Chapter 1421
Keegan had arrived at the location earlier than expected. As Stella entered, she found him seated on the sofa,
flipping through fashion magazines in boredom. Upon hearing her footsteps, he looked up, rose, and took her hand.
Stella had rushed over from the set, so she just dressed lightly. Her hands were cold from the air. Keegan casually
tucked her hand into his pocket and whispered, "Didn't you turn on the heater in the car?"
"Well, it was just a ten-minute drive," Stella chuckled.
Hearing that, Keegan removed his coat and draped it over her shoulders. They were snuggling close to each other
when a familiar voice sounded nearby.
"The banquet is for Stella, not me. Why should I bother picking out a dress? I don't want to outshine her."
"Relax. You're not going to outshine her."

circle tomorrow. I previously mentioned I was off the market, but they didn't believe me. I have to bring you along
to show them I'm taken."
Felicity glanced at him. "Taken by what?"
"Taken for granted, it seems," Vermont chuckled.
Felicity balled her fist, ready to hit him. But as she looked up, she saw Stella and Keegan. She instantly disregarded
Vermont and ran over, calling Stella's name. "Stella, are you here to pick out a dress? Have you found one you like
yet?"
Stella shook her head. "Not yet. I haven't even tried anything on."
Felicity immediately took Stella's hand and said, "Perfect. Let's do it together."
While the two ladies went off to choose dresses, the two men exchanged glances.
"The party is tomorrow, and you just brought her to try on dresses today?" asked Vermont. He initially planned to
help Felicity with the zipper and have some intimate contact while she tried on her dresses. But he could not do that
now with Stella here. So, his words were not out of concern but rather a complaint.
Keegan gave him a sidelong glance and said. "Was the chicken soup effective?"
Vermont gritted his teeth upon hearing that. "Do you have to bring that up?"
Keegan shrugged. "I'm not the one who's pretending to have erectile dysfunction. Hurry up and find a chance to
'recover.' Don't let Ms. Thompson catch you in the lie, or you'll be dead."
"Do you think I don't want to? When we were at the hospital, she told the doctor about my condition. The dude is
such a bad actor; he told her the soup wouldn't help, and I had to undergo surgery."
Vermont clenched his teeth and continued, "I thought she would get off my back and stop trying to feed me chicken
soup. But now, she's trying to find doctors to operate on me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan laughed upon hearing that. "I say just go for it. You'd be able to openly declare yourself healthy once you
come out of the operating room."
"It's easy for you to say. Why don't you go for it?"
'It's not like I haven't had surgery done on my penis before.' Just as Keegan was thinking this, his phone rang. He
checked the caller ID and said, "Excuse me, I have to take this. You stay here and keep an eye on things."
Keegan walked out and made sure no one was around before answering the call.
A woman's voice came through the phone. "Mr. Kane, Coco has a fever and refuses to take her medicine. She
insists on talking to you no matter how we try to coax her."
Keegan hesitated and said, "Give her the phone."
After a short while, a weak voice of a young girl came through. "Liar!"
Keegan asked, "What did I lie to you about?"
"You said you'd take me to see Aunt Stella after my surgery, but you still haven't fulfilled your promise!"
Keegan explained, "You must have remembered it wrongly. I said I'll take you to see her once you're fully
recuperated. And you haven't completely recovered yet, have you?"
Coco's body had rejected the bone marrow when she first got the transplant.
