Chapter 2202


    Cordelia might have held traditional beliefs, thinking that having more children brought more blessings,


    instilled a sense of responsibility, and stabilized marital rtionships. Perhaps she was worried that her


    own body couldn''t withstand many more years, and since Dahlia was unreliable, choosing to conceive


    a child earlier could put an end to her unpredictable behavior.


    Whatever the reason, it left Keegan feeling somewhat resentful.


    Fortunately, because he and Ste didn''t share a room frequently before, it took a while for her to


    conceive. Ste''s body was also in good shape, and the fetus developed healthily. If she had


    conceived earlier but couldn''t carry it to term, he feared he would hurt her again.


    Keegan sighed and said softly, "Ste, I''m sorry."


    Ste understood he was speaking on behalf of Cordelia.


    She gently patted the back of his hand without saying a word.


    Now that the child was conceived, there was no point in questioning Cordelia''s motives anymore.


    Ste then remembered the main issue. "Your mom, your uncle, and aunt were taken away by the


    police."


    Keegan simply responded with a soft "Hmm" and added, "I saw."


    Ste hesitated.


    Keegan looked up at her and said gently, "Do what you think is right, don''t worry about me. I will always


    believe in you."


    Ste remained silent for a while and said only one thing, "If she doesn''t take action, I won''t either."


    This was her giving Dahlia onest chance on Keegan''s behalf. Whether it would be a quiet retreat or a


    complete downfall, it depended entirely on Dahlia''s choice.


    Keegan said, "Okay."


    An hourter, Jaylene was no longer in critical condition, but Trevor didn''t message Ste until the next


    morning.


    When Ste was nearly at the hospital, she called Trevor back.


    Trevor still had some temper, waiting until thest second before answering the call, and his tone was


    unusually cold. "Hello."


    Ste cautiously said, "Trevor, are you still upset with me?"

    Trevor chuckled, "Upset? Why would I be? They''re the ones picking on you.


    You''re not upset, so why should I be? I''m not upset; I''m quite happy, hahaha.


    "Trevor, I''m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn''t have liedst night, or used the child to deceive you, making


    you worry. You stood up for me, and I ignored it. Why am I such a terrible person?"


    Trevor said, "Don''t y the emotional card with me. I dislike that the most."


    Ste shook her head. "I''m not. I''m just speaking from the heart. I''ve never had anyone care for me as


    much as you do, standing up for me against others. If I didn''t appreciate it, that would be one thing, but


    I also hurt you. I don''t deserve to have the best brother in the world..."


    Trevor was quiet for a moment.


    "Do you still want to cut ties with me?"


    Ste was speechless.


    Keegan fell for this, but it didn''t work on Trevor.


    She emphasized again, "I don''t deserve to have the very best brother in the world."


    Trevor snorted, "I''m not Keegan. I don''t buy into ttery."


    Ste was dejected. "You can be mad for a while more, but can you eat first?"


    As she spoke, she appeared behind Trevor, "Trevor, I brought you pancakes from your favorite ce."


    Trevor''s smile vanished immediately,pletely unaware of how much of his expression Ste had


    just seen. He coughed and red at her, "You didn''t even tell me you wereing!"
