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
10:13

181 Confrontation
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
is
31832
181 Confrontation
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.

10.14
181 Confrontation
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.

< 181 Confrontation
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
181 Confrontation
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!”
Isla nodded in agreement.
As the two were talking, the door was pushed open,
and Keira walked in.
Upon seeing her, Isla immediately frowned.
Jake also abruptly stood up. Noticing Isla’s complete rejection and the budding guilt within him, he stepped in front of Isla and rebuked Keira. “Keira, what are you doing here? Haven’t you caused enough chaos for the Olsen family?!”
Isla, with reddened eyes, also cried out, “Uncle, I’m hegging you! I know you want to defend your wife, but
10:14
G/B
181 Confrontation
my mom really can’t be agitated… You all heard what the doctor just said. She had a fit of rage! She’s about to wake up. Can’t you stop bothering her?!”
Keira looked at her calmly. “I didn’t mean to disturb Mrs. Olsen. Right before she fainted, she obviously had something to tell me. If Mrs. Olsen wakes up and says even a word for me to leave, I will go right away.”
But Isla scoffed. “We don’t need to wait for my mom to wake up. She’s my mom! What I say goes. I want you to
leave now!”
Jake immediately stood in front of Isla. “That’s right, Uncle, Keira, no matter what you do today, you’re not getting through this door!”
Isla instantly looked at him appreciatively, bowing her head she said in a plaintive tone. “Jake, thank you.”
“We are husband and wife; there’s no need for such
formalities.”
At that moment, Jake felt full of power in his chest, lik
he was a real man.
Keira, unaccustomed to indulging them, immediately
waved her hand.
182 Wake Up
Mrs. Olsen was still asleep, showing no signs of waking
hap.
At the door of the hospital room stood two black-clad bodyguards, blocking Isla and Jake from entering.
Inside, Taylor’s eyes glinted as he saw her and Lewis come in, but he said little. He merely held Mrs. Olsen’s hand and turned his head to gaze at Keira, sitting there in a daze.
In the mere three hours since Mrs. Olsen’s incident, Taylor had aged a decade.
His eyes were filled with the weight of the world.

