Chapter 14
Stella swallowed every word that she wanted to say. She could not speak another word anymore.
‘Right. How can I ever count on Keegan?”
“Stella?”
Keegan raised his voice. The weird silence made him feel inexplicably confused.
After a few seconds, Stella spoke again, “I have things to do today. Can we do this another time?”
Keegan coldly smiled, “Another time? Stella, do you think I’m so free like you? The one who wanted to get a divorce was you. And, you’ve gone missing during this crucial time. What are you trying to do?”
Stella’s face was pale. Her voice was husky as she said, “I really have something to do today. I can’t come Let me know which day you’re free. I’ll arrive on time whenever you say.”
“I have no time for your jokes!”
He said icily and ended the call.
Stella clutched her phone. She laughed at herself after a while.
Whenever she needed Keegan the most, he was never there for her. After her hopes were crushed, she suddenly no longer expected anything from him.
She sat alone in the quiet waiting room. After waiting for an hour, she woke up when the nurse informed her that her mother was moved to the ward.
Rainee was narrowly rescued. But, the doctor told Stella that the functions of her mother’s body parts were starting to deteriorate noticeably. That was not a good sign. So, they asked her to have realistic expectations.
Stella thanked the doctor before she sent him away. She then asked the orderly to get a tub of hot water.
When the orderly saw her going to take the towel, she immediately said, “Ms. Jewell, I’ll help you with it.”
