"That's not what I said!"Keegan's expression turned ugly, "Can't you just give me some time to think about it?""There's nothing to think about." Stella's gaze was cold, "There's no need for you to come up with another plan. We'll break off the engagement, abort the child, and then both of us will have nothing to do with each other anymore. It's a simple thing; why complicate it?"Keegan was probably angered by her attitude. His face turned even paler, "Stella Hall, that's a life! How could you speak of it as if it's nothing?""What do you want me to do then? Give birth to the child for you, and you give me some money?" Stella continued mockingly, "Actually, that'll work too. Give me your offer. Let's see if it's going to be worth the pain."Keegan's expression turned even more unpleasant.Stella continued, "You promised to give me ten billion if we divorced. Giving birth to a child is definitely going to hurt more than going through a divorce. So, it should be double, right? Ot
Vermont snorted, "If I'm not on your side, I would have waited until she had the abortion before telling you!"Keegan kept a tense face, and his eyes were gloomy.Vermont spoke coldly, "If the child is all you want, I advise you not to provoke her any further. If the child is gone, just accept it. You don't remember her anymore, after all. You can always find someone else to bear your child."Keegan, still frowning, felt a sharp pain in his temples. He forcefully pressed his hands against them. After a long pause, he said, "I... My mind is a mess right now.""How do you really feel about this?" Vermont scrutinized him. "Keegan, out of everyone, Stella is the only person you can't remember. Don't you find it strange?"Keegan kept quiet. It felt like there was a locked area in his brain; whenever he tried to access it, he would experience a splitting headache.His brain was subconsciously resisting Stella, and he could not fully control it.He would instinctively observe Stella's
Felicity said, "My mom said the time you conceived was a very good day. She even told me to bring you and your child back to my hometown so that she can treat the fortune teller to a meal."Then, she continued in a somewhat dejected tone, "If you get an abortion, my mom is not going to have a chance to meet the child."Stella rubbed her temples, "Who said I'm going to get an abortion?""Didn't you just tell Keegan you're going to another hospital to get it done?"Stella sighed, "I just wanted to make him angry.""What?"Stella snorted, "He wanted to marry me just to get a divorce after the child is born. Who does he think I am? Am I just a baby machine to him?"Felicity could not understand, "Stella, isn't that what you wanted all along? Now that he's willing to marry you, shouldn't you be happy? Why would you say that to make him angry?""He's only marrying me because of the child, not because he loves me!"Felicity was puzzled, "Didn't you do everything today just to let him
Felicity was impressed by how quick-witted and smooth Vermont was.Keegan licked his lips, "Well... if you don't want a divorce, we don't have to do it."Stella said coldly, "How generous of you."Keegan kept quiet. He felt extremely puzzled about why he would marry someone with such a sharp tongue.The ward door swung open again when he was about to say something."Stella! Stella!"Cordelia walked in hurriedly, looking anxious. When she saw that Stella was still wearing her patient pants, she put her hand on her chest, "Did I come too late? Is my precious great-grandchild already gone?"She looked like she was about to faint as she spoke. Vermont, standing next to her, immediately supported her, "No, no. The baby is still here."Cordelia immediately felt relieved, "Really?"Vermont nodded, "For now, yeah. The parents are still discussing its fate."Cordelia felt like fainting again upon hearing that.Keegan then walked over, asking, "Grandma, what brought you here?"Cordel
Cordelia held Stella and comforted her for some time.Stella "sobbed" for a long time. She never mentioned Keegan, yet every sentence she spoke was about him.For example, when Cordelia asked, "Tell me. Did Keegan bring you here for the abortion?"Stella would cry and say, "No, he did it for my sake. After all, we're no one to each other now..."Also, when Cordelia said, "Stella, you finally having a baby is such a big matter. Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"Stella would say, "I wanted to tell you about it when I visited you the other day, but I bumped right into Keegan and Jaylene when I arrived..."She did not continue speaking after that, but anyone would think that those two either did or said something to upset her. So, Cordelia went after Keegan again.Keegan became numb to it all. Then, he wondered to himself, 'Why did I manage to get such a cunning and violent woman pregnant?'Could it be true that I'm a masochist?'At that moment, he felt like giving himself
Keegan pursed his lips and said after a long pause, "Sure, we'll do that then."Cordelia held Stella's hand and whispered, "Aren't you worried that he won't recover his memories?"Stella comforted Cordelia, saying, "Grandma, even if he can't remember, I'll make him fall in love with me again. You can rest assured and be prepared to be a great-grandmother."Cordelia felt relieved upon hearing Stella's words.Stella had never had the thought of aborting the child. Everything that had happened today was simply a play staged by Vermont under Felicity's "coercion."Going to Cordelia's home to hint at her pregnancy was Stella's first step in the plan.She did not explicitly say it, but given how cautious Cordelia was, Stella was sure she would investigate and monitor her. Consequently, Cordelia would inevitably appear at the hospital during what was meant to be her "abortion."Keegan still could not remember her and strongly resisted her. Although Cordelia loved him very much, Stella
Cordelia was so sharp that she instantly understood Stella's intention. She sighed, "How come I didn't realize you had so many clever ideas up your sleeve before?"Stella chuckled and said gently yet firmly, "He used to be one who protected me before, and it's time for me to protect him now. Grandma, didn't you always used to say that spouses should always support each other?"A hint of warmth flashed across Cordelia's eyes. After a while, she said, "It seems like choosing the right person to be with is the only thing Keegan's good at."Stella could not agree more.When Keegan returned to the ward, Stella had already changed into her clothes.Cordelia exchanged a few words with Keegan and left with Baldwin. She was in a particularly good mood today and wanted to go to the church and pray for her family.Stella packed her bag slowly. Keegan checked the time and asked, "Can you speed it up a little?"Stella did not listen to him, "You can go first if you're in a hurry."Keegan ha
The general hospital was owned by the local government, so it was always crowded. When the elevator doors opened, it was filled with people.There were patients, people who came to visit their friends and family, and even medical staff. One of the staff urged, "Let them exit the elevator first before entering. Watch your step, and don't push onto other people."After some people exited the elevator, Stella and Keegan were pushed into it by the people behind them.Someone bumped into Stella, causing her to stumble. But in the next second, Keegan wrapped his arm around her waist.His tall stature and stern expression made people instinctively keep their distance from him. So, by leveraging his body and the elevator wall, he created a small space for Stella.Stella stood in front of him, and when she lifted her head, she could see his sharp jawline. She got an idea and immediately wrapped her arms around his waist.Keegan's body stiffened, and he instinctively wanted to push her han
