FreeNovelChapter 714
Stella paused before she realized that Keegan was talking about what was happening on the Internet.
Then, she lied to Keegan. "I don't care what other people have to say about me."
She would not be so depressed last year because of what the netizens said if what she said was true.
Keegan did not ask her any further about it. He gazed downward and softly said, "I do. Talk to me if you
can't sleep. Don't take sleeping pills. They're not good for you."
Stella was a little stunned. Then, she pretended to be unbothered. "Did you think I can get sleeping
pills just anywhere? I don't have access to them anyway even if I wanted to take them."
"That's great," Keegan said in a hoarse voice. "I was worried."
He would have trouble falling asleep whenever he thought about the depression test result in court.
It just kept reminding him how incompetent he was as a husband.
He was wrong when he thought that Stella divorced him out of impulse. However, the truth was that he
disappointed her too many times, and Stella would rather lose everything she had than be associated
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith him in any way.
Stella loved money, but she could give it up. She also loved... how he looked, and she could dump him
too.
He could always make the right decision at work, but never once when it came to Stella. He only
started to realize that human emotions were not a programmed system and that there was no right
answer to them after the divorce.
He figured that he had to find out what he did for Stella before he could expect anything in return.
Stella gazed downward and grabbed the corner of her blanket as she said in a low voice, "You've
always been a coward. I've never seen a man getting so freaked out over a needle."
Keegan kept quiet.
Obviously, Keegan was not afraid of needles.
He just did not like going to the hospital.
However, he had a very terrible gastric, and Stella forced him to go to the hospital.
A new nurse was assigned to inject the IV fluids for him. Not only that the nurse could not find the vein
after poking the needle into him a few times, but she also would not stop looking at his face.
Keegan hated being stared at. So, he got very mad after what the nurse did and how unprofessional
she was.
Stella thought that he was afraid of needles. She went to him and moved his head to the side before
she softly said, “Come on. You won't feel scared if you don't look."
Keegan was not scared at all. However, he felt very strange after being coaxed for the first time in his
life.
He was about to say something, but the nurse missed the vein again. It hurt him so much that he
wanted to tell the nurse off.
However, Stella held his face tightly and softly said, ’’Listen to me, it'll be over soon. I'll put on the
pajamas you bought for me when we go home later."
Keegan paused, and he felt blood rushing up to his head.
The nurse jabbed him again, and he started bleeding.
Keegan acted as if he could not feel it at all because all he thought about was how Stella looked when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe wore the pajamas that he gifted her.
Then, he scolded Stella while blushing, "You're so shameless."
Stella replied, "You're my husband, not an outsider."
However, Stella never wore it for him one month after getting discharged.
Keegan only realized that she was lying to him. She forgot everything she said to him right after getting
what she wanted.
Until now, Stella still thought that he was afraid of needles.
Keegan thought for a while. Then, he said softly without denying, "Injection hurts a lot."
Stella chuckled and said happily, "What a coward."
Keegan said in a low voice. "Put your phone down, turn on your speaker, and close your eyes."
"Why?"
Keegan said, "Vermont sent me a lullaby, and he claimed that it can make him fall asleep in three
seconds. I'll play it for you."
"Three seconds? Even sleeping pills aren't that effective."
Stella did not believe him, but she did as he said anyway.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
Then, Keegan played the song.
