181 Confrontation

Ellis looked at the photo in his hand.

Just as he was about to get a clear view, Lewis suddenly snatched the photo away from his hand and chased after Keira as she left the room.

Ellis was dumbfounded.

Watching Lewis from behind, Ellis was dumbfounded before he couldn’t help but smile. “What was that? He asks for my help and still acts so arrogantly as if I would bother with other people’s business!”

After finishing his thought, he silently sighed.

Back when he was studying abroad, he had noticed that there was something extraordinary about Lewis.

Lewis had an exceptional IQ and could grasp everything at once. After Ellis told his third uncle about it, his uncle asked him to mingle with smart people like Lewis and learn from them.

As if Lewis was better than him.

Ellis had always been unconvinced, and when he graduated from his studies abroad, his uncle even told

10:13

181 Confrontation

him that if he couldn’t become close friends, or “bros”, with Lewis, then he should consider arranging a marriage alliance.

Unfortunately, with his third uncle in charge at home, and Ellis’s father and other uncles only having sons, he had no female cousins to offer for the alliance.

So, Ellis and his uncle searched among the collateral branches and picked out two girls who were both pretty and competent. They were then adopted under Ellis’s eldest uncle’s name, hoping that Lewis would take a liking to one of them.

But when Ellis made this suggestion, Lewis outright rejected it!!

Did this damn man not take the Clance Olsen family seriously at all?

Dissatisfied, Ellis took a couple of bites of h ta when his phone vibrated.

He glanced at it and saw a WhatsApp message third uncle. “You visited Mrs. Olsen tonight. Ho

she?”

Ellis didn’t know what to say

is

181 Confrontation

He dared not say that Mrs. Olsen had fainted in front of him from anger. His uncle would scold him for being useless!

Recalling the direction in which Lewis and Keira had left, Ellis couldn’t help but put down his fork and then got up and walk toward the hospital.

Keira’s expression returned to its usual coldness, her thoughts slowly calmed down.

and

When she briskly entered the hospital, four black-clad bodyguards, handpicked for their loyalty to Lewis, were already standing at the entrance.

All four had their hands behind their backs, each

looking strong and formidable, not something ordinary security could match.

Upon seeing her, they immediately stood up straight and respectfully said, “Good evening, Mrs. Horton.”

Keira twitched the corners of her mouth and gave a light cough when she heard Lewis’s deep voice from behind her. “All four have a special forces background.

181 Confrontation

They’ll ensure that Mrs. Olsen has access to whomever

she wishes to see.”

Keira nodded and led the way.

Lewis followed half a step behind her.

The four bodyguards were surprised at this and exchanged glances.

After so many years following their boss, Lewis had always been the man at the top, the one to walk in front. When had he ever stepped aside for anyone?

This made the four of them immediately understand Keira’s significance to Lewis.

They watched Keira from behind, their eyes filled with even more respect, as they followed closely behind

Lewis.

The six of them made their way mightily to the hospital room.

Lewis had arranged for Mrs. Olsen to stay in the VIP ward, which consisted of a bedroom and a living room.

At that moment, Isla and Jake were sitting in the living room. They had ordered takeout and were having

dinner.

4/8

< 181 Confrontation

When Keira entered, Jake was anxiously looking at the bedroom. “Can my father-in-law manage without eating anything?”

Upon hearing this, Isla sighed. “Dad is too worried about Mom. I guess he won’t eat anything until Mom wakes up…”

Hearing this, Jake thought of his parents’ relationship at home, of his mother waiting anxiously every day with the hope that Dad would stay home and not go to

that other woman.

And each night that Dad stayed was a feast for Mom.

Lowering his eyes, he couldn’t help but say, “Taylor loves your mother so much…”

“Yeah,” Isla’s eyes were welled with tears. “Dad is also the most affectionate man I’ve ever seen.”

Hearing this, a sense of guilt suddenly surged in heart, and he swiftly took her hand. “Isla, don’t w I’ll learn from my father-in-law in the future.”

