The room instantly fell silent.

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at Tom, then at Jake.

Jake looked dumbfounded.

Was this ward arranged by his uncle?

Poppy was also stunned, but quickly regained her composure and laughed, “Mr. Jake, I didn’t know you asked Mr. Horton to give us this room…”

Jake’s expression froze.

However, Tom smiled. “Miss Olsen asked Mr. Horton for this room. Mr. Jake, did you also go to Mr. Horton?”

Jake felt like crawling into a hole in embarrassment!

He stuttered, “I made a lot of calls at that time and asked several people for help. They said they would help… It was a misunderstanding.”

Isla felt humiliated!

She clenched her fists tightly, and for the first time, she didn’t find Jake all that aloof…

The strange atmosphere was finally broken by Mrs. Olsen, who coughed a few times and said to Tom, “Please thank Mr. Horton for me. We’re very comfortable here. Once I get better, I’ll visit Old Mrs. Horton.”

Tom said, “As long as you’re comfortable here, Miss Olsen won’t be worried, and Old Mrs. Horton will be happy.”

All the businessmen could infer the implied favoritism toward Keira.

This realization made everyone in the room feel slightly uneasy.

They didn’t expect Old Mrs. Horton to favor Keira so much.

Only Mrs. Olsen was genuinely happy.

With Keira living alone outside, she had always been anxious. But since their relationship was rather delicate, she couldn’t appear to be too close to Keira. Now that Old Mrs. Horton sincerely cared for Keira, Mrs. Olsen could finally relax!

Keira was slightly surprised.

She hadn’t expected it was Lewis who had helped.

She looked at Poppy, a hint of mockery playing on her lips.

Infuriated by her expression, Poppy fumed. “Little brat, what are you proud of? Just because you have a patron doesn’t make you any better!”

“Shut up!” Taylor said angrily. “My wife needs to rest. What are you blabbering about? Get your ass back home!”

Poppy stopped talking and seemed a little hurt. “Taylor, I…”

“Leave!”

Poppy’s face flushed red. She glared resentfully at Keira before hurriedly exiting the room.

After she left, Keira turned to Mrs. Olsen. “Ma’am, how did you sleep last night?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen unconsciously gripped the small medicine bottle hidden under the blanket and said slowly, “I slept very well. It has been a long time since I’ve slept this comfortably.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Keira didn’t explain much but only nodded. “I’ll let you rest.”

“Alright.”

As Keira and Tom left the room, they saw Lewis standing in the hallway.

He was in a suit and tie, which accentuated his long legs, making him look both gentlemanly and unapproachable.

He leaned against the wall and was looking down at his phone. His black hair partially covered his sharp eyebrows and eyes. His side profile, illuminated by the light, appeared defined and cold.

Upon hearing them, he turned to look. His narrow eyes brimmed with icy depth. He said, “Grandmother insisted that I come to check up on you.” Despite his indifferent tone, his deep voice warmed Keira Olsen’s heart.

She smiled sincerely. “Thank you.”

Her amorous eyes were clear and dazzling, filled with innocence and an unintentional charm.

The smile on her lips was even more breathtaking, momentarily dazzling Lewis.

At this time, Jake’s voice came from inside.

“Auntie, since you’re okay, I’ll let you rest.”

“Sure. Isla, see Jake out.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The door opened, and Jake and Isla came out.

They instantly noticed Lewis and Keira.

Isla felt as if an enemy was approaching. Her gaze darted between the two as if trying to figure out their relationship.

Jake’s face darkened too. He subconsciously asked, “Uncle, what are you doing here?” h

Lewis said meaningfully, “I don’t think I need to report my whereabouts to you.”

Such an indifferent reply seemed to bring an invisible pressure.

Jake’s palms immediately started to sweat. “That’s not what I meant.”

He took a deep breath and looked at Keira.

The girl s face had a kind of unabashed beauty.

Mr. Horton was also a good-looking man.

When the two stood together, they were like a match made in heaven!

A strong sense of jealousy overwhelmed Jake, and he couldn’t help but speak again, “Miss Olsen, you’ve been looking after my great-grandmother in the hospital all this time. Doesn’t your husband mind?”

Keira was taken aback.

She subconsciously glanced at Mr. Horton, and said with a smirk, “He probably doesn’t mind.”

Jake’s expression changed drastically.

Before he could say anything, Lewis suddenly spoke, “Are you coming back to the ward? Grandma is waiting for you.”

Coming back…

Keira hesitated slightly.

It had been a long time since she had heard that expression.

Because she had no home to come back to.

Looking down, she smiled faintly. “Let’s go.”

The two left together.

Jake’s gaze was dark as he stared at Keira from behind.

For a moment, he felt an urge to take her back at all costs!!

But Isla held his arm and said, “Jake, I’ll definitely help you get Dr. South’s assistance…”

Jake seemed to regain his senses. “Alright.”

“I’ll walk you downstairs.”

“Ok.”

After he left, Isla felt a deep sense of crisis.

When she returned to the ward, she saw Mrs. Olsen getting up and moving around. Her eyes flickered.

She walked to the bed and pretended to tidy up the bedspread, before exclaiming, “Mom, why is there a bottle of medicine on your bed?”

Taylor frowned. “Isn’t this the non-warranty medicine that Keira gave you?

Shirley, why did you pick it up again!”

Mrs. Olsen explained, “I took one last night, and it seemed to work…”

“How is that possible? It was clearly the sleeping pill that worked!”

Taylor snatched the bottle and said dismissively, “Who knows where she got the medicine from? How can you just take it? Aren’t you afraid it’ll harm your health?”

Mrs. Olsen hurriedly said, “Don’t throw it away. I won’t take it tonight. I want to see which medicine works!”

Taylor said reluctantly. “Alright.”

Soon, it was night.

Aunt South held the sleeping pill in her hand, looking as if she was holding a magic panacea. After seeing Mrs. Olsen take it, she turned off the light and quietly left the room.

The room quieted down.

Half an hour later, there was still no sound inside.

Aunt South said excitedly, “Mr. Jake’s medicine is a lifesaver for Mrs. Olsen! She hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in over twenty years …”

Isla pretended to be shy. “Don’t say that. The ward wasn’t arranged by Jake, and

it was such a big embarrassment today…”

Upon hearing this, Taylor said, “Compared to the ward, this medicine is the most important! Even if Shirley were in the presidential suite, she wouldn’t be able to sleep without it. Keira went out of her way to seek Mr. Davis’s help to show off and brag. What? Are we supposed to be grateful and indebted to her?”

After that, he glanced in disgust at the bottle of medicine Keira had sent. “Aunt South, get rid of this stupid medicine. Don’t let Shirley take it again!”

As soon as he said those words, a suppressed, severe coughing sound came from the ward!
