Chapter 223
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell 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. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
‘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!”
Aldor quickly agreed and hung up.
Stella paced around the ward, and her mind was uneasy.
The memory of Keegan’s fever last year came to her mind.
It was early autumn, and the sudden weather change had caused Keegan to fall ill.
His feverish state had awakened her in the middle of the night. When she turned on the light, she was greeted with the sight of a red-faced Keegan with cracked lips. Feeling irritated, he grumbled at her for turning on the light. He was not aware that he had a fever.
Stella got out of bed and retrieved a thermometer, only to find that Keegan’s temperature was almost 39 degrees. She wanted to take him to the hospital, but Keegan vehemently refused, sparking an argument between the two.
However, when he was sick, Keegan did not seem intimidating when he was arguing with her.
So, she was not afraid of him, and even felt sorry for him when she saw him burning with fever.
Since she could not persuade him, she had to find him some fever reducer and coax him into taking it. She repeatedly changed his cooling patches, took care of him with unwavering dedication, and hoped that the fever would go down.
The fever made Keegan so delirious that he kept holding onto her hand. This was a rare moment for Keegan.
At that time, Stella was completely in love with Keegan, and even his slightest smile would fill her with dreams of a future together, let alone him holding her hand.
However, her thoughts were interrupted by Keegan’s words. “Don’t go, Bella.”
