Chapter 2201
She asked Keegan to leave a comment too, hoping to calm Trevor down a bit. But when Keegan couldn't find Trevor’s social media post, a red exclamation mark popped up as he tried to message him, indicating that Trevor had blocked him.
Stella reassured him, "It's okay. Next time we argue, he'll have to unblock you and scold you."
Keegan was speechless.
She was bad at comforting people. It was better if she did not do it again.
After the commotion, Keegan became serious. "Don't use that trick again to fool people. Did you see how pale Trevor's face turned? He was genuinely scared."
Stella chuckled, "Your face seemed even paler than his though?"
Keegan replied softly, "I was scared too. Grandma said we should avoid taboo topics; some things shouldn't be said casually."
His expression was very serious. He used to not believe in these things, but it seemed that both of them had become superstitious and timid ever since Stella got pregnant.
Stella held his hand, gently rubbing it against her cheek, and whispered," Okay, let's not talk about it anymore."
She then reached out to touch his mouth, frowning. "Trevor was really rough on you. Does it still hurt?"
Keegan chuckled, "He actually held back. You haven't seen him in a fight; one punch can break someone's nose."
He had even specifically trained in boxing for fighting. During his rebellious phase, he even went to underground fights. Keegan had seen him throw punches, so he knew how much strength Trevor had used on him.
Though it still hurt quite a bit, being able to hear Stella's insightful analysis made it a bit more bearable.
Stella sighed, My dad said Trevor was quite obedient when he was young, but he became crooked as he grew up."
Keegan's eyelid twitched. Whether Trevor was obedient or not depends on whether he wanted to pretend. He used to play pranks on his playmates when he was young, not because he was wealthy and people were afraid to get close to him, but because he was mischievous!
But he dared not say these words in front of Stella. Just now, she sided with him because he got beaten up. If he said something negative about Trevor now, she would definitely think he was using the opportunity to shift blame.
After thinking for a moment, Keegan asked her, "Stella, have you never suspected whether I lied to you about the vasectomy?"
Stella shook her head.
Keegan's heart softened, and he squeezed her hand tightly. "Why didn't you?"
Stella said, "When you were drunk, you showed me the scar from the vasectomy. I figured you wouldn't be so bored as to deliberately cut yourself just to deceive me. You could have drawn the scar; why put yourself through that?"
The smile on Keegan's face disappeared instantly. What nonsense trust was this! She didn't trust him; she trusted his foolish behavior when he was drunk.
Stella pondered, "Which hospital did you get the vasectomy from? Isn't this a medical accident? We should find a lawyer to sue them and make them compensate! Does your classmate Joseph Quinlan handle medical disputes?"
Keegan's expression was blank. "Even if he does, I won't go to court."
Stella frowned, "It's a lot of money in compensation. Why not go to court?
We're the victims."
Keegan gritted his teeth. "Let's forget about the vasectomy, but going to court over a failed vasectomy? How embarrassing would that be for me? Besides..." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He paused, thinking of Cordelia's unsurprised reaction when Stella got pregnant. Lowering his voice, he said, "It probably wasn't a medical accident." "Huh?" Stella's eyebrows furrowed.
Keegan pursed his lips, then told Stella the truth, "It was probably Grandma who tampered with it, so the vasectomy wasn't successful."
Stella was stunned.
Keegan continued softly, "Grandma didn't know about your health condition. I told her I didn't want children, so she probably thought I had the vasectomy to be chiIdfree, so she tampered with it."
He had explained to his grandmother before going on the business trip for the surgery, but she still called several times during that time. He didn't think much of it before, but now he realized she probably knew about the surgery then, was worried but didn't dare to mention it, so she called to test the waters.
