Keira, however, remained standing in place,
motionless.
She clenched her fists tightly, the moonlight casting upon her cool countenance, making her voice seem as if it were coated in a layer of ice. “Don’t bother.”
Lewis pondered for a moment before speaking. “Actually, even if he’s not your father, Mrs. Olsen could still possibly be your…”
“Don’t say it.” Keira Olsen interrupted him.
The moment he uttered “mother”, it would tarnish Mrs. Olsen’s character!
She lowered her eyes and spoke slowly, “Although Taylor was mean to me, he has always loved Mrs.
Olsen, and that has never changed. With such a
husband, how could Mrs. Olsen possibly have an affair? Let’s not insult her.”
Lewis’s jaw tensed as he tried to argue, but he remained silent.
Keira Olsen’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

“I always thought that the status of an illegitimate daughter was already quite sordid, but I never imagined it could get even worse…”
Lewis wanted to say something to comfort her, but Keira gestured with her hand. “I need a moment alone.”
“Alright.”
Lewis said quietly, taking a step back silently to give her ample space.
Poppy approached the hospital room nervously, and from outside the door, she heard the conversation between Mrs. Olsen and Taylor, which mentioned Keira.
Mrs. Olsen said, “After all, you and Keira are father and daughter. She was very nervous about you just now. You should be nicer to her in the future.”
Taylor, who had stopped bleeding and whose vital signs were stable, sighed. “You should be nicer to Isla…”
Mrs. Olsen suddenly lowered her voice, “Taylor, don’t

be like this. You know very well that I was pregnant before marrying you, and I haven’t been able to give you a child after that. Keira is your real daughter…”
“Don’t talk like that,” Taylor said with a smile. “When we got married, I already said that your daughter would be my daughter. Shirley, over these years, I’ve kept my word.”
Mrs. Olsen’s eyes welled up with grateful tears. “You’ve kept your word, but it’s so unfair to Keira, and it’s too
unfair to you…”
“The fact that you could give up the prosperity of
Clance and live with me in simplicity in Oceanion, I’m already very content. What’s unfair about that? Let’s not talk about this anymore!
Taylor smiled. “Besides, you’ve been so good to Kei over the years. Wasn’t that also out of a sense of redress? Shirley, she’s the result of Poppy’s scheming against me. I’ve never considered her as my daughter, you really don’t need to do this.”
Mrs. Olsen looked stunned.
At first, she might have indeed been kind to Keira with that thought in mind, but as they gradually got to

know each other, she genuinely grew fond of Keira…
Poppy stood outside the door, her face flushing red with anger.
She indeed had seduced Taylor by drugging him back then, and after getting pregnant, she even went through with amniocentesis to confirm the child was Taylor’s, but even after that, Taylor still wouldn’t accept her.
It was Mrs. Olsen who later brought her into the Olsen family.
Mrs. Olsen might seem virtuous, but in truth, her acceptance of her and the child was due to her guilt toward Taylor!
All the benefits and the reputation for virtue had been taken by her!
Fortunately…
The thought of how she had just berated Keira, coupled with the sight of Keira’s disbelief, rose a twisted sense of elation within Poppy.
She wouldn’t let Keira off the hook. She intended to make Keira live a lifetime in the pain and struggle of

her identity!
Nor would she let Mrs. Olsen go. She intended to ensure that Mrs. Olsen and Keira, the mother and daughter, could never know their real relationship!
A hint of madness crept onto Poppy’s face, twisting
into a crazed smile.
Keira didn’t know how long she had stood there.
She was right at the edge of the hospital entrance steps, which was a place untouched by the light. She watched those people coming and going through the hospital entrance.
They were either joyful or sorrowful, their expressions so vivid and bright.
Her mood, however, was as dull as ashes.
She didn’t know how long had passed when sudde warmth landed on her shoulder.
Keira turned her head and realized that Lewis had
draped his jacket over her, the warmth shielding her from the cruelty of this world.

“Actually…”
Lewis hesitated for a long time before he finally spoke, but after saying just two words, he didn’t know how to comfort her.
While he was still struggling, Keira said, “I’m fine, don’t
worry.”
Lewis was startled and then saw Keira slowly lift her head. She walked from the darkness toward the light, the defeatist aura around her slowly dissipating.
Appreciation flashed in Lewis’s eyes.
He had initially been attracted to Keira because of her
resilience.
It seemed that no matter what, if she was knocked down, she could immediately stand up again.
She wasn’t a fragile and powerless flower. Inside slender body seemed to be a wealth of energy, ma her overly seductive exterior seem unapproachable and dazzling.
Lewis’s lips curved with an almost imperceptible smile, and he found a topic to discuss. “Miss Olsen, what do you think is the secret that Finley Hill and Connor Hill

keep talking about?”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Keira cocked her head, looking
wild and laughing unrestrainedly. “Connor Hill will tell me in the end.”
Lewis played along with her. “Really? I would love to
hear more.”
“You don’t know Isla,” Keira Olsen said slowly. “After this is over, she won’t allow something dangerous to affect her future.”
Lewis was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
“Just wait and see.”
Keira teased him. “In at most half a month, Isla will destroy herself.”
Lewis nodded, “I’ll await the good news.”
Neither of them spoke again just quietly looking at
each other.
Tonight was probably the first time Keira didn’t feel lonely in the dead of night as if on the road of life, she didn’t always have to walk forward alone…
Not far away.
