71 Open Your Eyes

Having heard their dialogue, old Mrs. Horton also realized something. “Granddaughter-in-law, the person you said you visited today, is it the younger sister of the Allen family?”

After Keira came back from the police station, she made a visit to Rebecca and came back only after seeing that she had finished her rehabilitation training.

She gave a simple explanation to old Mrs. Horton, and surprisingly the old lady remembered it.

Looking at Mrs. Horton, Keira found her health hadn’t declined recently. Instead, it seemed to have improved

somewhat.

The medicine had to be developed soon. It would be best if it could help the old lady remember the truth about her marriage to Lewis

Lewis, who was listening to their conversation, raised the corner of his lips, and a mocking look flashed in his

eyes.

It turned out that Frankie had mistaken someone else

for her.

He suddenly spoke up, “Miss Olsen, the day after tomorrow, there’s a celebration banquet for the collaboration between Horton Group and the Allen family. I’m still missing a female companion. Are you interested?”

Keira didn’t raise her head. “No.”

Lewis choked for a moment, his deep eyes flickering. “Didn’t Miss Olsen say that she wanted to introduce the two families?”

Only then did Keira look at him, her amorous eyes twinkling, and she reluctantly agreed, “Alright.”

Old Mrs. Horton looked surprised. “Are you willing to reconcile with the Allen family, you brat?”

Lewis responded vaguely before changing the topic. “What did you eat for lunch today?”

“I had rice, chicken soup, and celery…”

Tom, sitting next to them, couldn’t help but glance at

his boss.

The boss had never shown a bit of intention to reconcile with his mother, whom he had never met.

71 Open Your Eyes

This time, he made it a point to keep everything professional, and thus the news of his disagreement with Frankie spread. But in fact, during this collaboration, Frankie had extended his goodwill multiple times, and the boss had never reciprocated, making it clear that he didn’t want to have any relations beyond business with them.

So, was his proposal just to make Keira his companion for the party?

Tom showed a thoughtful expression.

After dinner, Keira wanted to take her dog for a walk.

She put the leash on the puppy and walked out the

door.

Tom was going downstairs to get some files, so he took

the elevator with her.

As they walked side by side, Tom suddenly smiled and asked, “Miss Olsen, what sort of man do you like?”

Although Miss Olsen had a boyfriend who was anxious to get married, as long as they weren’t married, the boss still had a chance!

Tom had to help his boss find out, so it would be

3/9

71 Open Your Eyes

easier for him to snatch her away from her boyfriend!

Upon hearing his words, Keira seemed slightly taken

aback.

Having watched Poppy, who was love-struck, refuse to leave the Olsen family since childhood, she was somewhat repulsed by the idea of love and marriage. That was why she chose to reject the pursuits of boys.

She was afraid that after falling in love, she would lose

herself.

She had never thought about what her future partner might look like…

But when Tom asked that question, the handsome face of Lewis was the first thing that came to her mind.

Without thinking, she answered, “Handsome, about six feet tall, seventy-five kilograms in weight, with a deep and attractive voice, thoughtful, and particularly good at scolding people…”

Tom’s eyes grew brighter as he listened. She might as well have just said his boss’s name!

Did Miss Olsen and the boss have mutual feelings for

each other?

Noticing the expression on his face, Keira suddenly realized what she had said. Changing the direction of the conversation, she hastily added, “…amiable and warm, good at telling jokes, a kind man!”

Tom was dumbfounded.

A warm, gentle man? That had nothing to do with his boss at all, right?

He had always been known for being cold with a gloomy face.

Seeing the change in his expression, Keira finally breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly flushed. Annoyed at the slow pace of the puppy, she bent down to pick it up and descended the stairs quickly.

Tom sighed, feeling that Lewis had no hope.

He turned around to go back to the ward but fro

when he saw Lewis standing behind him.

The corridor lights were somewhat dim, and half of man’s face was in shadow, making him look rather lonely.

Apparently, he had heard all of the conversation

between Tom and Keira!

Tom cleared his throat and innocently scratched his

head. “Well, Boss, you could try smiling more at Miss

Olsen…”

“… You talk too much.”

Lewis scolded as he passed Tom, descending the stairs quickly.

It was already dark outside. Under the streetlight, Keira was crouching and caressing the dog.

She bent her head, looking at the puppy. Her usual sharpness was gone, replaced by a touch of tenderness.

Lewis slowly walked over to her.

Feeling his shadow, she raised her head.

The moment she looked his way, Lewis moved the corner of his mouth, raising a smile he believed was

gentle.

However, Keira got up and looked at him warily. “Mr. Horton, is your mouth twitching?”

Lewis was speechless.

Slowly withdrawing his smile, he saw her obviously

relieved expression. He was rather embarrassed. He took a deep breath and said, “Grandma asked me to accompany you to walk the dog.”

“Okay.”

The clumsy puppy ran toward the park, with them closely following behind.

A cold wind blew, and Keira shivered.

The temperature had dropped sharply that day, and she wasn’t prepared for it.

Just as she was rubbing her arms and thinking about returning to the room soon, a large warm coat was suddenly placed on her shoulders.

Keira stiffened. She slowly turned her head to see Lewis standing there, wearing a shirt. His gaze was fixed elsewhere, looking somewhat awkward.

Keira smiled. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Lewis said indifferently. “I’m mainly afraid that if you catch a cold, you’ll infect Grandma.”

Keira couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

She thought this man was really tough.

they stood there awkwardly, a voice suddenly

came. “Mr. Horton?”

When Keira turned her head, she saw Frankie standing

in the park, looking gloomy at her sight.

Keira was perplexed.

Lewis stepped forward, blocking Keira. “What’s the matter?”

“Can we talk in private?”

Frankie took another long look at Keira and walked to

the side.

He didn’t look too happy.

Just after returning to the ward, he heard that his sister was quite concerned about the first time she asked for help and was told by a passerby that an infatuated woman should die.

Even during the surgery, his sister had lost the will to

live because of this!

He was very angry!

When Lewis came over, Frankie asked with a frown, “What’s your relationship with this Miss Olsen?”

Lewis coldly replied, “Mr. Allen, this has nothing to do

with you.”

Frankie took a deep breath, “Anyway, you’re my aunt’s son. Seeing that you and her seem to be more than casual acquaintances, I felt I should remind you to keep your eyes open. This woman is not a good person!”

“There’s no relation between our two families. Mr. Allen, you don’t need to worry about me.”

The tone of Lewis’s voice had grown even colder as he said, word by word, “Moreover, I think the one who should keep their eyes open should be you.”

Frankie paused, “What do you mean?”

Lewis didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Frankie frowned and said, “Lewis, how could you be so ungrateful? You….”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lewis abruptly halted and whipped his head around.

His gaze revealed a glimmer of sullen anger. His expression was dark and terrifying, like a fiend

crawling out from hell, making Frankie choke on his

words.

Lewis stared at him, his voice low yet ominous in the evening air. “Mr. Allen, our relationship is purely business. You’ve crossed the line.”
