Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Keira Olsen twitched the corner of her mouth.
Once again, she gazed at Mrs. Jodie South lying on the hospital bed… Thinking of Uncle Olsen’s protection over her, and the frenzy as if he would slaughter the whole hospital for her sake.
She couldn’t help but wonder, was there possibly so story between Jodie South and Uncle Olsen?
Should she go to see Uncle Olsen?
Keira Olsen was caught in hesitation.
Isla Olsen had gone to et soone without a second thought, carrying a hope to please, to let Jake Horton know about her connections, but Keira didn’t need those.
The conversation between Taylor Olsen and Uncle Olsen made it clear that Jodie South did not want to et Uncle Olsen, so as Jodie South’s daughter, her standpoint should certainly align with her mother’s!
Thinking this, Keira Olsen directly replied to the ssage: “Sorry, I will go if my mom agrees.”
While she was sending this ssage, she didn’t know why, but felt an inexplicable sense of happiness deep inside.
As a child, others would always say “My mom won’t let ” do sothing, and even later on the internet, there was a popular phrase that went “My mom won’t let hang out with idiots.”
But every ti she saw these words, she would pause slightly.
Because her “mom” only told her not to contravene Miss Isla’s orders, not to do well in exams… yet she had never truly cared for her.
But now, she also had a good mom.
A trace of moisture appeared in Keira Olsen’s eyes as she walked back to Mrs. Olsen’s bedside, grasping her other hand. Her lips parted, and even though it was hard to utter those words, she still managed to call out, “Mom…”
As soon as she spoke those words, Mrs. Olsen, who had been motionless on the hospital bed, moved her eyeballs slightly.
Keira Olsen felt as if sothing resonated within her, and she was just about to turn her head to look when her cellphone suddenly rang.
Keira Olsen glanced at the caller ID, looked again at Mrs. Olsen, then picked up her phone and walked to a corner to answer it.
She didn’t notice, when she let go of Mrs. Olsen’s hand, that Mrs. Olsen’s fingers also moved slightly.
Keira Olsen walked into the other room to answer the phone, where a smooth English voice ca through: “Oh, my dear Researcher Nora, our Alzheir’s disease project has now reached its final stages, we have also initiated clinical trials at the research institute in Clance, Crera. Many people are signing up. Since you’re in Crera, could you possibly handle the scientific data for us in Clance?”
Keira Olsen blandly said, “Didn’t we agree that I am only responsible for the research, not the ongoing managent?”
“There’s no way around it, Crera is a country of personal favors. Once our project was announced, many people sought connections for an experintal spot. But our initial budget is limited, and we only have enough dication for fifty people, so you, being an unbiased researcher, will have to handle it!”
Keira Olsen thought for a mont: “Then I will not consider anyone’s influence, I will only choose suitable candidates for the experint.”
“No problem.”
The person on the phone laughed, “In Crera, probably only your status can intimidate those administrators. I wouldn’t have co to you if I wasn’t desperate.”
“Understood.”
Leaving that remark, Keira Olsen added, “By the way, I have soone very important in Oceanion who may not be able to wait until the drug trials are over. Arrange for soone from Clance to co here personally.”
“Not a problem at all.” The other person laughed, “I am also very curious about the person who could suddenly make you pick up this long-stalled project.”
Keira Olsen lowered her gaze: “It’s my husband’s grandmother.”
“OK, understood!”
Keira Olsen ended the call, lips curling into a faint smile.
She had not anticipated the progression of Alzheir’s disease to be faster than she imagined. Now that grandma’s condition was still good, using the dicine on her, she should be able to rember her past soon, right?
Then, she would be able to figure out why she and Lewis Horton really got married!
Of course, her doing all this for old Mrs. Horton wasn’t entirely because she wanted to know the answer, but because when she was at her most painful and helpless, the old lady’s appearance made her feel the warmth of a ho.
Thinking back to the warm tis she had spent with the old lady in that two-bedroom apartnt, Keira Olsen’s eyes softened.
Then, she looked towards Mrs. Olsen.
Mom, you must wake up soon to fill up the mother-daughter love of these twenty-plus years.
Just as she thought this, Lewis Horton’s phone also rang.
Keira thought he was busy with company matters and did not mind, but then she heard Lewis’s deep, panicky voice, “What? Grandma fainted?! I’m coming back imdiately!”
He hung up the phone and glanced at Keira Olsen.
Keira glanced at Mrs. Olsen and without hesitation walked over to him, “I’ll co back with you.”
She had to stay by Mrs. Olsen’s side before because Mrs. Olsen clearly had sothing to tell her before she fainted, so Keira wanted Mrs. Olsen to see her as soon as she woke up.
Now that she already knew what Mrs. Olsen wanted to say, and since Mrs. Olsen would not wake up anyti soon, she decisively decided to go back with Lewis Horton to check on grandma!
Downstairs, in the parking lot.
Ellis Olsen stared at his phone, looked at it for a long ti, and rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen wrong.
Uncle Olsen was soone those people in Clance tried desperately to ingratiate themselves with, even Isla Olsen and Jake Horton couldn’t wait to treat him well when they saw him.
Even just now, when Jake left, he had co to say goodbye, ntioning that he had prepared a place for them to stay.
But what was this reply from Keira Olsen?
She wanted to follow her mom’s advice?
He twitched the corner of his mouth, even the veins on his forehead throbbing!
Did Keira Olsen even know what she was doing?
Even if she wasn’t the illegitimate daughter, she was rely a lady from a second-tier wealthy family like the Olsen Family, clearly not a match for Lewis Horton at all. But Uncle Olsen was so protective of her; just a few nice words from her, and Uncle Olsen adopting her as a goddaughter would make everything smooth sailing!
That Keira Olsen really didn’t know good from bad!
All of Ellis Olsen’s little actions were caught by Uncle Olsen’s eyes, who asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ellis twitched the corner of his mouth and handed him the phone.
After seeing the reply, Uncle Olsen did not get angry but instead laughed, “This Keira Olsen really has Miss South’s spirit!”
He really hadn’t taken a liking to Isla, finding her behavior too petty, nothing like Miss South.
Unexpectedly, not only did Keira Olsen’s deanor resemble Miss South’s, but her character was exactly the sa too!
A gleam of appreciation flashed through Uncle Olsen’s eyes.
He was just about to get back into the car when he suddenly saw Lewis Horton and a girl hurrying out from the entrance of the hospital!
Uncle Olsen’s steps paused slightly, and his gaze landed on the girl!
