Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 14


    Chapter 14


    Ste swallowed every word that she wanted to say. She could not speak another word anymore.


    ‘Right. How can I ever count on Keegan?”


    “Ste?”


    Keegan raised his voice. The weird silence made him feel inexplicably confused.


    After a few seconds, Ste spoke again, “I have things to do today. Can we do this another time?”


    Keegan coldly smiled, “Another time? Ste, do you think I’m so free like you? The one who wanted to


    get a divorce was you. And, you’ve gone missing during this crucial time. What are you trying to do?”


    Ste’s face was pale. Her voice was husky as she said, “I really have something to do today. I can’t


    come Let me know which day you’re free. I’ll arrive on time whenever you say.”


    “I have no time for your jokes!”


    He said icily and ended the call.


    Ste clutched her phone. Sheughed at herself after a while.


    Whenever she needed Keegan the most, he was never there for her. After her hopes were crushed,


    she suddenly no longer expected anything from him.


    She sat alone in the quiet waiting room. After waiting for an hour, she woke up when the nurse


    informed her that her mother was moved to the ward.


    Rainee was narrowly rescued. But, the doctor told Ste that the functions of her mother’s body parts


    were starting to deteriorate noticeably. That was not a good sign. So, they asked her to have realistic


    expectations.


    Ste thanked the doctor before she sent him away. She then asked the orderly to get a tub of hot


    water.


    When the orderly saw her going to take the towel, she immediately said, “Ms. Jewell, I’ll help you with


    it.”


    “It’s fine. I’ll do it myself. You should go and get some rest. I’ll let you know when I need your help.”


    The orderly went out after hearing what she said.


    Ste wrung out the wet towel, sat next to the bed, and wiped Rainee’s body with it.


    It had been six years since the incident. Rainee had been in this state sleeping on the hospital bed for


    six


    years.


    The muscles of her whole body almostpletely shrunk down. Her body that was lying on the bed


    was as withered as a dead tree. She could only sustain her life by relying on nutrient solutions. Even


    so, her body was still getting weaker every day.


    Maybe one day when Ste woke up, she could no longer see her again.


    Humans were weird. When Ste was a kid, Rainee did not treat her very well. She was a strict mother.


    She kept a tight rein on her. Her child was more like an art that she carefully crafted. Motherly love was


    just an anciry product when she was aplishing her expectation.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    But, it was almost natural for a child to rely on her mother. Even if the motherly love she got was terribly


    little, it was still something that she could not give up. It did not matter if Rainee would just stay lying on


    the bed forever. It would make Ste feel less afraid in this world.


    ‘Luckily, she’s still alive.‘


    She carefully wiped the front part of Rainee’s body. She had to ask for the orderly’s help to roll over her


    mother.


    She was drowning in sweat after cleaning her up.


    Hot water was only avable after eight at night in the washroom of Rainee’s ward.


    The orderly said that there was a public bath downstairs. It was specifically for the apanying staff


    to use. Ste could go there to clean herself up. The nurse even enthusiastically lent her a set of


    clothes. Ste thanked the nurse. She then took the toiletries to the public bath that was mentioned by


    the orderly.


    It was the hospital staff’s dinner time. So, there were very few people in the bathroom. She felt a lot


    more refreshed after taking a shower. And, her headache got better.


    The sky outside was dark, as it was already seven–thirty in the evening.
