Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 209
When they went in, Stella’s face was pale while she lay down on the couch. She struggled to a sitting position when she heard
the noises.
Cordelia immediately said, “Don’t move, my good girl. You should just lie down.”
“Grandma”
Cordelia kindly
ld, “How are you? Are you feeling better?”
“I still feel nauseous. But, I feel a lot better than just now. I’m sorry that I made you
you worry.”
“It’s okay as long as you’re fine. I thought...” Cordelia paused for a moment before she sighed. “Forget it. Get well soon.”
While Cordelia was whispering to Stella, Dahlia suddenly received a message on her phone.
She lowered her head and took a look at it. She frowned slightly, and her eyes looked abruptly gloomy.
She then pursed her lips as she put her phone away. She stepped forward and said, “Mom, why don’t we send Stella back? The
exhibition is ending soon anyway. And, you’ve been standing for a long time. You should go home and rest.”
Cordelia nodded. She turned her head to Keegan and said, “Help Stella get in my car. There’s a bed in my car. She’ll feel more
comfortable lying down.”
Irene, as the host, asked Marshall to help her send them away after she expressed her sympathy.
Cordelia was old. She had a bad waist and knees. So, her car was designed to be exceptionally comfortable. But, at that
moment, Stella could not enjoy this luxury.
Cordelia talked to Stella to make sure that she was fine. Stella felt touched but guilty. She even wanted to tell Cordelia the truth.
But, just when she was about to say it, she then saw Cordelia handing her a sour lemon candy.

“Stella, does your mouth feel uncomfortable? Try putting the candy in your mouth. See if you’ll feel better. If you don’t like this
flavor, we have sour lime candy and sour tangerine candy too. Which flavor do you want?”
Baldwin, who was sitting in front, said, “Ms. Cordelia, Ms. Stella isn’t pregnant. Sour candies won’t help. There’s a box of mint
candy in front. Remove the candy wrapper and give one to her. Maybe she’ll feel better.”
Stella suddenly could not speak. ‘Ms. Cordelia wants a great-grandchild so badly that she keeps food that a pregnant lady would
like to eat in the car. But, I pretended to vomit and gave her false hope. I feel increasingly guilty.”
“Sour lime candy. Grandma, I like sour lime flavor.”
Cordelia then removed the candy wrapper. “Close your eyes and take a nap after you eat it. You’ll be home very soon.”
Stella agreed with a grunt. She then obediently closed her eyes.
Keegan came to carry Stella down the car when they arrived at the Royalpark Villa. Initially, Cordelia did not plan to go in. Dahlia
said, “Mother, let’s go inside. It’s been some time since we’re here at Keegan’s place.”
Cordelia wanted to say that she just came here in the afternoon. But, she swallowed those words when she thought about the
lies she told Dahlia. “Alright. Let’s go inside.”
Keegan carried Stella to the bedroom. Dahlia helped Cordelia and followed them.
Stella felt very uncomfortable pretending to be sick. She signaled Keegan to quickly send them away by quietly pinching
Keegan’s waist. She would get caught for lying if she had to pretend any longer.
Keegan then gave her a “you brought this on yourself” look.
After Keegan covered Stella in a blanket, Cordelia worriedly sat on the edge of the bed and began to advise her endlessly.
She was even afraid that Stella could not eat well and wanted to bring her personal chef here. They chatted for a long time.
Stella was on pins and needles. “Grandma, it’s fine. Our housekeeper can cook quite well. It’s very late now. You should go
home and get some rest. Otherwise, your health will be affected.” Cordelia noticed that Stella still did not look too good. So, she
could not bear to nag her any longer. “Alright. You just get well. I’ll visit you again in a few days.”

Keegan then helped Cordelia to get up. When Aurora saw that Cordelia was going to leave, she suddenly said, “Mom, grandma,
look. What’s this?”
Stella frowned. She suddenly looked stiff when she glanced at the thing in Aurora’s hand.