What was she thinking at the moment she saw the photo and heard Mr. Allen call the woman in it Lady South, to ignore that and look for Mrs. Olsen?
She felt ridiculous.
At that moment, Lewis approached her and, taking her hand, asked, “Should the room be cleared?”
His gaze toward Taylor was unfriendly.
Anyone who was unkind to Keira, Lewis now regarded with disdain.
Hearing this, Keira tensed her jaw. She looked at the tightly clasped hands of Taylor and Mrs. Olsen and couldn’t bring herself to separate them.
She lowered her eyes. “Let it be.”
As long as Mrs. Olsen could see her when she woke and hear the words she wanted to say before passin out, that would be enough.
Lewis nodded in agreement.
Then came Jake’s struggling cries from outside the door.
Keira didn’t move but sat down on the other side of
29
182 Wake Up
Mrs. Olsen’s bed instead.
Seeing this, Lewis gave Taylor another look.
He seemed like a zombie, his decadence and worry impossible to fake.
Realizing he posed no danger to Keira, Lewis then stepped out of the room.
He was met with the sight of Jake being held aloft by a burly man in black, kicking and screaming. “Let go of me! I’m also a member of the Horton family! You all are bodyguards hired by the Hortons, and you must obey my commands!”
The bodyguard almost rolled his eyes hearing this.
As if the Horton family could afford them?
In choosing whom to protect, they also consider overall strength.
Did the Horton family’s dirty money make them
reverent?
The man in black showed no intention of letting Jake go. However, with a faint raise of his hand from Lewis, the bodyguard finally put Jake down.
10:14
3/9
182 Wake Up
Jake was beside himself with fury, stomping madly.
Isla also felt enraged.
Just then, Ellis’s angry rebuke came from the door, “Lewis, what the hell are you doing?!”
Isla’s eyes immediately reddened, “Mr. Olsen, Uncle and Keira have taken control of the room and won’t let
me in to stay with my mom… My mom’s life hangs in the balance, and they won’t let us in. This is
outrageous!”
Tears began to flow silently down her cheeks as she spoke.
Ellis frowned and looked directly at Lewis. “Lewis, don’t push it too far! Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you are in Oceanion? Your bodyguards may be tough for ordinary peopl handle, but do you believe I can’t hold my own?”
Being the next family head of the Olsen family, Ellis assuredly had protection when he came to Oceanion
The bodyguards of the Olsen family wouldn’t be too
weak.
Lewis narrowed his eyes. “Are you trying to pick a fight
10.15
4/9
182 Wake Up
with me right here? Are you not afraid that Mrs. Olsen, who just woke up, will be scared again?”
He saw right through what Ellis cared about in an
instant.
Ellis was speechless.
He frowned. “Lewis, how have you become so shameless? To even use Mrs. Olsen to threaten me? She is but a defenseless woman, if you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!”
Lewis responded indifferently, “Didn’t we just have a one-on-one six months ago? Are you sure you want to embarrass yourself here?”
Ellis was shocked.
He had never considered that Lewis, always the gentleman, could have such a shameless moment!
He looked angrily at Isla, then scoffed. “Fine, I can’t beat you, but I have other means. Miss Isla, your parents have been imprisoned and their personal
freedom restricted for no reason. You have the right to call the police!”
Upon hearing this, Isla’s eyes lit up, and she
10:14
5/9
182 Wake Up
immediately grabbed her phone.
The next moment, her wrist was violently yanked, and the phone was snatched away by a black-clothed bodyguard. “Miss Olsen, I’ll hold onto your phone for a while.”
Isla’s pupils shrank, and at that moment she suddenly realized that none of her methods were of any use in front of absolute power!
She bit her lip and looked at Ellis. “Mr. Olsen, please save us! Otherwise, when my mother wakes up, if the first thing she sees is Keira, even if she’s not scared to death, she’d probably die of anger…”
Ellis frowned slightly with hesitation.
If he really called his men over and started a big fight here, it might disturb or even frighten Mrs. Olsen…
But if he didn’t, it would indeed be too frustrating.
His uncle had asked him to take good care of Mrs. Olsen, and he couldn’t allow her to be wronged!
Thinking about this, Ellis was about to call for help when Lewis said, “Ellis, how come you are still as foolish here as you were abroad?”
10.14
6/9
182 Wake Up
+28
Ellis immediately became indignant. “Either take action or speak politely, but how can you insult me?”
Lewis looked directly at him. “Let me ask you, were you present when Mrs. Olsen saw Keira?”
Ellis paused. “I was.”
“At that time, did Mrs. Olsen ever say she wanted Keira to leave? Although I have had little contact with Mrs. Olsen, I also know that she has always had a good relationship with Keira.”
Lewis stared at him intently. “Don’t just listen to rumors; seeing is believing!”
Ellis was stunned.
He slowly frowned, remembering that earlier at the Olsen residence, Mrs. Olsen seemed quite warm toward Keira, and he suddenly felt confused. “Mrs. Olsen doesn’t despise the illegitimate daughter?”
Lewis said, “As far as I know, they’re quite affectionate
to each other.”
“How is that possible?” Ellis found it incredible.
A lady should despise her husband’s illegitimate
daughter shouldn’t she? How could they have a good
10.14

< 182 Wake Up
relationship?
He felt as if he was hearing a joke.
Mrs. Olsen wasn’t a saint. According to his uncle, she was quite decisive in her youth. How could this be possible? It completely defied common sense!
Seeing that he had fallen silent, Lewis pointed to the hospital room and said, “No matter how strong Keira is, she never let bodyguards through that door… Don’t you understand yet?”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
The arguments outside could actually be heard very clearly in the room.
The soundproofing in the hospital wasn’t very good.
Keira paid no attention to the outside, only staring at Mrs. Olsen. She then saw Mrs. Olsen’s eyes suddenly move-was she waking up?!

