Chapter 2005

Stella cleared her throat and said, "Trevor, you might have to prepare two Christmas presents for my

babies next year."

The other end of the phone immediately fell silent. After a few seconds, Trevor said through gritted

teeth, "What a scum! No wonder he was so patient with me! How could he make you go through the

pain twice? He's the worst!”

Keegan replied sincerely, "If it's possible, I'd rather be the one going through the pain." "Anyone can

run their mouth. Go get it done if you're so honorable!"

Keegan was speechless.

'Well, it seems like this conversation isn't going anywhere,' Keegan thought to himself.

Stella burst out laughing and teased, "When the technology advances, I'll let him bear our third child if

he's not too old yet."

Keegan looked at her with a helpless expression. Stella was the only person who could make fun of

him like that and not ignite his anger.

"Twins, twins..." Trevor muttered under his breath and felt excited himself.

After a while, he said, "Should I tell Dad, or should you two do it?" "Let's wait until we can reveal that

Keegan has recovered his memory. It won't take too long."

Trevor immediately understood Stella's intention. He asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" "Not

for now. Oh, and before I forget, have you learned anything about Paul Morant, the person I asked you

to look into?"

Keegan perked up his ears. That was a name he had never heard before.

Trevor answered, "I have, but it seems he has very few connections with Ms. Spade."

Stella continued asking, "What did you find out?" "Paul Morant is not from Hustuabourg; he was born

and raised in Mystonia. His grandparents moved abroad very long ago. His name used to be Dion

Griffin, and both of his parents are doctors. He also studied medicine.

"About thirty years ago, his father came to Rivera for academic exchange and stayed here for more

than three years. That was the time he changed his name to Paul Morant.

"I looked up everything he has done during his stay here. However, it has been so many years, and I

can barely verify anything. Furthermore, his registered address was not in the same district as Ms.

Spade, so I'm pretty sure they didn't know each other.

"Actually, Paul Morant has quite a tragic fate. Twenty years ago, a gas leak in his house caused an

explosion. His pregnant wife died in that fire, and he was so severely injured that he could not become

a surgeon anymore.

"He has been seeking medical help with the support of his parents all these years. But after recovering

for some time, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. Perhaps he knows his life is ending and wants to do

some good before passing away.

"I guess that's why he thought of the place he lived in during his younger days and decided to come

back to Rivera."

Stella kept quiet for a long time.

Trevor asked, "Stella, why exactly are you investigating this person?”

Stella had only told him that Paul was related to Rainee and the welfare center without revealing any

other details.

After a few moments, Stella said, "Trevor, this person donated to the welfare center and claimed to

know my mom. However, I've never seen him, and my mom has never mentioned anything about him.

Now, according to what you found, he has nothing to do with my mom at all. Why would he lie to me?"

Trevor paused before he said, "Maybe it was just a random excuse he came up with. He's terminally ill,

after all. Perhaps he doesn't want others to know about his past."novelbin

After a short pause, Trevor added, "What do you think is suspicious?"

With a frown, Stella said, "I don't know. I just find it strange. That person gives me a very unsettling

feeling. But he seems to genuinely know my mother because he knows who I am. However, when he

left Rivera and returned to Mystonia, my mom hadn't even married yet, let alone had me.

How could he possibly know about my existence?"
