Chapter 239: Chapter 239

Samuel’s tone was ominous. “If you can’t give me a definite answer today, this matter won’t end! Don’tthink your Horton Group can just bully people as you please!”

Tom said helplessly, “That was when they were kids. My boss didn’t tell me the details. I guessed itfrom what Miss Davis usually says.”

Samuel kept cursing. “An incident from childhood is even more ridiculous, right? Can you confirm thatMiss 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, weconducted a lie detector test on her and could confirm she wasn’t

lying.”

“Is that Miss Davis really mentally ill?”

“Yes, we’ve consulted many experts both domestically and abroad; she has severe claustrophobia andautism. 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 hermedical treatment, 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? Ifshe could just slip up, I could persuade my boss to give her up. But she hasn’t, and the only excessivething she did in all these years was during that birthday banquet, pretending to be Mrs. Horton for amoment, but later she gave a reasonable explanation, saying it was because everyone just assumedshe was, and she feared denying it would cause trouble for my boss. Since then, she’s been stayingquietly in the psychiatric hospital…”

Hearing this, Samuel felt it was ridiculous. “Is she so innocent? What should we do then? It’s not likeevery time she tries to kill herself, Lewis should go watch over her, right? Then what’s the point of myboss’s marriage?”

Tom gave a wry smile. “I guess that’s why my boss decisively chose Miss Olsen and gave up on MissDavis previously. But after all, she saved his life once. Can he really just watch her die?”

Samuel was silent for a moment.

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 moment.

Keira, with her eyes downcast, said, “The public opinion that has come up is a bit baffling. You two gofind out what’s happening.”

Tom immediately 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 immediately nodded. “I will.”

Samuel sneered. “The trending topic may have been suppressed, but now someone is broadcastinglive 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 securityguards 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 calmeddown.

And so, Lewis was freed.

The journalist, unable to get close to Lewis for an interview, stood in front of the camera and began.“The only redemption in her life is him, yet Mr. Horton has cruelly given up on her – how is this differentfrom sending someone 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 seemed on the verge ofbeing

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 reallyare not coming to accompany her any further, then there is no need for further rescue because she’lldefinitely attempt suicide a second time… Even if we can

monitor her at all times, 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 moment 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 something when he heard Keira.

“Let’s get a divorce.”

Keira’s voice was very faint.

At the same time, the courier had driven for six hours

and finally arrived at 76 Glow Village.

The more he drove, the more alarmed he became.

Because No. 76 wasn’t just any small village house. This imposing big tile-roofed house stretcheddown an

entire street!

It was clearly a grand family estate, the ancestral home

here.

entrance and then knocked on the door.

Someone came to open the door.

The courier asked, “Excuse me, is there someone

called ‘Stubborn Five’ here?”

The servant immediately frowned. “What Stubborn Five? Never heard of that name! 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 argument at the entrance and was slightlytaken aback. He came 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 name in ourhouse. 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 heasked,

“Who?”

“Stubborn Five!”

Mr. Horton immediately became excited, stepping forward to face the courier. “Yes, yes, there is such aperson in the house!”

After being kidnapped and returned home, 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

remember to tell him.

Even after going abroad, he would still call every three or five days to ask if anyone had sent him aletter…

He only stopped in the past couple of years.

He immediately took the package from the courier and looked at the driver. “Make another trip. Take itto

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, andimmediately added, “I’ll go with you!”