Taylor’s eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes as if he was about to cry.
Keira pursed her lips and said nothing, still staring at Mrs. Olsen. However, her eyes only moved slightly before stopping again, seemingly falling back to sleep.
Keira frowned.
Taylor became puzzled as well, “Shirley? Shirley? Wake
up…
Mrs. Olsen was motionless.
Keira faintly felt something wasn’t right. She stepped forward, only to see Taylor was even more panicked than she was, and he immediately pressed the call
button on the wall.
Very soon, the doctor entered the room.
He was startled by the bodyguards outside and got

infected by the confrontational mood, but as he was
úsed to dealing with VIP ward patients, he quickly calmed down.
“What’s the matter?”
The doctor asked.
Taylor asked, “My wife’s eyes were moving just now, and it seemed like she was going to wake up. Why hasn’t she woken up yet?”
The doctor also checked the time.
The nurse beside him immediately reminded him, “The patient suffered from anger-induced collapse, and we just checked it. By all accounts, she should have woken up within half an hour, but it’s already been forty
minutes…”
The doctor immediately said, “Let’s have a look.”
The doctors and nurses began to bustle about.
Outside the door.
Lewis also frowned. He took out his cell phone and
sent a text message to Tom. “Bring over the best experts from Oceanion!”
10:14
2/10
183 Uncle Olsen
After sending the message, he didn’t enter the room but continued to stand guard.
Isla became a bit anxious and looked at Ellis.
But she noticed that he was persuaded by Lewis, not intending to call the bodyguards over again, and was only standing outside, craning his neck to wait for
results.
The door was open, and they could hear the doctor’s conversation inside from where they stood.
Isla frowned.
This couldn’t be happening… with Ellis’s arrival, the influence of the Clance Olsen family was present, which could counterbalance against Lewis. If even he lost sympathy for her, what would she use to fight with
Keira?
With these thoughts, Isla’s eyes flickered.
She suddenly rushed toward the hospital room, cryin out, “Mom, how is my mom?”
But she was easily stopped by a black-clothed bodyguard.
Isla struggled fiercely but the bodvouard’s arm was
3/10
183 Uncle Olsen
like an immovable barrier, preventing her from breaking free and entering the door.
This was the effect Isla wanted.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly turned to kneel in front of Lewis with a loud “thump”!
Everyone was stunned by her actions, and then they heard her crying out, “Uncle Lewis, I beg you, let me in. That’s my mother… what exactly is wrong with her? Why hasn’t she woken up? Uncle Lewis, I know I haven’t been nice to Keira usually. I’m sorry! May I
kneel to her? Please!”
Her face was streaked with tears.
Jake couldn’t help feeling pity and immediately spoke up. “Uncle Lewis! The Horton family follows your lead, but you can’t be this tyrannical! Mrs. Olsen is Isla’s mother! Isla has the right to enter!”
Ellis immediately knit his brows, “Lewis, let her in.”
Regardless of the relationship between Mrs. Olsen and Keira, Isla was her daughter, and Mrs. Olsen would definitely want to see Isla first when she was gravely
ill!

Lewis looked toward the hospital room.
Keira had heard their argument from the start, and now Isla’s crying was annoying. She suddenly turned her head and fiercely looked at Isla. “You can come in, but if I hear you crying again, I’ll personally throw her out the window!”
Isla immediately closed her mouth.
The bodyguards outside heard this and hesitated for a moment. Initially, they wanted to wait for their boss’s instructions, but then they remembered Lewis’s demeanor earlier in the day, so they immediately stepped aside without hesitation.
Isla finally entered the door.
It was then that Ellis turned to Lewis, “Without Keira speaking, were you really not planning to let Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter in? Lewis, you’re being too tyrannical! Let me tell you, Mrs. Olsen was a friend of Uncle Olsen, and with me here, I absolutely won’t allow you to bully her!”
Lewis paid him no heed.
Next to him, Jake’s gaze intensely focused on the ward,

