Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1626 [Eleven Jewell]
Keegan closed his mouth and remained silent. Both he and Stella were conserving what little strength they had left in the freezing night. Stella was drained of energy. Her lips were turning into a bluish hue from the cold. Her mind was starting to blur, but she clung to the branch with sheer determination.
All of a sudden, a noise echoed from the shore. Stella snapped back to reality and said, “Keegan, they’re here! They’re here!”
She turned her head, but the person behind her had vanished without her noticing.
The bitter cold seemed to intensify. Stella’s face grew even paler, as she shouted Keegan’s name into the empty stretch of water. Yet, all that met her
cries was the relentless sound of the flowing river.
Stella released her grip on the branch, intending to swim away. However, she discovered that she was tethered to the branch. Before letting go, Keegan had
mustered the last ounces of his strength to secure her in place with a belt.
Even if she was weak, the belt would provide some support, allowing her to hold on a while longer.
The river water was numbingly cold, causing Stella to be limp long ago. Hence,
she was completely unaware of Keegan’s efforts. Her face turned ashen, and she frantically struggled to remove the belt.
Not long after, the searchlights shone upon Stella. Someone shouted, and several people rushed over. They worked tirelessly to bring her onto the shore.
Stella was crying, as she struggled to get out of the water. The bone-piercing cold, compounded by a day of anxiety and fear, along with the shock of learning
that Keegan was missing, overwhelmed her. In the end, she lost all consciousness.
Stella was unconscious for three days.
Wenham and Trevor were in distress while they watched over her in the hospital. Both of them were in a bad state. They did not dare to inform Edith and Wilfred of the situation. They fear that it would cause them to worry.
