Chapter 109: Chapter 109
Keira Olsen turned her head and saw the sowhat discomfited expression on Mr. Allen’s face. She furrowed her brows, hesitated, and then inquired, “Uncle Allen, what did you just call ?”
Mr. Allen ca back to his senses.
He stared blankly at Keira Olsen, hesitated and looked her up and down: “South…”
Soone tugged at his sleeve.
Mrs. Allen walked up to him, interrupting him: “It’s nothing. Your Uncle Allen’s eyes are playing tricks, Keira. What are you doing here?”
Keira Olsen answered, “Mr. Olsen was hospitalized, and I just brought him over.”
She looked upstairs and then lowered her gaze: “But now I have to leave.”
“Okay,” Mrs. Allen said with a smile, “it’s getting dark. Go ho early and rest.”
Keira Olsen asked, “When will you return to Clance?”
Mrs. Allen chuckled: “No rush. Although the rehabilitation dical treatnt here in Oceanion is not as good as in Clance, it’s enough for Rebecca. Rebecca was worried about you and didn’t want to leave. Although you’re fine now, we can’t change the rehabilitation training plan we’ve made just like that, so we’ll stay for now!”
Keira Olsen nodded: “Then I’ll co to see Rebecca when I’m free.”
“Sure.”
After Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton left, Mrs. Allen finally glared at Mr. Allen: “What nonsense were you spouting?”
Mr. Allen said with a sense of grievance, “Why can’t I talk about it?”
Mrs. Allen sighed, “I’ve inquired about the situation with the Olsen Family. Keira’s identity is awkward, and at first glance, she looks quite like Mrs. Olsen. But if you look closely, it’s just a similarity in temperant. Lady South is Mrs. Olsen’s mother, so Keira’s temperant should also be sowhat similar. Without proof, what if you blurt out sothing and it turns out to be a huge misunderstanding in the end?”
Mr. Allen touched his nose: “But that doesn’t an I shouldn’t say anything, does it?”
Mrs. Allen said irritably: “It’s not that I won’t let you talk. Isn’t the photo being restored? When it’s fixed, you can take the picture to Keira. Wouldn’t that be more persuasive?”
Mr. Allen pouted: “In the end, you just don’t believe .”
Mrs. Allen sighed, “Every family cherishes their children the most, and there would be nurses, nannies, doctors all around during childbirth. Even if Mrs. Olsen ca to Oceanion alone without anyone else, given her background and family history, the child’s father would at least be by the hospital bed. Do you know how difficult it would be to mix up the children? So, this whole thing is too far-fetched. If it gets out, it’s likely to be just a farce in the end.”
Mr. Allen pouted, “Alright, alright, you’re right. Just wait for the photo.”
He couldn’t help but take out his phone and @Frankie Allen in the group: “How long will the photo restoration take? Can’t you speed it up?!”
The reply from Frankie Allen ca quickly: “Your photo is severely damaged. The restorer said it will take at least five days to fix.”
For the first ti, Mr. Allen felt ti to be so unbearable: “Five days it is, then!”
…
Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton returned to the Horton Family estate.
The car parked directly in the yard of old Mrs. Horton’s residence.
After getting out of the car and entering the living room, they saw old Mrs. Horton hadn’t gone to bed yet. She was dozing off on the sofa, her head nodding bit by bit.
The butler Fiona was beside her, forcing a smile. Seeing the two of them, she finally relaxed: “Old Mrs. Horton, the master and Miss Olsen are back! You can finally be at ease, right? Please go back to your room to sleep!”
Old Mrs. Horton suddenly woke up and hurriedly stood up to walk towards the two of them.
Lewis stepped forward to help her: “Grandma, be careful…”
But old Mrs. Horton walked straight past Lewis and went up to Keira Olsen, grabbing her wrist: “My granddaughter-in-law, you’ve finally returned!”
Lewis Horton: “…”
Fiona couldn’t help but laugh: “Miss Olsen, old Mrs. Horton ntioned you a hundred tis tonight. If one didn’t know better, they would think you were her granddaughter. Even the master is sidelined in front of you!”
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately said: “Where is that brat as nice as my sweet-slling granddaughter-in-law?”
Lewis Horton curled the corners of his mouth, “Grandma, have you forgotten your grandson now that you have a granddaughter-in-law!”
At these words, old Mrs. Horton’s eyes lit up, “So you admit that the granddaughter-in-law is your wife?”
“…”
Lewis Horton suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Horton didn’t care about him, instead turning directly to Kiera Olsen, “Granddaughter-in-law, this brat has taken a liking to you. What about you? Do you like this brat?”
Lewis Horton touched his nose and subconsciously looked towards Kiera Olsen.
Feeling that intense gaze, a suspicious flush crept over Kiera’s cheeks, and she coughed, “Grandma, it’s getting late. I’ll light the Calming Incense for you, and you should get so sleep.”
Old Mrs. Horton, not wanting to embarrass her granddaughter-in-law yet unconcerned about Lewis’s pride, nodded, “Alright.”
Kiera Olsen helped old Mrs. Horton into her bedroom.
The living room was suddenly left with only Lewis Horton.
His gaze heavy, he watched as the two left. Thinking about how Kiera Olsen hadn’t answered Grandma’s question, a sense of disappointnt suddenly settled in his heart.
It was then that Fiona suddenly spoke up, “Sir, will you sleep here tonight or will you go back to sleep at the main house?”
The Horton family estate was too large. Old Mrs. Horton required quiet for her recuperation, so they had chosen a small courtyard within the estate and built a three-story villa for her.
Usually, old Mrs. Horton lived there, along with the family doctor and the housekeeper, where it was quiet and undisturbed.
Since returning to the country, Lewis Horton had taken over the Horton Group, and to bolster his status as the household’s head, he had always stayed at the main residence’s master bedroom nearby.
Being suddenly asked, Lewis Horton coughed, “Grandma’s condition is unstable. I’m not at ease, so I’ll stay here for the night. I can look after her.”
Fiona smiled and bowed her head without exposing his true intentions, “Alright.”
Lewis Horton had a bedroom here.
He walked to the door but then his footsteps hesitated montarily.
Imdiately understanding, Fiona said, “Miss Olsen’s room is next to yours.”
“…” Lewis Horton lowered his gaze, “Fiona, you’ve been quite talkative tonight.”
Fiona continued to smile.
After Kiera Olsen had helped old Mrs. Horton fall asleep, she followed Fiona to the room she was temporarily staying in.
The night passed without incident.
When she woke up the next day, old Mrs. Horton was still asleep.
Kiera Olsen tiptoed into her room to check on her.
Just as she got close, old Mrs. Horton opened her eyes.
Upon seeing her, she imdiately smiled with a hint of surprise in her voice, “Granddaughter-in-law, you’re back!”
Kiera Olsen was taken aback, “Back?”
“Yes!” old Mrs. Horton grasped her hand, “You vanished after getting married to the brat, and I’ve been searching for you for a month. Now you’re finally back!”
Kiera Olsen suddenly realized, old Mrs. Horton was having an episode.
Her mory had gone back to the month after she and Lewis Horton had registered their marriage!
Kiera Olsen’s gaze darkened slightly as she suddenly asked, “Grandma, do you rember how I registered for marriage with Lewis Horton?”
Expecting to glean nothing substantial, to her surprise, old Mrs. Horton answered, “Of course, I rember!”
