Chapter 163
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from the door. “What are you doing?”
Stella paused and turned her head slowly.
At the door of the ward, Keegan was wearing a hospital gown, and his arm was in a sling. He looked at her expressionlessly, and Vermont was next to him in astonishment.
Stella was speechless.
“Keegan!” Aurora rushed over. “You scared me!”
After everyone asked, they found out Keegan was in Room 709 formerly. But the room had poor lighting, which he disliked. So, he switched to 704 in the morning. However, the hospital system still displayed 709 because they had yet to update the system. Hence, a big mistake was made.
Finally, a little color was back on Dahlia’s cheek. “What happened to your arm?”
Vermont answered before Keegan could speak, “He helped the police to catch some guys and was accidentally struck by one of the bad guys last night He was seriously injured and needed seven stitches!”
‘Seven stitches…’ Stella felt a little sorry suddenly
“Why didn’t you make a call when something this big happened? If Aurora hadn’t seen Vermont’s picture in the group, we wouldn’t have known about it until now!”
Stella clasped her hands tightly in each other.
Keegan said flatly, “It’s just a minor injury. I didn’t intend to let you know. He’s the
nosy one.” Vermont took a photo of Keegan lying on the hospital bed while he slept. He planned to send it to their buddies’ group chat, but it ended up in a different group. Someone quickly took at screenshot and sent it to another group. It happened to be seen by Aurora.
Aurora wanted to say something else, but Dahlia interrupted her. “Let’s go back to the ward and talk.” Then, she remained silent.
Aurora wanted to help Keegan, but he avoided her hand. He walked up to Stella and stretched out his uninjured hand.
Stella looked up at his fingers. ‘Except for his arm being in a sling, Keegan’s in good condition. How could he be dying as Vermont said?’
But when Stella thought of his arm taking seven stitches because of her, the feeling of guilt rose again.
From Keegan’s point of view, he saw Stella’s eyes were red with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and the tip of her nose was red too. She broke people’s hearts with her cute sniffles, making him restless.
“Are you planning to do the rites for the first seven days after death for this person?” As soon as Keegan spoke, most of the guilt in Stella’s heart disappeared.
Stella thought viciously, ‘Keegan was probably beaten because of his loose tongue. It has nothing to do with me!’
