244 Stubborn Five
Lewis was striding toward his car at this moment.
He looked down at his phone.
On the phone was a live broadcast from the entrance
of the Olsen residence.
Madeleines mother had driven Keira into a corner!
Lewis was very anxious, so much so that when he heard the drivers words, without a second thought, he
drove away immediately!
Now, the reporters on the phone were giving Keira a
hard time.
Mrs. Horton, Miss Madeleines mother is pleading with you, wont you say even a word?
Thats a human life; how can you be so cold-hearted?
Do you and Mr. Horton really plan to leave Miss
Madeleine to die?
Since it was agreed that Miss Madeleine would be married to Mr. Horton, why did Mr. Horton have a change of heart? Was it because you intervened? Mrs.

Horton, dont you feel guilty? In the dead of night,
dont you suddenly feel scared?
The reporters questions were becoming more and more tricky.
Comments of abuse also swept across the live
broadcast chat.
Dammit! A mistress is taking over?
I feel that since you made a promise, you should keep it. How can you abandon her when she is mentally unwell?
Isnt this the very definition of biting the hand that feeds you?
If Miss Madeleine finds out when she grows up that the person she saved would treat her this way, I wonder if the younger her would still save him!
A real-life version of The Farmer and the Viper story!
Thats not even the most important thing! Isnt the most important thing about Mrs. Horton? She doesnt say a word. Is she planning to play dead?

The publics accusations made Lewis press the accelerator furiously.
He knew these comments wouldnt hurt Keira. Her mental resilience had always been strong, but even so, he didnt want her to be hurt in the slightest.
He ran red lights and sped all the way.
He wanted to tell the reporters it wasnt like that at all.
He wanted to help clear Keiras name!
But just as he was turning a corner, Keiras distinct, cool voice emerged from the live broadcast.
Since youre all so interested in our private life as a couple, then today Ill take the time to explain it thoroughly here.
Upon hearing this, Lewis frowned.
Keira was always a woman of few words, not good at explaining. Was she overwhelmed by the pressure today?
As he was pondering, he heard her voice again.
Have you ever played house?

All the reporters were slightly stunned, and then
someone answered, Yes.
When you played house and told a girl you would marry her when you grew up, did you actually marry her when you grew up?
The reporters were instantly at a loss.
Someone reacted quickly, obviously someone arranged by the Horton familys first branch. You cant say it like that. We were just playing, but Mr. Horton and Miss Madeleines situation is clearly different. Miss Madeleine saved Mr. Hortons life!
Keira looked at that reporter and smiled. Yes, she saved his life, didnt she? So, is it because she saved Mr. Hortons life that she developed depression?
That reporter was speechless.
Keira then lowered her eyes and continued. Five years ago when Mr. Horton found her, Madeleine was being beaten by her mother and father, wanting to sell her to someone else as their daughter-in-law. Mrs. Davis, at that time, you certainly didnt have the love for your daughter that you do now.
This statement modo Madeleines mother choke un

and then she wailed. I just wanted her to get married.
I didnt want her to die!
Do you know how Madeleines mental illness came
about?
Keira looked at everyone around her. Youre all only concerned about whether Mr. Horton abandoned her
or not, but have you ever thought about the cause of her illness? Its because of the abuse she suffered from her parents that she lost all hope in life! Lewis could have saved her, but he was merely her medicine! Since when did a persons death cease to be about holding the executioner accountable and instead become about questioning the medicine?
The reporters were stunned into silence once again.
Keira stepped forward. Madeleine has been suffering from severe depression and autism for five years. If she had gotten married, what state would she be in now? Either living her days in a daze or she would have already jumped off a building, wouldnt she? Instead of, as of now, rationally telling everyone that she will die
without Mr. Horton!
All the reporters and people watching the live

broadcast fell silent.
Keira continued. Over these years, the amount of money Madeleine spent on treatments both at home and abroad is something an ordinary family cannot
afford! And when she chose to return to her country, Mr. Horton established a mental hospital here for her! During these five years, whenever she called, Mr. Horton was there at her beck and call I ask you all,
who can do that?
Now, because Madeleine is gravely ill and attempted suicide, you blame Mr. Horton for the medicine not being administered in time. Why dont you ask the assailants why they hurt her, making her end up like
this?!
Keira suddenly turned her head towards Madeleines mother. You repeatedly claim its for Madeleines own good, but are you even fit to be a mother?
Madeleines mother swallowed hard. I dont care, my daughter is about to die now, and its because of Mr. Horton. You say I abused my daughter, do you have evidence? Without evidence, dont talk nonsense
here!

Keira scoffed. Everyone on your street knows about you and your husband abusing your child. Just ask any elder, and well find out, right? Evidence is something the police will look for.
Madeleines mother was caught off guard once again.
But youve reminded me, Im going to call the police now and report you for abusing Madeleine, resulting in her mental disorder!
Having said that, Keira took out her phone and dialed the police in front of the reporters.
Holly arrived quickly, filed a case, and arrested
Madeleines mother.
Madeleines mother was terrified, but thinking of the money promised by the Horton familys first branch, her eyes lit up again as she angrily shouted, Mrs. Horton, by doing this, are you and Mr. Horton plannin to wash your hands of my daughter completely? Theres a saying, If you save someone, save them all the way. Dont you understand? My daughter saved his life. How can he fall in love with you, a mistress!
The other reporters turned their attention back to

Keira, also asking, Mrs. Horton, what you said just now made sense, but the problem now is that the medicine cant stop. What are you and Mr. Horton planning to do?
Keira looked at the reporter who had spoken, her gaze
resolute.
Meanwhile, Lewis suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly pulled the car over to the roadside.
After screeching to a halt, he heard the cool voice of a woman coming from the camera.
Since everyone is here, Ill clarify right now. Im not the mistress, Mr. Horton and I are in a relationship out of free will, and he never dated Madeleine after
growing up. He just wanted to help her with her treatment. As for the issue of the medicine that concerns everybody the most
Keira looked toward the camera, her gaze resolute as she stared straight ahead.

Dont worry; the medicine wont stop because Mr. Horton has chosen to divorce me.
Lewiss heart clenched tightly, and he suddenly found
it hard to breathe!

She said it
She announced it in front of the reporters.
Lewis slammed his fist onto the steering wheel.
Shed saved his face, made everyone think he was a good man
But he never wanted to be a good man!
Lewis watched as the reporters left satisfied, as the comments in the live feed praised them
After the live broadcast ended, he received a text
message from her. Meet me at the courthouse at 2 p.m. Bring all your documents this time.:
Lewis stared at the message, his eyes bloodshot, and despite the heartache, he managed to reply, Alright.
He didnt remember how he drove the car home.
He parked the car in the parking lot and saw the driver of the Hortons old house waiting there. Mr. Horton, why couldnt you wait for me and let me finish what I was saying?
The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed. Its because of that courier. The old master

insisted I tell you that its the courier youve been
looking forward to and the one youve been waiting for, sent by a person to Stubborn Five!

Lewis was stunned.
He looked at the driver incredulously, You said
