Chapter 1422
Coco had made significant progress in her recovery over the past month.
"I'm completely fine," the determined little girl declared.
"Is that so?" Keegan responded calmly. "Then head to the field, run a couple of laps, and ask your caretaker to
record a video. After that, grab a jump rope and jump 200 times. If you're not too out of breath, I'll come pick you
up."
Coco could not believe what she was hearing. "Do you treat Aunt Stella like this, too?" she asked.
Keegan chuckled, "Of course not. I like her too much to see her get tired."

"Not really,” Keegan joked.
Coco was frustrated. "Then why do you care about me if you don't like me?"
Keegan sighed, "Don't throw a tantrum, Coco. Just take your medicine. The sooner you get better, the sooner I can
pick you up."
"Will you adopt me?" Coco pouted and asked in a soft voice.
"No. You have your own family."
"But why aren't they here to take care of me?"
"They..." Keegan paused and lowered his voice. "They're afraid you'll get hurt."
Coco felt a little devastated. After a while, she asked, "Why aren't you my daddy?"
Keegan was not one to comfort children. He truly did not know how to respond to her question. He listened to the
girl's sobs and stated, "Your dad is an amazing person."
Coco held back her tears at the mention of her dad. "More amazing than you?" she asked.
"Yeah. Much more amazing than me."
"When can I meet him?"
Keegan hesitated for a moment before stating, "Some day."
Coco soon cheered up again. "I saw Aunt Stella on TV. She's so pretty. Will I be as beautiful as her when I grow up?"
"Probably not. Your mom isn't as beautiful as she is," Keegan teased.

His words rendered Coco speechless. "You're a meanie!" She said.
The dresses Keegan had ordered were stunning and perfectly suitable for the occasion. The colors were not too
flashy, and the styles were elegant. Stella tried on a few of them and eventually settled on a peach-colored gown.
She did not want her dress to be too plain, nor did she want it to overpower her makeup. After careful
consideration, the peach-colored dress seemed to be the most suitable choice.
Stella put it on and came out from the dressing room to show Felicity.
"This gown isn't particularly stunning, but you wearing it elevates it quite a bit," Felicity commented.
Stella laughed, "I think you've been spending too much time with Vermont. You're getting better at giving
compliments."
"I'm just being truthful. Not everyone can pull off this dress. But it exudes elegance when you have it on."
Stella twirled in front of the mirror and felt pleased with herself. "Thank you," she said.
After that, Felicity asked for Stella's help to pick out a dress for her since she did not have much experience
choosing outfits for huge events.