Perhaps moved by the sight of Taylor, or perhaps finally realizing that it was inappropriate to keep thinking about Keira, he let out a wry smile. “I was

wrong before I liked Koira for four years and couldn’t

let go for a while…”

Isla then said, “It’s okay, Jake, I don’t mind. Even a man like Dad has made mistakes. As a child, I always felt

that my parents were the most loving couple in the world. But whenever I saw Keira and her mom, I knew that there has always been an insurmountable gulf between my parents, an irreparable crack…”

At this point, Jake wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his eyes showing a hint of hatred. “Illegitimate daughters and the like are the most

abhorrent and despicable!”

Isla nodded in agreement.

As the two were talking, the door was pushed open,

and Keira walked in.

Upon seeing her, Isla immediately frowned.

Jake also abruptly stood up. Noticing Isla’s complete rejection and the budding guilt within him, he stepped in front of Isla and rebuked Keira. “Keira, what are you doing here? Haven’t you caused enough chaos for the Olsen family?!”

Isla, with reddened eyes, also cried out, “Uncle, I’m hegging you! I know you want to defend your wife, but

10:14

G/B

181 Confrontation

my mom really can’t be agitated… You all heard what the doctor just said. She had a fit of rage! She’s about to wake up. Can’t you stop bothering her?!”

Keira looked at her calmly. “I didn’t mean to disturb Mrs. Olsen. Right before she fainted, she obviously had something to tell me. If Mrs. Olsen wakes up and says even a word for me to leave, I will go right away.”

But Isla scoffed. “We don’t need to wait for my mom to wake up. She’s my mom! What I say goes. I want you to

leave now!”

Jake immediately stood in front of Isla. “That’s right, Uncle, Keira, no matter what you do today, you’re not getting through this door!”

Isla instantly looked at him appreciatively, bowing her head she said in a plaintive tone. “Jake, thank you.”

“We are husband and wife; there’s no need for such

formalities.”

At that moment, Jake felt full of power in his chest, lik

he was a real man.

Keira, unaccustomed to indulging them, immediately

waved her hand.

At the door of the hospital room stood two black-clad bodyguards, blocking Isla and Jake from entering.

Inside, Taylor’s eyes glinted as he saw her and Lewis come in, but he said little. He merely held Mrs. Olsen’s hand and turned his head to gaze at Keira, sitting there in a daze.

In the mere three hours since Mrs. Olsen’s incident, Taylor had aged a decade.

His eyes were filled with the weight of the world.

182 Wake Up

What was she thinking at the moment she saw the photo and heard Mr. Allen call the woman in it Lady South, to ignore that and look for Mrs. Olsen?

She felt ridiculous.

At that moment, Lewis approached her and, taking her hand, asked, “Should the room be cleared?”

His gaze toward Taylor was unfriendly.

Anyone who was unkind to Keira, Lewis now regarded with disdain.

Hearing this, Keira tensed her jaw. She looked at the tightly clasped hands of Taylor and Mrs. Olsen and couldn’t bring herself to separate them.

She lowered her eyes. “Let it be.”

As long as Mrs. Olsen could see her when she woke and hear the words she wanted to say before passin out, that would be enough.

Lewis nodded in agreement.

Then came Jake’s struggling cries from outside the door.

Keira didn’t move but sat down on the other side of

29

182 Wake Up

Mrs. Olsen’s bed instead.

Seeing this, Lewis gave Taylor another look.

He seemed like a zombie, his decadence and worry impossible to fake.

Realizing he posed no danger to Keira, Lewis then stepped out of the room.

He was met with the sight of Jake being held aloft by a burly man in black, kicking and screaming. “Let go of me! I’m also a member of the Horton family! You all are bodyguards hired by the Hortons, and you must obey my commands!”

The bodyguard almost rolled his eyes hearing this.

As if the Horton family could afford them?

In choosing whom to protect, they also consider overall strength.

Did the Horton family’s dirty money make them

reverent?

The man in black showed no intention of letting Jake go. However, with a faint raise of his hand from Lewis, the bodyguard finally put Jake down.

10:14

3/9

182 Wake Up

Jake was beside himself with fury, stomping madly.

Isla also felt enraged.

