Albert said in a gentle voice, “Even though you and Ste are divorced, to me, we’re still family.
Besides, I’m just used to calling you that after so many years.”
Keegan raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, I’m afraid that you have to start getting used to
addressing me in a different way now. You’re not Ste’s father. Technically, I’m not rted to you in
any way. If you don’t stop calling me that, I’ll have to do a lot of exining to others. So, please stop
doing that.”
The edge of Albert’s eye twitched as he felt extremely awkward.
However, when he heard how warmly Keegan said Ste’s name, he realized that Keegan was still
willing to be with her despite being lied to previously.
So, it further solidified his decision to adopt Ste and be her foster father because the benefits
that the Kane family had brought him in the past years were simply irresistible and he could not let go
of them.
Albert quickly adjusted himself. “Even though I’m not Ste’s biological father, I’ve raised her since she
was a child. I’ve also told her about adopting her and I know that deep down, she’s fine with it too. No
matter what, I’m still considered as her father.”
Hylda became anxious after hearing what. “What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sure that
you want to adopt Ste? Are you out of your mind?”
Albert’s face immediately darkened. “Shut up when men are talking!’

Hylda was fuming. Not only that Albert cheated on her and got another woman pregnant, he even tried
to adopt Ste. She could not figure out what was going on in Albert’s head. Ste had such deep
resentment toward them, yet he wanted to keep a deadly threat around him. Albert’s decision was
simply ridiculous to Hylda!
As her anger red, her stomach began hurting. She instinctively grabbed Albert and grunted, “Albert,
my stomach hurts.”
Albert thought that she was just pretending to ruin his n, so he got impatient with her. “Go back to
your room and rest then. Who told you toe outside?”
Then, he turned to Ste and put on a concerned look on his face. “Ste, how have you beentely?
Is the money I transferred to you previously enough? I can give you more money If you need them.”
Hylda was already very angry, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head when she heard Albert
giving Ste money behind her back.
Ian was watching from afar, and he immediately went forward to hold Hylda up when he noticed that
something was wrong with her. He frowned and asked worriedly, “Sis, are you okay?”
Hylda responded weakly, “My stomach hurts.”
It was only then that Albert knew that Hylda was not pretending. He immediately startedining
when he realized that their baby could be in danger, “The doctor already told you that you need to rest.
Why did youe outside? You just got to make things difficult for everyone, don’t you?
It was simply impossible for a person to listen to what he said and not get angry.
However, Ste did not sympathize with Hylda at all. She figured that her revenge would mean nothing
if Hylda could not experience what her mother had to go through back then.
Hylda was in so much pain that she could not speak. Ian immediately held her up and went to look for a
doctor without saying anything.
Albert was not bothered to throw himself at Keegan anymore, as he quickly followed Ian after briefly
saying goodbye to him.
Keegan asked, “Mr. Jewell, do you need help?”
Albert paused as he did not expect Keegan to call him back.
He instinctively asked without thinking, “With what?”
Keegan then tly said, “I can rmend you to a good obstetrician that I know. She provides
excellent care for older mothers and ensures minimal pregnancyplications.”
Albert was surprised when he heard that. “Why would you know an obstetrician?”
Keegan replied, “I had ns to have a kid with Ste, and I wanted to find out how to increase the
probability of having a boy.”
Ste was speechless.
