My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 718

As they left, neither of them noticed old Mrs. Horton behind them, pursing her lips.

“How dare those people order around my granddaughter-in-law!”

Spitting on them would have been the least of it!

Thinking this, she reached out for a glass of water to rinse her mouth, but as soon as her hand extended, it almost knocked the cup over.

At that moment, a hand appeared and caught the glass.

Old Mrs. Horton turned her head to see Keira standing beside her.

Immediately, she put on an innocent face. “You're such a pretty girl. Who are you?”

“I'm Nora. I made the medicine you've been taking. Lewis and I both know you're fine now, so you can drop the act.”

With a sigh, Keira placed the glass back in old Mrs. Horton's hand.

Old Mrs. Horton smiled bitterly. “Even if you can tell, you could just pretend you don't.”

Keira took a napkin and gently wiped her mouth. “Why go through all this? Let's just enjoy these last moments together, okay?”

Old Mrs. Horton sighed. “What do you know? I'm getting old, and soon, I won't be able to take care of myself. In a few days, someone will need to help me with… everything. I can't bear to let you and Lewis do that.”

Keira's eyes reddened. “But we want to…”

“I know you do, but I've kept myself dignified my whole life. I don't want you two to see me like that. They say there are no dutiful children in front of a sick bed for too long. It's not that I doubt your care. I just want to leave Lewis with a dignified memory.”

Old Mrs. Horton smiled. “Besides, I've never been that close to the main branch. Now, in the last stretch, maybe I'll finally spend some time with them. Keira, you should stay by Lewis's side and help him get used to life without me. As for me, I can let go and spend time with the main branch, let my true self show a little.”

Hearing this, Keira sighed again and nodded. She didn't say anything more. As she reached for some tissues and a mop to clean up the food old Mrs. Horton had thrown up, old Mrs. Horton turned toward the door and called out, “Oliver, my dear grandson, come quick! There's a stranger here, get her out!”

Keira blinked. “Grandma, I'm cleaning you up.”

“No! I don't want you near me!”

Oliver swaggered over, grinning. “Sister-in-law, Grandma only recognizes me and Dad lately. What can we do? Maybe you should just let it go and stay away from her.”

Keira frowned, glancing at old Mrs. Horton. “And what about all this mess on the floor?”

Oliver opened his mouth to respond, but old Mrs. Horton beat him to it. “My grandson will clean it up!”

Oliver said, “What?!”