the verge of collapse as if she would fall at any
moment.
She had knelt down with too much force just before, and now her knees hurt a bit, so after walking a couple of steps, she bent over to massage her knees. Without a doubt, they must have bruised.
He addressed Lewis. “Uncle, even if you won’t consider my feelings, you should at least be kinder to her for the sake of the Horton’s heir in Isla’s belly!”
These words made Lewis’s eyes darken.
The child in Isla’s womb belonged to that Connor Hill in jail, and both Keira and Isla knew it.
Keira hadn’t exposed it because she didn’t want to make a fuss, and also because Jake now seemed more like a stranger to her.
But upon hearing this, Lewis couldn’t help but retor “Are you certain that it’s Horton blood?”
Jake immediately frowned. “Uncle, what do you mean by that? I know what I have done. Aren’t I clear on that? The child in Isla’s belly is mine!”
Lewis scoffed. “I suggest you still find the time to do a
10:14
6/10
183 Uncle Olsen
check-up, lest you become a cuckhold husband.”
But Jake still didn’t believe it. “Isla is the Olsen family’s eldest daughter, not someone who messes around. She’s never even dated anyone from childhood. She has only had me in her heart. If it’s not mine, then whose could it be? Uncle, come to think of it, you and Keira have been married for two years with no news. Is it possible that there’s something wrong with you?”
Lewis immediately gave him a cold look.
Jake got scared and lowered his head, muttering, “My mom said that we must protect the child in Isla’s belly at all cost. You don’t have children of your own and are jealous of mine… it turns out she guessed right!”
Lewis chuckled coldly, feeling that he really shouldn’t have said anything.
He looked at Jake mockingly. “Whether the child is yours or not is none of my business. I was just kindly giving you a reminder. After all, she was pregnant before marriage, right? Are you sure you’re her only
man?”
Jake was taken aback, his tone unsure, but he stubbornly retorted, “Of course! I’m certain!”

“As you wish.”
Leaving behind those words, Lewis entered the ward
and walked up to Keira.
Seeing this, Jake tried to follow but was stopped by the black-clothed bodyguards.
Inside the ward.
After completing all the examinations, the attending doctor frowned. “The patient’s condition is a bit strange. She should have woken up by now, but she remains unconscious. Yet, all her vital signs are normal and there’s no sign of waking. That’s really rare…”
Upon hearing this, Keira immediately grew anxious.
Next to her, Lewis took her hand. “I’ve already had Tom call in all the neurology experts from Oceanion Mrs. Olsen will be alright!”
After hearing this, Keira nodded.
Outside, Ellis was dumbstruck.
What was going on here?
Wasn’t Mrs. Olsen supposed to be fine? Why hadn’t she woken up?

He was getting a bit panicked when his phone rang at that moment.
Ellis hesitantly looked down and saw Uncle Olsen’s call come through!
Ellis jumped with a start and immediately answered, “Uncle Olsen…”
“Which ward?”
A deep, mature voice came through the phone.
After Ellis reported the ward number, he was confused. “Did you know Mrs. Olsen was sick? I mean… how did you know?”
To keep Uncle Olsen from worrying, he hadn’t
mentioned it at all!
But as soon as these words left his mouth, he thou t

were Uncle Olsen’s men…
Ellis understood, then asked further, “Are you comin to Oceanion? Just bring some of Clance’s experts wit you… Mrs. Olsen’s condition doesn’t seem good here.”
The voice on the other end became urgent, “How bad
is it?”

“She’s been unconscious all this while,” replied Ellis. Ast he was speaking, he heard the honking on the other

“Hospital entrance.”
The icy voice was laced with unease.

