Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Dahlia scowled, “Am I conservative now? Come on! There’s a limit even to having fun. There are tons of eyes on the Kane family. When she acts inappropriately, and it gets around, we’ll be plagued by rumors every day. People will think this is what the Kane family is all about!”

Keegan’s head ached while he was listening to Dahlia’s nagging. He turned to Stella and said, ” Get me some water.”

Stella handed Keegan the water she had just bought. He grabbed the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a couple of gulps. Dahlia noticed his pale complexion and stopped her rant. Instead, she asked, “What brings you to the hospital so early in the morning?”

“I’m here to visit a friend,” Keegan answered briefly. He then asked, “Why did you bring Stella here for a check-up? Wasn’t she just checked two months ago?”

Dahlia composed herself when the topic shifted. “It’s just a routine check-up. She’s been taking that fertility drink for a while now. I just want to see if it had any effect. Mrs. Valle’s son got married last year, and now her daughter-in-law is almost due. You two have been married for three years now, and still no kids. So I’m just more concerned than you two are.”

Obviously, Dahlia was implying Stella was at fault.

Keegan remained nonchalant. “It’s not something that happens overnight. The fertility drink hasn’t done anything even after all this time. So maybe she’s not getting pregnant because she’s taken too much of it.”

Stella did not know what to say. ‘It’s true that I don’t want to take that awful fertility drink. But I can’t believe Keegan would say that! How shameless! The hell I can’t get pregnant when he’s the one refusing to sleep with me!’

Not only would Keegan spend nights with her only once a couple of months, but he would also deliberately avoid her ovulation period. So even if Stella was fertile, it was pointless without his cooperation.

Dahlia got angry. “What do you mean she can’t get pregnant because of taking too much fertility drink? I went through a lot of trouble to get it. Who am I working so hard for? I wouldn’t have to go through all this effort if she were fertile.”

Seeing that mother and son were about to quarrel, Stella tried to calm Dahlia, “Please don’t be upset, Dahlia. I’ll make sure to drink the fertility drink on a schedule. Here, have some water.”

But Dahlia pushed Stella’s hand away and said coldly, “I must’ve been meddling too much. From now on, you two can handle your problems. I don’t want to waste my time and energy only to be criticized later.”
