‘How was his emotional quotient so random? How would I bear it if he made me hate him for saying I'mfat and then made me feel wanted with that cheesy "And you"?' Stella said inwardly.
Soon enough, the ambulance arrived, along with the police.
Blake was immediately sent to the hospital while the police went to record the key witnesses‘statements.
Dahlia insisted that Stella was the one who started it, but the latter mentioned that the former broke intothe private property.
So, she only acted in self- defense.
The police could not decipher who was telling the truth from their contradictory statements.
And, due to their complicated relationship, mediation was decidedly the best course of action.
Stella kept her silence while the police were mediating the scene for two reasons.novelbin
Firstly, she did not want to implicate Felicity any further as she was the one who threw the vase.
Lastly, her film was about to screen, and creating a scene here would take up her time.
Dahlia, on the other hand, did not want to close the case and kept insisting that Stella was the one whoinstigated it.
It was as if sending her to jail was the only compromise.
While Dahlia was busy falsifying her statement and muddling the police, Keegan asked Stella, "Wasthe security feed always turned on?"
Stella paused and thought, 'Since when did I have a security camera?"
In a moment of realization, she nodded and replied, "It's always on."
Keegan indifferently said, Check the security feed.
That way, won't we know who is lying then?"
When he finished speaking, he looked toward Dahlia.
"Things would be more complicated than just Blake being sent to the hospital if we were to check thesecurity feed."Dahlia's face turned dark.She gritted her teeth and hatefully said, "You rebellious son!"
Immediately after, she was rushed to the hospital.
The police left after taking down everyone's statements.
Meanwhile, Vermont went to the room to find Felicity.
As for Keegan, he opened the fridge door and took out an ice pack.
He then returned to where Stella was, pulled her to the sofa, and pressed the ice on her injury.
His clumsiness made her feel pain.
She frowned, took the ice pack from his hands, and applied it on her own face.
Keegan softly said after a long pause, "Sorry."
Not looking at him, Stella said, "If you're apologizing for Dahlia, don't be."
"I'm saying it for myself," said Keegan as he brushed back her hair and continued, "Move back withme."
"No," she said as she stared at him.
"You better not count your chickens before they hatch."
Keegan helplessly said, "I'm worried about you.It's much safer at home."Stella shot a glance at Keeganand replied, "Clouditude has good management.How else would they let Dahlia sneak in here if youdidn't own property here?"
Keegan opened his mouth but was unable to retort.
"Then, how about I arrange a bodyguard to always stay by your side?"
Stella fell silent for a moment before she replied, "You must have watched too many actionthrillers.Where would you even see so much gore in real life?"
‘Then again, they might not even gain the upper hand if they were to start getting rough," she thought.
Naturally, she was not on guard against Blake and never expected him to deal such a heavy blow.
She did not interact much with Keegan's uncle and was unfamiliar with him.
It was just a passing relationship even at the family gatherings during festivities.
Keegan was still worried and proposed, "How about a caretaker, then?"Stella's brow started to twitch,and she said, 'Since when did Keegan become such a nag?"
