Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon seeing the chat ssages on the WhatsApp screen, Mrs. Olsen was surprised, and her eyes widened in astonishnt.
Aunt South didn’t quite understand and hurriedly stepped forward to vocalize er concern, Mrs. Olsen, isn’t Dr. South supposed to co? Miss Keira has had so conflicts with Dr. South. It may not be suitable for them to et, right?” The implication was that Keira should leave right away.
Aunt South had devoted all her attention to Mrs. Olsen over the years She saw that Mrs. Olsen missed her but Keira never ca ho, which made Aunt South feel that Keira ca across as cold-hearted and didn’t deserve Mrs Olsen’s affection for her.
As such, her tone was quite rude.
But as soon as these words left her mouth, Mrs. Olsen grabbed her wrist. “Aunt South, Keira is Dr. South!”
Aunt South was taken aback. “What?”
She looked at Keira in surprise, her initial objections and dislikes pulverized in an instant!
Isla glared angrily at Keira, believing the latter had co to show off!
Fearing that her mother would delve into the matter too deeply, she turned to run upstairs.
Mrs. Olsen noticed her actions, frowned slightly, then lightly tapped Keira’s shoulder and complained. “My child, have done so much for this family behind my back. Why are you hiding this from ?”
Keira had a smile on her face, but her nose was tingling. “I’m sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing? You’ve always been smart, but I didn’t expect you to achieve this much in your professional field,” said Mrs. Olsen as she took Keira’s hand and led her toward the sofa. “Keira, tell , what exactly happened with the theft of the plan incident? Was it Isla who frad you?” Keira helped her sit on the sofa and played down the situation. “It’s just a misunderstanding.”
Mrs. Olsen’s health wasn’t good, so she hadn’t been managing the company and house affairs for years. She was upright and generous, teaching her children to always act with a clear conscience.
If she knew that her own daughter had set soone up, she would definitely be heartbroken, which would eventually harm her body.
Keira didn’t want to disturb her and gently changed the subject. “I ca here today because I want you to help with sothing.”
Mrs. Olsen imdiately asked, “What is it?”
Keira contemplated for a mont, “I…I have a friend who received so information. In the near future, the price of a stock is going to rise. She wanted to invest in it. However, my company is about to go public, and I don’t have enough liquid assets…”
Mrs. Olsen understood and cut her off. “How much do you need?”
Having kept a close eye on the Olsens’ assets, Keira was well aware of what the company and the family had at their disposal. She carefully cited a figure “Fifteen million.”
Assessing Isla’s situation, if she borrowed most of the Olsen family’s money,
Isla wouldn’t be able to gather the five million for Finley Hill.
Mrs. Olsen thought for a mont and said, ”1 have a total of seventeen million thirty thousand, in the house and at the company. How about I lend you seventeen million, will that be enough?”
Warmth flickered in Keira’s heart. “Yes.”
She hoped that the secret between Isla and Finley Hill would not affect Mrs Olsen.
In this way, out of respect for Mrs. Olsen, she might consider helping cover for Isla.
But if Isla hurt Mrs. Olsen, Keira would act ruthlessly!
After leaving the house, Samuel dropped her off at the hospital.
At that mont, a luxury car parked in the parking lot.
Lewis got out of the Bentley, and his sleek black suit accentuated his slender figure, intensifying his inherently remarkable face’s compelling allure.
Tom saw Keira and hastily greeted her with a kicked-up level of respect “Miss Olsen, you are back!”
Lewis instinctively looked up. Keira usually had such a defiant look, but she was deep in thought with a hint of lancholy on her face.
Upon hearing Tom’s voice, she turned to look at him, stalling her steps as if waiting for them.
Lewis stepped up instinctively to join her, and they walked side by side.
He glanced at her unchanged expression, seemingly contemplating sothing and initiated a casual conversation. “Miss Olsen, are you upset because of your ’ mother?”
Keira looked at him, “Hmm?”
Lewis looked straight ahead, his deep voice gradually lowering as he said, “In truth, so familial bonds don’t need to be forced. So people aren’t fit to be mothers. It’s perfectly okay that you treat them as strangers.”
Keira opened her mouth, wanting to say that she wasn’t upset about this, but seeing the usually inarticulate man looking serious, she paused montarily. There was a tree-lined pathway from the parking lot to the inpatient departnt; sunshine filtered through the leaves, speckling his profile and adding a touch of loneliness to his handso face.
He had just said “them”…
Rembering old Mrs. Horton’s garrulousness, Keira realized that the old lady never ntioned Lewis’s mother… Did that an they shared the sa misfortune?
Suddenly, Keira gave him a big smile, “You’re right.”
Her laughter was infectious as if all her worries dissipated with her smile, which lifted Lewis’s mood as well.
He awkwardly shifted his gaze and changed the subject, “Don’t worry I’ve already instructed the R&D departnt not to reveal your identity.” ’ Keira’s eyes lit up gently. “Thank you.”
She wasn’t ready to reveal her identity to avoid unnecessary disturbances from the industry.
Lewis replied indifferently, “You’re welco.”
Keira suddenly rembered sothing. “You said earlier today that you had so news about Samuel to tell . What is it?”
Upon hearing this, Lewis’s expression tensed slightly.
Tom, who was trailing the two, couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, feeling embarrassed.
Originally, he thought Samuel was Keira’s boyfriend, so the boss wanted to warn her that Samuel was a womanizer. But to his surprise, Samuel was actually working for Keira! How could he convey this now?
While Tom was thinking, he heard Lewis casually say, “Well, I think Samuel is indeed a steady, hard-working, and reliable asset. He’s a great employee.” Tom twitched at the corner of his mouth.
On the other hand, Keira was confused.
Why did that sound so familiar?
As she was about to ask further, Lewis’s phone rang. He breathed a sigh of relief. He quickened his pace to put so distance between them and then answered the call. Whatever was said at the other end quickly darkened his face.
Seeing this, Tom whispered, “It must be regarding the collaboration with the Allen family again. I don’t know what got into Frankie Allen. He suddenly pulled Jake Horton into the project and insisted on discussing the details of future cooperation with Jake…”
Upon saying this, he couldn’t help adding, “Originally, you made Jake lose face today, but now he’s back on his feet and is even more arrogant than before. I have no idea how he got involved with the Allen family…”
While talking, the three of them entered the inpatient departnt.
Keira was about to go to the third floor when a familiar figure caught her eye. Rebecca Allen and a middle-aged couple were sitting in the lobby, seemingly waiting for soone.. When they saw her, they stood upright, eyes gleaming with recognition, and Rebecca called out, “My life-saver!”
