Chapter 1453
Jaylene's face flushed, as she struggled to breathe. The veins on her forehead bulged. Many onlookers were
witnessing this situation for the first time, and their reactions were delayed. All the guests were taken aback by
Jaylene's distressing condition. Some instinctively stepped back to give her space. 1
Stella frowned. She was prepared to approach and assess the situation, but Keegan had already appeared by her
side. Then, he gently restrained her by the wrist. "Don't get too close," he murmured to her.
Stella complied, holding her position without moving. The sudden commotion quickly attracted attention. Trevor
promptly arrived to disperse the gathering. Witnessing her daughter's struggle, Darcie's eyes reddened. She swiftly
embraced her and urgently called for someone to fetch her medicine. Jaylene's symptoms showed no sign of
improvement after a few puffs from the inhaler. This caused Darcie to worry even more.
Wenham's face was tense at the moment. He comforted Darcie while instructing Trevor to promptly arrange

"Wasn't Jaylene just talking to Stella? Why did she suddenly have an asthma attack?"
"Could Stella have said something that upset Jaylene?"
"It seems like Stella's makeup artist appointment was canceled because of Jaylene. She thought it was intentional,
and they got into an argument."
"There wasn't an argument. I was right here. They hardly exchanged a few words before Jaylene had an attack."
"But it's still Stella's doing, isn't it?"
Stella's gaze darkened. 'If Keegan had not held me back, and I had moved forward to assist, would I still face these
unwarranted accusations?'
Stella did not realize that Keegan had not considered this either. He was simply alarmed by Jaylene's distressed
state and was concerned that Stella might inadvertently exacerbate the situation.
On the other hand, Felicity was seething with anger. "She had an emotional outburst and then fell ill. It's her own
inability to control her emotions. What does this have to do with Stella? Does she blame the TV shows for upsetting
her if she watches something emotional? These people are nuts! " she murmured to Vermont.
Vermont consoled her with a pat on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "We can't control what comes out of other
people's mouths. Mr. Saun isn't unreasonable; I'm sure he won't blame Stella."
Due to Jaylene's sudden condition, the celebration quickly concluded. Even if Jaylene was not Wenham's biological
daughter, he had raised her for many years and even lived abroad for an extended period to ensure that she
received
proper medical care.
Continuing the banquet would be out of the question. If he failed to address this situation, it could give rise to
criticism.
Wenham was worried that Stella might misunderstand, so he intended to provide his daughter with an explanation.
Stella, however, understood perfectly. "Go ahead, dad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan and I will stay here to see off the guests. We'll go to the hospital after that."
Wenham was touched by his daughter's understanding and said, "Don't pay attention to those people. Jaylene's
health has always been weak. This has nothing to do with you."
Stella smiled. "I know, dad."
Following that, Wenham and his entourage escorted Jaylene to the hospital.
Wilfred and Edith were a little displeased with this sudden turn of events but did not voice their concerns since
Jaylene's life was on the line. However, the two elders were aging, and their bodies could not bear the strain.
Therefore, Daryl and Katherine decided to take them home.
When they were ready to leave, Daryl noticed that Leighton was not following them. "Why are you still lingering
here? Let's go," he called out.
Leighton did not move. "I'll visit the hospital later."
Daryl's expression was odd. 'This guy hates Jaylene and Darcie. What in the world is going on here?'
Daryl did not believe that his own son had suddenly turned over a new leaf. He knew that Leighton must be hiding
something. But he could not be bothered to stop him. He simply warned, "Just don't cause any trouble."
Leighton did not respond.
