Chapter 1669
Stella clutched the coat, and her breath was hitching with emotion. The nurse struggled to get the garment out of
Stella’s hand and called for her to let go.
Snapping back to reality, Stella released her grip and apologized.
The nurse found that Stella's behavior was odd, but she was in a rush to wash the coat. So, she did not dwell on it
much and left.
Suddenly, Stella's phone vibrated in her bag. She answered the call and whispered, "Come up to the twelfth floor."
Felicity arrived promptly.
Stella shared her discovery with Felicity, who was astonished. "Did you get a clear look?"
"Felicity, that coat is the same size as the one Keegan wore, and it has bloodstains on the back. I don't believe this is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjust a coincidence. I feel like Keegan is here. I can feel it." Stella responded in excitement.
Felicity was always supportive of her best friend. Although she found that the situation was odd, she said, "Then,
let's go in and see what that wolf is up to!"
Stella had considered the possibility of Keegan being held captive there before arriving at the hospital. Initially, she
thought of waiting for Jaylene to leave before entering.
However, now that she knew there was a good chance Keegan was here, she could not wait another second.
With determination, Felicity pulled Stella and opened the door to the ward.
The bed in the ward was empty. Jaylene, who was standing by the window, turned to the sound. She looked
puzzled." Stella, what are you doing here?"
Before Stella could speak, Felicity got straight to the point." Where's Keegan? Where are you hiding him?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Jaylene asked in a confused manner.
"Quit pretending! You're perfectly fine. Why would you sneak around in a hospital at this time of the night?" Felicity
accused.
Jaylene frowned. "I don’t know what you're talking about. I came to the hospital to visit my teacher. Please leave."
"You must be feeling guilty, huh? Why are you trying to get us to leave? Where's your teacher if you came here to
visit him? " Felicity pressed.
"He's in the rehabilitation room. He's not back yet," Jaylene replied.
Felicity sarcastically remarked, "So, you're telling me that he's injured and in rehab training? Who do you think
you're trying to fool?"
Jaylene was visibly irritated. She was about to say something when an elderly man in his sixties or seventies
with grey hair entered the room in a wheelchair.
Jaylene's tense expression softened, and she went forward. She crouched down to cover the man's legs with a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmblanket. Then, she gently said, "Are you done with the training?"
Felicity was momentarily stunned. 'Was she telling the truth?'
The old man nodded before looking at Stella and Felicity curiously. "Jaylene, are these your friends?"
Jaylene forced a smile. "That's my sister, and that's her friend. They came to talk to me. I'll send them away now."
She stood up, walked to Stella, and said, "As you can see, Stella, I'm not lying. I know that something bad happened
to Keegan, and you're upset. But that's no reason for you to barge in here. My teacher is still recovering from a car
accident. Please leave so that he can rest."
Stella's gaze shifted from the erasable whiteboard in the corner to Jaylene's face.
She stared at Jaylene with an intense gaze and asked," Where's Keegan?"
Jaylene furrowed her brows. "I told you I don't know. Stop causing a scene here."
Tears welled up in Stella's eyes, as she grabbed Jaylene by the collar. "Where did you hide him? How is he? Tell me,
where did you take him?!"
Jaylene pushed Stella's hands away and said, "I don't know! You're hurting me!"
"Why don't you girls talk it out? There's no need to resort to violence."
