Chapter 745


    Chapter 745


    Ste had no tears left to cry after Rainee passed away.She thought that she would never cry again in


    her life if not required by work However, Keegan repeatedly apologizing made broke her down.


    What happened that night had never stopped bothering her.


    She was afraid she would find somebody else sleeping beside her after switching off the lights at night.


    So she would always leave a light on in her bedroom every night.She was scared that Keegan would


    touch her and get rough in the sheets with her as even a tiny movement could remind her of the night


    that turned her stomach upside down.She just could not forgive Keegan for leaving her alone on their


    wedding night, and it was impossible for her to let it go.


    Keegan stoked Ste''s back as he felt like his heart was being stabbed many times.


    Material things that he gave Ste were something worth the least to her.She wanted affection, trust,


    and protection.


    Yet he failed to give her any.


    Keegan finally knew why she gave him a negative score.


    He could not expect her to forgive him easily after he and his family hurt her.He wanted to ask why


    Ste did not tell Cordelia about it since she was always reasonable.


    Then, he figured out the answer himself.


    Ste came to the Kane family all alone.


    To her, everybody else was a part of the family, and she was the only outsider who did not share the


    samest name as them.


    So, there was no way she could be sure that Cordelia would be on her side.She was so isted and


    helpless in the Kane family, full of threats.


    The Jewell Group was in crisis, and Albert wanted to stop paying for Rainee''s medical bills in the year


    when they got married.


    So, she did not dare to make a scene out of what happened.


    Also, Ste would have no idea what to do if Keegan chose his family''s reputation over her and


    dumped her.


    Keegan repeatedly thought about the past and felt a dull ache in his chest.


    He let go of Ste and bowed his forehead to touch Ste''s forehead.


    Then, he wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes before saying in a hoarse voice with his red


    eyes, "I''m not going to let this slide.I swear."


    Ste pushed him away.


    She recollected herself and said after a while, "That''s your business.It''s your choice to do whatever you


    want, but please don''t get me involved.I don''t want you to me me for instigating you to take revenge


    on Aurora and your mom when you regretted doing so in the future.I''ll get them back by myself.It''s


    entirely based on your ethical perspective if you want to defend and punish them.It should not have


    anything to do with me."


    Keegan replied softly, "I understand."


    Ste gave in anyway and did not cut ties entirely with Keegan.She wanted him to judge those people


    based on his moralpass and not do anything to avenge her just because he felt guilty.


    Ste said those things to give Keegan a heavy blow and let him know what kind of person Aurora was,


    but emotions got the best of her after talking about it.She had been keeping it to herself for too


    long.She hurt Keegan''s feelings as she told him about what happened, but she also twisted the knife in


    her own wound.


    Keegan reached out, brushed her hair at the side of her face, and said in a low voice, "I''ll drive you


    home now."


    Ste said, "I need to call Mr.Moore first."


    Keegan frowned and said in a slightly unhappy tone, "He doesn''t have time for you now."


    Ste paused.


    "Do you know where he is?"


    Keegan pursed his lips.


    ''''How would I know? I just want to take you home as soon as possible.Didn''t you say stayingte is bad


    for your skin?"


    "But I still have to call him."


    Ste nced at the jealous man.

    "Mr.Moore tried to protect me too.I don''t know if the boiling water sshed on him."


    Keegan was very upset.However, something else popped into his head.


    ‘Would Ste still be calm enough to listen to my words if Marshall really did save her from getting


    burned by the boiling water just now?! Keegan eyes darkened.


    Ste dialed Marshall''s number, and it took him some time to pick up.Mr.Moo— Marshall, it''s me.Are


    you not at the hospital?"


    Marshall sounded a little tired.


    "I had something else to do back home and went back I''m sorry for not letting you know earlier.How''s it


    going over there? Is Leighton okay?"
