Chapter 1729


    Keegan froze upon hearing what the horse trainer had said.” This horse got injured?”


    “Mr. Moore was riding this horse during your race with him. The horse went out of control because of


    the injury. Look, right here on its neck.”


    Ron lifted the horse’s head, revealing a long gash beneath its mane. “There’s a big cut here. Not sure


    what caused it, maybe a nail. When the reins tightened, the wound got worse. That’s why the horse got


    jumpy and hard to control.”


    He went on, “The wound’s taking ages to heal. It’s been over a month, and some parts still don’t have


    fur. Probably the reins touched it while the horse was running, causing such a reaction.”


    Ron cared deeply for the horses he worked with year-round. Worried Keegan might sell or put the


    horse down, he pleaded, “This horse is usually really calm and even won awards. If it weren’t for the


    injury, it wouldn’t have acted up. Just give me some time, Mr. Kane. I’ll train it well.”


    Lost in thought, Keegan snapped back, “I don’t recall any of that. Was Marshall hurt during that time?”


    “No, Mr. Moore wasn’t injured. But your arm dislocated from saving him.”


    Keegan fell silent for a moment and said, “Thankfully, nothing major urred today. But if there’s


    another incident, we’ll have to get rid of this horse. We can’t keep one that causes harm.”


    Ron immediately assured him, “There won’t be a next time, I promise.”


    Keegan stood there, looking at the horse’s wound briefly, then turned and walked away.

    Meanwhile, Ste called Luke on her way back.


    “Dr. Quinn, are you currently in Rivera?”


    “Yes, I am. Can we meet? I have something to discuss with you.”


    “Great, I’ll send you my location when I arrive.”


    After hanging up, Ste drove to a Chinese restaurant not far from where Luke was giving a lecture.


    In a short while, Luke arrived.


    After cing their orders and waiting for the waiter to leave, Ste lowered her voice, “Dr. Quinn, I


    might be pregnant.”


    Dr. Quinn was taken aback. “Congrattions! Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?”


    Shaking her head, Ste replied, “I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and there was a faint line. I had


    ns today, so I haven’t had a chance to go to the hospital.”


    Luke’s expression turned serious, “Pregnancy tests are quite urate. One dark line and one faint line


    usually indicate early pregnancy due to low hormone levels. You should head to the hospital.”


    Concerned, Ste bit her lip. “But my husband had a vasectomy. How can I be pregnant?”


    Dr. Quinn looked puzzled. “Has he had a reversal surgery?”


    Ste shook her head.


    Dr. Quinn furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before saying, “Either the surgery failed, or he


    never had it done.”


    Ste pondered for a moment and felt the prior possibility was more likely.


    If Keegan had told her he had undergone the vasectomy while sober, she would have thought he was


    lying to her. However, he was clearly drunk when he informed her about the vasectomy.


    divorced at that time, so he had no reason to deceive her.


    ‘Damn it. Which doctor did he go to for that vasectomy? The surgery failed, and I don’t even know if it


    affected his health.’ With these thoughts, Ste expressed her concerns to Luke.


    Luke waved his hand and said, “If the surgery is unsessful, the worst oue would be that it


    doesn’t effectively prevent contraception. If you’re concerned, consider taking him to the hospital for an


    examination.”


    Ste nodded. “Got it. Thank you, Dr. Quinn.”
