Coco's eyes lit up, "Really?"Aldor chimed in from the side, "Mr. Kane never lies."Coco immediately rolled her eyes."Every time Aunt Stella calls while he's visiting me, he says he's at his office. Isn't he lying?"Aldor was at a loss for words.'This child can't be easily deceived,' he thought."You're constantly hiding me and keeping me a secret; am I your illegitimate daughter?"Keegan glanced at her, "My daughter wouldn't look this ugly."Coco was speechless.The hospital staff could not help but laugh when they heard the two's conversation.'I've done so many surgeries in the past, but it's my first time seeing such a witty pair of father and daughter,' they thought."Mr. Kane, this wristband is for you. Recently, the hospital has been restricting the access of personnel. If you wear this to the hospital, you won't be stopped from seeing your daughter."Keegan took the wristband and emphasized, "We're not father and daughter.""Huh?"Coco chimed in, "My dad isn't a
The girl was dressed in a young-looking manner and had her hair in a ponytail. She looked in her early 20s at most.Keegan asked, "What did the doctor say?""The doctor said they'll rerun the test after she has a meal and see what her blood sugar levels are like tomorrow morning when she has an empty stomach."The girl paused before she continued, "She doesn't seem like she has any energy right now."Keegan initially wanted to send her away. However, when he thought of the surgery that was in two days, he frowned and got up."Let's go. Take me to see her," he said.As soon as Keegan left, Coco pouted and said, "That bitch is capping again. Every time she shows up, it's either her head or her brain hurts."Aldor chuckled, "Where'd you learn those words?"Coco snorted, "I use social media too, okay? I don't even know what her fans like about her; she's so fake.""She might be the person who'll save your life; you dislike her that much?""That's because Uncle Keegan is a silly,
Stella turned ghostly pale. She asked in a low voice, "Is this Albert's intention?"Hylda laughed, "My intentions are his intentions. Otherwise, why did he hand me his phone? Naturally, your father is still soft-hearted; he's willing to reconcile with you and pay for Rainee's medical expenses based on the prerequisite that you'll hand over all of the evidence you have and never bring up this matter. Don't tell me whatever you have is useless. Even if they are, do you think the Kane family wouldn't mind if you got your father in trouble? Would they still want you? Wake up. It's been many years since the matter, and your parents are divorced. What's the point of you constantly pursuing the matter? If you ask me, I say the matter ends here. Everyone will continue to live peacefully; you'll be the wife of a rich family, and your mother can continue her life support. What do you say?"Hylda's tone was the most hated relative's tone when one went home for New Year's; it reeked of dignified
The phone rang for a while, but nobody answered. Stella hung up the phone. She pursed her lips and called Keegan's number again. However, a woman's cold, robotic voice sounded on the other end."Sorry, the number you are calling is currently busy. Please call again after this..."Stella hung up the phone and threw it aside. Then, she leaned into the chair, stretched her hand, and covered her eyes.'Keegan Kane, why are you never by my side whenever I need you the most?' she thought.In Alodale, Keegan inexplicably jolted awake from his dream. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above. He heard breathing sounds come from Aldor, who was lying in the chair beside him.Keegan stunned. After a while, he suddenly remembered where he was.Earlier, he suddenly dreamed of a multi-car pile-up incident at the North of Rivera City Route 3 Loop flyover two months ago. He saw Stella driving on the flyover with cars in front and behind her. She was sandwiched between the cars while wai
"I've already urged them once during the day, and they're already rushing to finish it. They said it'll be finished in the next two days, so it'll definitely be done before we leave Alodale."'Mr. Kane isn't sleeping at this hour and thinking about this? Recently, he's been so occupied with love that he isn't thinking straight. It's like he's been much more attentive toward Mrs. Kane ever since he learned about her car accident at the flyover. I've worked for Mr. Kane for many years, so I know he's a slow-to-warm-up and cold person. He actually barely even cares or pays attention to Dahlia, the person who birthed him.However, he'd remember what Mrs. Kane said, even if it were just a casual remark. For example, the 3-million-dollar bag, the earrings that were lost at the ball, and now, this expensive necklace. In terms of money, Mr. Kane goes as far as spoiling Mrs. Kane. He is someone who doesn't speak but acts. On the other hand, Mrs. Kane is a sweet talker. In summary, a beautiful
However, the machine beeped after the card got swiped.The staff member said, "Your card got frozen."Stella paled slightly. Then, she took out a different card."This one's also frozen."Stella took out her third card, fourth card... When she finally tried all of her cards, her expression had completely darkened.All of the accounts under her name had gotten frozen by the bank.'Is this Keegan's doing? No. If it were Keegan, he'd only freeze his sub-cards. Why would he freeze my own cards? Then, who is it? Who has this ability?' she wondered.Stella racked her brain and set the target on Dahlia."Are you paying or not? Hurry up."The dependents of other patients who were queuing behind her again urged her. Stella hurriedly apologized."Sorry."Then, she grabbed her cards off the desk and went aside. Stella first called the few banks where she applied for her cards.They gave her vague answers and said someone took relevant procedures and applied for an asset freeze. Howeve
In an instant, the blood drained from Stella's face. She trembled as she held the phone."I'll be there immediately. Call for the doctor first," she said in a slightly trembling voice while playing calm.Rainee's blood pressure dropped rapidly, and her heart rate slowed. Her pupils also showed signs of expansion, which was a really bad sign. After the doctor gave her a checkup, they began giving her injections.The veins on Rainee's hands were incredibly obvious. The walls of her blood vessels were practically sticking together. The nurse failed a few times, trying to stick in the indwelling needle.Stella felt her heart quiver as she watched Rainee's puncture-mark-filled hand. Shortly after, she was wheeled into the operating room.The head nurse brought Stella a consent and waiver of liability and asked her to sign it. Stella's hand trembled as she held the pen. After a while, she finally signed her name crookedly. The nurse took the papers and said, "Quickly go downstairs and p
Felicity did not even have the time to lament her mother's sudden generosity. She hurriedly took the money and went to the hospital to look for Stella.After Stella got Felicity's call, she waited at the hospital entrance. The moment Felicity got out of the car, she saw Stella's frail figure.Her eyes were bloodshot, while her lips were a little paled. Even her usually rosy cheeks were now so pale they were almost translucent. Felicity quickly grabbed Stella and got straight to the point."I brought the money. Go pay the bill first."After Stella transferred money into the account, she brought Felicity upstairs.On the way there, she did not speak. It was as if she had cried out all of her vulnerability when she cried helplessly on the phone. Right now, all that was left was a firm iron wall.In the waiting room, Felicity handed Stella a bottle of water."How long has it been since your mother went in?'Stella took the bottle."Probably 40 to 50 minutes.""It'll be fine.
