Mary heard this and suddenly went silent.
After a long while, she forced a smile. “Keera, you’re quite the joker.”
Keira was perplexed.
She gave a resigned smile. “I’m not joking…”
Before she could finish, Mary took her by the arm. “You’ve forgotten, right? You already told about
your background long ago!”
Keira was stunned. “…What?”
Keera’s background?
Without further thought, Mary said, “When I asked you back then if you wanted to find your biological
father or just live with your foster parents, you told about
it…”
Saying this, she cautiously glanced at Keira as if afraid that bringing up that matter would touch a raw
nerve.
Keira only felt her mind turn into mush. “What did I tell you?”
Mary looked at her oddly. “Keera, you don’t
rember?”
Keira pursed her lips, pausing before asking, “What did
I say?”
Without giving a reason, Mary simply looked at her curiously for a few monts, then continued. “You’
said that you weren’t a lost child, that you have parents, just that…”
She bit her lip before continuing. “You’re too naïve. Your parents didn’t like you, so they let your foster
.
parents bring you to Clance and told you never to co back ho.”
Keira’s jaw tensed.
Keera was her twin sister, that much was certain; they looked exactly alike, and besides, Taylor had
admitted to this fact before…
Moreover, after “Mrs. Horton’s” death, Lewis had three consecutive DNA reports done, all proving the
deceased was Mrs. Horton, definitely showing that
Keera and Keira were identical twins.
Why then did Keera say such a thing?
Before his death, Taylor once said that when their mother gave birth to the Keera, she wasn’t
abandoned by him, but was “taken away by the South family”…
During this period, Keira had already investigated the deceased foster parents of her sister. They were
simply running their company honestly and didn’t seem to have any significant skills.
Their deaths years ago were also due to a car accident.
But… those foster parents seed to appear out of nowhere, with no other relatives or family in
Clance.
Keira felt increasingly baffled.
“Keera, does bringing this up make you upset again?” Mary’s voice brought her back to reality.
Keira imdiately shook her head, sighing. “Perhaps after this marriage fiasco, I was a bit shocked and
now, I can’t rember so things very clearly…”
Mary showed a look that said, “See, I knew I guessed right.” She then took Keira by the arm and said,
“Not rembering is fine; you’ve always had the habit of keeping a diary, and you’ve written a lot of
important things in there.”
C
Keira nodded. “I know that.”
She had read quite a few of Keera’s diaries recently.
It was through the diaries that she learned about her interactions with Howard and Mary, otherwise, her
cover would have been blown long ago.
However, Mary pouted and complained. “Back when we were in school, we could exchange diaries to
read each other’s, but you had one with a lock that you
never let see.”
A diary with a lock?
Keira had never seen this one.
But she didn’t inquire further, afraid Mary might discover sothing.
With this distraction, she forgot to explain further
about Uncle Olsen’s situation.
Mary left the amusent park with her, and by the ti they drove Keira and Amy ho, it had gotten
dark. When they arrived at the front door, Mary suddenly clutched her stomach.
Keira quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mary looked a bit pale. “My stomach hurts a bit, probably got my period. Let use your bathroom.”
Keira nodded.
Mary got out of the car and entered Keira’s ho. The housekeeper had already prepared dinner for
them, and she was helping Amy eat.
When Mary ca back, she looked pale.
Keira asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mary gave a wry smile. “My period is three days late, and my stomach is killing .
Π
Upon hearing this, Keira said, “Aren’t you usually very regular?”
Mary nodded. “Yeah, my cycle is like clockwork, 28 days each ti. I don’t know what’s going on this
ti…”
Her words stopped there as she suddenly thought about that night she spent with Ellis. Her voice got
stuck in her throat, and a look of panic appeared on
her face!
Keira saw the state she was in and vaguely guessed sothing. “I’ll go buy you a pregnancy test kit.”
Mary looked at her frantically and nodded.
Half an hour later.
Both of them were deep in thought as they looked at
the two lines on the pregnancy test.
Keira frowned as she looked at Mary.
Mary also looked back at Keira with an expression that was almost on the verge of tears.
Keira rested her chin on her hand and complained, “Mary, you didn’t even tell you had a boyfriend.”
It clearly said in the diary that Keera and Mary had agreed they would tell each other imdiately if
they started dating!
Mary’s face turned pale, and she tightly clenche fingers. “I… I didn’t have a boyfriend. This child w
accident.”
Keira was stunned. “What?”
Mary was near tears. “Keera, what… what should I do?”
Keira was dumbfounded.
How would she know what to do?
father of the child?”
Mary imdiately bit her lip, and her cheeks flushed.
Her deanor didn’t seem angry or panicked, but rather slightly shy.
Keira imdiately guessed sothing. “Ellis?”
Mary, frightened, looked up sharply. “How did you
know?”
Keira was speechless.
This girl had always been exceedingly shy whenever she ntioned Ellis. It was clear to Keira that it
was a case of unrequited love. How could she not see it?
Keira grimaced, “Mary, what do you plan to do wit this child? Will you tell Ellis? It just so happens he’s
married yet…”
“No,” Mary said firmly.
Ellis didn’t have a good impression of her, and it
seed like telling him would an she wanted to trap
him into marriage.
Her gaze fell.
Keira then coughed. “Then the child…”
)
“I don’t want it.”
Mary said resolutely, “I’ll make an appointnt for an operation tomorrow… Keera, you’ll co with
, won’t you? I’m scared. I don’t want my parents to find
out.”
“… Okay!”
Keira respected her friend’s every choice.
Mary stayed at the villa that night because of her fear.
Keira put Amy to bed, asked the nanny to stay with her, and then returned to the master bedroom.
She needed to save the nightti hours to do so things on her own…
Moreover, considering what Mary had said that seed likely that Keera had other secrets.
While searching in the master bedroom, she sudde heard a noise near the window, and her pupils
narrowed. Instantly, she moved to the window.
Soon after, soone knocked lightly on the window
and climbed in.
The mont the person ca in, Keira imdiately
went forward and captured his arm in a grip!
The intruder instinctively tried to fight back.
But he seed to realize sothing and stopped his
movents.
Keira’s guard was up.
Was this person here to kill Keera? Or did he have sothing to do with Keera’s secrets? Was he sent
by the “South family”?
She grabbed the man’s shoulder and, grabbing a tie from nearby, she bound his hands with it. After
subduing him from behind, Keira then moved to face
the intruder.
And then, she saw a familiar handso face.
It was… Lewis?!
Keira was dumbfounded.
