Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221

Stella thought, ‘Or, did he heal faster after Bella bandaged his wound?”

Stella had a lot of questions. But, before she could ask, she heard Keegan’s voice from the other end of the phone. “Who told you I want to talk to her? Don’t take matters into your own hands!”

Stella was at a loss for words.

Aldor smiled. “Please don’t be upset. Mr. Kane wasn’t yelling at you. He wasn’t feeling well when he came in this morning. He had a fever. I tried to persuade him to see a doctor in the hospital, but he insisted on waiting until we finished our work. The pain must have gotten to him, making him short-tempered. If you have the time, could you swing by the office? Mr. Kane forgot his medicine.”

“What nonsense are you talking to her?” Keegan interrupted. As soon as Stella heard Keegan’s words, the guilt she felt just moments ago had vanished.

Stella forced a smile and said, “Keegan sounds perfectly fine to me. He must be feeling better since he can start working. Besides, he won’t let the pain get him down. And even if he did, I’m sure there would be plenty of ladies lining up to bring him painkillers. I’ll stay out of this, so he can recover in peace. The last thing I want is to aggravate his injury by showing up and getting him all worked up again.”

Before Aldor could respond, Stella hung up the phone.

Aldor was taken aback. He then looked at Keegan, who was now red-faced with

anger

Aldor cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over for Stella. “I think Madam might be feeling a bit under the weather herself.”

Keegan shot him a cold glare, and Aldor fell silent.

Just then, the phone rang again. Aldor glanced at it and whispered, “It’s your mother.”

Keegan’s mood was already sour, and hearing Dahlia’s name made it worse. He snapped, Don’t answer it.”

Aldor put the phone on silent and set it aside.

Keegan scowled, “Has Ms. Lane shown up to resign yet?”
