"We talked about something else too, but | mainly want to find out if he knows anything about his uncle. But, he doesn't seem toknow much."
Keegan scoffed. "It'd be strange if he does. His parents aren't really close with Irene, and they don't talk with each other much.No one in the Moore family is happy with Irene's husband either. They didn't even allow them to have a wedding ceremony afterreceiving the marriage certificate, and Marshall has only met with him a few times."
Stella was shocked. ‘But, Marshall's mom seems very close with Irene at the jewelry exhibition back then. How can you be sosure?"
Keegan said flatly, "They were just putting on a show for outsiders." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Marshall had abrother who was two years younger than him, but he accidentally choked on a small toy and passed away."
Marshall's parents were out shopping at that time because Frederick was very happy that Irene had come back from studyingabroad. He prepared a grand welcoming party and insisted on organizing it at home. Because Marshall's parents lived withFrederick back then, they were responsible for arranging the party.
So, both of his parents were told to go out and do the shopping. Everyone in the family was busy doing something for Irene. Noone was there to look after the two children, and that was how the accident happened.
Because no one was around them, nobody knew that Marshall's brother was choking on something. Marshall was only three orfour years old at that time, and he had no idea why his brother could not breathe. He went to the adults for help, but all of themthought that he was just playing around, so they ignored him.
By the time the nanny went upstairs to check on Marshall's brother, his face was already purple, and his heart had stoppedbeating.
When they sent him to the hospital, the doctor told them that it was already too late.Ariel was so shocked that she passed out on the scene.
In fact, there was no need for them to leave the house since the nanny could have done everything forthem. However, Frederickinsisted that Marshall's parents should do that instead because he thought that the nanny would not be meticulous enough. Arielwas still in the breastfeeding stage, and she was so worried about her younger son getting hungry or needing to get his diaperchanged that she would call the nanny for updates every half an hour.
The nanny told her that her child was doing fine, yet something like that had happened.novelbin
Marshall's parents confronted the nanny. However, she claimed that Frederick asked her to do something else, and she had toldIrene to check on the kids.
But, Irene said that the nanny did not speak to her about it at all.
The child lost his life due to the adults' negligence, yet no one in the family took responsibility for the tragedy. Ariel even calledthe police, but all the police could do was find out the cause of death, and further legal actions would have to depend on thecourt.
Frederick thought that their family’s reputation would be tarnished, so he fired the nanny and prohibited anyone in the Moorefamily from ever talking about it. In the end, no one was held responsible for what happened.
Then, Keegan said, "No matter whose fault it was, it all happened because Irene came back. Otherwise, the nanny wouldn't bedoing anything else apart from looking after the children. Do you think that Ariel could ever let this go?"
Stella felt a chilling sensation all over after listening to Keegan's words.
She finally knew why Keegan said that they were just putting on a show. It was simply impossible for a mother not to holdresentment toward a person who caused her son's death. Any mother in the world would have a difficult time forgiving Irene, inthis case.
Stella sighed and softly said, "I feel so bad for Marshall. He was right there with his little brother. | wonder if any of the adultsblame him for what happened. He was only three years old. He was probably frightened.”
Keegan paused and pulled her face closer as he said in a deep voice, "Are you feeling bad for another man?"
Stella was speechless.
Then, she shouted angrily, "It's natural human emotions, okay? Don't you know who else | feel sorry for? | had such a hard timesleeping last night. | would've just left if it weren't for the rashes all over your body!"
Keegan felt very happy, yet he said, "You clearly took up most of the bed, and | was the one getting squeezed into the cornerdespite being the patient."
Stella gritted her teeth. "I'm a chicken if ever go back here to take care of you!"
Keegan chuckled. "I still prefer you to be a human." He handed her the file as he spoke. "Take a look. It's something youwanted."
Stella took it and said, "A property transfer contract?"Keegan kept quiet."No. It's an organ transplant contract."
Stella was speechless.
