Lewiss eyes were filled with urgency.
When the girl visited the hospital, he was immersed in his pain and grief, not noticing her.
What puzzled him further was why, if Keira was still alive, she wouldnt come to acknowledge him
But today, he ran into her again here.
Her concern for Mrs. Olsen was beyond ordinary; even if she claimed to have been sent by Uncle Olsen, the understanding they shared just now made him suspect
she was Keira!
And then there was the familiar figure
He didnt want to hear her excuses; he just wanted to
see if that face beneath the mask was the one he
yearned for in his dreams!
Unfortunately, his fingers barely touched her before
perceptive Keira stepped back.
Keiras voice was subconsciously cold. Mr. Horton, please show some self-respect!

That voice
Lewiss eyes suddenly reddened. Keira!
Keira paused momentarily.
Had he really suspected her and recognized her?
Before she could speak, Lewis blurted out anxiously, Why dont you come home?
Keira frowned.Mr. Horton, I dont know what youre talking about
You
Just as Lewis wanted to say more, a voice suddenly interrupted him. Keera!
Both turned their heads to see Howard holding Amy as they walked down from a nearby car, his gaze hostile as he scolded Lewis. Who is this? What are you pulling
at each other for here?
Keira raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Lewis looked at him, puzzled.
Howard marched directly in front of Keira. You, a married woman, are behaving so intimately with
another man; what kind of behavior is this? Who is he?

You must explain yourself to me today!
Howards mother also approached from the car. Exactly, Keera, you seem like a decent housewife usually, but who knew youd be so flirtatious in
private? Your face isnt even healed, and here you are seducing another man. How could you do this to my
son?
Lewis was baffled by the couples accusations.
Keira feigned a vulnerable, aggrieved demeanor, Howard, Mom, I didnt
How could you not? We saw everything! You were pulling at each other, nearly embracing! And now you say it didnt happen, how shameless can you be!
Howards mother shoved Keira forcefully and snatched Amy from Howards arms, scoffing. Damaged goods, see? Your mother is so lowly; dont you dare grow up
to be like her!
Amy, not understanding these words, stared
wide-eyed and reached out to Keira. Mommy, hug, hug
Keira stepped forward, snatching Amy from Howards mother. Its not like that. he said I looked like a thief

sneaking around with a mask on, and he told me to
take it off
Howard finally asked, Really?
Keira, seemingly afraid he wouldnt believe her, immediately nodded, Its true
Then, she looked toward Lewis. Mr. Horton, could you please clear this up quickly? Otherwise, my husband and mother-in-law might misunderstand
Lewis gazed at them, dumbfounded.
The woman was wearing the mask and cap, her expression obscured, but Howard and his mother, and even the two-year-old child, didnt seem to be lying.
So, this woman wasnt Keira?
Of course
The DNA matched the body, which was still at home, and he had been the one refusing to believe or face the
truth, forever in denial
Upon closer inspection, Howard realized that even without speaking, Lewis looked a bit dazed as if he wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed, yet his demeanor was undeniably distinguished.

Moreover, to be able to live in this community, he must belong to the smaller circles of Oceanions elite
Howards tone softened slightly. My wifes face is injured and covered in iodine, which cant be washed off right now; shes not presentable, and thats why shes wearing a mask. Dont take any offense, sir.
Lewis looked back at Keira again.
Covered in iodine
Indeed, there was a hint of yellow on the skin that was
exposed beside her mask.
Was that theason s was wearing it?

rich playboy; he would never be interested in you!
Knowing Keeras personality, Keira knew she would surely beg pitifully and desperately, trying to clarify
that she had no such intentions.
Howard hadnt expected the woman who had just shown weakness in front of him to simply glance at him indifferently and then turn around, holding the child and getting into the car.
Howard felt a chill in the depths of his heart from that glance, and then he sneered.
This Keera is always so mysterious. Who knows what
shes up to now!
The group drove to the hotel.
Keira was still pondering how to bring up the topic of sleeping with Amy that night and making Howard leave, when Howard said, You take care of Amy tonight. Ill sleep in Moms room.
Keira was surprised.
She had certainly heard when they were checking in
that Howard had booked two double rooms!
Hes going to share a room with his mom?!

Her hesitant expression made Howards mother snicker, and with a slight lift of her chin, she said,
What are you looking at? At home, Howard always sleeps with me. How come at the hotel, he is supposed
to sleep with you?
Keira was shocked
Howard said with a sneer that didnt quite reach his eyes. Keera, my father passed away early. Since I was a child, Ive always been sharing a room with my mom. Dont make a scene like you do at home. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
Keira felt that there was something indefinably amiss
about the mother and son before her.
She picked up Amy and headed straight for the other hotel room.
Having never cared for children before, Keira looked up information online, only to find that Amy was surprisingly easy to take care of. She was
extraordinarily well-behaved, not crying or fussing, and at the age of two, she could already bathe herself
with a towel.

Once her milk was prepared she would take the bottle to bed herself. Then, with a light pat on her own bottom, she would lull herself to sleep.
Watching her, Keiras heart melted.
The more well-behaved Amy was, the clearer it became that she must have suffered a great deal at home before.
It wouldnt happen again
With her around, she would absolutely not let Amy
suffer any longer!
Keira lay down on the bed and soon started tossing and turning, her thoughts returning to Mrs. Olsen whom she saw at the Olsen family today. For some reason, she always felt that her mothers deep sleep was a bit strange this time.
Even her brows were deeply furrowed.
Keira didnt sleep well at all that night, overly worried
about Mrs. Olsen.
Dawn arrived soon, and today was the day Mrs.
Hortons remains were to be cremated and laid to rest.
Olsen family.

Taylor sent Aunt South away to help Mrs. Olsen pack her things.
Mrs. Olsens body was metabolizing the medication, and she was gaining some strength. She watched Taylor approaching with a syringe, her pupils constricting, No
There, there, Shirley, just take the injection peacefully, and Ill take you to see Keira, he said gently, though his tone was devilish, causing Mrs. Olsen to shake her head, her eyes pleading
Taylor stood in front of her, looking at her with an expression of reluctance. Just bear with it a little longer After today, Ill take you away, and we wont need this medication anymore, alright?
His eyes were tender but sent a chill down Mrs. Olsens spine!
Taylor then mercilessly injected the contents of the syringe into her arm
The cold liquid entered her body, and Mrs. Olsen, already weak, now felt even more powerless
Her eyes reddening, she stared fixedly at Taylor.

Taylor touched her face and kised her lips, Shirley, you are finally completely mine
His hand slowly moved down her body, abruptly seizing her leg
Desire burned in the mans eyes, and his breathing suddenly grew ragged.
A tear slid down Mrs. Olsens cheek.
Taylor paused when he saw it, gently wiping away her tears. You still dont want to be mine? Shirley, when will you accept me
No sooner had these words fallen than his hand
forcefully gripped her chin, forcing her to look up at him. He then fiercely biting her shoulder!
Ugh!
The pain caused Mrs. Olsen to cry out.
Outside, Aunt Souths voice suddenly could be heard, Mr. Olsen, Mrs. Olsen, everything has been placed in the car.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Taylor with a pleading gaze.
Taylor smiled, patting her face, Lets go see Keira first.

After we come back, Ill have you tonight
Mrs. Olsen trembled all over
Her fists clenched tightly as if she could not bear the indignity.
Seeing this, Taylor just smiled and picked her up to
take her outside.
He didnt notice the piece of paper tightly clenched in Mrs. Olsens palm.
