At her words, everyone in the room turned to look at her.

Isla hesitated, “Where is Dr. South?”

Jake also looked at Keira eagerly.

Agitated, Mrs. Olsen began to cough violently, “Where is…”

Seeing this, Keira hastily handed her a cup of tea.

Mrs. Olsen took the cup of tea with her shaky hands.

The next moment, the teacup slipped from her hand.

Mrs. Olsen fainted on the dining table.

“Ma’am!”

Keira cried out, instinctively reaching out to help Mr. Olsen but was pushed away by Isla.

“Back off! What did you do to my mom?! Mom! Wake up…quick, call an ambulance…”

The ambulance arrived promptly.

Keira wanted to get in the ambulance and follow them to the hospital but was stopped by Jake. “An illegitimate daughter should stay away from Mrs. Olsen! If anything happens to her because of you, I won’t let it pass!!”

He pushed her away.

Keira didn’t argue. She hailed a taxi and followed closely behind them.

Lewis finished dinner with the old lady and was working outside the suite.

Having read the documents for a long time, he felt irritated and decided to gaze into the distance out of the window.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure downstair.

A group of people were hastily pushing a stretcher toward the inpatient department.

Keira was following them from afar, looking like an abandoned little fox.

Hmm.

Lewis raised his eyebrows and suddenly stood up, heading outside.

Once he reached the ground floor, he saw Isla and Jake arranging the hospitalization procedures.

The doctor said, “Sorry, all the wards are currently full. You can stay in the corridor until a bed is available, and we’ll arrange it as soon as possible.”

Jake asked, “Are there no VIP wards available? Price is not an issue.”

The doctor answered, “No.”

Isla cried pitifully, “Jake, what do we do now?”

“Don’t panic. I’ll figure something out.”

Jake pulled out his mobile phone and started making calls aside.

Lewis noticed that while Isla looked anxious, she didn’t seem to be too worried about Mrs. Olsen.

His gaze fell onto Keira.

Unlike Isla Olsen, the girl looked calm but was staring at Mrs. Olsen on the stretcher. It seemed as if she was extremely cautious, not wanting to disturb the patient at all.

Although she didn’t say a word, it was clear from her expression that she was worried.

Lewis studied her.

Suddenly, he said to Tom, who was following him, “Help Miss Olsen get a bed.”

“…Yes.”

Keira was waiting by Mrs. Olsen’s stretcher. Seeing that Jake had made some calls with a darkened face, she knew he couldn’t solve the problem.

Mrs. Olsen wasn’t in a life-threatening situation. She had just fainted due to insomnia caused by persistent coughing; she simply needed a good rest. It was too noisy here!

But Keira didn’t have connections in Oceanion hospitals. She wondered if she should ask that person for help.

She hesitated and took out her phone, found a number named “Creditor”, and was about to make a call…

The registration counter at the inpatient department received a call and immediately gestured toward them, “A VIP ward has just become vacant!” Isla said happily, “Jake, you are amazing!”

Jake looked confused.

He thought his friends were just placating him when they promised to figure something out. Did they actually manage to help?

He didn’t give it a second thought and took credit for the accomplishment.

The group went upstairs to the ward.

Keira followed suit. Mrs. Olsen looked more gaunt than she did ten years ago, her face devoid of any color…

She was pushed into the ward.

Keira followed her but was stopped by Isla at the door, “Keira, my mother needs rest. Please don’t disturb her.”

Bang!

The door shut.

Keira stood in place, stunned.

Although she was worried about Mrs. Olsen’s health, she understood that she didn’t have the right or status to push this door open.

Keira was planning to wait until Mrs. Olsen woke up, so she sat down on the bench outside.

Not long after, she heard hasty footsteps. Taylor, with a worried look on his face, hurried into the ward as he panted for breath.

After confirming that Mrs. Olsen wasn’t in critical condition, he took Isla outside to talk in the corridor.

Taylor frowned and asked, “What happened? How did she faint all of a sudden?”

Isla looked over at Keira, who was sitting on the side, and said, “Keira insisted on getting to know Dr. South. She argued with Jake, which upset Mom…”

As soon as she said that, Taylor looked fiercely at Keira, “Ungrateful creature!!” Without saying another word, he swung his arm to slap Keira! Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Keira didn’t dodge.

All she could think of was the image of Mrs. Olsen’s pale face after she fainted.

She recalled what Isla once said, “My mom is unhappy because of you!”

Maybe she really shouldn’t have appeared in front of Mrs. Olsen!

“Smack!”

The anticipated pain never came. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure standing in front of her.

Lewis, suited and booted, looked like a deity.

He stood there as if he was holding up the sky for her.

Keira blinked, suppressing the tears in her eyes and the bitterness in her heart.

She heard Taylor’s flustered voice. “Mr. Horton? What are you…”

Then she heard Lewis’s deep, pleasant voice, “Mr. Olsen, I wouldn’t have intervened, but my grandma likes her, and if she sees any injury on Miss Olsen, she’ll be upset.”

Taylor immediately said, “I’m sorry about that..”

They were about to say something when Mrs. Olsen coughed.

She was awake!

Taylor and Isla immediately went inside.

Keira stood up, wanting to go in and check on Mrs. Olsen’s condition but didn’t dare to…

She hesitated at the door for a long time.

She could hear Mrs. Olsen’s weak voice, “…I’m fine. Don’t worry…I haven’t slept properly for a long time, so I fell asleep as soon as I fainted…it was quite comfortable…”

Keira relaxed, resurrecting her lost vitality.

Lewis averted his gaze.

The girl had just looked as lost as a homeless little fox, and he felt sorry for her.

He asked, “Are you not going in?”

Keira answered, “Not for now.”

Otherwise, it would lead to a verbal showdown, which would disturb Mrs. Olsen.

Just as the two turned around, they saw the old lady, who was supported by the butler. “I heard my granddaughter-in-law’s mother is hospitalized. So, I came to check…”

Keira held her arm, “Grandma, Mrs. Olsen isn’t my mother…”

“Did I get it wrong?”

The old lady suddenly took out her phone, found a photo, and gave it to Keira. “Granddaughter-in-law, this is a photo that you sent to me before, saying it was you and your mother. Isn’t the person in the ward the one in this photo?” Keira glanced at the photo and was immediately taken aback.

In the photo was Mrs.. Olsen and her!!
