Chapter 422
Trevor was dumbfounded.
âŠ.
Then he put the egg back over his eyes and mumbled to himself, âI must be seeing things, right? How come I saw Keira again?â
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. âKeira, itâs broad daylight. How come youâre here?â
Keira was perplexed.
Was he mistaking her for a ghost?
Her mouth twitched, and she walked up to Trevor, grabbing his arm.
Trevor panicked. âKeira, although Iâve always missed you, I didnât want to join you in the underworld. You canât come to take me away!â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She rolled her eyes, âIâm not dead.â
âNot dead?â
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 couldnât help getting angry. âYou unfilial disciple, where have you been all this time? If you werenât dead, couldnât you have sent a message to your master? Do you know I almost went blind from crying over you!â
Keira said, ââŠand after almost going blind, you were still scared when you saw me?â
Trevor didnât know what to say.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth. âIsnât it normal to be scared of ghosts?â
Keira rolled her eyes again and then sat down on the cushion next to him, âWhy didnât you tell me sooner that you were the Sect Leader of Freeman Sect?â
She had been playing challenge games over there!
Trevor coughed. âBack 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. Doesnât the Sect Leader of Freeman Sect have any pride?â
Keira was speechless.
She then glanced at the swelling on Trevorâs face, took out an ointment from her pocket, and threw it to him.
Trevor asked, âWhatâs this?â
âFor the swelling. Stop crying.â
Trevor happily accepted it. âGood girl, youâre so good to me. Wait, how did you get in?â
Then he looked at her clothes. âThat training outfit, isnât it an Outer Sect Discipleâs? Why are you wearing that?â
Keiraâs mouth twitched. âIâm now Keera, an Outer Sect Disciple of Freeman Sect.â
Trevor was momentarily stupefied; his expression suddenly went blank, and he looked at her. âKeira, have you encountered some trouble? I remember you can swim. How could you have drowned? No, you didnât die, so the one who died wasâŠâ
Keira lowered her gaze. âMy twin sister, Keera.â
Trevor immediately breathed a sigh of relief. âIâm relieved youâre alright.â
After saying that and noticing Keiraâs unusual expression, he realized his words sounded too aloof and insensitive. He coughed and then said, âI didnât mean it like that⊠So youâre now Keera?â
âRight, so I still need your help, Master.â
Trevor immediately asked, âWhat kind of help?â
âI want to make Keera the eldest senior sister of Freeman Sect. Is that possible?â
Trevor was stunned.
His jaw tightened as he looked at Keira.
A look flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he sighed. âIâm afraid that wonât work. The names have been registered early on, and we canât change them.â
Keira looked at him. âThen why were you silent just now?â
âWellâŠâ Trevor laughed. âHowever, if you want to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Freeman Sect, thereâs no problem with that. I can arrange it for you.â
âOkay.â Keira stood up. âSince you mentioned holding the ceremony tomorrow, let it be tomorrow then. Iâve already spoken to my second senior brotherâŠâ
âHeâs your second senior uncle!â Trevor corrected her.
Keira chuckled. âAlright, Iâve already agreed with my second senior uncle to be his nominal disciple under the identity of Keera. Thatâs also fine.â
âNo problem, Iâll arrange everything for you tomorrow!â Trevor responded quickly, then stared at her and sighed silently. âKeira, I donât know what youâve been through, but remember, the Freeman Sect is your strong and steadfast support!â
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 oddballâs company, she found herself somewhat reluctant to part with him when he left.
Now that she thought about it, Taylor wasnât very nice to her at that time, which made her crave a fatherâs love even more; perhaps some of that longing was transferred onto Trevor. She suppressed the slight sorrow in her chest. âOkay, Master.â
After leaving Trevorâs residence, Keira went out and saw James and Kate looking for her. When they saw her, they asked, âWhere did you just go?â
Keira replied, âNowhere. Are you done for today?â
âYes, weâre done. Where are you heading?â
Keira waved at James. âIâm going to check on Matias.â Nara gave her the address, saying that Matias wasnât seriously injured, but she still couldnât 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 Matiasâs place. It was a small bungalow in downtown Clanceâs 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, âDid you know all along that Iâm pretty good at martial arts?â
âYes.â Lewis laughed indulgently. âDonât you know how good you are?â
âNonsense.â Keira couldnât help but retort. âWhy didnât you tell me earlier? Every time I spar, Iâm scared to death, fearing Iâll bleed!â
The smile on Lewisâs face grew wider. âI just thought you were pretty cute like that.â
Keira rolled her eyes. She looked around while walking and couldnât help but sigh. âItâs 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!â
Lewis nodded. Suddenly, Keira turned to him. âBy the way, have you been in contact with Ellis recently?â
Lewis was confused. He coughed slightly. âWhatâs up?â
Avoiding a direct answer meant there had been contact. Keira said, âIâll send you a divorce agreement later; have him sign it.â
Lewis was stunned. âHuh?â
Keira counted on her fingers. âIn two more days, Maryn will be able to have the amniocentesis. Before that, have him sign the divorce agreement!â
Lewis was speechless.
