Chapter 1562
Keegan remained silent.
Aurora observed his stoic demeanor and clenched her teeth. "No matter what Mom may have done, it doesn’t
diminish the fact that she raised you. You didn't visit her the last time she was in the hospital. Are you not going to
visit her this time, either? Are you completely indifferent to her well-being? Have you forgotten the promises you
made to dad before he passed away?"
Keegan's fist tightened, and he responded icily, "You don't have the right to lecture me!"
Aurora's expression turned grim. She stormed out and slammed the door behind her.
Stella looked at Keegan, who appeared distant and unfazed. She pressed her lips together and said, "You should go.
It might reflect badly on you if you don't."

concern right now."
Stella touched his hand gently and whispered, "But you should still go. The election for Vinci Rivera's chairman is
coming up soon. If this incident gets you labeled as unfilial, it won't be good for your campaign."
Keegan looked at her and thought, 'This matter is entirely unrelated to the election. The chairman is chosen based
on
their capabilities, performance, and connections. She's simply looking for an excuse so that I would visit my mom.'
Keegan hugged Stella and gave her a peck on the cheeks." Okay. But you have to come with me."
Stella was about to refuse when Keegan added, "You can wait for me in the car if you don't want to go in. We'll have
dinner with grandma after I visit my mom. She's been asking me to bring you over these past few days."
Hearing that, Stella could not refuse. "Alright," she said.
Dahlia had finished her surgery when Keegan arrived at the hospital. She had a cast on her leg. She sat on the bed
with a pale face.
Aurora was sitting beside her, peeling an orange with red- rimmed eyes.
Just as Keegan approached the door, he heard Dahlia ask," Why didn't your brother come with you?"
Aurora kept her eyes lowered. "He's in a meeting, so I didn't ask him to visit."
Dahlia fell silent. After a while, she asked, "Is he unwilling to come?"
Aurora spoke bitterly, "Now that he's head over heels for Stella, he has no time for us anymore."
Dahlia sighed. "It's all my fault. I thought your brother didn't like her and wanted to find a woman who would benefit
his career. I never expected to induce his resentment."
As she spoke, she accidentally touched her injured leg and could not help but yell out in pain.
"Mom, don't move around," Aurora hurriedly said.

she hoarsely said, "Keegan..."
Keegan did not say a word. He placed the fruit basket he was holding on the table and calmly asked, "What did the
doctor say?"
He did not ask how she fell, how serious her injuries were, or if she was in pain.
Upon noticing that, Dahlia recalled how caring Keegan was when he was younger. He would visit her every now and
then whenever she fell ill, asking if she was in pain or uncomfortable. Dahlia found her son annoying at that time
and did not give him the time of day.
However, Keegan did not care for her anymore. Their bond was no longer there. Dahlia understood that it was
impossible to mend this relationship. It was impossible that Keegan would forgive her, especially since he knew
about her trying to hurt Stella.
Dahlia clenched her hands and mustered a smile. "They said I'm fine."
