Chapter 335

Things would be more difficult if Stella laid a hand on Aurora. He did not want her to get involved in this.

However, Stella’s heart sank as she thought Keegan did that to protect Aurora.

“How thoughtful of you, Mr. Kane. What are you expecting my great-grandpa to do? He’s already so old. Do you think he’d hit her? Let me go!”

Keegan frowned and tightened his grip on her arm. Then, he said in a low voice, “Stella Jewell, calm down and think about it. How are things going to be if you really do slap her?”

Stella curled her fingers. She bit her lips and kept quiet.

Keegan continued after noticing her facial expression look less tense. “Great-grandpa is still lying on the hospital bed. Do you think he could recover comfortably if he knew that you fought with my family because of this?”

Stella looked at him coldly. “He wouldn’t be lying on the hospital bed if it weren’t for Aurora!”

“That’s why I brought her here. I’m going to make her apologize to him. I’ll also do my best to accommodate his requests as compensation.”

Stella’s heart turned cold. “Keegan Kane, money can’t solve everything. I’m never going to forget what happened.”

She shrugged Keegan’s arm off as she spoke and then walked away.

She stood there silently, no longer having the impulse to hit Aurora.

Albert was shocked to see Dahlia bring her whole family to visit Arthur. She asked about Arthur’s condition before going into Arthur’s ward without finding out if he was resting or not.

Arthur was not sleeping. The look on his face changed when he saw Keegan. “Hey, Keegan,” he spoke.

Keegan’s mouth drooped. Arthur’s voice sounded a lot weaker than when he used to call his name previously.

He had an awful feeling. Then, he turned around and said to Aurora, “Get over here.”

The two bodyguards followed closely behind Aurora as she stepped forward reluctantly before she bowed down without much care. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that.”

Keegan furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, “Do you have a back problem?”

After hearing what Keegan said, Aurora felt a hand over her shoulders pressing her down forcefully.

She frowned and tried to resist the force. However, Keegan’s hand did not move an inch, and he pressed her shoulders down even harder.

Aurora could not bear the pressure anymore as her eyes turned red. She finally bent over before Keegan’s cold gaze and said with bloodshot eyes, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you! Please forgive me!”

The look on her face was not apologetic at all, but full of disdain and abasement as she spoke.

Keegan’s blood boiled. He was about to speak, but Dahlia beat him to it. “Mr. Jewell, I’m Keegan’s mother. I’ve heard about what happened today. Aurora didn’t know you were staying in Keegan’s place, nor who you were. She’s just a kid and I know she said things she shouldn’t have. I’ve already disciplined her back home. I hope you can forgive her.

“Just focus on recovering, and don’t worry about the medical bill. We’ll take care of it for you.” Then, she took a card out of her bag. “This is a little something for you. Please accept it.”

Lydia’s eyes sparkled as soon as she saw the card.

Dahlia shoved that card into Albert’s hand. “Albert, be sure to take good care of your grandfather.

Please don’t hesitate to ask me for help if you ever need it.”

Stella’s expression immediately darkened.

Keegan frowned too.

Based on the conversation, Albert and his relatives realized what had happened then. ‘No wonder Dahlia came too. It turns out that Aurora was the one who caused this.’

Then, Albert quickly said, “Dahlia, you don’t have to do this. I’m sure that Aurora didn’t do this on purpose. The doctor came just now, and he said it’s nothing serious. We’re family. There’s no need to cause such a big scene. Look at the kids—”

“Dad,” Keegan interrupted him. “We should let great-grandpa decide if he wants to forgive Aurora.”
