213 Director Nora
Keira suddenly turned her head, only to see a tall figure wrapped in the cold wind, entering the room.
The weather had turned cold, and the man was wearing a black woolen coat that made him appear tall and straight.
As he entered, his gaze quickly swept over everyone before landing on Keira. He approached her, his voice deep as he asked, How is Mrs. Olsen?
Lewis who had returned.
He had messaged Keira last night, informing her that although his grandmother hadnt yet woken up, her life wasnt in danger, which reassured Keira to remain with
Mrs. Olsen.
Keira answered, Shes been discharged from the
hospital. Dont worry.
Good.
Only then did Lewis turn to look at Oliver and Nathan, his voice grave as he said, I dont need you to worry about my marriage. My wife is my responsibility! Even

without a powerful maternal family to back her up, my support is more than enough!
Nathan sneered. Do you think I want to worry about you? Cold-hearted people like you marry undutiful wives! Your grandmother didnt wake up last night, and we were all here on vigil, yet she was absent!
Lewis explained, Mrs. Olsen was also hospitalized. She was accompanying Mrs. Olsen at the hospital!
Oliver immediately scoffed. Having married into the Horton family, shes now the Hortons
daughter-in-law! Shes only just recognized her mom- does she fear that she wont get an inheritance if her mother dies? How shortsighted! Cant she distinguis between the weight of her mother and her great-grandmother?
Keira clenched her fists tightly. Inheritance?
That was a curse and an insult to Mrs. Olsen!
Her eyes immediately turned icy, and Lewiss gaze became sharp as he said, Shut up!
Nathan frowned. Who are you telling to shut up? Hes your brother!

With a steely look, Lewis retorted, If I hear him insult Mrs. Olsen again, then you had better consider how
his inheritance will be divided.
His heedless demeanor caused Oliver to immediately shut his mouth.
He knew full well that his brother meant what he said!
Fuming, Nathan slapped the armrest of his chair, getting ready to speak when Fiona walked out beaming with joy. Old Mrs. Horton is awake!
At her word, Keira and Lewis immediately left the first branch of the family behind, heading toward Old Mrs.
Hortons bedroom.
There, they saw the little old lady looking radiant from her sleep, smilingly watching the doorway and saying to Lewis, Brat, where did you go?
Lewis immediately walked up to her. I stepped out to
take a phone call.
Oh, okay.
Old Mrs. Horton then turned her gaze to Keira, immediately grabbing her hand. You must be my daughter-in-law, Miss Davis, right? That brat doesnt

know how to cherish someone. If you feel wronged, remember to tell me, and Ill definitely side with you! Dont just walk away in a huff, alright?
Keira was taken aback!
She subconsciously exchanged glances with Lewis, and then both of them simultaneously turned to look at old
Mrs. Horton. Grandma, who are we?
Ah! Brat, Im your mother! Why are you calling me Grandma?
Old Mrs. Horton smacked Lewis lightly.
Lewis was instantly stunned.
He stared blankly at old Mrs. Horton, then suddenly clenched his fist tight.
Old Mrs. Horton then held Keiras hand again, Miss Davis, dont just stand there, sit down. Youre carrying a baby It doesnt matter whether its a boy or a girl. After you give birth, I promise to love them for a lifetime!
Lewiss eyes reddened slightly.
Even though Grandma no longer recognized him, she was still concerned about him.

Just as he was thinking about this, the members of the first branch of the family had already joined them, with Nathan saying, Mother only remembers me
Oliver immediately added, Of course. After all, Dad, youre her only son! She may dote on Lewis, but its only because Lewis is your son
Nathan smiled upon hearing these words.
Over the years, old Mrs. Horton only had eyes for Lewis, her one grandchild, paying no heed to him or the first branch of the family. Unexpectedly, as her mind became muddled, she still harbored him in her
thoughts.
Pushing Lewis aside, Nathan stepped up to old Mrs. Horton, Mom, how are you feeling?
Old Mrs. Horton immediately frowned. Horton?
Werent you dead? How come you are still alive? Did you rise from the grave?
Nathan was dumbfounded.
He twitched the corners of his mouth. Mom, Im
Nathan.
What kind of joke is this?! old Mrs. Horton waved her

hand dismissively, pointing at Lewis as she said. My son is handsome and dashing. How could you be that old codger! Just by looking, one can tell youre up to
no good!
Nathan was shocked.
Everyone in the room struggled to suppress their laughter, except for Keira, who frowned slightly.
The old ladys dementia was getting worse, her memory regressing to when Nathan was young It
seemed that medication was a must now!
With that thought, she took out her phone and prepared to message the person in charge in Clance, when she received a WhatsApp message. Director Nora, hello, were about to arrive at the Hortons in
Oceanion to deliver the medicine!
Locals in called her Director Nora.
Keira breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the medicine would be delivered today.
Just as she had this thought, Selena said, Grandpa, dont be angry. Great-grandma is just ill
At that, Nathan frowned, followed by a sigh. I dont

even know if she can remember me.
Nathan also had feelings for old Mrs. Horton; after all,
she was his own mother.

Moreover, with his father having passed away early, it was his mother who raised him single-handedly. The Horton Group initially started out with his mothers hardware trading business, and later, when Nathan and his mother had differences in company management, she voluntarily stayed at home and stopped intervening in the companys affairs.
Even so, several of the companys veteran figures were
once her subordinates.
It was because of this that old Mrs. Horton held thirty percent of the shares in the Horton Group, as well as peoples respect.
This was why Lewis was able to take control of the Horton Group immediately after returning to the country-it was supported by old Mrs. Horton!
Therefore, Nathan had a love-hate relationship with the old lady.
Nathan looked directly at Selena, That medicine you
spoke of does it really work?

Selena said, Grandpa, up until now, Nora has created fifteen special-effect medicines, and the ones that have been launched have received great responses.
This dementia drug was reportedly studied by her for a very long time
As she spoke, her phone pinged.
Selena glanced at it and immediately exclaimed with joy. Grandpa, the laboratory staff from Clance are at the door. Ill go welcome them in right away!
After saying this, Selena left the room.
Watching her leave, Nathan glanced toward Lewis and Keira, unable to help himself from scoffing. You two better treat Selena well in the future, especially Lewis. She has even managed to procure a
hard-to-find medicine for your great-grandma. Y
owe her a favor!
Keira scoffed. Thats not quite right. Mrs. Horton is just Lewiss great-grandma. Isnt she also Selenas great-grandma?
She truly found it amusing.
Nathan immediately glared at her. Such disrespect!

speaking!
Oliver immediately said, Dad, dont be angry. I think Lewiss wife feels youre biased toward Selena
Keira, if you could be like Selena and find special medication for your grandma, I would be biased toward you as well, Nathan scoffed. But you, with neither connections nor family background, can you do that?
Keira narrowed her eyes at this. Who says I cant?
With that, Selena ushered in the researchers from the
institute from the doorway.