Just then, Ellis’s angry rebuke came from the door, “Lewis, what the hell are you doing?!”

Isla’s eyes immediately reddened, “Mr. Olsen, Uncle and Keira have taken control of the room and won’t let

me in to stay with my mom… My mom’s life hangs in the balance, and they won’t let us in. This is

outrageous!”

Tears began to flow silently down her cheeks as she spoke.

Ellis frowned and looked directly at Lewis. “Lewis, don’t push it too far! Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you are in Oceanion? Your bodyguards may be tough for ordinary peopl handle, but do you believe I can’t hold my own?”

Being the next family head of the Olsen family, Ellis assuredly had protection when he came to Oceanion

The bodyguards of the Olsen family wouldn’t be too

weak.

Lewis narrowed his eyes. “Are you trying to pick a fight

10.15

4/9

182 Wake Up

with me right here? Are you not afraid that Mrs. Olsen, who just woke up, will be scared again?”

He saw right through what Ellis cared about in an

instant.

Ellis was speechless.

He frowned. “Lewis, how have you become so shameless? To even use Mrs. Olsen to threaten me? She is but a defenseless woman, if you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!”

Lewis responded indifferently, “Didn’t we just have a one-on-one six months ago? Are you sure you want to embarrass yourself here?”

Ellis was shocked.

He had never considered that Lewis, always the gentleman, could have such a shameless moment!

He looked angrily at Isla, then scoffed. “Fine, I can’t beat you, but I have other means. Miss Isla, your parents have been imprisoned and their personal

freedom restricted for no reason. You have the right to call the police!”

Upon hearing this, Isla’s eyes lit up, and she

10:14

5/9

182 Wake Up

immediately grabbed her phone.

The next moment, her wrist was violently yanked, and the phone was snatched away by a black-clothed bodyguard. “Miss Olsen, I’ll hold onto your phone for a while.”

Isla’s pupils shrank, and at that moment she suddenly realized that none of her methods were of any use in front of absolute power!

She bit her lip and looked at Ellis. “Mr. Olsen, please save us! Otherwise, when my mother wakes up, if the first thing she sees is Keira, even if she’s not scared to death, she’d probably die of anger…”

Ellis frowned slightly with hesitation.

If he really called his men over and started a big fight here, it might disturb or even frighten Mrs. Olsen…

But if he didn’t, it would indeed be too frustrating.

His uncle had asked him to take good care of Mrs. Olsen, and he couldn’t allow her to be wronged!

Thinking about this, Ellis was about to call for help when Lewis said, “Ellis, how come you are still as foolish here as you were abroad?”

10.14

6/9

182 Wake Up

+28

Ellis immediately became indignant. “Either take action or speak politely, but how can you insult me?”

Lewis looked directly at him. “Let me ask you, were you present when Mrs. Olsen saw Keira?”

Ellis paused. “I was.”

“At that time, did Mrs. Olsen ever say she wanted Keira to leave? Although I have had little contact with Mrs. Olsen, I also know that she has always had a good relationship with Keira.”

Lewis stared at him intently. “Don’t just listen to rumors; seeing is believing!”

Ellis was stunned.

He slowly frowned, remembering that earlier at the Olsen residence, Mrs. Olsen seemed quite warm toward Keira, and he suddenly felt confused. “Mrs. Olsen doesn’t despise the illegitimate daughter?”

Lewis said, “As far as I know, they’re quite affectionate

to each other.”

“How is that possible?” Ellis found it incredible.

A lady should despise her husband’s illegitimate

daughter shouldn’t she? How could they have a good

10.14

7/9

< 182 Wake Up

relationship?

He felt as if he was hearing a joke.

Mrs. Olsen wasn’t a saint. According to his uncle, she was quite decisive in her youth. How could this be possible? It completely defied common sense!

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Lewis pointed to the hospital room and said, “No matter how strong Keira is, she never let bodyguards through that door… Don’t you understand yet?”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

The arguments outside could actually be heard very clearly in the room.

The soundproofing in the hospital wasn’t very good.

