Ste was speechless.She tugged on Keegan''s hair and pulled him away from herself.
Then, she cleared her throat and tried to cover up.
* He''s drunk."
Keegan ignorantly corrected her.
"I''m not."
Vermont tried to suppress hisughter and said, "Doesn''t look like it to me either."
Keegan kept quiet.It was only then he realized that there were two audience members standing behind
him, which exined why his girlfriend had stopped him earlier.
He frowned in annoyance and said, "What are you two doing here in the middle of the night?"
Keegan was extremely irritated.
"We want to help Ste tally the gift list," Felicity said.
"Your brother-inw moved so many things here just now.The two of you will probably have to count
the gifts until tomorrow if we don''t help.We''re just trying to be a good friend,"
Vermont chimed in.
Keegan replied, "We can continue some other time if we can''t finish today.It''s not urgent anyway."
"That might be the case for you, but do you think Ste will be able to sleep in peace before she
finishes counting the gifts? She''ll probably kick you out of the bed in the middle of the night to count
them."
His words left Keegan speechless.
Vermont was absolutely right.
After all, both of them were just as money-minded, and they shared the exact same thoughts.
Ste warmly weed the couple inside, leaving Keegan sulking in frustration.
They entered the unit, turned on the lights, and all four of them were shocked.
Vermont had underestimated the gifts Ste would receive.
The living room was now filled with so many things that they barely had any room to walk.
Felicity opened her mouth wide in astonishment and only said after a long pause, "Magnificent!"
Ste and Keegan had no experience in tallying the gifts, but Vermont had.
After all, he was someone who had celebrated his thirtieth birthday.
So, he took charge of the situation and said to Ste, "Ste, get the gift list out.We''ll count the gifts
together.Once we''re done, you can decide on what you want to keep and what you want to sell."
Ste nodded.So, the four of them started searching for the gift list.
However, none of them could find it.
Then, Ste said, "I''ll call my brother and ask."
In the hospital, Trevor came back upstairs with two bowls of porridge.He opened the door, and there
was only Jaylene lying on the hospital bed.
Darcie had gone out.
He ced the porridge on the table and tly said, "Have some."
Jaylene looked at Trevor.
Trevor would get nervous whenever she fell sick in the past.

They had grown up together, and he had always doted on her.
However, he did not act the same as usual, and he even appeared to be somewhat distant.
Jaylene pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you, brother."
Trevor did not respond to that.
Instead, he sat somewhere far away and said, "Just let me know if you need anything."
Then, he started scrolling on his phone.
He did not ask Jaylene how she was feeling, whether the injections hurt, or if the medicine tasted bitter.
Before this day, Jaylene had never thought that it would be possible for Ste to rece her in her
father and brother''s hearts.
After all, they had spent over twenty years together.
How could they suddenly treat her differently because of a daughter who had just returned and had not
lived with them for a single day? But, today, her father did not coddle her like he used to.
Even her brother became distant toward her.
Jaylene felt heartbroken.
She could not ept this sudden change, and she suddenly started crying.
Trevor was about to ask Xavier if all the gifts had been delivered, but he heard a faint sobbing sound
coming from beside him.
He paused, lifted his gaze, and saw Jaylene lying on the hospital bed with her back facing him.Her
shoulders trembled as if she was crying yet trying to hold back her tears at the same time.
