Jayson said, I know you.

You're Keegan Kane from the Kane family of Rivera, right? I know where to replace you." Keegan wanted to refuse, but Jayson continued, "You're Marshall's best friend.

Since he's the reason why my wife is dead, it's only right for you to make amends on his behalf." Keegan was speechless.

Then, Jayson added, "I can't take care of her right now.

I still have unfinished business.

She'll be safest with you because no one would ever dare mess with your family.

"Once everything settles down, I'll come back to get her.

Please help hide her identity, and don't let anyone know that she's Willow's daughter.

I can't drag her into this..." At that time, Keegan did not really understand what Jayson meant by "drag her into this," nor did he know what was so important that Jayson had to abandon his newborn daughter, who was still receiving intensive care.

But Jayson did not explain much to Keegan.

He took a call and hastily left before asking Keegan to convey his message for Marshall-"! won't let this slide." However, Keegan did not relay the message because Marshall had been sent abroad by the Moore family.

His dissociative disorder worsened, and they hired many doctors to treat him, erasing his memories.

They all believed that Willow caused Marshall's dissociative disorder.

Ariel even personally visited every one of Marshall's friends who knew about what happened and begged them not to mention Willow's name in front of him.

They even used their connections to erase all traces of Marshall's involvement in that car accident.

Keegan did not agree with the Moore family's actions, but he was more worried that Marshall would blame himself for what happened to Willow and fall sick again.

Jayson entrusted his daughter to Keegan, turning the twenty-something man into an involuntary foster father.

He had no experience in taking care of a child, but because of Jayson's instructions, he did not dare to tell anyone.

The caregivers and nurses he hired also had to be changed regularly.

Coco was weak and often fell ill.

Although Keegan was always busy with work, he frequently visited the hospital once the nanny needed his presence. Jayson's phone was unreachable, and he would rarely reply to his messages.

It was not until Coco was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia at seven months old that he finally showed up again.

He brought a bag of money, briefly checked on Coco, and wanted to leave again.

Keegan stopped him this time.

He figured that he needed an explanation from Jayson as he was not obligated to take care of this child.

As the child grew older, how would he explain her parentage to her? Jayson could not come up with an explanation, so when he saw Keegan's unwillingness to help, he took Coco away.

Humans are creatures of contradictions.

When Keegan was fostering Coco, he hoped every day that Jayson would come to take her back.

But when he actually did it, Keegan felt that everything was off.

He would worry about Coco's illness, her growth, and whether she was eating well.

Two months passed like that, and Jayson came to him again with Coco.

Keegan had a meeting with a client that day.

When he went to the parking lot to get his car, he saw Jayson with Coco in his arms. Keegan could not deny that the moment he saw Coco again, his heart melted.

The little girl was seriously ill, looking frail compared to children her age.

She did not even have the strength to cry; she just sobbed quietly in Jayson's arms.

But when she saw Keegan, she suddenly got excited as if she remembered him. novelbin Jayson was not in good shape himself, either.

In just two months, he visibly aged, with gray hair growing on his head.

He begged Keegan to save Coco's life and take care of her.

As much as Keegan wanted to help, he still needed an explanation.

Why did it have to be him? And who exactly was Jayson Morrell? After a long silence, Jayson handed him an item.

Keegan opened the envelope in his hand and handed it to Stella.

"This is what he gave me."
