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 didnt 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 arent you coming in?
Amidst the curling smoke, the mans resolute

expression showed a moment of distraction. He said lightly, Well, its okay. Ill wait here for the results.
Ellis was puzzled.
He became even more baffled, Uncle, youve come all this way to see Mrs. Olsen, and now youre just going to wait here for the results?
Uncle Olsens 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 didnt 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.

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 Olsens ashen face, he dared not inquire and could only cough lightly, Then
The medical team from Clance will arrive a bit later. Ill be right here. You go in and stay with her, said Uncle Olsen, lifting his head to reveal a resolute and decisive air. Dont 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. Olsens 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. Olsens 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 Taylors demeanor and promptly said eagerly, Why doesnt Mr. Olsen come in? He
Ellis explained, Uncle wont be coming in; after all, Mrs. Olsen is a lady, and he doesnt 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.
Thats 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 hes still a step behind in front of Uncle Olsen.
Thats 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

bodyguards following, one could easily tell his status was extraordinary.
Isla and Jake exchanged a look, both seeing the anxiety in each others eyes, but it was an excellent
opportunity.
Jake swallowed hard and immediately stepped forward with Isla, Excuse me, are you Uncle Olsen?
Uncle Olsen glanced at them, his gaze skipping over Jake and landing directly on Isla.
With a delicate appearance, it was hard to tell whether Isla resembled Mrs. Olsen or Taylor, but her demeanor alone made it clear she was a child reared by Mrs.
Olsen.
His expression softened a bit. Are you Isla?
Isla, flattered, nodded, Uncle Olsen, would you like come in? My mother is inside, and theres a lounge outside where you can sit and have a cup of tea.
No.
Uncle Olsens gaze remained fixated on Isla as if
looking at her, yet it was also as if he was trying to see Mrs. Olsen through her.

But after a long while, he only felt that Isla fell short compared to Mrs. Olsen.
She looked like a bad imitation.
She had a fine appearance and temperament, but once she opened her mouth, the fear in her eyes betrayed her, unlike Mrs. Olsens outward indifference and inherent pride.
Isla glanced at Jake, and he immediately said, Uncle
Olsen
Following Islas lead in addressing him, and seeing that Uncle Olsen didnt object, Jake grew somewhat bolder. How long do you plan to stay in Oceanion? You
havent arranged accommodations yet, right? Let me help you with that.

Uncle Olsen glanced at Isla again, then said, Alrig Ill stay until Jodie wakes up.
The name Jodie confused Isla and Jake for a mom
before they realized he was referring to Mrs. Olsen,
Jodie South.
Jake asked, What about now?
Ill stay here for a while.

Uncle Olsen lowered his gaze as if he had no intention
of speaking further.
Jake immediately said, Then Ill stay with you. Isla, you go inside and keep Mrs. Olsen company.
Isla also wanted to stay and keep Uncle Olsen company, knowing that pleasing him was far more advantageous than attending to the one close to death on the sick bed.
But she understood that Uncle Olsen was here
because of Mrs. Olsen.
So she nodded and was about to enter when Uncle Olsen suddenly said, If theres anything you need help with, just ask.
A light sparked in Islas eyes, Of course.
Then she shot a glance at Jake, who understood something and gave her an almost imperceptible nod.
Proudly, Isla entered the door, the black-clad bodyguard not barring her from entering the room.
Seeing that Lewis and Keira truly had no intention of greeting Uncle Olsen, Ellis promptly said, Ahem, Lewis, Uncle Olsen is here. Arent you going to take

your wife to greet him?
On hearing this, Lewis pondered for a moment, then
nodded, Alright.
