It was a screenshot from Jaylene's Twitter account displaying a photo of herself and Keegan, accompanied by a flower emojicaption.
Seeing the post, Stella realized that Keegan was indeed meeting Jaylene as she wore the dress Stella had chosen for her theday before. 'So, it's Keegan she's meeting after all. |
Stella fumed inwardly, thinking, ‘What nerve Keegan has, not informing me about this."With a serious expression, she began typing several questioning messages to Keegan. However, she swiftly deleted them all.
Walking back and forth in her room, she eventually composed a new message: [Bring flowers when you come to pick me uplater.]
Keegan was bewildered by the abrupt demand.
Stella followed up: [No entry without them!]
Keegan was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Jaylene noticed Keegan's frown as he glanced at his phone and asked softly, "Keegan, who are you texting?”Keegan, without looking up, responded flatly, "A creditor."
Before Jaylene could inquire further, the car came to a halt. "We've arrived, Mr. Kane," Aldor announced.
"Alright." Keegan turned to Jaylene. "Lead the way, Jaylene.”
Gathering herself, Jaylene put on a smile. "Of course."
The subsequent checkup proceeded smoothly, encompassing only a few tests. Following this, Jaylene guided Keegan to theoffice of Dr. Raynard Stone.
Aldor attempted to follow, but Raynard's assistant halted him, citing disruption to the doctor's work due to an irrelevantindividual's presence.
However, Jaylene was granted entry.
Aldor gazed at the office door, studying Raynard's profile for a while before discreetly capturing a photo of it with his phone.Nearly an hour passed before Keegan emerged from the office.
His complexion seemed off, requiring support from Jaylene as he exited.
Approaching to inquire, Aldor asked Jaylene about the outcome. She explained, "Dr. Stone attempted to trigger Keegan'smemory, but it was unsuccessful. Whenever he tries to recall the past, he gets severe headaches. We had no choice but toabandon the attempt."
Though Aldor wasn't wholly convinced by Jaylene's explanation, he didn't voice his doubts. Instead, he turned to Keegan andinquired, "Mr. Kane, how do you feel?"
Despite the winter weather, Keegan's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. Weakly, he requested, "Take me to the washroom."“Of course," Aldor agreed, guiding Keegan toward the washroom.
Upon entering the washroom, Keegan, who needed support to walk, suddenly could walk normally. Then, he gestured for Aldorto leave.
After some time, Aldor heard the sounds of vomiting coming from inside the washroom.
Regaining his composure, Aldor noticed Jaylene lingering nearby. He approached her.
"Ms. Saun, feel free to leave if you have other commitments. I'll inform you once Mr. Kane is finished," Aldor offered.
Jaylene scanned around the vicinity before responding impassively, "Aldor, that won't be necessary. | have something to discusswith Keegan."
“Mr. Kane has prior engagements. Ms. Saun, perhaps another time would be more suitable," Aldor interjected.
Jaylene's demeanor turned icy. ‘Til ask Keegan directly if he has other plans. Mind your own business."
Maintaining his smile, Aldor replied, "| apologize, Ms. Saun."
Thereafter, he said nothing, contemplating, ‘In reality, a person's character isn't solely influenced by their environment.
‘Mrs. Kane, raised by someone like Albert, doesn’t reflect any negative traits of his. She treats everyone around Mr. Kane withequal respect, regardless of their status.
‘Although she rarely visits the office, those who've encountered her hold a very favorable opinion of her.’Ten minutes elapsed before Keegan emerged from the washroom, appearing just as unwell.
Spotting Jaylene, he questioned, "You're still here."
Jaylene paused, realizing Aldor had merely conveyed Keegan's words.
She bit her lip and softly asked, "Keegan, would you like to grab a meal together?"novelbin