Ellis heard this and was a bit dumbfounded, “Huh? You’re at the hospital entrance? Then I’ll come down right away to pick you up…”
After hanging up, he looked toward Lewis and thought to himself, “Lewis, I may have no way to deal with you, but my uncle is coming! Just you wait, after you bullied Mrs. Olsen, you definitely won’t get away with it!”
With that thought, he hurried downstairs.
Nobody in the ward noticed that he had left after making the call, except for Isla.
Seeing Ellis leaving, she immediately came to Jake’s side and asked, “Jake, did Mr. Olsen just say that an elder from his family is coming?”
Jake was slightly startled. “Did he? I didn’t catch that…
He frowned, his mind full of the words Lewis had said, and his gaze unintentionally fell on Isla’s belly. He hesitated before asking, “Is this child really mine?”
Isla’s eyes flickered for a moment.
She had of course heard the conversation between
1/11
184 Daddy
Lewis and Jake in the ward. She had thought that Jake trusted her, but unexpectedly, Jake asked her that question.
That was clearly a sign of distrust!
Indeed, on the night she and Jake were together, he was drunk and kept calling her Keira…
At this thought, she clenched her fists tightly.
Isla showed a hurt expression. “Jake, what do you mean by this? You can’t possibly be suspecting me, can
you?”
Jake frowned even more. He scrutinized her carefully, seeing nothing but sadness on her face, and then said, “Of course I trust you. My uncle said what he did just because he’s jealous that he can’t have children!”
Isla finally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, “Jus now, when Mr. Olsen was on the phone, I heard him mention Uncle Olsen is coming, Uncle Olsen… isn’t l the head of the Clance Olsen family?”
Jake was surprised, then shook his head. “That can’t be how could someone of his stature come all the way to Clance just to visit your mother in this hospital…”

184 Daddy
Although Mrs. Olsen had some connections in Clance, Jake didn’t think they were that significant.
Uncle Olsen, after all, was a big shot in Clance whose smallest actions could shake the entire economic
circle. How could he personally visit Mrs. Olsen?
If Mrs. Olsen had such connections, the Olsen family’s business would have been booming, and if not surpassing the Horton family, it would at least rank among the top in Oceanion.
Isla thought about it and also felt it was unlikely.
She must have thought too much… right?
But if Mrs. Olsen really had such connections, how could she bear to let her marry Jake? Why not introduce her to a bigwig in Clance?!
At this thought, she looked toward the bed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
There were many secrets about Mrs. Olsen that even she didn’t know.
Even Mrs. Olsen’s connections were tightly concealed; if Isla hadn’t threatened her with her life, Mrs. Olsen would never have approached the Horton family, nor

would she have managed to bring someone from the Clance Olsen family to suppor
her…
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Isla’s lips.
If Mrs. Olsen died just like that, Clance wouldn’t know who would come to offer condolences. By then, seeing her as Mrs. Olsen’s daughter, those connections might give her extra care, right?
Then Mrs. Olsen’s connections would be transferred to
her!
With this thought, Isla quickly retracted her malicious
gaze.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside
the door.
Tom walked in with five elderly-looking experts, heading straight for the center of the ward.
When the doctors and nurses couldn’t find a

speak, his extreme nervousness and collapse were
évident.
His lips were dry and even cracked a bit.
Ever since Mrs. Olsen’s incident, he had gone without food or water, constantly by her side.
Isla walked over, holding his arm. “Dad, go have some water and rest for a while…”
“Back off.”
Taylor glared at Isla. There was no shred of emotion in those eyes, which were as cold as if they were looking at a dead person. “Don’t even think about making me leave Shirley!”
Isla was taken aback by his reaction and felt a trace of bitterness deep within.
Taylor was her biological father, who had pampered and loved her since she was a child.
For Isla, this was the first time she saw such an alien emotion in his eyes.
A sourness suddenly arose in her heart.
Taylor’s kindness to her was only because she was