Keira paid no attention to the outside, only staring at Mrs. Olsen. She then saw Mrs. Olsen’s eyes suddenly move-was she waking up?!

Taylor’s eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes as if he was about to cry.

Keira pursed her lips and said nothing, still staring at Mrs. Olsen. However, her eyes only moved slightly before stopping again, seemingly falling back to sleep.

Keira frowned.

Taylor became puzzled as well, “Shirley? Shirley? Wake

Mrs. Olsen was motionless.

Keira faintly felt something wasn’t right. She stepped forward, only to see Taylor was even more panicked than she was, and he immediately pressed the call

button on the wall.

Very soon, the doctor entered the room.

He was startled by the bodyguards outside and got

infected by the confrontational mood, but as he was

úsed to dealing with VIP ward patients, he quickly calmed down.

“What’s the matter?”

The doctor asked.

Taylor asked, “My wife’s eyes were moving just now, and it seemed like she was going to wake up. Why hasn’t she woken up yet?”

The doctor also checked the time.

The nurse beside him immediately reminded him, “The patient suffered from anger-induced collapse, and we just checked it. By all accounts, she should have woken up within half an hour, but it’s already been forty

minutes…”

The doctor immediately said, “Let’s have a look.”

The doctors and nurses began to bustle about.

Outside the door.

Lewis also frowned. He took out his cell phone and

sent a text message to Tom. “Bring over the best experts from Oceanion!”

10:14

2/10

183 Uncle Olsen

After sending the message, he didn’t enter the room but continued to stand guard.

Isla became a bit anxious and looked at Ellis.

But she noticed that he was persuaded by Lewis, not intending to call the bodyguards over again, and was only standing outside, craning his neck to wait for

results.

The door was open, and they could hear the doctor’s conversation inside from where they stood.

Isla frowned.

This couldn’t be happening… with Ellis’s arrival, the influence of the Clance Olsen family was present, which could counterbalance against Lewis. If even he lost sympathy for her, what would she use to fight with

Keira?

With these thoughts, Isla’s eyes flickered.

She suddenly rushed toward the hospital room, cryin out, “Mom, how is my mom?”

But she was easily stopped by a black-clothed bodyguard.

Isla struggled fiercely but the bodvouard’s arm was

3/10

183 Uncle Olsen

like an immovable barrier, preventing her from breaking free and entering the door.

This was the effect Isla wanted.

She lowered her eyes and suddenly turned to kneel in front of Lewis with a loud “thump”!

Everyone was stunned by her actions, and then they heard her crying out, “Uncle Lewis, I beg you, let me in. That’s my mother… what exactly is wrong with her? Why hasn’t she woken up? Uncle Lewis, I know I haven’t been nice to Keira usually. I’m sorry! May I

kneel to her? Please!”

Her face was streaked with tears.

Jake couldn’t help feeling pity and immediately spoke up. “Uncle Lewis! The Horton family follows your lead, but you can’t be this tyrannical! Mrs. Olsen is Isla’s mother! Isla has the right to enter!”

Ellis immediately knit his brows, “Lewis, let her in.”

Regardless of the relationship between Mrs. Olsen and Keira, Isla was her daughter, and Mrs. Olsen would definitely want to see Isla first when she was gravely

ill!

10:14 – T

Lewis looked toward the hospital room.

Keira had heard their argument from the start, and now Isla’s crying was annoying. She suddenly turned her head and fiercely looked at Isla. “You can come in, but if I hear you crying again, I’ll personally throw her out the window!”

Isla immediately closed her mouth.

The bodyguards outside heard this and hesitated for a moment. Initially, they wanted to wait for their boss’s instructions, but then they remembered Lewis’s demeanor earlier in the day, so they immediately stepped aside without hesitation.

Isla finally entered the door.

It was then that Ellis turned to Lewis, “Without Keira speaking, were you really not planning to let Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter in? Lewis, you’re being too tyrannical! Let me tell you, Mrs. Olsen was a friend of Uncle Olsen, and with me here, I absolutely won’t allow you to bully her!”

Lewis paid him no heed.

Next to him, Jake’s gaze intensely focused on the ward,
