My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 255

Keira’s face still had iodine that hadn’t been 

completely wiped off, giving her skin a dark, sallow 

tone. 

But seeing her facial features, the butler felt he couldn’t have possibly mistaken them! 

While he was still shocked, Howard had already handed over a bundle of condolence money and said guiltily, “My wife, Keera, was a high school classmate of 

Horton. Hearing of Mrs. Horton’s tragic passing, insisted on coming to pay her respects.” 

After that, he dragged Keira toward the mourning hall. 

The butler stood there dumbfounded. He then looked 

down at the money handed over by Howard, which

that woman had already blended into the crowd and disappeared into the mourning hall. 

The butler decided he definitely must have been 

mistaken. 

The mourning hall was set up in the middle of the main house, a spacious area that made it convenient for everyone to view the body and offer incense to the deceased. 

No sooner had Keira entered with Howard than her gaze fell upon the coffin. 

The coffin was placed at the front, with people blocking the way, not allowing anyone to approach. 

A person nearby explained, “Mrs. Horton fell into the sea and 

bloated from the soaking. Her face decayed beyond recognition, so they’re anyone see her face… they decided not to

an open casket.” 

Hearing this, Keira staggered.

Her gaze swept over the crowd in the mourning hall. 

She saw Oliver and Melissa from the first branch of the family greeting outsiders, their faces displaying sorrow, but their eyes betrayed a gleam of something else. 

Next to them, Jake looked genuinely grieving, his eyes vacant, seemingly truly heartbroken for her. 

Keira withdrew her gaze, attempting to find other 

familiar faces. 

She didn’t see Mrs. Olsen… 

With Mrs. Olsen’s health condition, she must not have been able to withstand the pain of losing a daughter. Had she fainted again? 

But where was Lewis? 

Just as she thought of this, she heard Melissa explaining to the mourners. Alas, Lewis was so grief-stricken that he refused to acknowledge that the deceased was his wife. Now, he’s hiding in his room, refusing to come out and give his wife her final 

send-off…” 

Upon these words, the people around started-

whispering among themselves.

“Mr. Horton really loved his wife deeply, and he’s going to such lengths for Mrs. Horton…” 

“But I really feel that’s not right. Mrs. Horton’s body is 

in such a state that it would be better to bury her sooner rather than later. His sentimentality is getting in the way…” 

“I always thought Mr. Horton was a rational man, but I ard that he hasn’t even been to the Horton Group ese past couple of days. Everything’s being arranged by Mr. Davis…” 

Listening to these conversations, Keira lowered her 

gaze.

Wearing clothes that weren’t her usual style, all in the gentle styles of Keera, barely anyone recognized Keira on her way here. 

She quickly turned into old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard. 

Most of the servants were over at the main house helping out. 

At the moment, Fiona was chatting with another 

nanny. 

Fiona, with a dolorous expression, asked, “Has the master not eaten yet?” 

The other nodded, “Yeah, ever since the lady’s body was fished up, Mr. Horton has been beside himself…” 

Fiona wiped away her tears. “He’s deeply emotional. Old Mrs. Horton is also sick with sorrow. Gosh!” 

As they talked, they walked away. 

Keira thought for a moment. She then headed to the small building in the backyard and went straight up to the second floor, jumping onto the balcony of Lewis’s bedroom. 

Through the glass window, she saw the man curled up, 

leaning on the couch.

eira was late, yet he somehow felt relief. 

eira’s absence meant she couldn’t bear to divorce im, right? 

ut what he never expected was to eventually receive ews of her death! 

He couldn’t believe it and rushed to the seaside, only o see Mrs. Olsen standing there, flanked by Uncle Olsen and Taylor. 

The salvage crew kept searching back and forth in the 

water. 

At that instant, he felt his legs go weak! 

Every time the salvage crew surfaced, he hoped for news yet feared it at the same time. 

It had been over ten hours since the shipwreck… No 

one could survive at sea for that long! 

Keira must have been swept away by the current to 

another shore… She could swim! 

But a sentence from Samuel shattered his last 

defenses. 

Samuel, pacing anxiously beside him, muttered to himself, “It’s over. My boss is supposed to have her infusion today… She was meant to have it yesterday, but because of the divorce scheduled for that afternoon, it was postponed to tonight…” 

Divorce… 

Lewis staggered! 

If only he hadn’t been stubborn on the first day and if 

the divorce h 

ceeded smoothly, would Keira have

she had fallen into the sea, there could 

een a chance for her to survive… 

Just as Lewis thought about this, the salvage crew had

As Lewis thought about this, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by thousands of arrows, pain spreading 

from his chest. 

But these past two days, he had grown accustomed to the pain. 

Holding his chest, he lit another cigarette. 

Fiona’s knock came from outside the door. “Sir, Madam’s body is being taken to the funeral home. Aren’t you coming out to see it off?” 

The always refined and gentlemanly man suddenly looked up. 

Lewis’s eyes reddened. He grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled it toward the door. 

“Bang!” 

to the floor.

Lewis still didn’t move.
