Chapter 167

“Besides, I was defending myself, not beating people up. Your drug test results have been submitted to the police, too. The lawyer has full authority to deal with it for me,” said Keegan.

Stella still could not figure it out. Those people had knives. How could I dare shout if they threatened me with knives when they abducted me?”

“Come here.” Keegan’s deep voice interrupted her thoughts.

Stella raised her eyes. “What’s up?” Even as she said so, she walked to Keegan’s bedside.

Keegan frowned. “Head down. Come closer I won’t bite Stellar pursed her lips, bent over and leaned in. “What the hell are you going to ?” Before she could finish, she felt something cold on her lips.

Keegan lowered his eyes and gently applied the ointment on the wound on her lower lip with his index finger. That wound was created when she bit herself last night to remain conscious. The ointment was ice cold, but it seemed to carry Keegan’s warm love and tenderness with the temperature of his fingertips.

Suddenly, Stella wanted to cry with the feeling of being aggrieved when she thought of what had happened last night.

“Your lip’s swollen. It’s like a sausage. Don’t you feel it yourself?” Keegan successfully made Stella’s bad mood disappear as soon as he spoke Stella slapped his hand away and glared at him. “Don’t look at it if you think it’s ugly!”

“I’ve seen you uglier than this, and I’m used to it.”

Stella pursed her lips, ‘What Keegan should hurt most is his mouth!”

“Knock, knock.” Albert opened the door to the ward and carried a basket of fruit in his hand. after knocking on the door twice.

Stella stood up. “Dad, I thought you left.”

Albert said gently, “I was about to leave, but I saw that the fruits downstairs were quite fresh. I didn’t know what Keegan liked to eat, so I bought some. You can cut them for Keegan later.”

Stella responded and reached out to take it.

‘It’s ironic to say. I was sick as a child and wanted to eat the arctic roll. There was a shop that sold it opposite Albert’s company. Even so, until I recovered from the illness, he didn’t buy one for me.

Keegan enjoyed the care I didn’t even get from my dad.’

“Keegan, how do you feel now?”

Keegan said flatly, “Nothing. I’ll be discharged from the hospital later.”

“Go home and get some good rest. Ask Stella to make something for you if you want to eat anything”

Stella could not help but want to roll her eyes. ‘If you want to kiss Keegan’s ass, do it yourself! Why do you have to involve me?’

Keegan glanced at her and said, “I got it.”

Albert said nothing again before he left. Then, he said, “Stella, come outside. Let’s talk for a while.”

Stella was surprised.

Albert strode toward the rooftop after coming out of the ward. Stella followed behind and asked, “Dad, what do you want to talk about with me?”

Albert stopped after he reached the rooftop. He turned his head and stared at her sullenly. “I asked you to give the white truffle to Dahlia last time. Did you give it to her?”

Stella nodded, “Yes.”

As soon as she finished, Albert suddenly raised his hand and slapped her across the face. The slap was fast and hateful. Stella’s ears buzzed, and her face burned in pain.

“Dahlia didn’t receive anything at all. Who did you give it to?” Albert was furious when thinking of Aurora’s humiliating words. “You feel you can live and work independently now. You also feel you can make up your mind about everything. You are so confident in telling lies. Don’t forget who help you to marry into the Kane family!”

Stella’s eyes were a bit blurry. She reached out and brushed the messy hair behind her ears. Then, she raised her eyes. “I didn’t lie.”

“You’re still arguing!” Albert raised his hand as he spoke.

However, Stella was on guard this time. She grabbed his wrist directly, “Keegan is in the ward. If you touch me again, you’ll know the consequences!”

Albert had no choice but to stop as soon as these words were spoken. He gritted his teeth and said, “You’ve grown capable of threatening your dad?”
