Chapter 59 Stella Is My Adopted Daughter
“Although she drank some alcohol, fortunately, she didn’t drink too much. There are no allergic signs on her body.”
The doctor sighed lightly after giving a quick examination on Stella, “There’s no need to have gastric lavage. It will be better to drink some yogurt to relieve the alcohol. It’s not good for the young kid to drink the wine.”
Ralph Chapman raised his head and looked at Sean who was standing at the door.
Sean hurriedly turned around, “I’ll go to buy some yogurt now!”
Lottie crouched down and gently stroke Stella’s back, “Stella, are you okay?”
Stella opened her eyes to look at Lottie, “Mommy…”
Lottie was a bit stunned.
“I wish I could have a Mommy…”
Stella, who was in a daze because of alcohol, hugged Lottie’s hand, “Uncle Alfred said that my parents are still alive, and they’re still looking for me…”
“But where are they…”
Stella said while her tears rolled down her face, “Pretty lady, can you be my Mommy?”
After that, she raised her wet eyes to look at Ralph, “You can be my daddy.”
Ralph slightly frowned but didn’t say anything.
He had no idea why he suddenly felt that… Stella looked like Lottie from some angles.
Stella also had some similarities to Fabian and Elijah.
“Mommy…”
Stella slipped into Lottie’s arms with tears rolling down, “I have Mommy…”
Stella threw her warm and soft body into Lottie’s arms, and Lottie held Stella tightly in her arms.
“Mommy…”
She said and fell into a deep sleep in Lottie’s arm.
When Lottie heard Stella’s even breathing from her arms, she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she put her onto the bed.
When Lottie put her hand out, Stella reached out to hold her, “Mommy, don’t go…”
Lottie pursed her lips and softly reassured her, “Mommy won’t go…”
After saying that, she sat down at the bedside. She took a look at Ralph in embarrassment, “I… can I stay here with her?”
“Yes.”
Ralph pulled a chair over from the other side and hinted her to sit on it, “I’ll stay here with you.”
Ralph’s low voice made Lottie couldn’t help but blush.
She pursed her lips and lowered her voice, “You won’t be annoyed, right?”
After all, Stella was someone who had no relationship with them. This little girl was just a passerby.
At this moment, Ralph was supposed to finish his dinner and go back to his office to work.
But because of her tenderheartedness, he had to waste his time staying here with her.
“I won’t be annoyed.”
Ralph glanced at Stella with his deep eyes, “Actually, I would like to have a daughter.”
Lottie was stunned, and she looked back at him blankly, wondering why he suddenly said that.
He smiled slightly when he saw that she was dumbfounded, “Elijah and Chapman also want a sister.”
He said while he turned his gaze to Lottie’s belly, “That agreement… you’ve already signed it, right?”
Lottie froze for a moment as she suddenly thought of the agreement that Elijah had brought to her earlier.
The agreement said that she had to give Ralph a child in a year!
Lottie’s face instantly flushed!
She hurriedly turned her face away, “This…”
Lottie’s mind went blank and she began to stutter, “I…”
Just when the atmosphere became extremely romantic, the door of the ward opened with a “bang”.
Alfred, who was dressed in costume, pushed the door and strode in anxiously, “Stella!”
Lottie hurriedly made a “silent” gesture, “She is sleeping.”
After saying that, she lifted her head, “Alfred?”
Alfred nodded faintly. He strode in and crouched down to look at Stella’s little face, “How’s she?”
“She’s fine.”
Lottie pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and explained to Alfred the ins and outs, “We were not paying attention at that time. That’s why…”
Alfred frowned, and the expression on his face was serious and cold, “I still have to doubt that you’ve abducted a child.”
Lottie was completely frozen.
Abduct a child?
Alfred indifferently pulled away Lottie’s hand that was holding Stella, “We have already called the police.”
“Mommy…”
When Lottie pulled her hand away, Stella, who was lying on the bed, called out pitifully.
Alfred’s brows drew together in a frown.
Ralph came over and took Lottie in his arms. He said coldly and sarcastically, “Clever parents never lose their children.”
Ralph’s words made Alfred frown harder.
Whether in the Barton family or in the entertainment industry, he was always noble and arrogant. No one had ever dared to say that to him.
He stood up and looked back at Ralph indifferently, “I’ve just been too busy at work.”
There was an electronic music festival in the water park tonight. Before he attended the event, he had asked his manager to look after Stella. However, just as he got onto the stage, his manager couldn’t find Stella.
Alfred was actually shocked because Stella had always been well-behaved. How could she suddenly run out alone?
“Is that so?”
Ralph looked faintly at Alfred with his deep eyes, “I’m always busy, too.”
“But neither of my sons have ever gone missing.”
He said smugly, making Lottie couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
There would be no possibility for that two naughty children to get lost.
It wasn’t fair to compare Elijah and Fabian with Stella.
Alfred frowned and was silent for a moment. Then he snorted, “No one knows whether your words are true or not.”
“Let’s wait for the police.”
Ralph looked faintly at him, “If it’s not us abducting your child, then you’re slandering us.”
“Whatever.”
Alfred held Stella in his arms and said coldly, “As a father, I won’t let you go even if I have made a mistake.”
Alfred’s words made Lottie slightly stun.
Alfred was Stella’s father?
So the little Stella was the illegitimate daughter of Alfred. She was just the girl who was exposed on the Internet a few days ago.
Then, who was her mother?
Lottie was very curious about it.
Alfred frowned as he felt Lottie’s curiosity. He just remembered that Lottie had recognized him when he stepped into this room.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
He slightly sighed, “Stella is my adopted daughter.”
He stroked Stella’s back heartily, “The doctor said she was too small as if she was the youngest of twins or triplets. So, she was abandoned.”
“She is so pitiful. I did everything I could to protect her these years. I don’t want her to get hurt.”
When he finished, he looked Lottie in the eye, “I tell you this because I know that you’ve recognized me.”
“But I hope you won’t tell the media about the matter of Stella.”
“Of course, even if you release this to the public, I’m not afraid, too.”
