Chapter 1565

Stella was not completely useless. She took meticulous care of the plants around the house and even used to

prepare meals for Keegan, although she eventually stopped.

Keegan lifted his gaze and said indifferently. "I doubt you misunderstood the intention behind my remarks back

then. You're twisting my words on purpose, aren't you?"

Dahlia's expression wavered when she heard that. "It was genuinely hard to discern just how much you cared for

her at that time. I thought you were merely following your grandmother's wishes."

"Grandma never coerced me into marrying anyone. She's not like you; she respects my choices. From the moment

I first brought Stella before you, you held a disdain for her. Don't use my perceived disinterest to justify your

actions. Even if I didn't harbor affection for her, she was my wife back then. As an elder, you should've shown the

respect and care that's due. Grandma didn’t like you either, but she still defended you in front of others and

granted you the dignity you deserved."

Dahlia's face darkened, and her eyes were now tinged with red.

"Yes, I didn't like her, but everything I did was all for you. Without a powerful in-law, how would you win in this

election alone? How would you fulfill your father's legacy...?"

"I'll pursue what I desire on my own. I don't need a woman to pave my way."

Keegan continued with a stern expression, "You never gave me what I want. Yet, you take away what I achieve. Your

talk about looking out for me is merely to smooth the path for you and become the esteemed Mrs. Kane!"

Dahlia's lips trembled, and her voice was hoarse. "Is this how you truly think of me?"

Keegan clenched his fists. "Tell me, where were you the day the lab on caught fire? You knew it was extremely

hazardous, yet you took Aurora there with you. Why didn't you keep an eye on her?!'

Dahlia's face turned pale instantly. She trembled, as she spoke. "Are you blaming me for your father's death?"

"Yes." Keegan did not deny it this time, and he spoke in a deep tone. "She was just five years old and unaware of

anything. My father instructed you to take her to the lounge and wait. You were asked to watch over her. How did

she end up in the lab? The fire wouldn't have happened if she hadn't accidentally touched the equipment. Dad

managed to escape with me, but you told him Aurora was missing. It was such a massive fire, yet he rushed back in

without

hesitation... Where were you at that time? Where were you?"

Keegan's emotions became highly agitated as he spoke, and his hand could not stop trembling.

The most agonizing aspect of it all was not his father's state in the fire but rather his father's death. In reality,

Quentin did

not suffer many burns. He emerged unscathed, and everyone believed he was fine. But, after a few hours, he

began struggling to breathe.

When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor explained that he had inhaled an excessive amount of harmful

chemicals, resulting in severe lung burns. His entire respiratory system had collapsed beyond recovery.

Keegan watched his father lay on the hospital bed, enduring immense pain as his life slipped away bit by bit. It was

a nightmare that would haunt him for the rest of his days.

Cordelia did not hold Aurora responsible for Quentin's death. He had saved the child at the risk of his own life. It

was not her granddaughter's fault. So, after Quentin's death, Cordelia forbade anyone from mentioning the matter

again.

However, Keegan, who witnessed the tragedy firsthand, never forgot what happened.

Dahlia's complexion grew even paler when she heard his son's words. "Would you have preferred that I was the one

who died that day?" she asked in a hoarse tone.

Keegan did not respond to the pointless question.

Regardless of his answer, his father could not be brought back to life.

"I went to the car to grab your dad's lunch, and Aurora wasn't willing to come with me. So, I instructed someone to

watch over her. How would I have known she'd run into the lab? Do you think I wasn't grieving when your father

died? He was my husband! Without him, your sister and I endured so much as a widow and an orphan for all those

years. Why would I intentionally harm him?"

Keegan's tone remained insensible. "Only you know the truth. IV

He glanced at the time and calmly stated, "Take good care of yourself. When you're discharged, I'll hire someone

else to look after you. Let's not discuss the family ties between us anymore. It's better if we just talk about money."

Keegan pulled a debit card from his wallet and placed it on Dahlia's bedside table. "The password is dad's birthday.

Hope you get well soon." With that, he turned away without glancing at her and left the ward.