Mrs. Olsen’s daughter…
If Dad knew she was Poppy’s daughter, perhaps he wouldn’t be so kind to her, right?
That was her understanding from childhood, so she kept that secret tightly concealed.
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath. “Dad, why don’t you sit down first.”
However, Taylor ignored her, still staring intently at Mrs. Olsen. “Shirley, you can’t leave me, okay? Without you, what’s the point of living?”
From that expression, everyone could tell that if Mrs. Olsen really didn’t wake up, Taylor would probably kill himself.
Isla’s eyes reddened, and she turned her head away
The doctor beside them also couldn’t help but let slight sigh.
Keira clenched her fist.
No matter how badly Taylor treated her, his feelings for Mrs. Olsen had always been real from beginning to end…

Unfortunately, throughout the years, there always
seemed to be a veil between Mrs. Olsen and him as if a
faint gauze was separating his intense love…
Keira always felt that what stood between them was Poppy and herself.
If it weren’t for them, Mrs. Olsen and Taylor would probably be a loving couple, right?
As Keira thought this, the specialists from Oceanion had already finished their examination of Mrs. Olsen. They huddled together for a targeted discussion and soon came to a conclusion, giving everyone a
reassuring statement. “Mrs. Olsen is not in any life-threatening danger.”
These words made Taylor heave a heavy sigh of relief again.
He asked urgently, “Then why doesn’t Shirley wake up
The doctors looked at each other, “We’ve also conducted an EEG on her, and there are no problems. As for why Mrs. Olsen hasn’t woken up, we discussed it, and it seems that she hasn’t rested well for too long. Her body automatically engaged sleep mode to

recover her strength and energy as quickly as possible…”
Taylor asked again anxiously, “When will she wake up?”
“At the latest, in three days.”
Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. He walked back to his seat and took Mrs. Olsen’s hand. “Shirley, you want to sleep well for three days, right? Alright, no problem, I’ll stay with you…”
He sat there quietly, no longer speaking.
Keira tensed her jaw.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Uncle Olsen’s car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
After picking him up, Ellis briskly led him upstairs to
the ward.
Scratching his head, he asked, “Uncle Olsen, what exactly is your relationship with Mrs. Olsen? Why have you rushed here in person?”
Uncle Olsen’s expression was firm and composed. Nearing fifty, he still looked like a man in his thirties or

forties, not showing the typical middle-aged lack of energy but remaining lean and strong.
He was wearing a black cloak, and the entire aura about him was one of coldness.
At hearing this question, those cold, glinting eyes glanced sideways at Ellis.
Ellis immediately stretched out his hand, making a zipping motion over his mouth. “OK, I won’t ask what I
shouldn’t.”
Uncle Olsen withdrew his gaze. The man of few words with a resolute look in his eyes continued to focus straight ahead.
He didn’t even wait for the elevator and climbed the
stairs to the third floor.
Ellis said, “Uncle Olsen, don’t rush. The doctor said Mrs. Olsen’s life isn’t in danger. She’s just tired and hasn’t woken up yet…”
Uncle Olsen’s expression softened slightly, but he didn’t stop.
Ellis coughed and joked wryly, “Uncle Olsen, do you recognize all those ladies from Grandma’s

generation?”
Uncle Olsen replied coldly, “Most of them. Your grandmother took me to many gatherings back in the day. Why do you ask?”
“Oh, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that Lewis came with a photo looking for one of the ladies from Grandma’s generation. I was worried I wouldn’t recognize her, but if you do, that would be great… Since you’re here, you could help him have a look.”
Ellis touched his nose.

Uncle Olsen didn’t say anything more and quickened
his pace.
Soon, they arrived outside the ward.
Ellis pushed the door and entered.

