Chapter 1733

Keegan’s leg wasn’t seriously injured; it was just weakened from prolonged immobility. His recovery had been swift over the past few days with proper nutrition and rehabilitation training.

Although his body had improved significantly, Jaylene noticed that Keegan had become less talkative.

When she initiated conversations, he would respond with minimal enthusiasm, appearing disinterested.

This change in demeanor left Jaylene somewhat uneasy. Seeking to lighten the mood, she decided to bring up Stella.

“Stella hasn’t been home these past few days, and it feels quite empty. Despite her hating me for saving you, I actually like having a sister at home.” i Keegan did not react when he heard Stella’s name.

Jaylene continued, “Dad mentioned that she went out with her friend to unwind. She has quite a number of friends. Last time, she went out with Marshall. This time, I’m not sure.” i Keegan seemed unfazed and said, “Jaylene, Grandma suggested I formally express my gratitude, considering my leg has recovered almost entirely. Could you check if your dad is available this weekend? I want to visit your home to explain how you saved me, so Grandma won’t trouble you anymore.”

Jaylene was pleasantly surprised. “Sure, I’ll ask Dad when I get home.”

Keegan nodded and checked the time. “You should go. I’ll have the driver send you home. I need some rest.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Although Jaylene felt reluctant to leave, she couldn’t justify staying at the hospital indefinitely with Keegan’s improving health. 2 After Jaylene left, Keegan didn’t immediately rest. Instead, he visited Coco’s room. The little girl was busy drawing when she heard the door open. She glanced over and returned to her creation when she saw it was Keegan.

“Aren’t you going to greet me?” Keegan casually remarked.

“Hello, Uncle Keegan,” Coco replied nonchalantly.

Keegan took a seat beside her. “Every time Jaylene comes, you hide in your room. Can’t you at least say hi?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

Coco pouted. “I don’t like her.” 3 Keegan chuckled and asked, “Then who do you like?”

“I like Aunt Stella.” 2 Keegan froze for a moment and said, “You like her, but she might not like you back. Look, she doesn’t even come to see you.”

Coco stared at him. “Isn’t that because you’re getting along with Jaylene?” 1 Keegan was at a loss for words. “I’m not getting along with her.”

“Then why are you with her all the time?”

“I can’t exactly send her away when she comes, can I? It’s common courtesy,” explained Keegan. 1 Coco retorted, “But you chased Aunt Stella away. I heard what Great-Grandma said to you!”

Keegan paused and tapped Coco on the forehead. “It’s impolite to eavesdrop,” he said.

“I’m just a kid. People will forgive me for eavesdropping,” Coco replied.

Her response left Keegan speechless.

“I wont turn her away if she truly wishes to come.”
