FreeNovelChapter 2094 Stella took the envelope and took out what was inside.
She initially thought that it might be sdocuments, 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 tellabout it, but it's likely. Before the incident at The Hox Club, he cto see Coco once and said that he was going on a business trip. He toldthat he might be away for stand would cback to pick Coco up once she recovers." His voice turned hoarse as he spoke, "That was the last t| saw him. Every year after that, he would transfer smoney into my account, but he never showed up again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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 would cback 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 related 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 classified as a sacrifice. His records were erased as if he was a dishonor to his team.
No one had cto 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 explain everything to Coco.
He could never take her to meet her father now.
Stella 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan said, "And also because of Willow. | always feel that if on that day | 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 accident 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 collapsed, 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.
"Stella." Stella 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, Bella 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.
Stella 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.
Stella 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 accept Jayson's sudden death.
