"Star, thank you," Haynes's voice was hoarse, "but… I don't think that will be necessary."
Stella immediately understood.
"Alright," she said. "I get it."
After hanging up, Stella and Joshua went to pick up Keen. The boy was a little down. No matter how much Stella and Deanna disliked each other, Deanna was Keen's grandmother and had genuinely doted on him. Now that her condition was critical, Keen was understandably sad.
Fortunately, Joshua had a knack for handling children and quickly managed to distract him, lifting his spirits.
One day, Stella was sitting at a table watching Keen and Joshua play a game of chess when her phone rang. It was Haynes again.
Stella glanced at the time—eight o'clock at night. Her heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling.
She walked out to the balcony to answer the call.
"Haynes, is something wrong?"
Haynes's trembling, hoarse voice came from the other end. "Yes. My mother wants to see Keen one last time."
Stella's heart sank. One last time… That meant Deanna wasn't going to make it.
After hanging up, Stella went to Keen's side. "Keen, get ready. We're going to the hospital now."
Joshua, who had likely guessed what happened, stood up. "I'll drive you."
Stella didn't refuse.

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...
