310 Chapter 309 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 toldabout your background long ago!” Keira was stunned. “...What?” Keera’s background? Without further thought, Mary said, “When | asked you back then if you wanted to find your biological father or just live with your foster parents, you toldabout (Too 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?” 11:20 1/10 Mary looked at her oddly. “Keera, you don’t remember?” Keira pursed her lips, pausing before asking, “What did | say?” Without giving a reason, Mary simply looked at her curiously for a few moments, 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 naive. Your parents didn’t like you, so they let your foster parents bring you to Clance and told you never to cback home.” 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? 11:20 2/10 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 seemed to appear out of nowhere, with no other relatives or family in Clance.
Keira felt increasingly baffled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Keera, does bringing this up make you upset again?” Mary's voice brought her back to reality.
Keira immediately shook her head, sighing. “Perhaps after this marriage fiasco, | was a bit shocked and now, | can’t remember sthings very clearly...” Mary showed a look that said, “See, | knew | guessed right.” She then took Keira by the arm and said, “Not remembering is fine; you've always had the habit of keeping a diary, and you've written a lot of important things in there.” 11:20C 3/10 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 letsee.” A diary with a lock? Keira had never seen this one.
But she didn’t inquire further, afraid Mary might discover something.
With this distraction, she forgot to explain further about Uncle Olsen's situation.
Mary left the amusement park with her, and by the tthey drove Keira and Amy home, it had gotten dark.
When they arrived at the front door, Mary suddenly clutched her stomach.
Keira quickly asked, “What's wrong?” 11:20 410 Mary looked a bit pale. “My stomach hurts a bit, probably got my period. Letuse your bathroom.” Keira nodded.
Mary got out of the car and entered Keira’s home. The housekeeper had already prepared dinner for them, and she was helping Amy eat.
When Mary cback, she looked pale.
Keira asked, “What's wrong?” Mary gave a wry smile. “My period is three days late, and my stomach is killing me.
n Upon hearing this, Keira said, “Aren’t you usually very regular?” Mary nodded. “Yeah, my cycle is like clockwork, 28 days each time. | don’t know what’s going on this time...” 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 something. “I'll go buy you a pregnancy test kit.” 11:20 5/10 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 tellyou had a boyfriend.” It clearly said in the diary that Keera and Mary had agreed they would tell each other immediately if they started dating! Mary's face turned pale, and she tightly clenche fingers. “I... | didn’t have a boyfriend. This child w accident.” Keira was stunned. “What?” Mary was near tears. “Keera, what... what should | do?” Keira was dumbfounded.
How would she know what to do? 11:20 6/10 father of the child?” Mary immediately bit her lip, and her cheeks flushed.
Her demeanor didn’t seem angry or panicked, but rather slightly shy.
Keira immediately guessed something. “Ellis?” Mary, frightened, looked up sharply. “How did you know?” Keira was speechless.
This girl had always been exceedingly shy whenever she mentioned 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 Vito.” “No,” Mary said firmly.
Ellis didn’t have a good impression of her, and it seemed like telling him would mean she wanted to trap him into marriage.
Her gaze fell.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeira then coughed. “Then the child...” 11:20) 7/10 “I don’t want it.” Mary said resolutely, “I'll make an appointment for an operation tomorrow... Keera, you'll cwith me, won't you? I'm scared. | 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 nightthours to do sthings on her own...
Moreover, considering what Mary had said that seemed 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, someone knocked lightly on the window and climbed in.
The moment the person cin, Keira immediately 11:20 8/10 went forward and captured his arm in a grip! The intruder instinctively tried to fight back.
But he seemed to realize something and stopped his movements.
Keira’s guard was up.
Was this person here to kill Keera? Or did he have something 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 handsface.
It was... Lewis?! Keira was dumbfounded.
