Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 There's No Heir to Inherit

"Stella, your health is somewhat delicate, and you've gone through a fairly uncommon pseudo-pregnancy this time. However, there's no reason for concern. You can still become pregnant with proper care. Moreover, there's something else..."

Aiden handed her a medical examination report.

The name on the report was Henry.

"First, I want to offer my sincerest apologies for this situation. Mr. Taylor had previously undergone a medical examination at my clinic. A few of the medical interns under my supervision inappropriately acquired and analyzed certain blood samples without the appropriate authorization. These blood samples included both yours and Mr. Taylor's."

"This was a grave breach of hospital regulations, and the interns involved have faced disciplinary actions. Nonetheless, upon reviewing the identification report they submitted, it indicates that... there is no blood relation between you and Mr. Taylor!"

Stella's ears buzzed, and her mind went blank.

...

Noah dashed up the stairs, scanning the crowd with increasing desperation for the petite figure.

As he hurried onward, he unexpectedly crossed paths with Aiden exiting his office.

"Where's Stella?"

"I had a nurse escort her to the rest area."

"What happened exactly?" Noah felt his anxiety intensify, beads of sweat forming on his nose.

Aiden proceeded to provide a brief account of the entire situation.

Noah found himself stunned after hearing it, rendering him momentarily speechless.

"Could it possibly be a mistake?"

"At first, I thought the same. I considered the possibility of a mix-up or an oversight by the students due to the large number of blood samples." He then whispered, "That's why I conducted a second identification personally, leaving no margin for error."

Noah furrowed his brow. "What about the labels on the blood samples..."

"The labeling is carried out by a specialist, and it is done immediately after drawing each person's blood."

With the rigorous procedures in place, the likelihood of an error involving the blood samples appeared exceedingly improbable.

Furthermore, Aiden had taken the precaution of personally conducting the identification, leaving no room for mistakes.

"So... Stella isn't Henry's biological daughter?"

Aiden nodded in response.

Noah wore a complex expression, and his gaze drifted toward the rest area. The door to the rest area was slightly ajar, and he could catch a faint glimpse of the petite figure resting on the couch. Her slender back exuded vulnerability.

He clenched his fists, not knowing what to say to her after he entered.

"Liam." Aiden observed Noah's fluctuating emotions. "You... you're not going to change your attitude toward Stella just because of her family background, are you? Even if she isn't the daughter of the Taylor family, she genuinely loves you!"

"You're overthinking it," Noah responded in a subdued tone.

If he prioritized family lineage, he would not be in his current situation.

He pursed his lips, maintaining a stern countenance, yet his profound eyes conveyed a hint of tenderness.

Noah stepped into the room and enfolded her in a gentle embrace.

Stella was startled but swiftly found solace in the warmth of his arms, listening to the familiar heartbeat.

"Darling..." After a brief moment of quivering, she eventually spoke these words, her voice tinged with a blend of emotions. Her heart swelled with a tumultuous array of feelings.

He knows, doesn't he? What will he think of me?

She, too, considered her current circumstances utterly preposterous.

Stella was not a Taylor family scion, yet she had endured years of humiliation and censure without any reason.

Perhaps Amelia and Madison had never fathomed that the source of their torment over the years bore no ties to the Taylor family whatsoever, but had Henry truly remained oblivious to this?

If so, why had Madison occasionally resorted to labeling her an "illegitimate child" during their past confrontations?

In hindsight, the term "illegitimate child" appeared more than a mere emotional outburst. However, it now seemed to have been founded on factual grounds.

Stella pondered whether she and Samuel were indeed the offspring of unidentified fathers.
