Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Stella was stunned. Her eyes lost their shine, and they gradually reddened. “You’re right. He wouldn’t take any notice of me…”

‘When I almost died in the tracking incident, he was with someone else,‘ Stella thought.

Keegan frowned. He had a strange feeling in his heart.

“What I meant was,” he explained. “Who would fall for a stupid plan like that?”

Stella did not respond again, as if she did not hear what he had just said. She turned her head away and rested it against the car window.

Keegan wanted to say something, but he felt wrong about it.

‘No point talking to a drunkard. No matter what I say, I would be pissed off by her illogical responses.‘ Keegan kept quiet too.

They reached Royalpark Villa not long after that.

Maya heard them from afar and hurried out with an umbrella. When she came out, she saw Keegan carrying someone out of the car.

When she approached them closer with the umbrella, she realized that the person being carried was Stella.

“What happened to Mrs. Kane?”

Keegan did not answer. “Fill up the bathtub,” he ordered.

As he carried Stella up the stairs, Keegan noticed the beads of tears hanging from her eyelashes, and the corners of her eyes were red. She looked like she had just cried.

He tightened his grip on her and pursed his lips.

“Mr. Kane, the bath is ready.”

Maya wanted to lend him a hand, but Keegan avoided her reaching out. “Cook her some soup to get her to sober up.”

Maya’s eyes landed on Stella. Maya hesitated but then obeyed and left.

Maya obeyed, set down the spup, and left the room silently.

Keegan waited until everything was quiet downstairs and set his documents aside.

He glanced at the soup that was set on the table and took it to the window. Then, he pushed the window open and poured the soup out.

Stella did not rest well, as nightmares infested her sleep. She would dream of the car accident back then, and the despair she felt as she was trapped under the car, unable to move at all.

Then, she dreamed of an impregnated Bella marrying Keegan. In her dream, Stella rushed up to Keegan and questioned him. But, Keegan coldly pulled her hand off and told her to stop badgering him.

She took a step back in disbelief. However, the ground beneath her feet went empty, and she fell into the abyss beneath her…

Stella felt a sharp pain in her chest and woke up abruptly with cold sweat glistening on her forehead. She gasped lightly for air when she realized that it was all just a dream.

Her phone rang. Out of habit, Stella tried to reach around for her phone, but her hand did not find it.

She fumbled upon a hard piece of something, frowned, and subconsciously squeezed it. The low voice of a man spoke from beside her ear. “How does it feel?”
