Chapter 224
Stella’s heart sank as Keegan’s words planted the seed that made her begin to lose hope of winning his
love.
Despite knowing that Keegan had only married her under duress and was in love with another, Stella’s
youthful confidence led her to believe that since they were already married, it was just sooner or later
that she could win him over and have him all by herself.
But, it was all a delusion
that other person remained in Keegan’s heart. No matter how hard she tried or how well she did, there
would never be a place for her in his heart.
She recalled that Keegan began to talk nonsense as his temperature rose to 38 degrees at that time.
This time, his temperature was very high. Stella doubted that it was lower than last time. Most likely, the
fever was caused by wound inflammation. No matter how many grudges Stella held against him, she did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot want anything to happen to him. So, after a short thought, she said goodbye to the caretaker and left.
After Aldor hung up the phone, he found the fever reducer. He poured a glass of water and brought it
upstairs.
Keegan was lying on the bed with one hand on his forehead. His brows were furrowed, his face was
pale, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.
Aldor softly said, “Mr. Kane, you should take medicine.” Then, he added, “Madam asked me to take your
temperature half an hour later to see if the medicine worked. If your fever starts to go down, you won’t
need to go to the hospital.”
Keegan opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice. “Who told you to call her?”
Due to his weakened state, his voice was soft. So, even if he was angry, he did not sound intimidating.
Aldor replied, “I couldn’t find any fever reducers, and your fever is too severe.”
Keegan pursed his lips and paused for a moment before he asked, “What else did she say?”
“She told you to take the medicine,” Aldor answered. “She’s very worried about you.”
Even Aldor himself could not believe the lie he had just told, let alone Keegan. There was a long silence
before Keegan spoke. His voice was cold and hard. “Get out!”
“Mr. Kane, please take the medicine,” Aldor implored.
Keegan’s anger flared up, and he spoke in a solemn tone. “Get out!” he repeated.
Aldor did not dare to say anything else. He placed the fever reducer on the bedside table and left the
room. When he considered calling Cordelia, he was interrupted by the sound of a car engine outside.
Aldor froze for a moment before hurrying downstairs, where he saw Stella enter the house carrying a bag
of medicine. When she saw Aldor, she asked, “How is he doing? Has he taken. the medicine?”
Aldor snapped back to his senses and shook his head. “Mr. Kane refused to take the medicine
and ordered me to leave,” he said.
Stella thought to herself, ‘I knew it!’ before she said to Aldor, “I’ll go upstairs. If you need to rest, there’s a
guest room downstairs. You can rest there for a while. If Keegan’s fever doesn’t subside, we might have
to take him to the hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAldor replied, “It’s okay. I’ll be downstairs. Just call me if you need any help.”
“Thank you,” Stella said before rushing upstairs.
As soon as she opened the bedroom door, a glass was thrown near her feet, shattering into pieces.
Keegan’s annoyed voice rang out. “I said get out!”
After looking at the broken glass near her feet with lingering fears, Stella pursed her lips, as she tried to
recompose herself before she walked in. “We haven’t divorced yet. Where do you expect me to go?
Keegan paused and looked at Stella with resentful red eyes. After a few seconds, he spoke in a cold
voice. “What are you doing here?”
“Aldor told me that you had a fever,” Stella explained. “I came back to check on you and see if you are
delirious. If you are, I might trick you into giving me another 200 million after the divorce.”
“In your dreams!” Keegan spat out through gritted teeth, and his face darkened.
Stella thought to herself, ‘He can still swear. I guess he’s sober.’ She breathed a sigh of relief and
stepped forward to feel Keegan’s forehead. But, Keegan tilted his head to evade her hand and looked at
her with disdain.
