    "But I don''t regret it." Keegan looked up at her with a loving gaze. "If I didn''t let go of myself that day,


    perhaps neither of US would be alive, let alone having them."


    He ced his hand gently on her belly. "One for three, it''s worth it."


    Ste was upset. "What''s worth it? Do you still expect me to give birth to your babies when you''re


    dead? Impossible! If you don''te back, I''ll find another man immediately and show him off to you on


    your grave. You may be a hero, but you''re still going to need someone else to take care of your wife."


    Keegan could not help but smile at herints. "I must have heard your ''ungrateful'' whines and


    couldn''t bring myself to leave, so I came back."


    Ste hugged him tightly and whispered, "I''ll pack a lunchbox for you tomorrow. You got so much


    thinner after the incident. You''re not as huggable anymore."


    Keegan frowned. "How can I let you cook for me while you''re pregnant? Do you think Trevor would let


    that slide if he knew? He''d probably kill me."


    Ste burst outughing and said, "Serves you right for what you did to himst time.


    "Oh, by the way, did you manage to get anything out of Jaylene after hypnotizing her?"


    Keegan nodded, "She wasn''t the one who pulled me out of the water, someone else did. They took me


    to a clinic and left her number." "So, Jaylene was lying when she said she rescued you from the


    shore?" "Yeah. I was about to drown when someone grabbed me. Although I couldn''t see clearly, I felt


    that person''s strength and it did not seem to be a woman."


    To single-handedly pull an unconscious adult male out of the water required extraordinary physical


    strength and excellent swimming skills.


    Whoever saved him did not want him to die but instead left Jaylene''s contact information. That person


    also wanted him to stay with Jaylene, giving her a chance to hypnotize him and erase his memory.


    Clearly, that person did not want Keegan to return so soon. 1 ''If I got hypnotized even more and


    believed in those illusions, would I still be with Ste?'' Keegan pondered to himself.


    Someone wanted him to live but drift away from the person he loved.


    A name kept circling in his mind.


    The ident back then happened because Albert messed with the car. Rainee and Ste were


    innocent. So, Keegan thought the person might not necessarily be after Ste.


    Now, seeing that Ste had been safe all along, Keegan wondered if that person was only targeting


    him.


    Ste asked softly, "What''s on your mind?"


    Keegan snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. "Nothing. Why don''t you have Ms. Thompson


    apany you to see Ms. Warren? Discusspensation for the two injured cleaners and invite


    some reporters over to stir things up a little."


    Ste hesitated, "If this matter goes public, Dahlia''s reputation will be tarnished. Are you sure you want


    to do that?"


    Keegan replied nonchntly, "You don''t understand her. She can rise again anytime as long as she


    has the slightest chance. But it can undoubtedly make her stay put for a while now."


    Ste totally agreed with what Keegan mentioned. After a bit of thinking, she said, "Your mom always


    goes to Chandler when things happen, and he''s always ready to help. What''s his deal? At work, he''s


    against you, but then he helps your mom."


    Keegan paused without uttering a word.


    Ste was surprised. ''Keegan''s reaction is kind of weird.''


    She whispered, "Could it be that he likes your mom?"


    Keegan''s face tightened for a moment, and he stayed quiet.


    Ste sensed that something was off from Keegan''s reaction. Knowing he didn''t enjoy discussing his

    elders, especially when it involved his mom, she chose not to press.


    Yet, after a brief silence, Keegan opened up, "Before she married my dad, she was in a rtionship


    with Chandler." 1
