“You two would argue, but you never won. In the end, you’d always buy her gifts to make her happy,” Aldor said.
Keegan kept quiet again. But after a while, he could not help but ask, “Did she use some dirty tricks to make me marry her?”
“Not at all. You were the one who went to Mrs. Kane Sr. and said you wouldn’t marry anyone else but her. Mrs. Kane had just graduated from university back then and was forced into a marriage by her stepfather. Actually, it’s you who took advantage of her. After all, she’s so much younger than you. Under normal circumstances, a lady like her would never be with someone of your age.” 2
Keegan was speechless.
“I’m only five years older than her. You’re exaggerating.”
“That’s what Mrs. Kane said, not me.” Aldor could not help but laugh.
Keegan became even more unhappy, ”1 treated her so well back then, and she still complained about me being old.”
“Mrs. Kane was just stating a fact and didn’t mean that you’re old. It’s just that for someone her age getting together with someone your age seems a little—”
“Okay, shut up.”
Keegan’s expression looked both stern and frustrated.
Aldor turned the steering wheel and laughed inwardly.
When Keegan was recovering, it seemed like his rationality and emotions were gradually returning, too. Aldor noticed that Keegan was very resistant to knowing more about Stella when he first returned.
He could not understand why, but in recent days, he had changed a lot.
Aldor wondered if that was because Keegan had had more contact with people and things he was familiar with.
Though, he was just glad that things were moving positively.
While waiting at the traffic light, Aldor noticed Keegan staring out the window. He followed his gaze and saw a baby and maternity store, “Mr. Kane, would you like to go in and have a look?”
Keegan looked away and said flatly, “It’s okay. The baby is not necessarily staying.”
He did not forget what Stella said-lf he still could not have any genuine feelings for her when he proposed three months later, she would not keep the baby.
As Keegan thought about that, he could not help but think of how cruel Stella was. He was even starting to feel uncomfortable looking at that store.
“Let’s go.” Keegan calmly said as he stopped looking out the window.
Aldor thought to himself, ‘Didn’t he go to the hospital today to stop Mrs. Kane from getting the abortion? Why does he
sound so unconfident now?’
Just as Keegan was lost in his thoughts, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and answered the call.
Jaylene’s voice came from the other end of the phone,” Keegan, Dr. Stone is coming over tomorrow. I’ll accompany you for the follow-up treatment.”
Keegan paused, “Can we reschedule it to the day after tomorrow? I’m not free tomorrow.”
“Dr. Stone will be going to Salcator to give a lecture on the day after tomorrow. He’ll only be available tomorrow,” Jaylene said gently, “Keegan, do you have something urgent to attend to? Can’t you postpone it? Although your physical injuries have recovered a lot, the issues with your head still require regular check-ups from experts like Dr. Stone,” she paused before continuing, “My dad told me that things in Vinci Rivera haven’t calmed down yet. I want you to recover fully as soon as possible.” 3
Keegan kept quiet momentarily before asking, “What time tomorrow?”
“Ten in the morning.”
“Okay then. I’ll see you tomorrow.” 2
After Keegan ended the call, Aldor could not help but say,” Mr. Kane, you have to pick up Mrs. Kane and bring her back to Royalpark Villa tomorrow.”
“I know.”
“But-“
Keegan lifted his gaze, “You’re crossing the line.” 1
Aldor immediately stopped speaking.
‘Well, I guess that’s it. I hope he’ll know what to do when Mrs. Kane unleashes her anger tomorrow.1 Aldor thought to himself.
After Stella went back home, she changed her clothes. When she went downstairs, she bumped into Jaylene.
