Chapter 1626


    Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1626 [Eleven Jewell]


    Keegan closed his mouth and remained silent. Both he and Ste were conserving what little strength


    they had left in the freezing night. Ste was drained of energy. Her lips were turning into a bluish hue


    from the cold. Her mind was starting to blur, but she clung to the branch with sheer determination.


    All of a sudden, a noise echoed from the shore. Ste snapped back to reality and said, “Keegan, they’re


    here! They’re here!”


    She turned her head, but the person behind her had vanished without her noticing.


    The bitter cold seemed to intensify. Ste’s face grew even paler, as she shouted Keegan’s name into


    the empty stretch of water. Yet, all that met her


    cries was the relentless sound of the flowing river.


    Ste released her grip on the branch, intending to swim away. However, she discovered that she was


    tethered to the branch. Before letting go, Keegan had


    mustered thest ounces of his strength to secure her in ce with a belt.


    Even if she was weak, the belt would provide some support, allowing her to hold on a while longer.


    The river water was numbingly cold, causing Ste to be limp long ago. Hence,


    she waspletely unaware of Keegan’s efforts. Her face turned ashen, and she frantically struggled to


    remove the belt.


    Not long after, the searchlights shone upon Ste. Someone shouted, and several people rushed over.


    They worked tirelessly to bring her onto the shore.


    Ste was crying, as she struggled to get out of the water. The bone-piercing cold,pounded by a day


    of anxiety and fear, along with the shock of learning


    that Keegan was missing, overwhelmed her. In the end, she lost all consciousness.


    Ste was unconscious for three days.


    Wenham and Trevor were in distress while they watched over her in the hospital. Both of them were in a


    bad state. They did not dare to inform Edith and Wilfred of the situation. They fear that it would cause


    them to worry.


    When Felicity and Vermont came to visit, they noticed that both men had dark circles under their eyes.


    Felicity was on the verge of tears at the sight of her best friend on the hospital bed.


    Meanwhile, Vermont exchanged a few words with the Sauns and said, “Mr.


    Saun, Felicity and I will stay here to take care of things. You and Trevor should go home and freshen up.


    Get some rest ande backter.”


    “I’m not tired,” Wenham said in a low voice.


    “It doesn’t matter. You need to rest. Ste hasn’t woken up yet. You wouldn’t want her to worry about


    your health, would you?” Vermont insisted.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Wenham remained silent for a moment before he said, “Are there any updates?”


    Vermont’s face darkened, and Wenham instantly knew the answer. Wenham clenched his fists and did


    not speak for a long time. After a while, he said, “If


    Ste wakes up, don’t tell her the truth. Just say that Keegan has been taken to Salcator for treatment.”


    Wenham knew that Ste was smart, and the excuse would not hold for long.


    But he could not bear the thought of his daughter going through another ordeal.


    She would be devastated to know that they had not found Keegan yet,


    especially since she was willing to jump off a bridge just to save him.


    Vermont nodded, and his eyes were red.


    Felicity turned away to wipe her tears. She could not believe that Keegan was really gone.


    The search and rescue team hadbed through nearly every inch of that river for three full days, but


    there was still no sign of Keegan. It was very likely that he had been swept into another river by the


    current. In that case, the chances of finding him were extremely slim.


    Even though the Kane family had kept this incident under wraps, the search and rescue efforts had not


    ceased. However, they were now looking for a dead body.
