As Stella and Aurora heard the door open, both turned their heads toward the entrance.
“Hi, Keegan,” Aurora greeted.
Stella couldn’t help but notice a hint of relief in Aurora’s tone.
‘What’s she so tense about? Is she worried I might confront her without Keegan around?*
Keegan hung up his coat and asked, “What brings you here?”
“Grandma said Stella came here to aid in your memory recovery. Why didn’t you inform me? We’ve grown up together, and shouldn’t I be spending more time with you? That way, you might recover faster. That’s why I came here,” Aurora explained.
Keegan furrowed his brows. “Did Grandma request you to come?”
Aurora pouted. “No, I came on my own.”
“Go back. There’s nothing for you to do here,” Keegan insisted.
Aurora grew upset. “If Stella can be here, why can’t I? I don’t care; I’m not leaving. I want to help you.”
Keegan countered, “What can you help me with? This is not-
“Not what?” Aurora interjected.
Keegan paused momentarily before continuing, “This is not as straightforward as you think it is. Stop interfering.”
“How am I interfering? You’d rather have an unrelated outsider here than let your own sister help you?” Aurora retorted.
Keegan furrowed his brow, about to voice his thoughts when Stella, who had been quiet until then, unexpectedly intervened, “Just let her stay if she wants to. Maybe she can help speed up your recovery. Once you’re better, I’ll get to leave sooner too.”
Keegan was surprised by Stella’s response. ‘She’s playing a role here, isn’t she? She’s not here to assist me with my memory recovery,’ Keegan thought to himself.
However, Keegan was resolute. “No, leave. Stop causing trouble here.”
Aurora clenched her teeth. “Keegan! You’d never turn me away. What’s going on? Is there something you’re hiding from me?”
Keegan’s expression grew stern. “What nonsense are you talking about? I said no! Leave now!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
Aurora’s face contorted with displeasure. She threw the remote control onto the floor, creating a loud noise before storming upstairs, visibly angry.
Stella was puzzled.
‘Has she gone crazy?’
Even though Keegan spoiled Aurora, she was still somewhat afraid of Keegan getting angry. Whenever there was no one to support her when Keegan got upset, she would immediately step back or withdraw.
That was Stella’s first time seeing Aurora standing up against Keegan like that.
Before Stella could figure out what Aurora was trying to do, she heard the maid yelling, “Ms. Kane! What are you doing? Come down now! It’s dangerous!”
Stella stopped in her tracks. She turned and spotted Aurora flipping over the railing on the second floor. Aurora gripped the railing with both hands behind her back, looking down at the high living room below.
Keegan’s expression changed. “Aurora Kane! What in the world are you doing? Are you crazy? Step away from there!”
He hurried upstairs while speaking. But Aurora released one hand and yelled, “Don’t come closer! I’ll jump if you do!”
Keegan halted and gazed at her. “What do you want?” he asked tightly, his jaw tense.
Aurora said, “I want to stay here. Keegan, I just want you to get better. Why can Stella stay, but I can’t?”
Her voice shook, probably because she was frightened standing on the edge of the railing.
Stella had heard Keegan mention that Aurora was scared of heights. Even being on a skywalk could make her legs feel weak. ‘Is she going this far just to make Keegan let her stay?
Isn’t she scared?’
Keegan clenched his fists and spoke with a grim expression, “Come down first, then we’ll talk.”
“I won’t come down unless you let me stay!” Aurora’s eyes welled up. “Keegan, are you still blaming me for what happened to Dad?”
Keegan’s lips quivered slightly as he softly replied, “No.”
