Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Keira Olsen suddenly turned around and saw a tall figure wrapped in the cold wind entering the room.
The weather had turned cold, and the man was wearing a black woolen overcoat, which made him look tall and imposing.
As he entered, his gaze swept over everyone present and then settled on Keira Olsen. He approached her and asked in a deep voice, “How is Mrs. Olsen?”
It was Lewis Horton who had co back.
He had ssaged Keira Olsen last night, saying that although his grandmother had not yet woken up, her life was not in danger, which reassured Keira enough to stay with Jodie South.
Keira Olsen replied, “She’s been discharged from the hospital, don’t worry.”
“Good.”
Only then did Lewis Horton turn to Oliver Horton and Nathan Horton, his voice solemn as he said, “You needn’t bother yourselves with my marriage. My wife is my responsibility! Even without a powerful maternal family, having as her support is more than enough!”
Nathan Horton sneered, “Do you think I want to worry about you? Soone as cold-hearted as you would naturally have an unfilial wife! While everyone was here last night watching over your grandmother since she had not woken up, she wasn’t!”
Lewis Horton explained, “Mrs. Olsen was also hospitalized. She was in the hospital accompanying Mrs. Olsen!”
Oliver Horton imdiately scoffed, “Once she married into the Horton Family, she beca a daughter-in-law of the Horton’s! She has just acknowledged her mother, is she afraid she won’t get the inheritance if her mom dies? How short-sighted! Can’t she tell who is more important between her mother and grandmother?”
Keira Olsen clenched her fists tightly. Inheritance?
This was a curse and a vulgarity directed at Jodie South!
Her gaze turned icy in an instant, and Lewis Horton’s expression beca even sharper as he snapped, “Shut up!”
Nathan Horton frowned, “Shut up whom? He’s your brother!”
Lewis Horton’s look grew stern, “If I hear him insult Mrs. Olsen again, you will need to consider how his inheritance should be distributed.”
His uncompromising deanor made Oliver Horton imdiately shut his mouth.
Because he knew that this brother of his could definitely do what he promised!
Nathan Horton, frustrated, slapped the armrest of his chair, about to speak when Fiona burst out joyfully, “Old Mrs. Horton has woken up!”
At this news, Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton imdiately left the first branch of the family and headed to Old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom.
They saw the old lady looking refreshed and radiant; she smiled at the door and said to Lewis Horton, “You brat, where have you been?”
Lewis Horton imdiately went to her side, “I stepped out to take a call.”
“Oh.”
Old Mrs. Horton then turned to Keira Olsen and imdiately grabbed her hand, “This must be my daughter-in-law, right? Davis, this brat doesn’t know how to pamper people. If you feel wronged, rember to tell , and I will definitely take your side! Just don’t turn around and leave, okay?”
Keira Olsen was stunned!
She instinctively exchanged glances with Lewis Horton, then both of them simultaneously looked at Old Mrs. Horton and asked, “Grandma, who are we?”
“Hey! You brat, I’m your mom! Why are you calling ‘Grandma’?”
Old Mrs. Horton slapped Lewis Horton.
Lewis Horton was imdiately stunned.
He stared blankly at Old Mrs. Horton, then suddenly clenched his fists.
Old Mrs. Horton then grabbed Keira Olsen’s hand again, “Davis, don’t stand, sit down quickly, especially since you’re pregnant… whether the child in your belly is a boy or a girl, I promise to love her for a lifeti!”
Lewis Horton’s eyes slightly reddened.
Even though Grandma no longer recognized him, she was still showing concern for him.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the first branch of the family had already joined them, and Nathan Horton began, “Mom can only rember …”
Oliver Horton imdiately said, “Of course, after all, Dad, you are her only son! Even if she loves Lewis, it’s just because he is your son…”
Nathan Horton smiled upon hearing this.
For years, the old lady had eyes only for her grandson Lewis Horton, completely disregarding him and the first branch of the family. Unexpectedly, now that she was confused, she still had him in her heart.
Nathan Horton pushed Lewis Horton aside and approached Old Mrs. Horton, “Mom, how are you feeling?”
Old Mrs. Horton imdiately furrowed her brow, “Old man? Aren’t you dead? How are you still alive? Did you rise from the dead?”
Nathan Horton: ??
He twitched the corners of his mouth, “Mom, I’m Nathan Horton.”
“What kind of joke is that!” Old Mrs. Horton waved her hand and pointed at Lewis Horton, “My son is handso and dashing, how could you be this old geezer! I can tell just by looking, you’ve got a bad look on your face!”
Nathan Horton: !
The few people in the room struggled to hold back their laughter, only Keira Olsen slightly furrowed her brows.
The old lady’s dentia was getting more severe, her mory had even regressed to when Nathan Horton was young… It seed they must use dication now!
Thinking of this, she took out her phone, just about to ssage the manager in Clance, when she received a WhatsApp ssage from them: “Director Nora, hello, we are almost at the Horton Family residence in Oceanion to deliver the dication!”
Researcher Nora’s Chinese na is Nora, so people in Crera called her Director Nora.
Keira Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, it seed the dicine would be delivered today.
Just as she thought this, Selena Horton spoke up, “Grandpa, don’t be upset, Great Grandmother is just ill…”
Nathan Horton furrowed his brow and then sighed, “I don’t even know if she can rember .”
Nathan Horton did have feelings for Old Mrs. Horton, after all, she was his own mother.
Moreover, since his father passed away early, it was his mother who raised him single-handedly, and the Horton Group originally started with her trading in hardware. Later, when Old Mrs. Horton and Nathan Horton had a disagreent about managing the company, she voluntarily stayed ho and stopped ddling in the company’s affairs.
Even so, several of the company’s veteran figures were her forr subordinates.
That was why Old Mrs. Horton still held thirty percent of the shares in the Horton Group and so people’s loyalty.
It was because of Old Mrs. Horton’s support that Lewis Horton was able to take control of the Horton Group imdiately upon returning to the country!
Therefore, Nathan Horton both loved and hated Old Mrs. Horton!
Nathan Horton looked directly at Selena Horton, “The dication you ntioned, does it really work?”
Selena Horton spoke up, “Grandpa, so far, Researcher Nora has developed fifteen kinds of special dications, and the ones that have hit the market have received very good responses. This Alzheir’s dication, she reportedly spent a long ti researching…”
As she spoke, her phone rang.
Selena Horton glanced down at it and imdiately said joyously, “Grandpa, the workers from the laboratory in Clance are already at the door, I’ll go welco them in right now!”
After saying this, Selena Horton left the room.
Nathan Horton watched her leave and then glanced at Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen, unable to help but snort coldly, “You two better treat Selena well in the future, especially you, Lewis Horton. She even managed to secure a hard-to-find dicine for your grandmother, you owe her a favor!”
Keira Olsen scoffed, “What you’re saying isn’t right, the grandmother isn’t just Lewis Horton’s grandmother, isn’t she also Selena’s great grandmother?”
She truly found it ludicrous.
Nathan Horton imdiately glared at her, “No manners! How dare you talk back when an elder is speaking!”
Oliver Horton imdiately said, “Dad, don’t get angry. I think Lewis’s wife feels that you’re biased towards Selena…”
“Keira Olsen, if you could be like Selena, helping your grandmother find special dication, I’d be biased towards you too!” Nathan Horton sneered, “But you don’t have the connections or the family background, can you do it?”
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen narrowed her eyes, “Who says I can’t?”
As she said this, Selena Horton entered the door with the researchers from the institute.
