Chapter 2237


    Keegan settled into silence, gently reaching out to touch his face, her palm moist with tears.


    That evening, after the sessful conclusion of the press conference, they huddled together, crying for


    a long while.

    Aurora Kane crouched outside the master bedroom, ultimatelycking the courage to knock on the


    door.


    Her phone buzzed incessantly, Dahlia''s messages flooding in one after the other, ’Aurora, have you


    spoken to your brother?"


    "I was deceived by your uncle. Family ties run deep. Of course, I can tell the difference. I can''t bear to


    see your grandfather''s legacy being tarnished like this.


    "I never intended to cut ties with Keegan. He''s my son. How could I abandon him? Ste tricked me


    into writing that severance letter. I knew it held no legal weight when I signed it. Who knew she''d pull a


    stunt like this!


    "Aurora, ignore the online chatter. Keegan is my flesh and blood. How could I not care for him? It''s just


    that he''s been under your grandmother''s influence for too long. Your grandmother doesn''t approve of


    me, so I always feel like Keegan doesn''t either. Sometimes, distance is inevitable. But he''s my son, my


    heart. He loves me, and I love him more."


    Aurora pursed her lips, rising from the ground. As she descended the stairs, she dialed Dahlia''s


    number.


    Dahlia must have been waiting by the phone, promptly answering when it rang.


    "Aurora, my dear, how did it go? Have you told your brother everything as I instructed?"


    Suddenly, Aurora asked, "Mom, do you know what day next Wednesday is?”


    Dahlia hesitated, "Why this sudden question? My memory isn''t what it used to be. Just remind me."


    Aurora stated, "Next Wednesday is Keegan''s birthday, Mom. You remember your close friends''


    preferences, but do you remember Keegan''s?"


    Dahlia was speechless for a moment, then erupted, "Are you ming me too? Haven''t I been good to


    Keegan? Haven''t I been good to you? What gives you the right to say such things to me!"


    A pang struck Aurora''s heart. "I have no right, because I''m the one who benefits. Simrly, you have no


    right to seek forgiveness from Keegan. If he forgives you, then the harm you''ve caused him is what he


    deserves.


    Keegan is a good person, he deserves better. If you couldn''t love him before, then don''t disrupt his path


    in the future."


    Dahlia paled, angrily retorting, "Aurora! You ungrateful child. I''d rather raise a dog than you!"


    Aurora interjected softly, "I''ll take care of you in your old age, but don’t bother Keegan anymore."


    With that, she hung up, ignoring Dahlia''s hysteria on the other end.


    Understanding someone else''s feelingspletely was impossible. Hearing about Keegan''s past from


    others made her heart ache, but he had lived through it firsthand.


    What right did she have to advise Keegan to forgive their mother? She wasplicit in it all.


    It was always Keegan who protected her. Now, all she could do was this small gesture.


    Her phone buzzed again. Thinking it was Dahlia, she was about to silence it when she saw a message


    from Aldor Hart.


    "Miss, are you asleep?"


    Aurora replied, "Yes."


    Aldor called, and as Aurora answered, amidst the sound of wind, Aldor''s gentleughter came, "Let''s


    meet up, I want to see you."


    Aurora was taken aback, her heart racing.
