Uncle Olsen was taken aback by these words.
He didnāt show excitement but instead took another deep drag of his cigarette before squinting his eyes. āYouāre saying, Taylor isnāt Keiraās father?ā
āCorrect.ā
Ellis nodded. āJust now, that mistress poisonously admitted it herself, and from the looks of Keira, she didnāt deny itā¦ā
He curiously looked at Uncle Olsen. āKeira isnāt your daughter, is she?ā
However, Uncle Olsen threw his cigarette on the ground, crushed it with his leather shoe, and kicked it into the ashtray nearby, before looking at him. āNo.ā Ellis was startled. āReally? I thought she might beā¦ā
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Olsen kicked him. āWouldnāt I know if Iād done such a thing?ā
Ellis jumped up and dodged the kick, looking somewhat disappointed. āFine then. I was just hoping for a cousin. Youāve really disappointed me.ā
āGet lost.ā
āAlright.ā
āCome back.ā
Ellis came back.
Uncle Olsen glared at him. āMiss Jodie has raised that fake heiress, and she surely has feelings for her.ā
Ellis was taken aback. āSo I should show some mercy?ā
Uncle Olsen glanced at him and sneered. āSo make it clean and neat. Donāt give Miss Jodie a chance to regret it. Sheās a person who values emotions, and we donāt need any more complications in the family later on!ā
It was then that Ellis smiled. āDonāt worry. Iāve carefully chosen a good place for Isla!ā
Upstairs.
Keira followed Taylor into the hospital room.
Taylor silently sat down beside Mrs. Olsenās bed, taking her hand.
Keira then looked at him. āYou heard what happened outside just now, right?ā
Taylor nodded like a robot.
This reaction made Keira unsure of how to start speaking. She paused then said, āPoppy has been arrested, and Islaās life is in danger. Do you want to see her?ā
As soon as she said this, Taylor suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing coldly and ruthlessly. āSince sheās not Shirleyās daughter, she has nothing to do with me!ā
That indifferent attitude was just like how he used to be toward Keira.
Keira was stunned.
Only then did she understand that Taylorās kindness toward Isla was truly just because of Mrs. Olsen, and it had nothing to do with whether she was his daughter or not.
She hesitated for a moment and then asked, āIā¦ youā¦ I donāt think Iām your daughter.ā
Taylor looked down, then tenderly gazed at Mrs. Olsen. āSince youāre Shirleyās daughter, then of course youāre not my daughter.ā
Keira immediately understood that her guess was probably correct.
She frowned and was about to ask another question when she heard Taylor say, āActually, Iām very grateful to you. Shirley was always out of my league. It wasnāt until you came along that Shirley was willing to marry meā¦ā
He lowered his head, placing Mrs. Olsenās hand on his cheek. āBeing able to marry Shirley has been the greatest happiness of my life. As for Poppy, she wasnāt someone I had an affair with during my marriage. She was a debt from before Shirley and I were together. I was drinking away my sorrows over Shirley, and Poppy took advantage of meā¦ā
He explained up to that point, then closed his mouth, looking earnestly at Mrs. Olsen. āShirley, please wake up. Your favorite, Keira, is your daughter. Donāt you want to acknowledge her?ā
Keira also looked toward Mrs. Olsen.
She was still lying there with her eyes closed and breathing steadily, her complexion rosy as if she were asleep.
Keira eagerly awaited Mrs. Olsenās awakening so that she could ask who her real father was and what secrets were buried in her pastā¦
She walked to the other side of the bed and took Mrs. Olsenās hand.
Her mouth opened as if she wanted to shout āMom,ā but she couldnāt bring herself to say it.
Just then, the sound of an ambulance suddenly came from downstairs.
Keira paid no attention to it.
This was a hospital after all; it was normal for ambulances to bring patients here.
Mrs. Olsenās room had finally become completely quiet.
Awhile later, two doctors accompanied by a nurse came for their rounds.
They checked Mrs. Olsenās condition, and everything was still normal.
As they were about to leave, they exchanged idle chatter.
āIāve really learned something new today. An ambulance drove someone to our hospital, and it was hilarious! I heard that the person had just left the operating room and was then taken awayā¦ā
āA mental patient, right? I heard it was crazy! They can get violent when they have an episode. They didnāt even warn us in advance. What if she suddenly woke up and attacked us?ā
Upon hearing this, Keira didnāt think much of it.
But then, she heard a nurse gossiping.
āYou all got it wrong. I have the latest news! Apparently, that woman escaped from the mental hospital, and then somehow got pregnant. After a miscarriage, she had a fit that led to severe hemorrhaging, and they had to remove her uterus to save her life! Our hospital might be a general hospital, but such a patient definitely needs to be treated in a psychiatric hospital.ā āWow, thatās explosive! A mental patient got pregnant? Whose child could it be?ā
āWho knowsā¦ā
They continued their conversation as they walked further away.
Feeling something was off, Keira immediately turned her head to make eye contact with Lewis, and together they quickly went to the window, only to see an ambulance from the psychiatric hospital parked below.
At that moment, several medical staff were carrying a stretcher toward the ambulance.
Even from three floors up, Keira recognized at a glance that the person on the stretcher was Isla!!
She was slightly stunned and instinctively looked at Lewis. āDid you do this?ā
Lewis frowned and shook his head. āNo.ā
Keira had no intention of dealing with Isla. After all, she was the child Mrs. Olsen had raised and spoiled from a young age. She had intended to wait for Mrs. Olsen to wake up and ask for her opinion before doing anything.
But she hadnāt expected this turn of events.
Isla had spent her whole life wanting to marry into a wealthy family, and now she had fallen into this state. She would definitely continue to entangle herself with the Olsen family.
Sending her to a mental hospital really was the best choice.
Once admitted, of course, she definitely couldnāt get out.
If that wasnāt Lewisās arrangement, then it must beā¦
Keira instinctively glanced toward the parking lot and saw that low-key luxurious black car still parked there.
A tall, upright man sat inside, his face unrecognizable.
Ellis stood outside the car waving at Keira and pointing to his phone.
Keira took out her own phone and saw a message from Ellis. āAre you satisfied with my arrangements for Isla?ā
Keira looked at Lewis.
She suddenly understood that if Lewis hadnāt been holding back Uncle Olsen all this time, she might have been the one being put into the ambulanceā¦
As she was thinking, her phone buzzed again. Ellis had sent another message. āAlso, could you come down for a moment? Uncle Olsen has an apology heād like to offer you in person.ā
Keira didnāt know what to say..
