"We're not fighting. He agreed to give me a part of his wealth after we're divorced. Why would I fight with him? Money is money, right?""Then, are you going back home now?""No, I'm going to the hospital," Stella said, "The caretaker told me that my mom moved a little this morning, and it seems like she's getting better. So, I want to spend more time talking to her and hopefully, I can wake her up sooner.""I'll drive you.""It's fine. I'm going to take a cab." Stella waved her hands at her and said, "You should sleep early.Rainee was still lying on the bed as usual. What Stella told Felicity was a lie.She just wanted to stay beside Rainee when she felt wronged just like old times. She would feel very at ease even though Rainee could not console her.The doctor always told her to talk to Raine more, but she just could not come up with a topic. Stella had never really talked to her growing up.She tried to talk about what happened in the past to recall her memories, just to r
It seemed like that was the only occurrence in common when Rainee had a reaction.The doctor noted down what the caretaker said in Rainee's medical record before he said, "Perhaps we can continue to stimulate her sense by doing this. However, don't play it for too long. Observe her when you do that next time and notify us right away if there's a reaction.""Sure, thanks."Stella looked at the cassette after the doctors left.The cassette was very old, and most of the words on it were scrapped off. Stella could only see the word "Opera Master" on it."Miss, do you remember which cassette was playing when my mom had a reaction last time?""I can't really recall, but I can remember a small part of it. I can hum it to you."Stella waited eagerly.The caretaker immediately asked after she hummed it, "How was it? Can you recognize which one it was? This is the part I remember the most!"Stella kept quiet.The caretaker really did just hum a small part of it without a single word an
Keegan got a little annoyed by her attitude, as his voice became unnoticeably deeper. "Don't your friend have a phone? Was it so difficult for you to just give me a call?""It's not, but I was worried that you might be too busy to pick up. After all..." Stella paused before continuing flatly, "You didn't even have time to let me know that you were leaving."Keegan was speechless.He continued to speak after some time, "Bella got hurt."'He got worried and immediately sent Bella to the hospital because she was hurt. So, he couldn't find the time to notify his legitimate wife about it.'"Oh," Stella looked down as she said calmly, "Is she dead?"Keegan could not help but frown after hearing the mean words Stella said."Stella Jewell, did you have to be so evil?""I was just asking. Why are you so agitated? It's not like she'd die just because I asked that question anyway."Stella spoke as she went around Keegan.Keegan looked at her back for a few seconds before trying to catch
Juno was an offspring of a champion racehorse. The arrogance in its blood just would not allow it to be treated like this. So, the more it was whipped, the more it resisted.The farm owner thought that it was insane, and he was about to euthanize it. However, it broke free and escaped from the owner before it ran amok on the highway.Cordelia was in a car cruising on the highway. She told her driver to stop the car because she was afraid that he might hit Juno.The police arrived at the scene very quickly. Then, they hit Juno with a tranquilizer dart. Even though it was starting to lose consciousness and stumble, it still stood there and looked at everybody aggressively with its untamed gaze while panting.That gaze immediately moved Cordelia.Cordelia spent merely one thousand dollars to buy Juno from the farm owner.Everybody wondered what an old woman could do to tame it since even a professional trainer could not manage to do that.However, Juno stared at Cordelia for some t
Then, Stella let go of her hands. "It's done. Mr. Kane, please check if I made your money worth it now."Keegan turned around and looked into the mirror before he said, "I guess."Stella smiled. Then, she wore her shoes and went out while carrying her little handbag.She saw a Mercedes-Benz parked right outside as soon as she left the house. Cordelia's personal driver, Baldwin Clint was standing right beside it. He greeted Stella politely when he saw her. "Good morning, Mrs. Kane. Madam told me to pick you up."Stella could not stand it after listening to how courteous a fifty-year-old man talked to her. So, she quickly said, "Thank you, Baldwin."Baldwin made a U-turn after Stella got in the car, but he did not drive away.Stella was about to ask him what he was waiting for, but she saw Keegan walking toward the car. Then, he opened the door and got inside too.Stella immediately frowned. "Why don't you drive your own car? We're not going to pass by your office while going to g
Marshall kept quiet.Ariel continued to speak emotionally, "I should've gotten myself a daughter, so I can make Keegan my son-in-law."Marshall could not help but say, "Keegan is already married.""I know. Keegan is such a perfect man. Why would his grandmother find him a wife like her? They don't go well with each other at all.""Irene and her ex-husband went very well with each other but look at how they ended up. She got herself a new boyfriend now, and she's so much happier.""Your grandfather spoiled your aunt too much. No one can control her." Ariel's head hurt when she talked about Irene. Then, she said to Marshall, "When are you going to visit Mrs. Kane Sr.? She misses you very much after you went overseas. Pay her a visit now that you're back."Marshall nodded."Did Aurora talk to you recently?"Marshall knew exactly what Ariel was trying to do as he directly avoided that topic. "I have work to do now. I'll talk to you later."Then, he hung up without waiting for Arie
Cordelia would always be a respected elder to her, even though she might not be a part of the Kane family anymore.Half an hour later, Stella's eye twitched after looking at how full the cart was.And, Keegan just would not stop stuffing more items into it.He had never really been to the supermarket. To be more precise, he had never really bought anything for himself.Stella did not want to say anything about it, but she could not hold herself back anymore after he put two big boxes of nuts into the cart."Do you think grandma's teeth are strong enough to chew these?"Keegan paused. "Macadamia nuts are not that hard, right?""Grandma doesn't really like to eat nuts."Then, she took out the things he had stuffed into the cart. "These pastries are too sweet. Grandma has diabetes. Are you trying to kill her? Get something with no sugar in it instead! Look at the ingredients of this yogurt; it's heavily processed and grandma would never eat anything like this. And, she doesn't lik
Keegan went to the washroom after shopping while Baldwin carried the bags to the car.Stella was about to check her phone when Keegan was not around, but she was attracted by something in a poster when she passed by a jewelry store. A bangle that the female model wore looked very beautiful."Miss, you should try it on if you like it. We have plenty of other designs."The salesperson was very enthusiastic.Stella looked in the washroom's direction and could not see Keegan anywhere, so she went into the store.It was still early in the morning, and the store looked like it had just opened. The other salespeople working in the store were still putting the pieces of jewelry on display, but more and more customers had already started to come in.Stella went straight to the platinum section to check out the bangles.The salesperson followed her and asked, "Miss, are you buying it for yourself or for a friend?"Stella looked at the items inside the glass counter and responded flatly,
