Aurora was visibly upset. "What are you talking about? The doctor said your leg might never fully recover if we had waited anylonger to get you to the hospital!"
Tears streamed down her face, as she continued, "You live all alone with no one to take care of you. You were lucky theneighbors found you this time. What if no one had noticed? What would | do without you...”
Dahlia reached out to wipe away Aurora's tears and sighed softly. "You worry too much, my dear child. I'm perfectly fine. R
“How can | not worry about you..." Aurora's cries grew louder. "Look at how much weight you've lost and how gray your hair hasbecome. It's hard for me not to be worried!"
Then, she could not help but express her frustration. "And, what about Uncle Blake and Aunt Kanara? You've always treatedthem so well, but where are they now?"
Dahlia's expression stiffened, her face was showing traces of desolation. "Your uncle has his own family now. | don't want toburden them."
“But aren’t you the one who helped them out when they needed it? During those times, they would rush over to show theirconcern, even if it was just a scratch. How can they not show up when you've suffered such a serious injury?" Aurora pressedon.
Dahlia's complexion did not look good. "That's enough," she said.
She, too, felt resentment. She had lent the Crosby family a hand many times over the years. But, as soon as she lost her statusin the Jewell family, Blake and Kanara turned their backs on her. Among the two, Blake was even more useless. He was tooafraid to even utter a word. Dahlia could not believe she had to rely on her own daughter when she was in trouble. 3novelbin
Keegan stood still and did not say anything. His face showed little emotion and only a cold expression.
Dahlia looked at her son, who had never been particularly close to her. He looked both familiar and distant."Keegan, have you and Stella gotten back together?" Dahlia asked in a low voice.
Keegan looked at her with indifference, and his words were icy and heartless. "What else do you want to do to her?"Dahlia's heart skipped a beat. "I'm just asking," she said hoarsely.
Keegan sneered, "Are you trying to see if the Saun family knows what you did?"
Dahlia turned pale.
Aurora did not know that they were talking about the drugs that had led to Stella's weakened state. She thought Keegan wasreferring to how Stella was not treated well in the Kane family when they were married before. So, when she heard
Keegan's disrespectful words, her face immediately turned cold.
"Keegan, don't talk to mom like that. Didn't Stella marry you for money? Does her past actions no longer matter now that she hasbecome the Saun family heiress? Mom couldn't stand her fake demeanor. What does she-"
"Shut up! Do you even have a say here?" Keegan's face grew colder, and his voice was sharp. "Did you think | forgot how youled her into Jackson's room on the night of my wedding? | haven't settled that score with you yet!"
Aurora was momentarily stunned, and she panicked. Since her brother had brought this up, she had no choice but to admit it.She avoided Keegan's gaze and gritted her teeth. "I- | was just joking with her."
"So, you think it's a joke?" Keegan sneered. "Okay. Let's see if grandma finds this 'joke' amusing when | mention it to her later."Aurora immediately grew flustered.
Then, Dahlia spoke up. "It's all my fault, Keegan. | spoiled her too much back then. Aurora, find time to prepare some gifts andsincerely apologize to Ms. Hall. Don't forget to ask for her forgiveness."
Aurora was naturally reluctant to bow down to Stella, but compared to Keegan telling Cordelia what she did, she felt thatapologizing was more acceptable. Given Cordelia's emphasis on the family's reputation and her fondness for Stella, there wasno guarantee that she would not send her to some remote location, just like she did with Jackson.
“Alright, mom," Aurora replied.
Keegan looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed, who now seemed as though she was a kind and gentle figure. A series ofcomplex emotions brewed in him.
"Has she changed?"
