Ste took the envelope and took out what was inside.

She initially thought that it might be some documents, but she was wrong. It was a police shoulder
badge instead.
She was taken aback and thought of what Keegan had said before about" sacrifices of those who work
in the shadows, not recognized and may not even have a future."
Suddenly, her expression turned solemn. She asked softly, "Was he a narcotics officer?"
Keegan shook his head. ''"I don''t know. He didn''t directly tell me about it, but it''s likely. Before the
incident at The Hox Club, he came to see Coco once and said that he was going on a business trip. He
told me that he might be away for some time and woulde back to pick Coco up once she
recovers."
His voice turned hoarse as he spoke, "That was thest time I saw him. Every year after that, he would
transfer some money into my ount, but he never showed up again.
"I always thought he was still on a mission and could not return to see Coco. After all, he would still
send money to me, proving that he still remembered his daughter.
"I thought he woulde back with honors and finally take Coco home, but how could he have died six
years ago? His death was also due to an overdose of drugs. He''d never touch those things...
"The authorities didn''t report his death. It was as if he had never existed. Everything rted to him was
wiped out just like that."
Keegan''s faith, which had always stayed firm, suddenly began to waver because Jayson''s death was
not ssified as a sacrifice. His records were erased as if he was a dishonor to his team.
No one hade to see Coco, no one was going to take care of her, and no one even notified her
about his death.
Jayson was someone who still put his job first, even when his wife was dead, and his daughter was
critically ill. How could he still end up like that?
Keegan had no idea how to exin everything to Coco.
He could never take her to meet her father now.
Ste asked softly, "Is this the truth you''ve been unwilling to tell me?"
It was because of Jayson''s special identity and the promise to take care of his child.
Keegan said, "And also because of Willow. I always feel that if on that day I hadn''t told Marshall that
Irene was going to talk to Willow just because of what Dahlia told me, he wouldn''t have gone there, and
maybe the ident wouldn''t have happened."
Willow was a very good girl. She was optimistic, resilient, and hardworking. She should not have met
such a tragic fate. Keegan felt guilty about what had happened to her.
He would still keep this a secret if he had not known that Jayson was dead. But now, his faith had
copsed, and the person he had always seen as a hero was no longer one. He suddenly did not know
the purpose of preserving this secret for so many years anymore.
"Ste." Ste rarely saw Keegan in such a defeated state. He called her name, smiled bitterly, and
said with a hoarse voice, "I feel like a fool."
After all, the reason why his marriage failed was because of raising Coco. For the sake of her illness,
Be appeared, as did everything that followed.
He tried hard to keep his promise, but now he was told that the hero he knew was actually a drug
addict who died of an overdose, making his persistence seem like a joke.
Ste held his hand and said in a gentle tone, "You raised Coco. What makes you feel like a fool?
"Whether Jayson is a hero or not, Coco is innocent. You''re doing something remarkable; it''s just that
the purpose has changed. Are you going to stop loving Coco just because of this?"
Keegan hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Of course not," he muttered.
Ste chuckled. "Coco''s adoption procedures have been processed, right? Let''s just focus on raising
her as our daughter. As for everything else, we shouldn''t dwell on it anymore. You have fulfilled your
promise; we''ll have no regrets."
Keegan only responded after a long pause. Perhaps he still could not ept Jayson''s sudden death.
