Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2000 [Eleven Jewell]
take her phone away gently, “Stop looking at this. Let’s go home.”
Stella looked up at him, her eyes red and swollen. She pleaded, ” Give it to me.”
He pursed his lips before saying, “Let’s go home first.”
Her voice was hoarse with emotion, she said, “Give it to me.”
Instead of handing over the phone, Keegan pocketed it. As Stella stood up to retrieve it, he enveloped her in his arms, his voice soft yet firm, “Don’t look anymore. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
Stella clung to his shirt, the image of his bloody figure in a hospital bed haunting her. “How much did you suffer?” she asked, her voice breaking. She trembled in his embrace, tears streaming down her cheeks, “You’re even scared of injections, yet you had to endure thirteen stitches without anesthesia. Didn’t it hurt?”
The videos on Jaylene’s phone had shaken Stella deeply as they revealed Keegan’s vulnerability and pain. She had documented those moments not out of concern but for her own gain. The videos also clearly recorded his injuries.
When he was rescued, he was already delirious. The prolonged exposure to cold water had caused a severe upper respiratory infection. The doctors were worried that anesthesia might aggravate his airway reactions, which could lead to spasms. So, they decided not to use any.
At that time, Keegan was so out of it that he did not remember whether it had hurt. After the surgery, they put him on a pain pump, which they instructed Jaylene to press when he was in pain. If not, they told her only to use it sparingly. He did cry out, but not from pain; he kept calling Stella’s name.
