Chapter 1927

When Stella came out of the restroom, she turned her head to the spot where she had seen Aurora earlier. However, she did not see anyone there and proceeded to go back downstairs.

Then, a loud noise, accompanied by a woman's scream, echoed in the staircase. The hotel staff on the floor paused.

Then, he hurriedly rushed over and saw Stella covered in blood.

When that person came in to tell everyone that someone had fallen, nobody knew who it was. However, Keegan's face turned pale when he heard that blood was mentioned. He abruptly stood up and ran outside.

Aurora's expression changed, and she followed him out.

Marshall watched Keegan lose his composure as he tapped on his wine glass without showing any reaction.

Felicity became very worried as well upon hearing that there was blood everywhere. With a pale face, she stammered," Stinky Cucumber, c-could it be... Stella—"

Before she could finish speaking, Vermont cut her off with a teasing smile, "The stairs aren't that high. Even if someone falls, how could there be blood everywhere? I'm pretty sure that person was just exaggerating."

"But-"

"Stella is not that fragile. How could she bleed from just a fall? Besides, nobody knew who that was. How can you be so sure that it's her?"

Vermont interrupted her again, and Felicity finally calmed down. She almost slipped about Stella being pregnant the moment she panicked earlier.

"Let's go and have a look first. It sounds pretty scary."

"Sure, come on."

Vermont stood up, and Felicity left with him. After that, Carter and Lena followed suit.

Kayla looked at Marshall, "Are you not going to check it out?"

Marshall replied gently, "It's going to be so crowded. I doubt I'll be able to see anything."

She looked at him and asked, "What if it's someone you know?"

Marshall lowered his gaze and said flatly, "I'm in no place to even care if it is."

Kayla pursed her lips tightly.

Marshall, in his gentle moment, would treat everyone with kindness. But when his harsher mood struck, he could turn a blind eye even to those he cared.

Suddenly, Kayla remembered what her mother had told her a few days ago, "Kayla, why don’t you consider someone else? Although Marshall Moore looks like a decent guy, I heard some things about the Moore family.

"Marshall had a girlfriend before, but his family disapproved of the relationship. So, they did something to force them to break up. Marshall caused a big scene and even fell ill.

When he was sick, he did not even want to see his parents. There's a scar on his mother's arm, and the ladies said that he was the one who caused it."

Kayla found it somewhat unbelievable. She had seen Marshall speaking to Ariel on the phone, and he always spoke very gently, never talking back at her.

However, she had noticed a faint scar on Marshall's left palm. It was very shallow, though she noticed it cut through his life and love lines.

When Vermont was studying Felicity’s palm for her, Kayla saw it when Marshall was looking at his palm.

'His palm lines... are bad,' Kayla thought to herself.

Compared to the romantic feelings she had for Marshall, Kayla was more curious about the secret he was hiding.

Curiosity about a person often marked the beginning of attraction.

Kayla felt somewhat irritable. She stopped speaking to Marshall and went out on her own.

Keegan pushed through the crowd and saw Stella sitting on the stairs.

She was half-lying there with an extremely pale complexion, her face and hands covered in blood. Next to her was a scattered trash can.

Keegan froze all over. He walked forward with his stiffened limbs and pushed aside the people standing in front of him.

Stella saw him through the crowd and weakly called out," Keegan."

His face turned even paler as he squatted down and looked at her with a distressed expression. His hands were trembling; he had no idea where to place them.

"Keegan..." Stella called out softly, extending her bloodied hand to grab Keegan.

Keegan's heart trembled as his eyes turned red. He carefully supported her upper body up and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "I'll take you to the hospital now."

However, Stella grabbed his hand and whispered, "Keegan, someone spilled oil on the stairs. It wasn't an accident..."

Keegan paused and shifted his gaze to the steps in front of him. Indeed, each step was covered with a layer of oil.

Olivia had been renovating the hotel and was planning only to carpet the stairs after her daughter's wedding. So, the steps were exposed, and someone took advantage of it.

Keegan sounded very worried as he spoke, 'TH get someone to call the police. Let's go to the hospital first."

Stella looked frightened, with blood on her hands, clothes, and face.

The stairs were not high, so Keegan could not figure out why she would bleed so heavily.

She stopped him from carrying her up and said, "Lena can take care of me. I want you to stay here and find out who did this."

Keegan paused and looked at her in disbelief.

Stella leaned on his shoulder and spoke very softly, "Keegan, trust me. The baby and I are fine, but you've got to find out who's trying to harm me. I need to know that. If you can't do this, I'll make sure the baby has absolutely no connection with the Kane family. I mean what I say."

Keegan looked at her with an ashen face.

It was not because he heard Stella's threat but because someone tried to harm her and his child right under his nose.

How could she be fine when she was covered in blood?

Keegan did not listen to her and was about to take her away.

However, Stella pressed his arm down forcefully, raised her other hand, and touched his lips with her bloodied thumb." Keegan, trust me," she said word by word.

Keegan was stunned and realized the liquid on his lips did not have the smell of blood at all. He thought he had lost his sense of smell, so he licked his lips to taste it.

It tasted like a mixture of fruit and honey.

Then, he looked at Stella, dumbfounded.

Stella quickly pushed his face, fearing that the others would see his foolish expression.

More and more people gathered around, including the guests from the wedding, the hotel staff, and her close friends.

Felicity, who had hoped that it was someone else who fell, panicked right after seeing Stella covered in blood in Keegan's arms.

Stella! Are you okay? How did you fall?"
