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

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

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.

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.

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!”
