Chapter 353
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Keegan stood outside the clinic to wait for them, and he did not realize that he had caught a lot of peopleâs attention.
Obviously, it was because of how attractive he looked, and the fact that he accompanied his wife here to see the doctor, so the ladies there got very interested in him.
However, there was one particular lady that gave him a very strange look.
Keegan noticed it, and he thought that he was standing in her way. So, he moved to the side.
However, that chatty lady opened her mouth. âYoung man, you look like a decent man. Why would you hire such an assistant?â
Keegan was puzzled.
Then, the lady continued mysteriously after seeing the confused look on his face. âYour assistant kept walking back and forth outside like a cat on a hot tin roof before you arrived. Who would be so nervous while seeing the doctor with somebody elseâs wife? Also, why would you even hire such a young assistant to take care of your beautiful wife? This is never going to end up well!â
The edge of Keeganâs mouth twitched. Then, he pursed his lips and said, âHeâs been working for me for many years.â
The lady slapped her thigh. âThatâs even scarier! Iâm sure that the bastard has developed feelings for her after so many years!â
The lady told Keegan about every suspicious thing that she noticed while spraying spit all over Keegan.
She only stopped talking when it was finally her turn to meet the doctor.
She even added before she left, âYoung man, youâd better keep an eye out on him if you donât want things to get worse.â
When Aldor returned with the water, Keegan looked at him fiercely.
Aldorâs heart sank. Then, he immediately put a smile on. âMr. Kane, are they not back yet?â
âNope.â
Keeganâs voice sounded a little cold.
So, Aldor said cautiously, âMr. Kane, do you want some water? I have both warm and cold ones. I bought some drinks too. What do you feel like drinking?â
âThereâs only four of us. Why did you buy so many drinks?â
âItâs better for ladies like Mrs. Kane and her friend to have warm drinks.â
Keegan stared at him for a second before he said out of the blue, âYouâre pretty thoughtful.â
Aldor was speechless.
Keeganâs strange tone did not sound like he was complimenting Aldor at all. The look on his face was very odd too, and it made Aidor feel like Keegan was a little bitter and angry.
Aldor was a very self-conscious person, but he could not figure out what he did wrong which couldâve to this unusual reaction from his boss.
That was why Stella and Felicity saw how uncomfortable Aldor looked while standing in front of Keegan with those drinks in his hands.
âWhy are the both of you standing right at the entrance?â
Stella pulled Keegan to the side. âYouâre in somebody elseâs way.â
Aldor saw Stella, and he felt like he was liberated. Then, he quickly grabbed two bottles of water and said, âMrs. Kane, Ms. Thompson, are you thirsty?â
Stella took one bottle from him and said to Felicity with a smile, âGo inside. Iâll wait for you here.â
Felicity took two steps forward before she turned back and grabbed the other bottle from Aldorâs hand.
Then, she said to him with a smile, âThank you.â
Stella twisted the cap open and, out of courtesy, asked Keegan, âDo you want it?â
âYeah,â Keegan said.
Stella paused. She had no choice but to hand him that bottle of water, and she got herself a new bottle.
Keegan tilted his head and looked at her.
Stella had been spending most of her time outside the house, and Keegan barely saw her at all. She would still be sleeping when Keegan woke up, and she would be working at the set when he went to sleep. However, when he was less busy and waited for her to come home at night, she would go right to sleep after taking a shower.
She just would not talk to him at all.
Keegan hated the way things became.
So, he braced himself and said, âAre youâ¦â
Felicity came out of the clinic before he could finish his sentence.
Stella immediately went to her, so Keegan swallowed back the words he was about to say.
âHey, what did Dr. Steven say?â The happy look on Felicityâs face disappeared, so Stella was a little confused. The doctor said she would be just fine after the ultrasonic inspection. Yet, she looked very down after coming out from the outpatient department.
