Stella thought, 'Or, did he heal faster after Bella bandaged his wound?'

Stella had a lot of questions. But, before she could ask, she heard Keegan's voice from the other end of the phone. "Who told you I want to talk to her? Don't take matters into your own hands!"

Stella was at a loss for words.

Aldor smiled. "Please don't be upset. Mr. Kane wasn't yelling at you. He wasn't feeling well when he came in this morning. He had a fever. I tried to persuade him to see a doctor in the hospital, but he insisted on waiting until we finished our work. The pain must have gotten to him, making him short-tempered. If you have the time, could you swing by the office? Mr. Kane forgot his medicine."

"What nonsense are you talking to her?" Keegan interrupted. As soon as Stella heard Keegan's words, the guilt she felt just moments ago had vanished.

Stella forced a smile and said, "Keegan sounds perfectly fine to me. He must be feeling better since he can start working. Besides, he won't let the p

    Stella thought that the messages would contain some offensive words she could screenshot and show to Marshall. She figured that it would help with the lawsuit. But, when she opened the conversation tab, she was stunned.The message sender claimed to be Bella's manager, hoping that Dusk Galaxy could participate in the variety show, "The Sound of Film and Television".Stella received this invitation not long after she had turned down the offer. She was impressed by how resourceful Bella was.Stella scrolled down the message to read on. The sender talked about Dusk Galaxy's previous social media post that aimed to clarify the rumors about the voice-acting role in Honor of the Deities. "He" pointed out that the post had caused some misunderstandings, but Bella was willing to let it go, assuming that it was not Dusk Galaxy's intention."He" also emphasized that the success behind Secret Sweetheart was the result of the collaboration between Bella and Dusk Galaxy, which was significant t

    Bella seethed internally, 'I tried to extend an olive branch, but you've made your choice.'...Meanwhile, as soon as Stella turned off the Facebook app on her phone, Aldor's call came in.She frowned as she thought, 'It's late. Why are they bothering me now?" She chose not to answer, not because it was Aldor calling, but because the call was likely related to Keegan. And, Stella did not want to deal with him.Despite Stella's refusal to answer, Aldor's calls persisted. So, the phone rang incessantly.Eventually, the caretaker could not stand it anymore and said, "Stella, why don't you answer? What if it's an emergency?""What emergency?" Stella huffed before begrudgingly picking up the phone."Madam, Mr. Kane has a fever of 39 degrees. Do you have any fever-reducing medicine at home?"Stella sat up in surprise. "What's the point of taking medicine at such a high temperature? Take him to the hospital right away!""Mr. Kane refuses to go. I can only get him some medicine to bri

    Stella's heart sank as Keegan's words planted the seed that made her begin to lose hope of winning his love.Despite knowing that Keegan had only married her under duress and was in love with another, Stella's youthful confidence led her to believe that since they were already married, it was just sooner or later that she could win him over and have him all by herself.But, it was all a delusion — that other person remained in Keegan's heart. No matter how hard she tried or how well she did, there would never be a place for her in his heart.She recalled that Keegan began to talk nonsense as his temperature rose to 38 degrees at that time.This time, his temperature was very high. Stella doubted that it was lower than last time. Most likely, the fever was caused by wound inflammation. No matter how many grudges Stella held against him, she did not want anything to happen to him. So, after a short thought, she said goodbye to the caretaker and left.After Aldor hung up the phone, h

    Stella felt both anger and amusement as she looked at Keegan. He was like the stray cat that used to hang around her childhood home. She had fed it for almost six months, but one day she accidentally kicked it in the head while she was opening the door. After that, the cat would never let her touch it. Every time she tried to pet it, the cat would move its head to avoid her, just like Keegan was doing now.Although she could not catch the stray cat, Stella knew how to deal with Keegan. She stared at him for a few seconds, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed to straddle him. She reached for his shirt, which surprised Keegan and caused him to struggle as soon as he regained his senses.Normally, Stella might not be able to hold him down. But, now that he was burning with a fever, he was as weak as a sick cat. It did not take long for Stella to unbutton his shirt, revealing his bare chest."Stella, do you have no shame?!" Keegan shouted.Perhaps it was because of Keegan's ang

    Keegan's fever was high. Even a simple movement like that had already exhausted him so much that he was panting hard and spewing hot breath.'He's sick as hell, yet he's still acting so insolent.' Stella wanted to laugh. But, she was certain that if she did that, Keegan would strangle her even if he did not skin her alive.'Why bother being angry with a patient?' Thinking of this, she sighed and spoke softly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kane. Please don't be angry. You have a high fever, and you refuse to take medicine or go to the hospital. I'm just worried about your health.""Quit trying to fool me. If you were worried about me, why didn't you come home for two days? I bet you wish that I would have brain damage so you could take your share of my wealth and leave. Stella, there is no woman in this world who is better at lying than you!"'You bastard. Not only did you call me selfish, but you also called me a liar?! If you weren't sick, I would have kicked you off the bed by now!' After curs

    Stella thought that Keegan was deliberately clinging to her. But, she realized that she had misunderstood him as soon as he said, "Me too."Stella said resignedly, "You first."Keegan got up from the bed. But, as soon as he stood up, his feet went wobbly, and he was about to fall to the ground.Luckily, Stella reacted quickly. She grabbed his collar and pulled him back, so he fell on the bed instead.The fever reducer that Stella had given Keegan had a particularly strong effect. She herself had taken it once and quickly felt drowsy and weak.She thought to herself, 'Judging from his state, I guess the medicine has already kicked in.' So, she said, "I'll get Aldor to help." As she spoke, she tried to get up, but Keegan held her down."No, don't go!" Keegan yelled.Stella then explained, "But, I can't move you alone."He gave a determined stare and refused to let Aldor come. At that moment, his face was red.Stella was a little late when she realized, 'Keegan cares a lot about

    After Stella had bandaged his wound, Keegan had already fallen asleep.She put away the first-aid kit and pondered a bit before lying down next to Keegan.Every half an hour, Stella would get up to check Keegan's temperature. At two in the morning, Keegan's temperature finally dropped to 38 degrees. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and fall asleep as she could not stay up any longer.The next day when Keegan woke up, he felt much better, except for his shoulder, which felt like there was a heavy rock on it.He frowned and opened his eyes, wanting to push whatever was on his shoulder. But, before he could touch it, he saw Stella's sleeping face. He could not help but recall what had happened in the bathroom last night.After staring at Stella for a long time, he slowly moved his outstretched hand and moved her head aside.Keegan looked at Stella with disgust as soon as he felt the wet drool on his shoulder. He then picked up a blanket and clumsily covered her wit

    "What?" Felicity did not understand what Stella meant."Well, sometimes Sophia's methods can be pretty effective," said Stella.Felicity was still trying to figure out the meaning of Stella's sentence. Soon, she saw Stella's countermove.After half an hour, Dusk Galaxy posted on Facebook, [Nothing in the world is as mean as the human heart.] Just ten minutes later, she posted again, [All work suspended indefinitely.] And ten minutes after that, she took down all of her Facebook posts and deactivated her account, quitting the platform entirely. Shortly thereafter, some netizens discovered that she had not only deactivated her Facebook account, but all of her social media accounts. Soon, the topic "Dusk Galaxy Quits Social Media" climbed to the top of the trending list in just a few minutes.Dusk Galaxy did not offer any explanation for Kelly's interview or respond to any of the netizens' questions. With just the phrase "as mean as the human heart" as her farewell message, she had co

    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
