Time was running out...

A heavy feeling settled in Keira's chest.

She had a close bond with old Mrs. Horton. Back in Oceanion, old Mrs. Horton had relied on Keira during her stay. She always took Keira's side and defended her.

It was old Mrs. Horton who had convinced Lewis to believe in their marriage...

After that, no matter what Keira did, old Mrs. Horton was always incredibly supportive.

Her time was indeed running out; back in Oceanion, she only had two months left to live. It was only after taking Keira's medication that her condition stabilized.

But after all, she was eighty-seven years old, and her health was failing...

Keira's heart grew heavier. "Since that's the case, you should've been with her instead of me. You should stay with Grandma."

Lewis lowered his gaze. "Grandma insisted I stay with you."

He had returned to the Horton residence several times, but each time, old Mrs. Horton would send him back, telling him to stay with Keira because she was worried she would lose Keira again...
