Samuel’s tone was ominous. “If you can’t give a definite answer today, this matter won’t end! Don’t
think your Horton Group can just bully people as you please!”
Tom said helplessly, “That was when they were kids. My boss didn’t tell the details. I guessed it
from what Miss Davis usually says.”
Samuel kept cursing. “An incident from childhood is even more ridiculous, right? Can you confirm that
Miss Davis is indeed the one who saved his life? Don’t get
the wrong person again!”
Tom sighed. “We can confirm it. Although Miss Davis said the token was sold by her mother, we
conducted a lie detector test on her and could confirm she wasn’t
lying.”
“Is that Miss Davis really ntally ill?”
“Yes, we’ve consulted many experts both dostically and abroad; she has severe claustrophobia and
autism. My boss is her only redemption and hope for life…”
Tom looked at them, trying to explain on behalf of Lewis. “Miss Olsen, I know you must be blaming my
boss right now, but my boss never planned on
marrying Miss Davis. It’s only her wishful thinking! All these years, my boss has been paying for her
dical treatnt, but all the doctors said her condition was
too severe…”
Tom sighed. “I’ve been monitoring her all these years, thinking what if Miss Davis makes a mistake? If
she could just slip up, I could persuade my boss to give her up. But she hasn’t, and the only excessive
thing she did in all these years was during that birthday banquet, pretending to be Mrs. Horton for a
mont, but later she gave a reasonable explanation, saying it was because everyone just assud
she was, and she feared denying it would cause trouble for my boss. Since then, she’s been staying
quietly in the psychiatric hospital…”
Hearing this, Samuel felt it was ridiculous. “Is she so innocent? What should we do then? It’s not like
every ti she tries to kill herself, Lewis should go watch over her, right? Then what’s the point of my
boss’s marriage?”
Tom gave a wry smile. “I guess that’s why my boss decisively chose Miss Olsen and gave up on Miss
Davis previously. But after all, she saved his life once. Can he really just watch her die?”
Samuel was silent for a mont.
As a man, he always understood how important a sense of responsibility was.
If Lewis could be this ruthless toward Madeleine now,
could he one day be just as ruthless toward Keira?
The two of them fell silent for a mont.
Keira, with her eyes downcast, said, “The public opinion that has co up is a bit baffling. You two go
find out what’s happening.”
Tom imdiately said, “We’ve looked into it. The first branch of the family is making trouble.”
“Then press it down hard. Don’t let this matter get
more attention.”
Tom imdiately nodded. “I will.”
Samuel sneered. “The trending topic may have been suppressed, but now soone is broadcasting
live from the hospital!”
After hanging up, Keira opened Samuel’s live broadcast.
The live broadcast was evidently started by a journalist, and although the Horton family’s security
guards blocked them from getting close, one could still glimpse inside the ward.
Madeleine kept holding Lewis’s hand, not letting him leave.
It was only after her body could finally withstand a large dose of sedatives that she at last cald
down.
And so, Lewis was freed.
The journalist, unable to get close to Lewis for an interview, stood in front of the cara and began.
“The only redemption in her life is him, yet Mr. Horton has cruelly given up on her – how is this different
from sending soone to their death? How can Mr. Horton
be so heartless?”
“This is Gossip Daily, and we will keep an eye on this
news until the end.”
Keira turned off the live broadcast.
Both in her vision and in her mind were images of
Lewis’s back in front of Madeleine’s bed.
That back, once as solid as a mountain that provided a sense of reliability, now seed on the verge of
being
crushed.
Keira suddenly felt a bit sorry for him.
The night deepened gradually.
Madeleine’s condition stabilized, and her life was no longer in danger.
Lewis finally returned to the Horton residence.
He didn’t get out of the car, but sat inside, lighting a cigarette.
Flashes of the doctor’s words sparked in his mind. “Miss Davis’s will to live is very weak. If you really
are not coming to accompany her any further, then there is no need for further rescue because she’ll
definitely attempt suicide a second ti… Even if we can
monitor her at all tis, what can we do if she is
determined to die and refuses food and drink?
Moreover, she has a hundred ways to kill herself, and
we just need a mont of negligence… Mr. Horton, I’m sorry, I cannot guarantee the patient’s safety.”
Lewis took a deep drag of his cigarette.
Then he finally got out of the car.
Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard was very quiet.
Lewis quietly entered his own bedroom, and as soon as
he entered the door, he saw a familiar silhouette
sitting on the sofa in the dim room.
Lewis was slightly startled and was about to say sothing when he heard Keira.
“Let’s get a divorce.”
Keira’s voice was very faint.
At the sa ti, the courier had driven for six hours
and finally arrived at 76 Glow Village.
The more he drove, the more alard he beca.
Because No. 76 wasn’t just any small village house. This imposing big tile-roofed house stretched
down an
entire street!
It was clearly a grand family estate, the ancestral ho
here.

entrance and then knocked on the door.
Soone ca to open the door.
The courier asked, “Excuse , is there soone
called ‘Stubborn Five’ here?”
The servant imdiately frowned. “What Stubborn Five? Never heard of that na! Go away!”
It was his boss’s package, and he had promised to deliver it, so the courier refused to leave. Instead,
he
_started shouting. “Stubborn Five! Stubborn Five! You
have a package!”
Mr. Horton, who had just entered the courtyard, heard the argunt at the entrance and was slightly
taken aback. He ca over and asked with a frown.
“Whose package is it?”
The servant said, “This courier says it’s for Stubborn Five. We don’t have anyone by that na in our
house. I told him he’s got the wrong place, but he won’t leave!”
No sooner had the servant finished speaking than Mr. Horton’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he
asked,
“Who?”
“Stubborn Five!”
Mr. Horton imdiately beca excited, stepping forward to face the courier. “Yes, yes, there is such a
person in the house!”
After being kidnapped and returned ho, Lewis would run to the front gate every day to wait for his
mail.
Later, when he was about to go abroad, he repeatedly instructed if anyone sent him a letter, they must
rember to tell him.
Even after going abroad, he would still call every three or five days to ask if anyone had sent him a
letter…
He only stopped in the past couple of years.
He imdiately took the package from the courier and looked at the driver. “Make another trip. Take it
to
Lewis!”
He thought of Lewis’s previous instructions and said, “Make sure to hand it to him personally!”
The courier thought of his boss’s request to deliver the package directly to the recipient, and
imdiately added, “I’ll go with you!”
