Chapter 2200


    Keegan hesitated for a moment, feeling his heart soften, and gently reached out to her.


    Trevor quickly swatted his hand away, pulling Ste closer to him, his expression darkening. "Let''s talk


    without any physical contact!"


    Keegan bit his lip. "Trevor, I didn''t handle things well before. I promise I won''t let Ste suffer again in


    the future."


    "In the future?" Trevor sneered. "First, sort out the mess in your family before talking about the future."


    With that, he took hold of Ste''s arm. "Come with me."


    Ste resisted. "All my stuff is still at Royalpark Vi. It''s too much hassle to move back and forth."


    "Forget about it. We''ll buy new things! Do weck money at home?"


    Ste sighed. "Trevor, I''m an adult now. Please don''t treat me like a child. I can distinguish right from


    wrong. If Keegan treats me poorly, I can walk away on my own. I''m capable of supporting myself now; I


    don''t need to depend on him. And worst-case scenario, I still have you guys. I''m with him because he


    makes me happy. If I''m not happy someday, I can leave whenever I want, without someone else


    deciding for me."


    Trevor''s heart shattered. "Am I just someone else to you?"


    Ste sighed again. "Trevor, if you keep nitpicking like this, it''s pointless. You know I don''t mean it that


    way."


    Knowing and hearing were two different things. Did she really understand how much that "someone


    else" hurt him, this person who was extremely protective of his sister?


    Keegan tried to intervene. "Ste, why don''t you stay at the Saun''s tonight and have a good chat with


    Trevor."


    Trevor snapped at him, "There''s no need for your fake kindness here!"


    "Hiss-" Suddenly, Ste''s face turned pale, and she clutched her abdomen.


    Trevor''s anger dissipated instantly as he nervously supported her. "What''s wrong?"


    Keegan''s face also went white with concern. "Are you in pain?"


    Ste nodded, her voice hoarse. "It''s cramping a bit."


    Keegan bent down to pick her up and hurried to the hospital, with Trevor following closely.


    As they entered the elevator, Ste weakly said, "Trevor, could you get me two bottles of water? My


    mouth is so dry."


    Trevor agreed and stepped out of the elevator to buy water.


    As soon as the elevator doors closed, Ste patted Keegan''s neck, signaling him to put her down.


    Keegan was confused. "I thought you were in pain?"


    "If I didn''t fake the pain, would Trevor have let you off?"


    When they reached the second floor, Ste pulled Keegan out of the elevator and quietly slipped away


    through the stairwell.


    Once they were in the car and had driven a kilometer away, she sent Trevor a WhatsApp message.


    "Niece/nephew is fine. Don''t worry."


    Trevor didn''t reply, but after a while, he updated his social media.

    He posted a photo of the water he bought, with the caption, "Do you know what this is?"


    Vermont Snyder, an avid surfer, quicklymented, "Water for your brain?"


    Trevor gave him the finger in the reply. "And water for my troubled stomach."


    Ste replied underneath with aforting hug emoji.
