Chapter 1629
Chapter 1629Marshall picked up on Felicity's change in demeanor. He lowered his gaze and asked, "How's Stella doing?”“Her fever has subsided, but she hasn't regained consciousness yet," Vermont replied, as he assessed Kayla's presence.
Marshall noticed his gaze and clarified, "Ms. Wilson got wind of Stella's situation and wanted to visit her. She got in touch withme, and | gave her a lift since | was on my way here."
Vermont nodded. "Please come in, Ms. Wilson."Kayla stepped in while carrying a gift.
Meanwhile, Felicity was meticulously tending to Stella's hands with a towel. When she saw Kayla approaching, she nodded ather in acknowledgment before resuming her task.
Stella was on the hospital bed, looking pale. Her cheeks seemed slightly sunken, and her features looked sharp. Her currentappearance was quite different from the perpetually cheerful and eloquent young woman they knew.
After hearing the entire story from her father, Kayla could not fathom just how deeply Stella loved Keegan, as Stella was able toleap off a bridge without a moment of hesitation. To her, Keegan was just another man, while Stella was the heiress of the Saunfamily. 'What could he possibly offer that she couldn't find anywhere else?"
Kayla had regarded Stella as a clever and independent woman. She never anticipated that Stella would be infatuated by a man.She wondered if Keegan was worth it.
“What did the doctor say?" Kayla asked Felicity in a hushed tone.
“Her fever is mostly gone. She should be waking up soon. But her hands and feet are still suffering from frostbite, so she mightneed some time to recuperate,” Felicity explained.
Kayla sighed. "Thank goodness the police found her in time. | can't bear to think what would happen if otherwise."novelbin
"The area they were in isn't easy to navigate. The police spent quite some time before they located her. When they did, herhands were frozen stiff, and she couldn’t even hold onto anything. If Keegan hadn't used a belt to secure Stella on that branch,she wouldn't have made it. But Keegan..." As Felicity spoke, her eyes were welled up with tears.
Kayla was momentarily taken aback. In that instant, she suddenly understood why Stella had jumped in without a secondthought. A person who was willing to sacrifice himself for his beloved was certainly worth it.
“Has Mr. Saun and Trevor gone back?" Marshall asked in a low voice.
Vermont nodded. "Mr. Saun went back to rest, and Trevor said he'll come back after taking a shower and changing into somenew clothes."
"Stella hasn't had any more nightmares, has she?"
Vermont paused and gave Marshall a strange look. He felt that he was being overly concerned about Stella when Keegan was.still missing. "We're not sure. We just arrived," he replied.
“Have you and Ms. Thompson eaten yet? If you haven't, | can stay here and look after things while the two of you get somethingto eat."
Felicity could not stop herself from making a sarcastic remark. "There's no need forthat, Mr. Moore. You and Stella aren't thatclose. Why would we entrust her to you? You can uphold justice by helping the good and punishing the wicked all you want, butdon’t lead your enemies into Stella's life."
Afraid that Felicity might go overboard, Vermont cleared his throat and said, "Hurry up and wipe Stella’s hands."
