Chapter 1489
"Good morning, Stella," Felicity greeted with a yawn. She grabbed some clothes from another room and
disappeared into the bathroom. Shortly after, she came out, all set.
Stella pushed a glass of soy milk toward her and inquired in a hushed tone, "Where's Vermont?"
"He went back to sleep," Felicity replied.
Stella pursed her lips and finally asked after a moment," How's Vermont's condition?"
Felicity let out a sigh. "It's still the same. You know, we share a bed, but his member doesn't respond to me at all.
The doctor suggested surgery, but Vermont is dead set against it, claiming it's too risky. But, I think, since he's
already living on the edge, what's the extra risk? He could just continue living the way he is."
Stella did not know what to say. Her best friend had a remarkably open mind.
"So, are you considering giving up on treatment?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I do want him to get better, but it feels like he's resisting," Felicity confessed.
Stella found it peculiar. Vermont was still young, so it was odd for him to reject treatment when he had a condition
like this. If he was naturally indifferent to sex, that would be one thing. But, taking his history with so many ex-
girlfriends into
consideration, he did not seem like the type to just let himself be.
Stella furrowed her brows and asked in a hushed tone," When exactly did he start experiencing these issues? Did it
suddenly happen, or was there an accident?"
Felicity hesitated for a moment. She glanced toward the room and whispered, "I'll tell you, but promise me you
won't spread it around. Vermont cares a lot about his pride. If word got out and bruised his ego, he'd find even
more ways to make me cater to him."
"Why on earth would I go gossip about this?" Stella assured her. She would share a bit with Keegan, but Keegan was
tight -lipped and would not spread it around.
After fidgeting for a moment, Felicity continued in a low voice, "Well, I'll tell you the truth. It was when I accidentally
burned him while I did the cupping for him."
"What? How were you involved?"
Since she had already started it, Felicity did not hold back and laid out the story for Stella.
Stella's expression changed after listening to the whole thing.
She heard about Vermont's burn from Keegan before. At the time, she had considered visiting him. However,
Keegan assured her it was not serious and that there was no need to visit him.
'So, why did Felicity claim that it led to his erectile dysfunction? Vermont was someone who would set up camp in
the hospital and accept gifts from everyone even if he just had a fever. Why would he keep the burn a secret from
others?'
"Why didn't he mention this before?" asked Stella.
"He's afraid of becoming a laughingstock. He refuses to bring it up with anyone and even had me pretend to be his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgirlfriend to cover for him," Felicity said.
Stella was stunned to hear that. "What do you mean you pretended to be his girlfriend?"
Felicity blushed and said, "It started off as a pretense, but as time went on, I fell for him. He eventually confessed to
me, and I hesitated a bit due to his condition. But then I thought of giving him a chance since being with him makes
me happy."
Stella fell silent.
No wonder Felicity announced out of the blue that she and Vermont were together. When Stella first asked her what
she liked about Vermont, she could not give a clear answer. Upon reflection, there were quite a few oddities in the
details, but she did not probe further at the time.
Thinking back to when Felicity moved into apartment 902 and the strange expressions she had, Stella suddenly
suspected the role Keegan played in all of this.
"So, when did you and Vermont officially start dating?" she asked in a low voice.
Felicity shyly replied, "It was just a few days after Jaylene's birthday party."
'This means she and Vermont weren't even in a romantic relationship yet when she was forced to move into
apartment 902! Keegan knew that Vermont's injury wasn't serious. Did that mean he knew from the start that
Vermont was just pretending to be injured?'
