202 Regret
Keira watched coldly as Isla walked away, and after a moments thought, she followed her.
She had never been a saint, and certainly not worried about Isla. She just wanted to see how things would end for her.
Seeing her heading toward the emergency room, Lewis immediately followed and, after taking a few steps, turned back to Uncle Olsen and asked, Do you want
to come and see as well?
Uncle Olsens gaze deepened, and he glanced a few times in the direction of the ward.
After pondering for a moment, he finally said, No, Ill wait here for you to come back.
He had just messed up, troubling Mrs. Olsens real daughter for the sake of Isla, and owed her an apology. Lewis nodded and, without further attention to him,
chased after Keira toward the ward.
Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis.

Ellis immediately understood and made an OK
gesture with his hand. Got it, Ill follow. Dont worry, wont let Mrs. Olsens real daughter be bullied!
As Keira arrived in front of the emergency room, she saw a few journalists hiding in a corner waiting for the outcome and the follow-up, along with Poppy and Holly.
Just as she was wondering where the members of the Horton family were, she heard the sound of a slap coming from the staircase nearby.
Aloud smack rang out distinctly.
Keira paused just a step, then took two steps back and through the glass window saw Oliver, Melissa, and Jake there.
Nathan must have realized something was wrong an left immediately to avoid further embarrassment.
Oliver was beside himself with anger, not satisfied wit slapping Jake once, he raised his hand to hit him again but was stopped by Melissa. Why are you hitting him? It was Islas fault!

sneered. I said from the start, didnt agree to this marriage! Isla had a scheming mind, and you insisted on having Jake marry her. Look whats happened now!
Melissa wailed. Yes, disagreed at first too, but when Mrs. Olsen mentioned her connections in Clance, didnt you agree as well? Without your consent, how could Jake have married her?!
Oliver glared at her, If had known she was the illegitimate daughter, would have never agreed! In the end, its you and Jake who cant judge peoples
character!
Melissa wiped her tears. No one wanted this to happen. Islas intentions were so deep. Not to mention Jake and I, didnt you fail to see through her too? Why do you only blame us when something goes wrong?
Oliver scoffed. Who else should blame if not you? Youve completely humiliated the first branch of the family! Before, when we learned Lewiss wife was Keira, was quite relieved, thinking that our branch had finally one-upped him! Jake, this useless son of mine, had finally done me a great favor. He married Miss Olsen while Lewis could only marry the Olsen

He patted his own face angrily. Youve lost all my face!
Melissa immediately grasped his hand. Oliver, dont say that. Jake will surely help you turn things around. Dont be angry n
Oliver, however, yanked his hand away and looked directly at Jake. Him? A waste will always be a waste, and he has shown no progress through the years! He cant even begin to compare to his sister!
Leaving that remark behind, Oliver turned and went downstairs.
His heartless manner left Melissa covering her face as she started weeping, then began to slap Jake. You finally had a chance to stand out, letting your dad come home and sleep tonight, and now, he certainly wont come back! Jake, why are you so unlucky? You never able to satisfy him no matter what you do
Jakes eyes were bloodshot, his head hanging low, like child who had done something wrong. He stared blankly at Melissa 202 Regret
Melissa cried out, You must work hard! You must surpass that illegitimate daughter! You cant let your father look down on us! No, it seems like that

Melissa was so anxious that she was running in circles, making Jakes eyes turn a deeper red.
He grabbed Melissas hand. Mom, dont be afraid Even if she comes back, she wont be able to stir up any trouble. Shes just a girl, and sooner or later, shell be married off. Im my fathers only son!

Isla was in critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.
After pondering for a moment, Melissa sneered. Fine. Then you stay here. Ill have someone send over the divorce agreement. If she survives and comes out of the operating room, you make her sign it. If she dies, itll all be for the best!
Leaving behind such heartless words, Melissa strode away.
Jake stood there alone, his fists clenched. He then opened the door in the hallway, and the moment the door opened, he saw Keira.

Before he could finish, Keira walked past him without a glance, heading straight for the door of the operating room.
Jake stared dully at her from behind, and a surge of regret and frustration suddenly filled his chest, packing it tight.
