Samuel was stunned.
When he regained his senses, he hurried to Lewis’s side. “Mr. Horton, are you planning on… breaking in?”
Without saying a word, Lewis walked straight from the lobby to the detention center at the back, answering
with his actions.
Samuel said, “You are quite bold! Surely, this isn’t acceptable?”
Without pausing, Lewis asked coldly, “What else can I do? Can your boss wait until tomorrow?”
“Definitely not!”
Samuel followed him. “She can’t last until tomorrow. There was this time when iron wasn’t administered in time, and she fell into shock. We barely managed to
resuscitate her…”
Having said that, he got anxious and added angrily, “Her illness is indeed strange. Anyone else would think we’re lying to them. We can’t wait any longer! For her,
let’s risk it!”

As he spoke to himself, Lewis had already rushed toward the detention center
The prison guards blocked the entrance. “This is a prison. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in! Please leave immediately.”
Lewis ignored them and made his way inside.
Having sensed something was wrong from the
entrance, Captain Lincoln followed them and drew his gun at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, stop immediately, or I’ll
shoot!”
Lewis turned around and glanced at him, his expression calm.
Samuel was trembling with fear. Looking at the dark entrance, he felt his legs shaking.
It was so terrifying!
Seeing the two of them halt, Captain Lincoln breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Lewis’s position. The person in charge of the Horton family couldn’t be arrested so lightly. He asked, “Mr. Horton, what brings you here?”
Just as Samuel was about to say that he was here for

Keira, Lewis stopped him. “I was looking for the bathroom, but I ended up here by mistake.”
Samuel was dumbfounded.
He looked at Lewis in shock, his heart sinking.
Indeed, the marriage of Keira and Lewis was like a
joke. Faced with a gun, it made sense that Lewis didn’t want to risk his life.
But Samuel couldn’t abandon his boss.
As Lewis turned and began to walk away, Samuel stayed where he was.
Captain Lincoln frowned at him. “Mr. Morgan, aren’t you leaving with him?”
Samuel was terrified, but he took a deep breath. “I’m
not…”
Before he could finish saying “going,” disaster struck!
Lewis, who was standing next to Captain Lincoln, suddenly took action. He quickly moved to the captain, grasping the latter’s trigger hand. The captain’s hand went limp involuntarily, and the gun ended up in
Lewis’s hand.

Captain Lincoln tried to strike back and reclaim his gun, but the next moment, he suddenly felt an icy sensation on his forehead.
Lewis was pointing the gun at him.
Captain Lincoln was shocked.
He was completely dumbfounded!
When dealing with vicious criminals, he would never make such a mistake, but Lewis and Samuel were notable businessmen from Oceanion. They were the type who were always accompanied by bodyguards when they were out.
He never expected that Lewis would attack a police officer!
Samuel was also stunned, watching Lewis in a daze.
He was thinking that at worst, he could lie on the ground and refuse to move, forcing these people to draw blood from Keira!
But he didn’t expect Lewis to resort to this!
This was against the law!
“Mr. Horton, if you put down the gun now, I won’t hold
yousible.” Captain Lincoln held up both hands.
He was experienced and remained calm.
Lewis’s voice said, “Sorry, but I’m desperate to save
someone.”
Without waiting for Captain Lincoln to respond, he commanded those in front of him. “Get out of the
way!”
The few individuals at the entrance of the detention center didn’t dare to stop him and hastily moved out of the way.
Holding Captain Lincoln hostage, Lewis walked straight inside.
Samuel, agape, followed behind him.
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; he felt like had been forced to participate in a criminal act!
Now, if he said he wasn’t an accomplice, these police officers certainly wouldn’t believe him!
Meanwhile, Keira was still lying on her threadbare bed. She looked at the two officers entering her cell. They
were there to take her and Poppy to solitary. confinement. She turned to Holly to explain once

again. “I really am anemic.”
Indeed, she looked pale.
Holly hesitated once more.
At that point, Poppy collapsed onto the floor. “I’m the same. Oh my, I’m so dizzy… I’m about to die… Help
me!”
Holly really couldn’t tell who was faking it anymore.
Poppy’s performance was very convincing.
Keira didn’t seem to be pretending either…
As she hesitated, footsteps and startled exclamation from the other officers rang out outside the door!
Holly promptly turned her head, only to see Lewis holding Captain Lincoln hostage as he walked in.
His gaze quickly locked onto the jail cell where Keira was held. His eyes pierced through the iron bars and fixated on Keira herself.
Her face was as pale as a sheet, and she lay weakly on the bed, seemingly without the strength to even lift a
finger…

Lewis’s pupils constricted.
She always bravely stood tall, regardless of the
circumstances.
She never bowed her head.
Yet now, she couldn’t even sit up due to her frailty!
Concerned, he said furiously, “You’re abusing a suspect! I’ll hold you responsible for this!”
Holly retorted, “We didn’t! They fought with each other. Everything we’ve done is according to regulations!”
Samuel, following Lewis, saw how frail Keira was, and his eyes welled up with tears. “Boss, we’re here to h
you!”
He glared at Holly. “My boss is on her deathbed, and you still want to punish her? Do you even have humanity left?”
Captain Lincoln scoffed. “I’ve never heard of a woman dying from her period. If you’re pretending to be ill, at
least choose another disease to fake!”
Holly took a deep breath, agonizing for them. She
looked at Keira. “Keira Olsen, there’s no use running if

you

committed the murder! If you didn’t kill the person, we’ll restore your innocence! Even if you don’t
trust us, you should trust these officers! Why make such a fuss?”
She continued earnestly. “Mr. Horton, please back down. I’ll plead on your behalf, and Captain Lincoln won’t pursue your responsibilities, but if you really break out of prison, the consequences will be unimaginable! Keira, stop pretending to be ill!”
Keira gave a bitter smile. “Holly, you keep saying I don’t trust you. But what about you? Do you trust me?”
Holly was taken aback.
Keira says, “You don’t.”
But Holly’s eyes went red. “Why don’t I trust you? It’s because you continuously deceived me! It happened years ago, and it’s happening again now! Haven’t you tricked me enough?”
Keira didn’t speak anymore.
Lewis, still holding Captain Lincoln hostage, entered the infirmary. “Can you walk? Let’s leave.”
