Keiraā€™s mouth corner twitched.

Her gaze returned to Mrs. Olsenā€¦ She thought of Uncle Olsenā€™s protection of her, and the madness that seemed ready to create a bloodbath in the hospital for her sake.

She couldnā€™t help but wonder if there was something between Mrs. Olsen and

Uncle Olsen.

Should she go see Uncle Olsen then?

Keira hesitated.

isla would meet someone without any hesitation. She harbored the intention to curry favor, wanting to let Jake know about her connections, but Keira didnā€™t need any of that.

From Taylor and Uncle Olsenā€™s conversation, it was obvious Mrs. Olsen didnā€™t want to see Uncle Olsen, so as Mrs. Olsenā€™s daughter, Keira should certainly side with her mother!

With this thought, Keira replied to the message. ā€œIā€™m sorry. Iā€™ll go if my mom

agrees.ā€

When she sent this message, she didnā€™t know why, but there was an inexplicable feeling of happiness in her heart.

When she was little, other people would always say ā€œMy mom wonā€™t let me do this and thatā€, and later there was even a popular phrase online that went ā€œMy mom wonā€™t let me play with idiots.ā€

But every time she saw those words, she would pause slightly.

Because her ā€œmomā€ would only tell her not to defy Miss Islaā€™s orders and not to do well on tests. She never truly cared for Keiraā€™s welfare.

But now, she also had a loving mother.

A glimmer appeared in Keiraā€™s eyes. She walked to Mrs. Olsenā€™s bedside again and took her other hand. Even though the word was hard to say, she still said

ā€œMomā€¦ā€

Right after it was spoken, Mrs. Olsen, who had remained motionless on the bed, moved her eyes slightly.

Keira seemed to sense something, and just as she was about to look at her

mother, her phone suddenly rang.

Keira glanced at the caller ID, took another look at Mrs. Olsen, then walked to the side to take the call.

She didnā€™t see that when she let go of Mrs. Olsenā€™s hand, Mrs. Olsenā€™s fingers also moved slightly.

Keira stepped out to answer the call, and a voice came from the other end. ā€œOh, my dear Researcher Nora, our Alzheimerā€™s project has reached the final stage, and the research institute in Clance has also begun the clinical trial phase, with many people signing up. Since you are in Crera, could you possibly take charge of the scientific data in Clance?ā€

Keira said indifferently, ā€œDidnā€™t we agree that Iā€™m only responsible for the research and not the subsequent management?ā€

ā€œThereā€™s no helping it. Crera is a country of personal relationships. As soon as we put out our project, many people tried to get a trial spot through connections. But we have limited initial funding, and the medicine is only enough for 50 people, so it has to be managed by you, our unbiased researcher!ā€

Keira reflected for a moment. ā€œThen I wonā€™t take anyoneā€™s connections into consideration, and Iā€™ll only select suitable subjects for the experiment.ā€

ā€œNo problem.ā€

The person on the other end laughed. ā€œIn Crera, probably only your status can intimidate those administrators. Iā€™m truly desperate to have come to you for this.ā€

ā€œUnderstood.ā€

Keira then said, ā€œBy the way, I have a very important person in Oceanion who probably canā€™t wait until the end of the drug trial. Arrange for someone from Clance to come over in person.ā€

ā€œNo problem at all,ā€ the other person laughed. ā€œIā€™m also very curious about who the person that made you suddenly pick up this long-stalled project must be?ā€

Keira lowered her gaze. ā€œItā€™s my husbandā€™s grandmother.ā€

ā€œOK, got it!ā€

Keira hung up, the corners of her lips curling up into a faint smile.

Keira hadnā€™t expected the progression of Alzheimerā€™s drugs to be faster than she imagined. Now that her grandmotherā€™s condition was still good, applying the medication should mean she might be able to recall past memories after a while.

Then, they would be able to clear up the mystery of why she and Lewis were married in the first place!

Of course, Keira wasnā€™t doing all this for the old Mrs. Horton just because she wanted to know the answer, but because during her most painful and helpless moments, Mrs. Horton had given her the warmth of a family.

Thinking back to the warm moments she had spent with old Mrs. Horton in that small two-bedroom apartment, Keira was moved

Then, she looked toward Mrs. Olsen.

ā€œMom, you have to wake up soon and make up for over twenty years weā€™ve

missed.ā€

Just as she thought about this, Lewisā€™s phone began to ring.

Keira assumed he was busy with company matters and didnā€™t mind, but then she heard Lewisā€™s voice, deep and panicked. ā€œWhat? Grandma fainted? Iā€™ll come back right away!ā€

After hanging up, he glanced at Keira.

Keira glanced at Mrs. Olsen, and without hesitation, she walked up to him. ā€œIā€™ll go back with you.ā€

She had been insistent on staying by Mrs. Olsenā€™s side because it was clear Mrs. Olsen had something to tell her before she fainted, so Keira wanted Mrs. Olsen to see her as soon as she woke up.

Now that she knew what Mrs. Olsen wanted to say, and since Mrs. Olsen wouldnā€™t wake up anytime soon, she decided to go back to the Horton family with Lewis to see how Grandma was.

Down in the parking garage.

Ellis stared at his phone for a long while, rubbing his eyes and thinking he must have read it wrong.

Uncle Olsen was someone those Clance elitists would die to ingratiate themselves with ā€“ even Isla and Jake had wanted to make sure they treated him well after seeing him.

Even just now, when Jake left, heā€™d come over to say goodbye and mentioned they had prepared a place for them to stay.

But what was this response from Keira?

She would listen to her mother?

He pursed his lips, and even the veins in his forehead throbbed!

Did Keira even realize what she was doing?

Even if she wasnā€™t an illegitimate daughter, she was just a daughter from a second-tier wealthy family and certainly wasnā€™t good enough for Lewis. If Uncle Olsen cared for her so much, she just had to say a few kind words, and if Uncle Olsen recognized her as his goddaughter, everything would naturally fall into place!

That Keira really didnā€™t know what was good for her!

All of Ellisā€™s subtle movements were witnessed by Uncle Olsen, who asked, ā€œWhatā€™s wrong?ā€

Ellis pulled a face and handed him the phone.

After seeing the response, Uncle Olsen didnā€™t get angry but instead laughed. ā€œThis Keira has indeed inherited Miss Jodieā€™s spirit!

He hadnā€™t really favored Isla, finding her behavior too petty, not at all like Miss Jodie.

Unexpectedly, Keira hadnā€™t only the same aura as Miss Jodie but even a similar personality!

A look of admiration flashed across Uncle Olsenā€™s eyes.

He was about to get back into the car when he suddenly saw Lewis and a girl running out from the hospital buildingā€™s entrance in a hurry!

Uncle Olsenā€™s steps faltered slightly, and his gaze fell on the girl!
