Chapter 2094
Stella took the envelope and took out what was inside.
She initially thought that it might be some documents, 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 tell me about it, but it's
likely. Before the incident at The Hox Club, he came to see Coco once and said
that he was going on a business trip. He told me that he might be away for some
time and would come back to pick Coco up once she recovers."
His voice turned hoarse as he spoke, "That was the last time I saw him. Every
year after that, he would transfer some money into my account, but he never
showed up again.
"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 come back 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 come to 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.
Keegan said, "And also because of Willow. I always feel that if on that day I
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, "l feel like a fool."
After all, the reason why his marriage failed was because of raising Coco. For the
sake of her iliness, Bella appeared, as did everything that followed.

Keegan only responded after a long pause. Perhaps he still could not accept
Jayson's sudden death.
