Old Mrs. Horton paused for a moment, then turned her head to look.

She saw Lewis had already rushed up to Oliver, kicking him away with a single powerful blow!

Old Mrs. Horton finally felt she could breathe again, but she knew it was too late.

Her body had already reached its limit. Just moments ago, she had sensed her time was up, which was why she had urgently dragged Oliver upstairs.

Now, with Lewis supporting her, Old Mrs. Horton managed a faint smile. She pointed to a direction nearby and said, "There's a camera over there. Lewis, it's clear that Oliver tried to strangle me. You need to avenge me!"

Lewis's eyes were red as he looked at her.

He realized how wrong he had been!

He thought his grandmother was kind and thought she owed something to the first branch, so she wanted to be close to them. But he never imagined that even in the end, Grandma's concern was still about helping him!

If Grandma had passed away, he would have been accused of being heartless, but now, with Oliver's actions, he had justification to act against the first branch.

Tears streamed down Lewis's face, but an aged hand reached up to wipe them away. Old Mrs. Horton looked at him and said, "Lewis, a man shouldn't cry."

Lewis nodded through his tears, choking on his emotions. "Okay. I won't cry."

H tried to hold back the tears.

Old Mrs. Horton gently touched his face. "My dear grandson, you haven't been upset with me for saying I didn't know you, have you?"

Lewis shook his head. "No, Grandma. How could I be upset with you…"

"That's good." Old Mrs. Horton smiled and then turned to Keira, reaching out a trembling hand.

Keira quickly moved forward, crouching beside her and holding her hand. "Grandma."

Old Mrs. Horton smiled as she joined Keira's hand with Lewis's. She spoke softly, "Granddaughter-in-law, I don't know what you're doing, but no matter what, promise me one thing."

Keira replied immediately, "Of course."
