Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1883

Keegan nodded. “The hairpin does look good.”

Stella was at a loss for words.

‘Jaylene was clearly asking if she looked good and not the hair accessory.’ Jaylene, however, did not mind at all. In fact, she seemed delighted.

“Jaylene, did the police contact you recently?” Keegan casually inquired.

Still immersed in the joy of Keegan giving her a gift for the very first time, Jaylene instinctively replied, “No. Why?”

“It’s nothing,” Keegan replied casually. “A few days ago, they came to ask me about the day of the incident. They asked me how I was rescued. I still don’t have any memories of it, so I can’t provide the police with useful clues. You found me alone that day, right?”

Jaylene’s fingers suddenly tightened. Without lifting her head, she replied, “I heard from the police that you were in the area, so I took a cab there. When I found you, you were already on the shore. So, I had the driver help me get you into the car.”

“You got the information from the police?” Keegan paused.’ I thought you went with Marshall. The police came because they received a call from Marshall. I thought you were with him.”

Jaylene was taken aback, and her expression was somewhat bewildered. Then, she shook her head. “No.”

Keegan remained silent, as he contemplated something.

Stella curled her fingers, and her chest was trembling slightly.

‘Keegan is probing Jaylene. He doesn’t trust her as much as he claimed. But, why did he say those things to me?’ Jaylene seemed unaware of Keegan’s probing and thought that he blamed her for not informing the Kane family.

With teary eyes, she spoke softly, “Keegan, you were severely injured at the time. When I took you to the hospital, the doctor said it was very likely that you wouldn’t survive. I was so scared. I didn’t know how to tell everyone. By the time you were transferred out of the ICU, it was already two weeks later, and you didn’t remember anything. I didn’t dare to say anything.”

She paused for a while and said, “Keegan, you won’t blame me, will you?”

Keegan just looked at her and remained silent.

Jaylene panicked and continued, “Keegan, I’m sorry.”
