Chapter 1642
"Keegan once told me something, and I'll say the same to you now.
"He said: 'You can be weak with me around.'"
Marshall's voice spoke in the wind, and Stella could feel like she heard Keegan whispering in her ear, "I'm willing to
die with you, although I’d always put myself first."
What a liar!
Stella could not bear the overwhelming pain anymore and broke down crying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer cries echoed in the wind, in the mountain, and in the cascading river. She wondered if they could reach Keegan
and show him how much she missed him.
She could not control her emotions any longer, and her heart was filled with resentment and hate.
"Why did you have to bring the police there?
"Why did you have to save me?"
She cried as she asked, and Marshall was heartbroken listening to her questions. With a tearful eye, he repeatedly
apologized.
Stella vented without holding back. Her voice even turned hoarse from the crying.
Her cries gradually subsided and eventually stopped. Then,
Marshall spoke again, "Let's go down the mountain. I'll come here again with you tomorrow if you want to write
more."
"It's fine." Stella packed her stuff as she said in a hoarse voice, "I'll wait for him at home."
She stood up while holding her bag and started walking away. Marshall followed behind her silently.
When they were on the narrow path, Stella's legs suddenly went weak, and Marshall was startled. He immediately
grabbed her, "Are you okay?"
Stella brushed his hand off, "Yeah."
She continued to move forward, and her vision became increasingly blurry. Marshall said something, but she could
not hear it clearly. Then, she stumbled and passed out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella had a high fever after coming down from the mountain.
Marshall brought her to a clinic, where the doctor on duty seemed to be very inexperienced. He suggested giving
her an injection, but the doctor could not even hold the syringe steady. Although Stella was having a fever, she
would not stop moving and kept blabbering stuff.
Marshall was worried that the doctor might hurt her when giving her the injection, so he told the doctor to just give
Stella some medicine.
So, the doctor did as Marshall said. However, Stella vomited it out right after taking it.
After feeding her several times more, the doctor switched to liquid medicine. They finally managed to get the
medicine into her.
Her body temperature fluctuated throughout the night, and she finally began to recover at noon the next day.
