Chapter 1489
“Good morning, Ste,” Felicity greeted with a yawn. She grabbed some clothes from another room
and disappeared into the bathroom. Shortly after, she came out, all set.
Ste pushed a ss of soy milk toward her and inquired in a hushed tone, “Where’s Vermont?”
“He went back to sleep,” Felicity replied.
Ste pursed her lips and finally asked after a moment,” How’s Vermont’s condition?”
Felicity let out a sigh. “It’s still the same. You know, we share a bed, but his member doesn’t respond to
me at all. The doctor suggested surgery, but Vermont is dead set against it, iming it’s too risky. But, I
think, since he’s already living on the edge, what’s the extra risk? He could just continue living the way
he is.”

Ste did not know what to say. Her best friend had a remarkably open mind.
“So, are you considering giving up on treatment?”
“I do want him to get better, but it feels like he’s resisting,” Felicity confessed.
Ste found it peculiar. Vermont was still young, so it was odd for him to reject treatment when he had
a condition like this. If he was naturally indifferent to ***, that would be one thing. But, taking his history
with so many ex-girlfriends into
consideration, he did not seem like the type to just let himself be.
Ste furrowed her brows and asked in a hushed tone,” When exactly did he start experiencing these
issues? Did it suddenly happen, or was there an ident?”
Felicity hesitated for a moment. She nced toward the room and whispered, “I’ll tell you, but promise
me you won’t spread it around. Vermont cares a lot about his pride. If word got out and bruised his ego,
he’d find even more ways to make me cater to him.”
“Why on earth would I go gossip about this?” Ste assured her. She would share a bit with Keegan,
but Keegan was tight -lipped and would not spread it around.
After fidgeting for a moment, Felicity continued in a low voice, “Well, I’ll tell you the truth. It was when I
identally burned him while I did the cupping for him.”
“What? How were you involved?”
Since she had already started it, Felicity did not hold back andid out the story for Ste.
Ste’s expression changed after listening to the whole thing.
She heard about Vermont’s burn from Keegan before. At the time, she had considered visiting him.
However, Keegan assured her it was not serious and that there was no need to visit him.
‘So, why did Felicity im that it led to his erectile dysfunction? Vermont was someone who would set
up camp in the hospital and ept gifts from everyone even if he just had a fever. Why would he keep
the burn a secret from others?’
“Why didn’t he mention this before?” asked Ste.
“He’s afraid of bing aughingstock. He refuses to bring it up with anyone and even had me
pretend to be his girlfriend to cover for him,” Felicity said.
Ste was stunned to hear that. “What do you mean you pretended to be his girlfriend?”
Felicity blushed and said, “It started off as a pretense, but as time went on, I fell for him. He eventually
confessed to me, and I hesitated a bit due to his condition. But then I thought of giving him a chance
since being with him makes me happy.”
Ste fell silent.
No wonder Felicity announced out of the blue that she and Vermont were together. When Ste first
asked her what she liked about Vermont, she could not give a clear answer. Upon reflection, there were
quite a few oddities in the details, but she did not probe further at the time.
Thinking back to when Felicity moved into apartment 902 and the strange expressions she had, Ste
suddenly suspected the role Keegan yed in all of this.
“So, when did you and Vermont officially start dating?” she asked in a low voice.
Felicity shyly replied, “It was just a few days after Jaylene’s birthday party.”
‘This means she and Vermont weren’t even in a romantic rtionship yet when she was forced to move
into
apartment 902! Keegan knew that Vermont’s injury wasn’t serious. Did that mean he knew from the
start that Vermont was just pretending to be injured?’
