Chapter 303
Stella was asleep when Keegan came back. Only a warm yellow lamp was left in the room. He took off his coat, threw it on the couch, walked to the bedside, and sat down.
Stella could feel Keegan’s gaze, even though her back was facing him. She frowned and was a little irritable.
A faint smell of perfume wafted from Keegan’s body. It was the same scent as Bella’s. Stella recalled some unpleasant past memories because she had just chatted with Marshall just now. She was already irritable, but she became even more irritable when she smelled that scent on Keegan’s body, ‘Damn it. Why don’t you wash up instead of just sitting on the bedside and staring at me? It’s annoying! Stella cursed inwardly.
After an unknown time, Keegan threw off the quilt and held her wrist. When Stella was about to withdraw her hand, he gently applied a cool liquid on her wrist with his palm.
Stella was startled for a moment. Then, she withdrew her hand.
Keegan seemed to know that she was awake. When he saw that she withdrew her hand, he said. flatly, “Are you done pretending to be asleep?”
Stella gritted her teeth. “Why would I pretend? I can’t sleep if you’re roughing up here, can I?”
The corner of Keegan’s mouth twitched. “I’m applying the medicine on you! You don’t know chalk from cheese!”
Stella snorted. “My injury has already healed for a long time, even before your medicine is here.”
Keegan was left speechless. Then, he saw an ointment on the bedside table, which was the same as the one in his hand. He frowned and asked, “Did you go to the doctor?”
“No.” Stella wrapped herself in the quilt tightly. “Mr. Moore brought it here.”
Keegan’s eyes darkened. “Why did he give you the medicine?”
Those words made Stella laugh angrily. “Didn’t you visit Ms. Young too? What’s wrong? You can show your love and concern for others, but others can’t show it to me?”
Keegan’s face darkened even more. “Do you think you’re right for pushing someone into the water?”
Stella paused and looked at him. “Bella told you that I pushed her?”
Keegan said nothing.
Bella had never said anything. However, not only Mrs. Chapman, but several people on the ship saw Stella kick Bella at that time.
Seeing that he remained silent, Stella twitched the corners of her mouth with a smirk. “Turns out, you came back to vent her anger on me. You’re right. I pushed her. Oh, technically, I kicked her.”
Keegan frowned. “Why did you do that?”
