190 Guilty Conscience
Isla was stunned by the accusation. What? How could you do that?!
Keira sneered and looked at her. Whats wrong? Feeling guilty?
This remark made both Jake and Melissa turn their gaze towards Isla.
Isla immediately retorted, Guilty about what? Jake is my only man. Could the child possibly belong to someone else? Its just that I find you people to be so cruel. Not only have you harmed my child, but now youre treating the dead baby like this
She clutched her stomach and cried. My child, its all my fault for not protecting you. Theyve taken your life and now theyre subjecting you to such humiliation. I dont know if you can feel the pain Its all because Mommy is useless
Jakes eyes also reddened as he clenched his fists. tightly, resentfully glaring at Keira and Lewis.
Keira couldnt help but draw her lips in a thin line. An

embryo over a month old is just a cluster of cells, its pain receptors havent even developed yet. Isla, stop putting on an act here
Upon hearing this, Islas expression stiffened slightly, then she bit her lip and looked fiercely at Keira.
She was filled with hatred!
Indeed, she had chosen to terminate the pregnancy herself, just to prevent Jake from actually following through with the amniocentesis.
Moreover, with the support of the Clance Olsen family, it was clear they would take her side. Naturally, she should take this opportunity to firmly grasp Keira.
If she could oust Keira from the Horton family and even assist the first branch of the family in wresting control of the Horton Group from Lewis, it would be
great.
But she hadnt anticipated that Lewis would go so far to protect that bitch!
In the hospital room, Lewis had already gained the upper hand, entirely in control of the situation.
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from the

doorway. Lewis, you cant be too overbearing in your actions! Youve taken control of Mrs. Olsens room, and now you want to control Islas room as well? Do you really take my Uncle Olsen for decoration?
Ellis appeared at the doorway, followed by several bodyguards, ready to confront the bodyguards of Lewis.
Seeing him, Islas eyes lit up, and she immediately cried out, Mr. Olsen, youve arrived just in time. You must stand up for me!
After she spoke, she burst into tears again. Keira, youre simply too malicious. Youve bedridden my mom and caused me such harm. Youre here for revenge, arent you? Its all because my mom and I dont have a strong backing, so you do whatever you please!
She sobbed, looking very pitiable.
Ellis immediately ordered, Bring Keira to me!
Lewis stood in front of Keira, Id like to see who
dares!
Ellis stared him down, Uncle Olsen said, hes decided to protect Mrs. Olsens daughter. Are you sure you

want to be his enemy?
Lewis frowned upon hearing that.
He said coolly, Tell your Uncle Olsen that Im not interested in Isla. I am just stating the facts. The DNA test results will be out in three hours at the earliest. I also hope he wont be here sheltering the instigator by
that time.
With that statement, Lewis took Keira by the hand and strode out of the room.
Nathan tried to call him back. You get back here!
Regrettably, Lewis acted as if he hadnt heard a word.
Nathan was livid. Ungrateful creature! Youre far too arrogant!! We wont tolerate this!
Ellis blocked his path at the doorway. Lewis, you can leave, but not her! This illegitimate daughter has bullied Isla, and today she must answer for it!
With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards behind him moved forward to apprehend Keira but were stopped by Lewiss bodyguards.
A standoff ensued between the two sides.

Ellis looked on coldly. Lewis, are you sure you want to have a fight here?
This was a Horton family hospital, and Mrs. Olsens ward wasnt far away.
These bodyguards were all veterans. If a fight broke out, it would be destructive and could affect Mrs.
Olsen
Keira stepped forward, about to say something when Lewiss gaze darkened. I said, the truth will come out in three hours. Ellis, cant you even wait that long?
Ellis glanced into the room and spoke slowly, Lewis, I think youre mistaken about something. The results in three hours dont matter to us. We have always been protecting Mrs. Olsens biological daughter! Not the Horton familys grandson!
The implication was clear.
No matter whose child was in Islas womb, Uncle Olsen
didnt care.

This was getting troublesome
Uncle Olsen was ruthless and often unreasonable. If he said he would protect Mrs. Olsen, then he would surely protect only Isla. Even if it turned out Islas child wasnt from the Horton family, he probably wouldnt let Keira off easily.
Lewiss gaze darkened. What does Uncle Olsen want?
Ellis then looked at Keira. Miss Olsen lost her child, so Keira must do something to atone Keira, my uncle is just downstairs. Do you dare to come with me to meet
him?
Impossible.
Lewis looked at him. Islas child has nothing to do with Keira, and I wont let you take her away!
Ellis scoffed. Lewis, thats not up to you.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense, and it seemed as though a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.
At this critical juncture, Keira suddenly stepped forward. She looked at Lewis. Ill go with him.
