Lewis frowned as he looked at the person in front of
him.
She was sneaky, dressed in a woolen sweater that
oncealed her figure.
ut he felt at a glance that she was very familiar… very
much like Keira!
Lewis stared blankly at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowing, and he asked slowly, “Keira? Is that you?”
Keira’s eyelashes trembled, and suddenly she said, “It’s
.”
Lewis froze completely.
In disbelief, he stared at the person in front of him… only to see Keira lower her head, timidly saying,
“Who are you? How do you know my na is Keera?”
As she spoke, she tried hard to imitate her sister’s gentle tone.
Lewis paused. “…What?”
Keira then looked at him. Her face was still bruised,
and the iodine wasn’t cleaned off properly, making the skin that was exposed very yellow.
Wearing a hat and a mask, not even her biological mother would recognize her
Keira continued timidly, “I, I was Keira’s high school classmate, and everyone calls Keera. I heard
the tragic news about Keira, so I ca to visit Mrs. Olsen.
u Keira’s friend too?”
ing these words, Lewis looked sowhat dejected nd even scoffed at himself with a mocking smile.
He clenched his fists tightly.
He felt he was utterly ridiculous.
He didn’t understand why, even though the body that had been retrieved was unrecognizable, and DNA
analysis had confird it was Keira.
He just didn’t believe it and personally oversaw the comparisons again and again…
But each ti, it was Keira.
Even with the evidence in front of him, he still couldn’t accept that Keira had drowned…
Even just now, when he saw that woman, he thought she was Keira…
But his Keira was always a carefree, spirited woman. How could she possibly be sneaky and
subservient?
What on earth had he been thinking a mont ago?
Lewis lowered his gaze, answering her earlier question,
“I’m her… husband.”
His voice choked slightly on the last two words.
A pang of pain went through Keira’s heart as she looked at his face, which had beco gaunt enough
that the cheekbones were protruding after only two days. Her eyes suddenly welling up with tears, and
she hastily turned her head, “Condolences.”
Lewis didn’t pay her any more attention.
Keira thought for a mont, went straight to the bedside, and looked at the dical record beside it.
Acute stress… excessive mourning… but no
life-threatening danger.
Keira breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned close to Mrs. Olsen and whispered in a
volu only the two of them could hear. “Mom, I’m not dead. You have to take good care of yourself
and get well. I’ll co to see you another day.”
Keira knew that if she stayed any longer, Lewis might start to suspect sothing.
She stood up and was ready to leave, not noticing that Mrs. Olsen’s fingers twitched.
After Keira left, Lewis stayed there for a while, and before long, Taylor ca back.
This ti Taylor looked much better than the last ti Mrs. Olsen fainted; he seed very normal,
without the previous dejection.
Lewis advised, “Take good care of yourself so you can take care of my mother-in-law.”
Taylor nodded. “Don’t worry, I know. There’s no one else at ho now. I’ll definitely stay strong.”
Lewis didn’t say anything more, he lowered his gaze and said, “I’ll help arrange for the best doctors to
co for a consultation, and the people from Clance should
arrive tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After Lewis left, Mrs. Olsen suddenly opened her eyes. She propped herself up with both hands and
shouted,
“Keira!”
Taylor imdiately approached her and took her hand. “Shirley, you’re awake? How are you feeling?”
But Mrs. Olsen struggled to look around. “Where’s Keira? I heard her voice, where is she?!”
T
d…”
Shirley, you heard wrong… Keira was
ay…
seed that only then did Mrs. Olsen rember what had happened before she fainted. When she
saw the ocean swaying precariously, she knew Keira had no hope of survival.
After that swollen body was recovered from the water, she had fainted at just one glance.
Mrs. Olsen clenched her fists tightly, tears streaming down!
She looked at Taylor. “No, Keira isn’t dead! I’m going to find her!”
She threw off the covers to get out of bed but
suddenly her legs gave way, and she collapsed.
Fortunately, Taylor caught her in ti. “Shirley, calm down. If Keira were still here, she definitely
wouldn’t want to see you like this!”
Mrs. Olsen cried out, “I can’t calm down! I have to find
Keira!”
Taylor ed deeply, holding Mrs. Olsen tightly, gently
ack,
P
Olsen still cried. “My Keira, she isn’t dead! She
ely isn’t dead! She was just talking in my ear. She d she was still alive!!”
Taylor continued to gently stroke her back, soothing her emotions. “Okay, she’s not dead, Shirley, she’s
not
dead, don’t worry…”
Mrs. Olsen gradually cald down.
She said, “Taylor, Keira really was just here. I heard her talk to , and that’s why I woke up…”
Taylor gave a wry smile. “Shirley, aside from Mr. Horton, no one was in the room just now…”
Mrs. Olsen was stunned. “Is, is that so?”
Taylor nodded. “Yes, that’s right!”
Mrs. Olsen imdiately beca disconsolate.
She murmured to herself, “How could this be… I clearly heard her… I really did hear her. Taylor,
where’s my phone? I’m going to call Lewis and ask if anyone ca
in!”
Taylor tried to stop her. “Shirley, Mr. Horton is already
so can we not make a fuss, please?”
Ve
Olsen shook her head. “I’m not making a fuss!
Keira really ca! She was speaking into my
I heard her…”
She gripped Taylor’s hand tightly. “We don’t have to find Mr. Horton. Just help check the
surveillance, soone definitely ca in, and it was Keira!”
Seeing her insistence, Taylor sighed silently but reassured her. “Okay, I’ll go and check for you… Can-
you calm down for now?”
Only then did Mrs. Olsen nod. “Okay.”
Taylor pressed the call button and summoned a nurse, asking her to help retrieve the surveillance
footage for
this ward.
The nurse quickly went to security and sent the past half hour of surveillance footage to Taylor’s phone.
There definitely wouldn’t be any inside the room, only
in the corridor outside.
But for Mrs. Olsen, that was enough.
Taylor opened the footage from half an hour before,
sped it
tog
handed it to Mrs. Olsen. They watched
co, and Taylor had stepped out to get
lor said, “Shirley, do you see? I was only gone for a it, and Mr. Horton was here with you. It was
impossible for soone to have co…”
But almost as soon as he finished speaking, they saw a girl wearing a cap and a mask sneaking into
the ward!
Mrs. Olsen’s eyes welled up with tears. “Keira, it’s
Keira!”
