Chapter 1638
Stella suddenly remembered what she had told Keegan at Solstice Shore previously.
She said that she wanted him to become a father before he turned thirty-five, or he would have to use a cane to
attend the parent-teacher conference.
Although Keegan did not like her mocking him, he could not help but join her in fantasizing about their life in the
future.
However, their dreams of a wonderful future ended on New Year's Day. The person she had shared those dreams
with had disappeared forever in that icy river.
Stella kept quiet, but she was overwhelmed by emotions inside. She then shut her eyes for some time before saying
in a low voice, "My husband... has gone missing."
The mother paused, not understanding what Stella meant by "missing".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt’Did he leave her after they fought, or did he run away with another woman?1 The mother wondered to herself.
As she thought about how to respond, she heard Stella continuing, "He fell into the water, and they couldn’t find
him even after twelve days. Everyone said that he's dead, and the will executor called me last night to read his will."
The mother did not expect Stella to say that and was suddenly at a loss for words.
Then, she tried to make Stella feel better, "I'm sure that he cares a lot about you since he included you in his will."
"Yeah..." Stella murmured, "He does..."
However, Keegan had never really expressed his true feelings to Stella.
The atmosphere grew somewhat tense. The mother felt sorry for Stella and continued to console her, "There's a
wishing well up in the mountain of Jorgeville, and everyone says it's very efficacious. My father-in-law was
diagnosed with liver cancer last year, and I went there with my mother- in-law to wish for his recovery. Just a few
days later, the hospital called to say they had made a mistake with a diagnosis and that he was actually perfectly
healthy."
'It's just a misdiagnosis. Does it really have anything to do with the wishing well?' Stella thought to herself.
Also, my relative has a son with very average grades.
Before her son took the college entrance exam, she went to the wishing well, and her son scored with flying colors.
I even heard that someone's missing dog miraculously returned a few days after its owner made a wish there.
”My mother-in-law told me that as long as you're sincere, your wishes will definitely come true. I'm sure that your
husband will be back soon."
Stella kept quiet. She leaned her head against the car window, thinking about something.
After a few hours, the minivan arrived at its destination.
Stella helped the mother with her luggage as she got out of the minivan. The mother adjusted her baby carrier, and
in the blink of an eye, Stella had completely disappeared from her sight.
Jorgeville was where Arthur lived. A month ago, Arthur had asked a friend in the city to give them both a letter.
The content of the letter was simple. Arthur simply told Keegan that time was running out and he should act as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoon as possible.
So, Keegan told Arthur he would visit him with Stella once he finished his work.
However, now that Keegan was no longer around, the promise remained. Stella had probably come to Jorgeville to
fulfill Keegan's promise.
Marshall only arrived in Jorgeville around one in the morning.
Although he was in a rush, he figured it would be inappropriate to go into town and look for Stella in the middle of
the night. So, he decided to spend the night in a nearby motel and took a bus to where Arthur lived at six in the
morning.
But Stella was not there.
The only clue they had led to nothing. Stella did not bring her phone, nor did she use a proper form of
transportation. She had cut off all contact with everyone else, and nobody knew where she went.
Trevor looked everywhere and could only see her getting into a dirty, black minivan from the surveillance footage.
The car plate was so muddy that Trevor could not even read it. So, he needed some time to identify the vehicle.
Marshall had planned to return to Rivera and replanned everything. However, he could not help but wonder
whether he had arrived at Jorgeville too early and Stella might still be on her way there.
