Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1697

However, Stella completely ignored what Keegan said.

In just a few seconds, she unbuttoned his shirt. While gripping the collars on both sides, she disregarded Keegan’s resistance and stripped his shirt off his shoulder. Then, she saw the various large and small scars covering his body.

Keegan’s body, especially his back, hardly had any smooth skin left.

Some of the scars had partially healed, leaving only faint red or brown marks on his body. Meanwhile, the ones that had not healed still had stitches on them.

The longest one extended from the back of his neck to the side of his waist.

There were still traces of chilblains on it, which made it look gruesome.

Stella’s heart dropped, as she took a deep breath.

She reached out with her trembling hands to touch his scar- covered back, and her mind was filled with the images of Keegan covered in blood that night.

Sadness and fear surged through her. She then felt a lump in her throat, finding it hard to utter a word.

Keegan’s body turned stiff, feeling both embarrassed and angry. He shoved her away with a pale face, as he said while suppressing his anger, “Do you have no shame-“

Before he could finish speaking, he was met with Stella’s tearful eyes.

Her tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed uncontrollably. “Does it hurt?”

Her voice sounded extremely hoarse, but Keegan could hear every word she said clearly.

He immediately gave up the idea of scolding her, as he put his shirt back on awkwardly. “They’ve all healed. Why would it hurt?”

He thought for a moment and added, “Jaylene said that we were kidnapped together. Although I don’t remember anything about it, there’s no need for you to feel guilty.”

“I’m not guilty! I’m feeling bad for you!” Stella got angry when she heard Jaylene’s name and stopped crying. “Keegan Kane, why did you let go of me when we were in the water? Did you lie to me when you said we would be together in life and death?”
