Chapter 1880

Author: Eleven Jewell
Vermont chatted with Felicity for a while, gradually learning about what happened that night. He felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, and he reached out to pat her head. "You must take me with you next time. Your brother only bullies you because you're short. Let's see if he dares to do anything with me around."

Felicity snorted, "Well, I did give him a shoulder throw. They should know that I'm—ouch!

"...that I'm a powerful woman."

Vermont held her up and whispered, "Stop talking. Just rest and save your energy."

Felicity closed her eyes. "Coming to the hospital to roast my butt on New Year's is truly embarrassing."

"At least it's not hemorrhoid surgery," Vermont chuckled.

"Get lost!"

Vermont stood up and said, "I'll go get you some water."

"Kay."

Once Vermont left, he knocked his head and thought, 'Damn! She's so fair!'

Meanwhile, Darcie had just finished cooking the pierogies when Keegan arrived.

Trevor opened the door, saw Keegan, and gave him a once-over. "Did the gas

    Stella chuckled, "Maybe next time. It takes a few hours for the gelatin to set. How about chicken noodle soup? We have some chicken soup left.""It's all the same if you're cooking. I look forward to tasting your creation," Marshall replied warmly.Keegan snorted and muttered, "He's both ignorant and fearless, hah."No one else heard what he said, as his voice was soft and the TV was blaring.However, Stella was standing behind him and vaguely caught something. So, she asked, "What did you say?"Keegan paused momentarily and said, "I said it lacks vinegar, seasoning, and taste."'Was that really what he said?' Stella pursed her lips and observed him for a few seconds before she headed to the kitchen.Since Marshall had spoken, she did not want to ruin his mood on New Year's Eve.Once Stella left, Jaylene took the opportunity to sit next to Keegan and poured him some tea.Marshall glanced at Keegan, who was eating with his head down. He did not display any particular reaction t

    Jaylene handed Keegan a towel and said, "Here, wipe your hands."Keegan took it and thanked her.Jaylene stood by his side and admired his features. The closer they became, the more she liked him.She tightened her grip on her hands and whispered, "Keegan, is your recovery almost complete?"Keegan nodded.Jaylene bit her lip. "Are you... going to divorce Stella?"Keegan's movements did not pause. While wiping his hands, he said, "She's assisting me in recovering my memory. It's inappropriate to bring up the divorce now."Jaylene was taken aback. "I thought you..."She did not continue, but Keegan asked, "Thought I what?"Jaylene quickly lowered her eyes and shook her head. "It's nothing."Fortunately, Keegan did not press further. When he handed her the towel, he took something out of his pocket and gave it to her. Then, he said, "Happy New Year."Stella was on her way to the bathroom, and she overheard Keegan's words.She stopped in her tracks and observed the situation di

    Keegan nodded. "The hairpin does look good."Stella was at a loss for words.'Jaylene was clearly asking if she looked good and not the hair accessory.'Jaylene, however, did not mind at all. In fact, she seemed delighted."Jaylene, did the police contact you recently?" Keegan casually inquired.Still immersed in the joy of Keegan giving her a gift for the very first time, Jaylene instinctively replied, "No. Why?""It's nothing," Keegan replied casually. "A few days ago, they came to ask me about the day of the incident. They asked me how I was rescued. I still don't have any memories of it, so I can't provide the police with useful clues. You found me alone that day, right?"Jaylene's fingers suddenly tightened. Without lifting her head, she replied, "I heard from the police that you were in the area, so I took a cab there. When I found you, you were already on the shore. So, I had the driver help me get you into the car.""You got the information from the police?" Keegan paus

