Chapter 1729
Keegan froze upon hearing what the horse trainer had said." This horse got injured?"
"Mr. Moore was riding this horse during your race with him. The horse went out of control because of the injury.
Look, right here on its neck."
Ron lifted the horse's head, revealing a long gash beneath its mane. "There's a big cut here. Not sure what caused
it, maybe a nail. When the reins tightened, the wound got worse. That's why the horse got jumpy and hard to
control."
He went on, "The wound's taking ages to heal. It's been over a month, and some parts still don't have fur. Probably
the reins touched it while the horse was running, causing such a reaction."
Ron cared deeply for the horses he worked with year-round. Worried Keegan might sell or put the horse down, he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpleaded, "This horse is usually really calm and even won awards. If it weren't for the injury, it wouldn't have acted
up. Just give me some time, Mr. Kane. I'll train it well."
Lost in thought, Keegan snapped back, "I don't recall any of that. Was Marshall hurt during that time?"
"No, Mr. Moore wasn't injured. But your arm dislocated from saving him."
Keegan fell silent for a moment and said, "Thankfully, nothing major occurred today. But if there's another incident,
we'll have to get rid of this horse. We can't keep one that causes harm."
Ron immediately assured him, "There won't be a next time, I promise."
Keegan stood there, looking at the horse's wound briefly, then turned and walked away.
Meanwhile, Stella called Luke on her way back.
"Dr. Quinn, are you currently in Rivera?"
"Yes, I am. Can we meet? I have something to discuss with you."
"Great, I'll send you my location when I arrive."
After hanging up, Stella drove to a Chinese restaurant not far from where Luke was giving a lecture.
In a short while, Luke arrived.
After placing their orders and waiting for the waiter to leave, Stella lowered her voice, "Dr. Quinn, I might be
pregnant."
Dr. Quinn was taken aback. "Congratulations! Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"
Shaking her head, Stella replied, "I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and there was a faint line. I had plans today, so
I haven't had a chance to go to the hospital."
Luke's expression turned serious, "Pregnancy tests are quite accurate. One dark line and one faint line usually
indicate early pregnancy due to low hormone levels. You should head to the hospital."
Concerned, Stella bit her lip. "But my husband had a vasectomy. How can I be pregnant?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDr. Quinn looked puzzled. "Has he had a reversal surgery?"
Stella shook her head.
Dr. Quinn furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before saying, "Either the surgery failed, or he never had it
done."
Stella pondered for a moment and felt the prior possibility was more likely.
If Keegan had told her he had undergone the vasectomy while sober, she would have thought he was lying to her.
However, he was clearly drunk when he informed her about the vasectomy.
Keegan wouldn't lie when he was drunk. Additionally, they were already divorced at that time, so he had no reason
to deceive her.
'Damn it. Which doctor did he go to for that vasectomy? The surgery failed, and I don't even know if it affected his
health.'
With these thoughts, Stella expressed her concerns to Luke.
Luke waved his hand and said, "If the surgery is unsuccessful, the worst outcome would be that it doesn't effectively
prevent contraception. If you're concerned, consider taking him to the hospital for an examination."
Stella nodded. "Got it. Thank you, Dr. Quinn."
