Chapter 29: Chapter 29
With a single sentence, three people in the room turned their heads abruptly toward her.
Isla hesitated, “Where is Dr. South?”
Jake also looked eagerly at her.
Mrs. Olsen, agitated, suddenly began to cough violently, “Cough cough… where is she… cough cough…”
Seeing her cough so severely, Keira quickly handed her a cup of tea.
Mrs. Olsen reached out with shaking hands and took the cup.
...
The next mont, the teacup slipped from her hands.
Mrs. Olsen collapsed directly onto the dining table.
“Madam!”
Keira exclaid in shock and subconsciously moved to support her, but Isla forcefully pushed her away:
“Get away! What did you do to my mom?! Mom! Wake up…Quick, call 120…”
The ambulance arrived quickly.
Keira still wanted to get into the ambulance to follow them to the hospital, but Jake grabbed her in disgust, “Illegitimate daughter, stay away from Mrs. Olsen! If you upset her into a bad state, I’ll never let it go!!”
He forcefully pushed her away.
Keira did not entangle further, swiftly hailed a taxi, and closely followed their trail.
…
Lewis Horton had dinner with the old lady and then worked outside the suite.
After looking through docunts for a long ti, he was inexplicably agitated, and he simply looked out the window into the distance.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure downstairs.
A group of people surrounded a gurney, rushing towards the hospital wing.
At the back of the crowd, Keira followed at a distance, looking like a fox that had been abandoned.
Tsk.
Lewis raised an eyebrow and suddenly got up and walked outside.
Upon reaching the first floor, he saw Isla and Jake Horton at the reception handling the hospital admission.
The doctor said, “I’m sorry, all the wards are full now, you can only temporarily stay in the corridor. We will arrange a bed as soon as one becos available.”
Jake asked, “Are there no VIP wards available either? I’m willing to pay any amount.”
The doctor replied, “There are none left.”
Isla cried pitifully, “Jake, what do we do now?”
“Don’t panic, I’ll think of sothing.”
Jake took out his cellphone and stepped aside to start making calls.
Lewis noticed that although Isla’s face looked anxious, her eyes didn’t seem to be as worried about Mrs. Olsen.
His gaze then fell on Keira.
Unlike Isla, although the girl’s expression was calm, her eyes were firmly fixed on the hospital bed where Mrs. Olsen lay, her deanor cautious as if she was afraid of disturbing the patient’s rest.
Despite not saying a word, her worry was completely apparent.
Lewis’s eyes deepened.
He suddenly said to Tom Davis, who was following behind him, “Arrange a ward for Miss Olsen.”
“…Yes.”
…
Keira stood beside Mrs. Olsen’s hospital bed and saw Jake making several calls with a grim expression, then she knew relying on him was futile.
Mrs. Olsen was not in life-threatening danger. She had fainted due to coughing, which was a result of prolonged insomnia. She desperately needed quiet rest now, but this chaotic place was too noisy!
But she had no connections at this hospital in Oceanion…Should she ask that person for help?
She hesitated, took out her phone, located a contact nad “Debtor,” and was about to make the call…
The reception desk at the admissions picked up a call and imdiately waved to them, “A VIP ward just beca available!”
Isla imdiately rejoiced, “Jake, you really have a way!”
Jake appeared baffled.
The few friends he had just asked for help had been noncommittal, suggesting they would just try. Could soone really have co through for them?
He didn’t think much and simply took credit for it.
A group of people went upstairs and moved into the hospital room.
Keira Olsen followed closely behind, the Mrs. Olsen on the hospital bed was even thinner than ten years ago, her face devoid of any color…
She was wheeled into the hospital room.
Keira Olsen subconsciously followed in, but Isla Olsen blocked her at the door, “Keira Olsen, my mother needs rest. Please don’t disturb her.”
“Bang!”
The door closed.
Keira Olsen stood there stunned.
Although she was anxious about Mrs. Olsen’s health, she understood that she didn’t have the status or right to open that door.
…
Keira Olsen wanted to wait for Mrs. Olsen to wake up before leaving, so she sat down on a bench outside.
Before long, a rush of hurried footsteps was heard, and Taylor Olsen rushed into the hospital room, his face full of worry and panting.
After confirming that Mrs. Olsen wasn’t in serious trouble, he pulled Isla out to talk in the corridor.
Taylor Olsen frowned and asked, “What happened? How could she have fainted all of a sudden?”
Isla glanced at Keira sitting beside them and directly said, “It was Keira who insisted on eting Dr. South and argued with Jake, which upset mom…”
Upon hearing this, Taylor Olsen imdiately glared at Keira Olsen, “Ungrateful creature!”
Without another word, he swung his arm and struck down at Keira Olsen!
Keira Olsen didn’t dodge.
All she could think about was Mrs. Olsen’s pale face after she had passed out!
Thinking of what Isla had once said, “My mother’s life beca so unhappy because of you!”
…Perhaps she really shouldn’t have appeared before Mrs. Olsen!
“Smack!”
The anticipated pain did not co; when she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure standing in front of her.
Lewis Horton, dressed in a suit and looking like an angel.
He stood there, as if shielding her under his protection.
Keira Olsen blinked, pressing down the moisture in her eyes and the bitterness at the heart.
She heard Taylor Olsen’s panicked voice, “Mr. Horton? What is this…?”
Then ca the man’s deep, pleasing voice, “Mr. Olsen, it’s your daughter to raise, and I shouldn’t interfere. But grandma likes her now. If she sees injuries on Miss Olsen’s face, she would be upset.”
Taylor Olsen imdiately said, “It was my lack of consideration.”
As the group was about to say more, a cough suddenly ca from inside the hospital room.
She was awake!
Taylor Olsen and Isla Olsen imdiately entered the hospital room.
Keira Olsen stood up, wanting to check on Mrs. Olsen’s condition, but again she hesitated to enter…
She lingered at the door, hesitating for a long ti.
Listening to the weak voice of Mrs. Olsen from inside the room, “…I’m fine, don’t worry… I haven’t slept well in a long ti, I just fainted and had a good sleep…”
Keira Olsen’s expression relaxed, and she seed much more alive.
Lewis Horton shifted his gaze.
The girl’s bewildered look just now, like a little fox that couldn’t find ho, was pitiful.
He asked, “Not going in?”
Keira Olsen answered, “Not for now.”
Otherwise, it would be another round of fiery argunts, disturbing Mrs. Olsen’s rest.
As they turned around, they saw the little old lady assisted by the butler walking over, “I heard my granddaughter-in-law’s mother was hospitalized, so I ca to see…”
Keira Olsen held her arm, “Grandma, Mrs. Olsen is not my mom…”
“Could I have mistaken her?”
The little old lady suddenly took out her phone, scrolled through the album, and handed Keira Olsen a photo, “Granddaughter-in-law, this is the photo you sent before, saying it was you and your mom. Isn’t the person in the hospital room the person in the photo?”
Keira Olsen glanced at it and suddenly froze.
In the photo, it was she and Mrs. Olsen!!
