Chapter 211
“But, that doesn’t guarantee a hundred percent protection,” said Stella. “With our divorce impending, I don’t want to take any chances. The thought of having an abortion at the hospital and the pain it would cause just terrifies me.”
Keegan felt uneasy. He cleared his throat and said, “When that happens, no one will force to get an abortion. We can keep the baby.”

Stella paused and turned to face Keegan. She then spoke in a serious tone. “Keegan, I don’t want my child to share their father’s love with anyone else. If I do end up pregnant, I won’t want to have the baby.” Stella did not want her child to go through the same thing that she had experienced.
Keegan’s heart suddenly constricted. His face suddenly turned sulky, as he said, “Then, that would be great. I wouldn’t want a burden during the divorce either!”
With that, Keegan walked away with a serious expression. His arm accidentally knocked over a plant, and a pot of freesia tumbled to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Stella watched him leave the rooftop before picking up the broken pot. Suddenly, her movements stopped when she noticed a few drops of blood on the spot where Keegan had been standing.
Only then did she realize that Keegan had not fully recovered from the injury, and the strain from holding her all the way back just to put up a show with her must have reopened the wound on his arm.
Stella’s heart tightened. When she was about to go after him, she heard the sound of Keegan’s car engine starting and driving away. So, she paused her step and ultimately stayed put.
That night, Keegan did not come home, and Stella was unable to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, she rose from her bed upon hearing some commotion downstairs. Keegan, who had just stepped into the house, saw her. He had a blank expression on his face as he walked straight past her and headed to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water.
Stella noticed that Keegan was not wearing the same clothes he had worn the night before, indicating that he did not stay at a hotel.
She hesitated and softly asked, “Have you had breakfast? What would you like to eat? How’s your wound? Have you changed the bandage?
Keegan tightened his grip on the bottle and sneered, “Mrs. Kane, there’s no need to put on a show with just the two of us here.”
