Keen couldn't help but try to find excuses and reasons for Mr. Joshua's actions. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he sent Joshua a text message.
"Mr. Joshua, are you on the same side as Ms. Pearce?"
A moment later, a reply came.
"Did Mr. Richards tell you that?"
Keen's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know, Mr. Joshua?"
Joshua: "A guess."
Keen's admiration for him grew. "You even guessed that, Mr. Joshua? You're amazing." He quickly sent another message. "I don't believe what Mr. Richards said, but Dad isn't here, and Mom just woke up, so I had to ask you."
Joshua replied immediately: "Mom just woke up?"
At this time, it should be evening in Solmaris. How could Stella have just woken up?
Keen typed: "Mom was sick. She had a fever for several days. I came to Solmaris to visit her."
Joshua asked: "Sick? Since when?"
Keen replied: "Abby said it's been two or three days. But she woke up a little while ago, and the doctors are checking on her now." After a thought, he added a comforting line. "The doctor said Mom is going to be fine, so don't worry, Mr. Joshua."
Abby had wanted Haynes to take Keen home, but the boy insisted on staying the night with Stella. He even told Abby he didn't need her to stay, saying he had secrets to share with his mom.
Abby considered it. Stella and Keen hadn't seen each other in a long time, and Stella's mood had been low. Having Keen around might do her some good. That was, after all, why she'd asked Haynes to bring him in the first place.
"Alright," Abby said. "But if Star needs anything, you have to call me immediately. And if you get sleepy, remember to have me take over."
Keen nodded emphatically. "Abby, I already took a nap. I'm not tired at all."
Abby smiled. "No wonder you were complaining about being tired earlier. You were just planning to stay up with your mom tonight… Keen, you're becoming so thoughtful."
Keen looked down, a little guiltily. Abby didn't notice anything amiss. She gave him a few more instructions and then left the room.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
