NovelEnglishChapter 22 Celia Meets Stephanie
"She's broke now, and her biological parents are hicks from a poor town. In the end, your family will have to
compensate the child's parents for her." Stephanie pursed her lips and glanced at Lawson.
Abbey continued to say, "What's more, you'd called Lawson at that tLawson called someone he knew in this
hospital. Without her, the child might be saved." Stephanie thought, "That's right. How could that nosy old man
scoldso harshly? That's just rude."
Lawson also felt disrespected at that time, and Abbey's words soothed his wounded ego. He was still staring at
Myrna, but his gaze turned cold. He turned his head and said to Stephanie gently, "Let's go. My mom and your
parents have arrived. They're waiting for us outside."

Stephanie had spotted them already. The three had cover as soon as possible. The two members of the
Herring family were gone, leaving only Luther, Leann, and Celia.

Immediately, Stephanie beamed at Celia sweetly and said, "Hello, Mrs. Cooper."
She addressed her parents after greeting Celia. "Hello, Dad, Mom."
Abbey and the other girl who cto the hospital with her were both her sidekicks. They weren't from wealthy
families and grew timid once they saw Luther, who was a big shot and made a frequent appearance on the local
financial news. Gone were the impudent girls who badmouthed Myrna. They stood on the side nervously, smiling
flatteringly.
Luther didn't even spare them a glance and strode over. He looked at Stephanie before turning to Lawson. He
smiled and patted Lawson's arm. "I heard that Stephie suddenly didn't feel well. Good thing that you were with
her." Chapter 22
Lawson was polite, as Luther was his girlfriend's father. "Mr. Stark, Stephie is my girlfriend. It's my job to take
care of her."
"What a nice young man. | think | can trust you with Stephie."
"You flattered me, Mr. Stark."
"Alright. Since we're family now, I'll drop the courtesy." Luther was confident that Lawson would be his future
son-in-law and was pleased about it.
On the other hand, Celia kept an indifferent attitude and merely glanced at Lawson, a glint of dissatisfaction in
her eyes. Still, she said nothing.
In her opinion, the Cooper family was one of the four big families in Melcester. Although they weren't the top
family, they were more influential than a newly rich family like the Stark family.
Her ideal daughter-in-law should be someone with equal social status. It would be best if Lawson could find a
wife who was from one of the top

families.
She thought Stephanie and her family weren't good enough for them. However, Lawson's precious girlfriend was
an imposter and actually was a hick. In this case, although she believed Lawson should find a better girl,
Stephanie was a better choice than Myrna. They weren't going to get married anytsoon anyway. Since
Lawson liked Stephanie and wanted to date her, Celia wouldn't object. When he wanted to marry Stephanie,
Celia would sit him down and talk to him.

Luther kept on talking to Lawson. Leann noticed the weariness on Stephanie's face and said to Luther, "OK. We
can talk more after we get home. Stephie has class tomorrow."
Luther laughed and patted his head while saying apologetically, "It's my fault. | lost myself when | saw Lawson.
Con. Let's go home.
As soon as he said that, he saw Myrna out of the. corner of his eye and immediately furrowed his

brows.
He said to the rest of the crowd, "Go. I'll catch up with you later."
Celia didn't see Myrna. Sick of the stink of disinfectant in the hospital, she didn't care why Luther suddenly
changed his mind and just said to Leann amicably, "Mrs. Stark, let's go."
Leann was longing for Stephanie to marry into a rich family like the Cooper family. Naturally, she accepted
Celia's friendly gesture and held Celia's arm, leading the group out of the hospital.
