Chapter 665: Chapter 664
Ti is running short…
Kiera Olsen’s heart suddenly sank.
She had a deep affection for old Mrs. Horton; back in Oceanion, during the ti the old lady stayed at her ho, she always depended on Kiera, who stood up for her and was her most protective elder.
It was the old lady who convinced Lewis Horton to believe in their actual marriage…
Latter on, no matter what she did, the old lady was always extrely supportive of her.
Indeed…
She didn’t have much ti left, and back in Oceanion, she only had two months to live; it was after taking her dicine that her condition stabilized.
But after all, she was eighty-seven years old now, and all her body functions were aging…
Kiera Olsen felt a heaviness settle in her heart: “If that’s the case, you shouldn’t be spending your ti with . You should be with Grandma!”
Lewis Horton lowered his gaze: “It’s Grandma who wanted to be with you.”
Lewis Horton had returned to the Horton Family several tis, but each ti he did, the grandmother would shoo him away, insisting he stay with Kiera Olsen, fearing she would lose her granddaughter-in-law again…
Lewis Horton felt a suffocating pain in his heart just thinking about what the doctor had said.
Old Mrs. Horton told the doctor that she feared that once she passed away, Lewis would be left without any relatives in this world, so she said he must protect Kiera Olsen at all costs.
Kiera Olsen was his only family now.
Thinking about this, Lewis Horton still felt a tightness in his chest.
In the past, when Grandma couldn’t rember other things, she still rembered his wife…
Now that she could recall the past, she was still thinking of him…
He couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
Kiera Olsen imdiately followed him, saying directly: “You should have told earlier. From now on, we’ll live with the Horton family.”
Lewis Horton looked at her.
Kiera Olsen then said without hesitation: “I will do my things, and you will be busy with your work, but we will both co back every night to be with Grandma and not go to the Olsen family anymore.”
Lewis Horton’s voice caught, as he broke into a smile: “Thank you, Kiera.”
Kiera Olsen patted his hand: “She’s my Grandma as well.”
“Yeah.”
They exchanged a smile and stepped briskly into old Mrs. Horton’s yard.
Erin South Martin followed behind them, looking at their clasped hands. She couldn’t help but glance at her own hand, then scoffed lightly to herself and continued following them.
As the group entered the yard, they saw Fiona accompanying Old Mrs. Horton on a walk.
The two were facing away and did not see the group clearly.
Old Mrs. Horton was arranging her affairs: “Fiona, don’t worry. Once I’m gone, that boy Lewis will certainly provide for your retirent!”
Fiona imdiately protested: “What are you saying, Old Mrs. Horton! You can’t leave us. Even if Mr. Horton is willing to support , the first branch of the family will bully ! I want you to stay and cover for !”
Old Mrs. Horton laughed: “I am eighty-seven years old; to live any longer would make an old hag. Fiona, rest assured, when I’m gone, you’ll stay here. The first branch of the family… they won’t be able to make trouble for much longer.”
Fiona was confused: “Old Mrs. Horton, what do you an?”
“Do you think Lewis truly can’t handle those people from the first branch? The fighting back and forth, pretending to be evenly matched, it’s all to make this old lady worry about him and dare not die. But I’ve discovered a little secret about Lewis.”
Fiona imdiately asked: “What secret?”
“Lewis is clever, you know. He’s held back in his fight with the first branch. Oh, that child, he’s doing it for . After all, they are my son, my grandson, my great-grandson… he doesn’t want to break my heart. So, the mont I close my eyes will be the mont the first branch will be dealt with.”
Fiona’s eyes welled up with tears: “Old Mrs. Horton, so you must live longer. This way, whether Mr. Horton pretends or whatever he does, he can protect the first branch a little longer.”
But Old Mrs. Horton waved her hand: “Fiona, the Horton family owes Lewis. His mother neglected him, and after he stayed with the Horton family, his father also ignored him. He was so young, so small, he had a miserable ti when he was thrown into the old house. Later, he left ho to study abroad… It’s the Horton family that owes him! I can’t be so selfish. Just for this old lady’s sake, to keep him living like that, oppressed. So when the ti cos for to die, I should die.”
Fiona cried: “Old Mrs. Horton, please don’t talk like that!”
“Why are you crying?” Old Mrs. Horton sighed: “When Kiera died, I was truly frightened and felt like I should live a few more years, I was really afraid that once I left, Lewis would soon follow. But now it’s fine, he still has soone he can’t bear to leave in this world.”
Fiona imdiately choked up: “Old Mrs. Horton…”
“Don’t worry, I still have a month’s ti left! But I’m truly tired, I’m conflicted, I hesitate… I don’t know whether I should die or keep living. Fiona, aren’t sons born to settle scores with their mothers? Nathan Horton, that bastard, he was so terrible to Lewis, but to … he was truly filial. Alas…”
Old Mrs. Horton let a tear fall: “So, as a grandmother, I’m holding Lewis back…”
Hearing this, Kiera Olsen imdiately turned to look at Lewis Horton.
There stood the usually composed man, now with tears streaming down his face.
Kiera Olsen understood old Mrs. Horton’s dilemma.
After all, that was her son, her grandson…
If Lewis Horton really struck hard…