    Keegan pulled out a chair and sat next to Stella.Marshall chuckled, "That's just him being picky and not appreciating your cooking. It's clearly delicious."Stella gave him a thumbs up. "You got good taste!"Jaylene had initially planned to sit beside Keegan. But, before she could, Trevor cast a glance at her and asked, "Jaylene, what happened to your face?"Jaylene looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"Others turned their attention to her.Her makeup had been smudged. The foundation and contour on her face were uneven. She looked as though she had been in a fight.Darcie frowned. "Your makeup is ruined, and you didn't notice?"Trevor opened the camera app on his phone to show Jaylene her current appearance.Jaylene's expression turned ugly. She glared at Stella, gritted her teeth, and said, "Stella, my makeup is ruined. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"Stella was taken aback.With Keegan as her backing, Jaylene now dared to confront S

    When Keegan offered to take care of Stella's drink, she immediately sensed Wenham and Trevor exhale with relief.Marshall chuckled, "We can call an Uber later. Come on. It's New Year's Eve."Keegan glanced at him and said, "Like you said, it's New Year's Eve. We should let the Uber drivers rest."Initially, this statement appeared logical. However, it revealed several discrepancies upon closer examination. Individuals seeking rest would not actively take ride orders, while those who were motivated to earn more income would likely welcome the opportunity.However, Keegan did not give Marshall time to react. He directly lifted the glass and finished it in one gulp.Stella sat nearby and watched without intervening.Upon seeing this, Marshall chuckled again and downed his glass as well.Stella picked up the bottle and poured everyone another round. "Make a toast to Marshall on my behalf. I wish him a successful career and a wonderful love life in the new year."Keegan looked at th

    The baby in the photo was tiny and wrinkled. And, she was wrapped tightly in a blanket. Her skin was red, but it was clear that she was well-nourished in the womb. Even though she was just born, her face looked plump. Her eyes were closed, and she was sleeping soundly."Is this me?" Stella was genuinely surprised. "I can't recognize myself at all.""I can see it. Your mouth and brows resemble mine, and your eyes and hair resemble your mother's. Your nose is exactly the same as your mom's, too," said Wenham.Stella listened quietly to Wenham's description. She was particularly curious about how her father could tell they had similar eyebrows when it was almost nonexistent in the pictures."I think her eyebrows look more like The Mystic Duo," someone interjected.Everyone was taken aback.Stella's face darkened when she recalled that The Mystic Duo from a popular TV show had no eyebrows.Marshall and Trevor also caught on to the joke.However, Wenham did not understand. "What do

    Keegan had never called Stella "Honey" let alone held her hand after his return. When he did so, Stella's heart pounded with a mix of emotions. 'It seems like he remembers me. But, why is he pretending like he doesn't?' Her mind was in turmoil.Keegan would not pretend not to remember her for no reason. There must be a reason behind his actions, but Stella could not discern what it might be.She realized if they stayed any longer, Keegan would undoubtedly reveal more than he intended in his intoxicated state.So, Stella claimed to feel a bit unwell and informed Wenham that she wanted to leave.Thinking that it was due to the discomfort caused by her pregnancy, Wenham expressed his concern. "You should rest upstairs for a while if you're not feeling well."Stella shook her head. "That's okay, dad. I just had too much to eat. Plus, Keegan's grandma called and urged us to go over there, so I can't stay."Before Wenham could respond, Marshall said, "How about we leave together? My co

    Stella did not head toward the bridge at Lumi River. Instead, she drove straight to the riverside.After stopping the car, Stella unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at Keegan.Keegan felt that the car had stopped and opened his eyes. "Are we home?" he asked.Stella's eyes deepened. She shook her head and replied in a low voice, "No."Keegan furrowed his brows and whispered, "Hurry up. I want to sleep."Stella unfastened his seatbelt and said, "Answer a few questions, and I'll take you home."Keegan looked at her in confusion. "What are the questions?"Stella stared into his eyes and asked, "First of all, who am I?"Keegan pursed his lips and remained silent.Meanwhile, Stella narrowed her eyes. "Don't you want to go home and sleep?"Keegan whispered, "Stella."Stella's eyes darkened. "That's not how you addressed me earlier at my house."Keegan did not speak.Stella ground her teeth, as she was irritated that he was being difficult despite being intoxicated. "Can't

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