185 Arrival
Ellis pushed open the door of the hospital room and
walked in.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was good, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He then prepared to introduce everyone to his uncle, and so he began, “This is my…”
When he turned around, however, he didn’t see Uncle Olsen following behind him and was somewhat confused.
Where was his uncle?
Ellis had no choice but to turn back, only to see Uncle Olsen leaning against the wall in the corridor outside
The man, who was always restrained and
self-possessed, had lit up a cigarette.
He took a fierce drag, then blew out a ring of smoke.
Scratching his head, Ellis asked, “Uncle, why aren’t you coming in?”
Amidst the curling smoke, the man’s resolute

expression showed a moment of distraction. He said lightly, “Well, it’s okay. I’ll wait here for the results.”
Ellis was puzzled.
He became even more baffled, “Uncle, you’ve come all this way to see Mrs. Olsen, and now you’re just going to wait here for the results?”
Uncle Olsen’s gaze fixed on something in the distance. He took another deep drag on his cigarette, and nodded, “Yes, I promised her that we would never meet again in or after this life.”
Ellis fell silent.
He heard intense sadness in that statement.
His mouth opened as if to say something, but he found he didn’t know what would be appropriate to say.
He had suspected that there was something between Uncle Olsen and Mrs. Olsen, perhaps an old flame, or maybe Uncle Olsen had failed this cherished friend. After all, Uncle Olsen had once been quite a playboy, pursued by many.
But he could never have imagined that their past would be so dramatic.

165 Arrival
A vow to never meet again in life or death.
What on earth had happened?
Ellis wanted to ask, but upon catching sight of Uncle Olsen’s ashen face, he dared not inquire and could only cough lightly, “Then…
“The medical team from Clance will arrive a bit later. I’ll be right here. You go in and stay with her,” said Uncle Olsen, lifting his head to reveal a resolute and decisive air. “Don’t let anything happen to her.”
Ellis nodded earnestly and then went back into the hospital room.
At this moment, the experts from Oceanion had already finished their consultation, and they were preparing to leave, one by one, leaving only a few members of the Olsen family in the room again.
Taylor looked dazed, constantly sitting by the bedside holding Mrs. Olsen’s hand without moving.
Aside from the doctors coming in for examinations, he had maintained this position for over four hours.
Isla looked at Ellis, then curiously peered behind him before asking, “Mr. Olsen, I heard you on the phone

saying that someone from the Olsen family has come?”
Ellis nodded. “My uncle is outside.”
Isla was extremely surprised. It was actually Uncle
Olsen!
Upon hearing this, Taylor abruptly raised his head and stared hard at Ellis. A flicker of confusion and panic appeared in his expression, and he gripped Mrs. Olsen’s hand even more tightly.
He trembled slightly.
He feared that man would forcibly take Shirley away, using her illness as an excuse!
However, Isla completely missed the change in Taylor’s demeanor and promptly said eagerly, “Why doesn’t Mr. Olsen come in? He… ”
Ellis explained, “Uncle won’t be coming in; after all, Mrs. Olsen is a lady, and he doesn’t want to disturb
her.”
This reassured Taylor, who turned to look at Mrs. Olsen on the bed, his gaze becoming even more
resolute.
Isla immediately walked out, “Then Jake and I will go

greet Mr. Olsen. It would be too impolite otherwise.”
“That’s indeed as it should be.”
Ellis thought to himself and glanced at Lewis and
Keira.
In Clance, many people fawn over trying to make acquaintance with Uncle Olsen, seizing any opportunity that comes their way.
Although Lewis is on the rise, full of youthful vigor, his power and influence still fall short compared to the accumulation of the older generation. He can sit at the same level as himself, but he’s still a step behind in front of Uncle Olsen.
That’s why he thought Lewis and Keira would go and pay their respects together, and then help speak some pleasing words for Keira…
But unexpectedly, the two just stared at Mrs. Olon the sickbed as if they had not heard what he said
Ellis paid them no attention.
Isla and Jake arrived at the door and immediately sa that man standing aloof from worldly affairs..
His presence was overwhelming; even without
