alternative. It was not too bad, as it still granted her a
diploma.

“She has some medical knowledge, and from what I remember, my mom wasn’t in bad health.
However, she couldn’t conceive despite several attempts, even after a sessful IVF that ended in a
miscarriage,” Ste continued.
Keegan quickly understood what Ste was trying to say. “So, you believe that Hylda has something to
do with your mother’s infertility?”
Ste looked at him and asked, “What do you think?”
Keegan thought about it and said, “Prescription drugs aren’t easily obtained, and improper use of
abortion medications can be dangerous.”
This meant that the drugs Hylda administered to Xenia must have been obtained through reliable
channels. ‘If we could find out where she got those meds, we might uncover whether she was involved
in mom’s miscarriage years ago,’ thought Ste.
“Don’t worry. I’ll have someone look into it. She’ll be held ountable for her actions if she had
something to do with it,” Keegan assured her.
Just then, Felicity rushed upstairs and yelled, “Homewrecker Hylda lost the baby!”
Vermont followed behind her and said, “Keep your voice down, will you?”
Felicity hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, “Hylda had a miscarriage. The nurses said it was a
boy. Albert is downstairs crying like his own parents just died.”
Ste and Keegan exchanged nces, and thetter suggested, “Should we go take a look?”
Ste hesitated. “I don’t think I should go. She might suspect something.”
“You not being there would be even more suspicious. Come on. It’ll be fine.”
Convinced by his reasoning, Ste decided to go and check on Hylda.
Hylda had just finished surgery, and she looked pale. Due to the blood loss on her way to the hospital,
she was currently receiving a blood transfusion.
Albert was at the side, looking dejected. ‘How could this have happened..? ” he said.
Hylda gently held his hand. Her eyes were red, as she said, “I’m sorry. I failed to protect our child,
Albert.”
Albert was filled with anguish over the loss of his son and could not help but scold Hylda, “Why did you
go to the gazebo that was so high up, knowing your condition? Don’t you know your limit?”
Hylda’s face flushed red upon hearing that. She could not believe that Albert cared about the loss of his
son more than her.
Ian frowned and said, “Do you think my sister feels good about losing the baby, Albert? She just
underwent a miscarriage and is in a weak state. So, shut up. Her health should be our priority.”
Albert did not have much affection for his brother-inw. He did not appreciate how Ian had relied on
Hylda for financial support during his entrepreneurial endeavors. Albert was also unhappy that he was
not able to gain some benefits from Ian now that he was part of the Moore family. When Ian married
into the Moore family, the only thing Albert got was a gift from Irene.
“Don’t tell me what to do. I’m well aware of the situation,” Albert retorted.
“Uncle Ian is just concerned about mom. The child would be fine if it weren’t for that wench. Don’t vent
your anger on the wrong person, dad.” Sophia immediately defended her uncle.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Olivia stood there with a fruit basket and asked, “Is Mrs.
Jewell okay? Is the baby safe?”
The atmosphere in the room grew even more intense.
Albert did not respond to her question. Instead, he stood up and said, “Mrs. Chapman, what brings you
here?”
“I was worried about Mrs. Jewell after the incident on my property. I also brought a copy of the
surveince footage since I thought you might want to take a look, Mr. Jewell,” Olivia exined in a
warm voice.
Upon hearing that, Hylda froze.
