Chapter 166
Chapter 166Stella could not even ask more questions. She turned around and ran toward the ward.
After opening the door of the ward, only Keegan was there. No policemen were seen. Rather, Keegan was shocked by the soundof her pushing the door. He frowned and said, “Reckless.”
Stella was relieved. She unscrewed the water bottle and cooled the water for him with the two paper cups she found.
The water she just took was hot. Keegan was hard to serve. He disliked the mixture of cold and hot water and only drank waterthat cooled naturally
Stella tried to trick Keegan by mixing some cold water into the hot water for him once before. However, he only took a sip andrefused to take another
The hospital did not have a device that helped to cool the water down quickly So, Stella had to use this method to cool it for him.Keegan looked at her movements and asked abruptly, “Where did you go this morning?”
“To buy a lottery ticket.”
Keegan was speechless. Then, he asked, “Where’s the lottery ticket?”
Stella set aside the paper cups and showed Keegan the two photos she had received on her phone. “I took a long time tochoose it. | think | can win the jackpot.”
Keegan glanced at it. The cracks on the phone caught his eyes. “Everybody who buys a lottery ticket thinks they’re going to win,”he said.novelbin
“We have to have dreams.”“That's delusional.”Stella pouted. “People like you who were born into a rich family don’t understand the meaning of the lottery naturally.”
Suddenly, Keegan said, “Winning the lottery is known as a windfall gain. If you win the lottery, isn’t it marital property? I'll also gethalf of it, right? In this sense, it seems to have some meaning.”
Stella was shocked.
‘Keegan, you suck! Even if | win the lottery, I'll claim the prize after divorce!’
“Take
your
medicine.”
Stella handed the cup to Keegan after the water cooled. Keegan took it but not the medicine. He looked at her.Stella did not understand what he wanted. “What’s wrong?”
“Do | still have hands to take medicine?” Keegan snapped.
Stella was speechless. She opened the prepared medicine on the table, put it in her palm, and held it to Keegan’s mouth.Keegan opened his mouth, and she put the medicine into his mouth. His dry lips brushed
against her palm, and she could feel his breath on her hand. It was warm and itchy, as if scratching her heart.
Stella withdrew her hand uncomfortably and stroked her palm lightly a few times. Suddenly she thought, ‘Keegan can get themedicine first, then the water. The medicine and the wate don’t have to be taken together. Did Keegan hurt his brain instead ofhis arm?”
Keegan seemed to fail to notice her reaction. He took a sip of water and swallowed the medicine.
Stella was thinking about what the nurse on duty said. After hesitating, she asked, “I met a police officer at the water dispenserjust now.”
Keegan closed his eyes and rested his mind. He did not even lift his eyelids.
Stella said again, “Didn't the police come to you?”
Keegan’s eyelids were still closed, but he responded to her. “Why should they look for me?Stella was lost for words for a moment. “Didn’t you beat someone?”
Keegan opened his eyes. “You think the police are here to arrest me?”
“They will have questions for you, right?”
“They asked in the morning,” Keegan paused and added, “when you were buying the lotteryticket.”
Stella was stunned into silence.
