Chapter 165

After exiting the ward, Albert stopped Dahlia. “Dahlia, you look great lately”

Dahlia replied without emotion, “I’m so-so.”

“I asked Stella to give you the white truffle a while back. Have you tried it? How is it?”

Dahlia frowned. “White truffle? I didn’t get it.”

Albert looked surprised. “That’s impossible. I handed it to Stella and asked her to give it to you. How can you not get it?”

“What do you mean?” Aurora raised her voice. “Do you mean my mom denied after accepting your gift?

She has all the good things. Is the Kane family short of your piece of junk? Don’t think the Jewell family can raise their standing by relying on Stella just because she married Keegan. She’s nobody in the Kane family!”

Albert’s expression changed, looking unhappy.

After Aurora finished, Dahlia said lightly, “Aurora, how can you talk to your elders this way?” Aurora snorted coldly. She did not take him seriously at all.

Albert, a middle-aged man in his early fifties, was a little embarrassed to be scolded by a girl like this.

Dahlia spoke. “My daughter is blunt by nature. So, please don’t take her words seriously.” Albert forced a smile. “It’s okay. How can I argue with a kid?”

“Actually, you don’t need to waste your energy on me. Keegan has a sense of propriety with the company’s affairs. I don’t work in the company, so I can’t say anything.”

These words made Albert speechless for a moment. He then said with a smile, “Dahlia, you overthink it. I didn’t mean that. You take care of Stella after she married into the Kane family. As her father, I gave you a gift out of selfishness. I hope you guys have a harmonious relationship.”

Dahlia glanced at him, “It said a married daughter is no longer a member of her parent’s household. Naturally, I’ll treat her well as long as she’s willing to belong to the Kane family. I’m just worried that she can’t get the point.”

These words were full of underlying messages. Albert’s face seemed to change with every word.

There was a uniformed policeman getting water at the water dispenser. So, Stella had to stand aside and wait. After the policeman finished, he turned around and paused when he saw her He nodded to her and left with the water glass.

Stella was a little baffled After getting some water, she saw Felicity had sent her a message [Ten numbers were chosen. Hope we can win the jackpot’]

Two lottery tickets with the selected numbers printed on them were on the bottom.

Stella sent an emoji that said, “May Fortune Smile On You” and put away her phone Then, she went to the duty room. She planned to ask about Keegan’s conditi The nurse in the duty room was the one in charge of Keegan. She told Stella about Keegan’s condition in detail. “Yes, the wound is quite deep, but it’s okay. He can be discharged in the afternoon. Take good care of it at home. The stitches can be removed within ten days to half a month. It’ll be fine once the scab falls off. Just be careful, and don’t let the wound run into contact with water during this period.”

Stella was still worried. “He bled a lot. Can he really go home immediately?”

“It wasn’t a lot.” While talking, another nurse came in and said, “Zoe, the police took away the patient in bed 32 after he woke up. Ask someone to clean up the ward. I’m off work.”

“So fast? The patient in bed 32 was seriously injured. Why did the police take him away? What was his offense?”

The nurse took off her scrubs and said, “I heard from the person on duty last night that he drugged a girl in a bar and was beaten. He also had an accomplice who had a worsened condition. His nose was broken. He had an operation last night and wasn’t awake yet. Before the morning shift, the wives of these two people came to the hospital and made trouble. You haven’t reached at that time, but I met them. One of the women was pregnant. She was in tears, shouting and pulling the police, saying they wronged good people. The surveillance was filmed clearly, but they just don’t believe it. What do you think these women are expecting?” “That’s why so many policemen came to the eighth floor in the early morning. So that’s the case? What about the people who beat them? Wouldn’t the police also arrest them?”

Stella’s heart stopped. She thought of the police officer she saw just now. ‘Is he here to arrest Keegan?”
