Chapter 422
Trevor was dumbfounded.
….
Then he put the egg back over his eyes and mumbled to himself, “I must be seeing things, right? How come I saw Keira again?”
When Keira heard him, she just smiled.
Trevor paused, put down the egg, and looked at Keira again!
But the girl in front of him suddenly leaned in close, and her once-blurry face appeared right before his eyes, startling Trevor.
He jumped and then turned to look outside. “Keira, it’s broad daylight. How come you’re here?”
Keira was perplexed.
Was he mistaking her for a ghost?
Her mouth twitched, and she walked up to Trevor, grabbing his arm.
Trevor panicked. “Keira, although I’ve always missed you, I didn’t want to join you in the underworld. You can’t come to take me away!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She rolled her eyes, “I’m not dead.”
“Not dead?”
Trevor was slightly stunned. He leaned in close to her and managed to squint down at the ground with his swollen eyes. He noticed she had a shadow under the sunlight, which immediately relieved him.
Then he couldn’t help getting angry. “You unfilial disciple, where have you been all this time? If you weren’t dead, couldn’t you have sent a message to your master? Do you know I almost went blind from crying over you!”
Keira said, “…and after almost going blind, you were still scared when you saw me?”
Trevor didn’t know what to say.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth. “Isn’t it normal to be scared of ghosts?”
Keira rolled her eyes again and then sat down on the cushion next to him, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner that you were the Sect Leader of Freeman Sect?”
She had been playing challenge games over there!
Trevor coughed. “Back then, I was teaching you every day in the park, chasing you and begging to teach you, and all those old ladies and men in the park laughed at me for throwing myself at you. Doesn’t the Sect Leader of Freeman Sect have any pride?”
Keira was speechless.
Trevor asked, “What’s this?”
“For the swelling. Stop crying.”
Trevor happily accepted it. “Good girl, you’re so good to me. Wait, how did you get in?”
Then he looked at her clothes. “That training outfit, isn’t it an Outer Sect Disciple’s? Why are you wearing that?”
Keira’s mouth twitched. “I’m now Keera, an Outer Sect Disciple of Freeman Sect.”
Trevor was momentarily stupefied; his expression suddenly went blank, and he looked at her. “Keira, have you encountered some trouble? I remember you can swim. How could you have drowned? No, you didn’t die, so the one who died was…”
Keira lowered her gaze. “My twin sister, Keera.”
Trevor immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m relieved you’re alright.”
After saying that and noticing Keira’s unusual expression, he realized his words sounded too aloof and insensitive. He coughed and then said, “I didn’t mean it like that… So you’re now Keera?”
“Right, so I still need your help, Master.”
Trevor immediately asked, “What kind of help?”
“I want to make Keera the eldest senior sister of Freeman Sect. Is that possible?”
Trevor was stunned.
His jaw tightened as he looked at Keira.
A look flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he sighed. “I’m afraid that won’t work. The names have been registered early on, and we can’t change them.”
Keira looked at him. “Then why were you silent just now?”
“Well…” Trevor laughed. “However, if you want to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect, there’s no problem with that. I can arrange it for you.”
“Okay.” Keira stood up. “Since you mentioned holding the ceremony tomorrow, let it be tomorrow then. I’ve already spoken to my second senior brother…”
“He’s your second senior uncle!” Trevor corrected her.
Keira chuckled. “Alright, I’ve already agreed with my second senior uncle to be his nominal disciple under the identity of Keera. That’s also fine.”
“No problem, I’ll arrange everything for you tomorrow!” Trevor responded quickly, then stared at her and sighed silently. “Keira, I don’t know what you’ve been through, but remember, the Freeman Sect is your strong and steadfast support!”
Keira was slightly startled upon hearing this. Trevor was the master she met when she was fifteen, pestering her to teach her martial arts every day and even paying her. To Keira, he seemed like an oddball. However, having grown accustomed to the oddball’s company, she found herself somewhat reluctant to part with him when he left.
Now that she thought about it, Taylor wasn’t very nice to her at that time, which made her crave a father’s love even more; perhaps some of that longing was transferred onto Trevor. She suppressed the slight sorrow in her chest. “Okay, Master.”
After leaving Trevor’s residence, Keira went out and saw James and Kate looking for her. When they saw her, they asked, “Where did you just go?”
Keira replied, “Nowhere. Are you done for today?”
“Yes, we’re done. Where are you heading?”
Keira waved at James. “I’m going to check on Matias.” Nara gave her the address, saying that Matias wasn’t seriously injured, but she still couldn’t help worrying and decided to see for herself.
After leaving the Freeman Sect, she saw Lewis waiting for her in his car. Keira immediately got into the car. Following the address given by the mute girl Nara, they quickly arrived at Matias’s place. It was a small bungalow in downtown Clance’s district, looking very dilapidated all around. It was impossible to drive through that part of town, so Keira got out of the car and walked in with Lewis.
On the way, Keira asked, “Did you know all along that I’m pretty good at martial arts?”
“Yes.” Lewis laughed indulgently. “Don’t you know how good you are?”
“Nonsense.” Keira couldn’t help but retort. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Every time I spar, I’m scared to death, fearing I’ll bleed!”
The smile on Lewis’s face grew wider. “I just thought you were pretty cute like that.”
Keira rolled her eyes. She looked around while walking and couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s not easy to live in Clance. How happy can the people living in the center of downtown Clance really be? It feels even worse than living in a big house in the suburbs!”
Lewis nodded. Suddenly, Keira turned to him. “By the way, have you been in contact with Ellis recently?”
Lewis was confused. He coughed slightly. “What’s up?”
Avoiding a direct answer meant there had been contact. Keira said, “I’ll send you a divorce agreement later; have him sign it.”
Lewis was stunned. “Huh?”
Keira counted on her fingers. “In two more days, Maryn will be able to have the amniocentesis. Before that, have him sign the divorce agreement!”
Lewis was speechless.
