Chapter 1927


    Chapter 1927


    When Ste came out of the restroom, she turned her head to the spot where she had seen Aurora


    earlier. However, she did not see anyone there and proceeded to go back downstairs.


    Then, a loud noise, apanied by a woman''s scream, echoed in the staircase. The hotel staff on the


    floor paused.


    Then, he hurriedly rushed over and saw Ste covered in blood.


    When that person came in to tell everyone that someone had fallen, nobody knew who it was.


    However, Keegan''s face turned pale when he heard that blood was mentioned. He abruptly stood up


    and ran outside.


    Aurora''s expression changed, and she followed him out.


    Marshall watched Keegan lose hisposure as he tapped on his wine ss without showing any


    reaction.


    Felicity became very worried as well upon hearing that there was blood everywhere. With a pale face,


    she stammered," Stinky Cucumber, c-could it be... Ste—"


    Before she could finish speaking, Vermont cut her off with a teasing smile, "The stairs aren''t that high.


    Even if someone falls, how could there be blood everywhere? I''m pretty sure that person was just


    exaggerating."


    "But-"


    "Ste is not that fragile. How could she bleed from just a fall? Besides, nobody knew who that was.


    How can you be so sure that it''s her?"


    Vermont interrupted her again, and Felicity finally calmed down. She almost slipped about Ste being


    pregnant the moment she panicked earlier.


    "Let''s go and have a look first. It sounds pretty scary."


    "Sure,e on."


    Vermont stood up, and Felicity left with him. After that, Carter and Lena followed suit.


    Ka looked at Marshall, "Are you not going to check it out?"


    Marshall replied gently, "It''s going to be so crowded. I doubt I''ll be able to see anything."

    She looked at him and asked, "What if it''s someone you know?"


    Marshall lowered his gaze and said tly, "I''m in no ce to even care if it is."


    Ka pursed her lips tightly.


    Marshall, in his gentle moment, would treat everyone with kindness. But when his harsher mood struck,


    he could turn a blind eye even to those he cared.


    Suddenly, Ka remembered what her mother had told her a few days ago, "Ka, why don’t you


    consider someone else? Although Marshall Moore looks like a decent guy, I heard some things about


    the Moore family.


    "Marshall had a girlfriend before, but his family disapproved of the rtionship. So, they did something


    to force them to break up. Marshall caused a big scene and even fell ill.


    When he was sick, he did not even want to see his parents. There''s a scar on his mother''s arm, and


    thedies said that he was the one who caused it."


    Ka found it somewhat unbelievable. She had seen Marshall speaking to Ariel on the phone, and he


    always spoke very gently, never talking back at her.


    However, she had noticed a faint scar on Marshall''s left palm. It was very shallow, though she noticed it


    cut through his life and love lines.


    When Vermont was studying Felicity’s palm for her, Ka saw it when Marshall was looking at his


    palm.


    ''His palm lines... are bad,'' Ka thought to herself.


    Compared to the romantic feelings she had for Marshall, Ka was more curious about the secret he


    was hiding.


    Curiosity about a person often marked the beginning of attraction.


    Ka felt somewhat irritable. She stopped speaking to Marshall and went out on her own.


    Keegan pushed through the crowd and saw Ste sitting on the stairs.


    She was half-lying there with an extremely paleplexion, her face and hands covered in blood. Next


    to her was a scattered trash can.


    Keegan froze all over. He walked forward with his stiffened limbs and pushed aside the people standing


    in front of him.


    Ste saw him through the crowd and weakly called out," Keegan."


    His face turned even paler as he squatted down and looked at her with a distressed expression. His


    hands were trembling; he had no idea where to ce them.


    "Keegan..." Ste called out softly, extending her bloodied hand to grab Keegan.


    Keegan''s heart trembled as his eyes turned red. He carefully supported her upper body up and said in


    an extremely hoarse voice, "I''ll take you to the hospital now."


    However, Ste grabbed his hand and whispered, "Keegan, someone spilled oil on the stairs. It wasn''t


    an ident..."


    Keegan paused and shifted his gaze to the steps in front of him. Indeed, each step was covered with a


    layer of oil.


    Olivia had been renovating the hotel and was nning only to carpet the stairs after her daughter''s


    wedding. So, the steps were exposed, and someone took advantage of it.


    Keegan sounded very worried as he spoke, ''TH get someone to call the police. Let''s go to the hospital


    first."


    Ste looked frightened, with blood on her hands, clothes, and face.


    The stairs were not high, so Keegan could not figure out why she would bleed so heavily.


    She stopped him from carrying her up and said, "Lena can take care of me. I want you to stay here and


    find out who did this."


    Keegan paused and looked at her in disbelief.


    Ste leaned on his shoulder and spoke very softly, "Keegan, trust me. The baby and I are fine, but


    you''ve got to find out who''s trying to harm me. I need to know that. If you can''t do this, I''ll make sure


    the baby has absolutely no connection with the Kane family. I mean what I say."


    Keegan looked at her with an ashen face.


    It was not because he heard Ste''s threat but because someone tried to harm her and his child right


    under his nose.


    How could she be fine when she was covered in blood?


    Keegan did not listen to her and was about to take her away.


    However, Ste pressed his arm down forcefully, raised her other hand, and touched his lips with her


    bloodied thumb." Keegan, trust me," she said word by word.


    Keegan was stunned and realized the liquid on his lips did not have the smell of blood at all. He


    thought he had lost his sense of smell, so he licked his lips to taste it.


    It tasted like a mixture of fruit and honey.


    Then, he looked at Ste, dumbfounded.


    Ste quickly pushed his face, fearing that the others would see his foolish expression.


    More and more people gathered around, including the guests from the wedding, the hotel staff, and her


    close friends.


    Felicity, who had hoped that it was someone else who fell, panicked right after seeing Ste covered in


    blood in Keegan''s arms.


    Ste! Are you okay? How did you fall?"
