Chapter 223
Bella seethed internally, ‘I tried to extend an olive branch, but you’ve made your choice.”
Meanwhile, as soon as Stella turned off the Facebook app on her phone, Aldor’s call came in.
She frowned as she thought, ‘It’s late. Why are they bothering me now?” She chose not to answer, not because it was Aldor calling, but because the call was likely related to Keegan. And, Stella did not want to deal with him.
Despite Stella’s refusal to answer, Aldor’s calls persisted. So, the phone rang incessantly.
Eventually, the caretaker could not stand it anymore and said, “Stella, why don’t you answer? What if it’s an emergency?”
“What emergency?” Stella huffed before begrudgingly picking up the phone.
‘Madam, Mr. Kane has a fever of 39 degrees. Do you have any fever-reducing medicine at home?”
Stella sat up in surprise. “What’s the point of taking medicine at such a high temperature? Take him to the hospital right away!
“Mr. Kane refuses to go. I can only get him some medicine to bring down the temperature. But, I have no idea where the medicine is. Since Mr. Kane has fired Maya, I had to call you.” Stella frowned and thought, ‘Is Keegan out of his mind? He could get brain damage from such a high fever. She recalled that Keegan’s father had been hospitalized with a fever and had passed away when his condition worsened. ‘It has probably affected Keegan,” she thought. Whenever he has a fever, he’ll get moody. He’ll refuse to take medicine or see a doctor. He’ll be as stubborn as a mule and can’t be persuaded.”
Hence, Stella believed Aldor’s words.
She pursed her lips and gave instructions to Aldor. “There’s a first-aid kit in the coffee table drawer downstairs. You can find a fever reducer in there. Let him take one. If his temperature doesn’t drop after half an hour, take him to the hospital even if he refuses!”
