187 Entering the Ward
Keira could feel Lewis and Uncle Olsen on the right side of the ward, so after leaving the room, she merely glanced briefly in that direction before heading left.
Therefore, when Uncle Olsen saw the door open, he also glanced briefly and then fixed his gaze on her from behind, narrowing his eyes.
Keiras silhouette was tall and straight, giving off a bamboo-like quality.
That quality resembled Mrs. Olsen closely.
Uncle Olsen had long heard of the illegitimate
daughter because she grew up by Mrs. Olsens side and bore Mrs. Olsens shadow.
Isla just resembled an empty shell.
Yet merely the silhouette of Keira seemed to bear a striking similarity to Mrs. Olsens elegance.
His greedy gaze stayed on her a bit longer.
He wanted to see in Keira what Mrs. Olsen looked like when she was young, but unfortunately, it had been over twenty years since he had seen Mrs. Olsen, and

her face had become blurry in his memory.
Uncle Olsen very prudently withdrew his gaze.
After Keira took a left turn into the staircase entrance, she then answered the call, asking, Holly, whats up?
The call was from Holly Sims.
The fact that she kept calling even after being hung up on once meant there must be something important.
Holly said, Connor Hills trial verdict is out. Hes been convicted of premeditated murder, so hes been given a suspended death sentence. Hes likely to be transferred to prison tomorrow, and after that, he wont be our responsibility anymore. Have you really been unable to get him to reveal the secret about you?
Keira lowered her gaze. Thanks for the heads you delay it for another two days for me?
C
She always had this intuition that the secret Connor was about to divulge was of paramount importance to
her.
Holly immediately said, No problem. Ill apply for a delayed transfer, postponing it to the day after

tomorrow. But Keira, Isla is carrying Connors child. As long as this child exists, for the childs future glory and
wealth, he definitely wont speak. We cant pry mouth open.
Ill think of another way.
After hanging up, Keira narrowed her eyes.

Then she calmly pushed the door open and headed
back.
Ellis thought Uncle Olsen would give her a hard time, and so did Lewis, which was why they hadnt wanted her to leave, but in truth, she wasnt afraid at all.
The word afraid simply wasnt in her dictionary.
To her surprise, Lewis was standing alone at the door while Uncle Olsen was nowhere to be seen.
Keira walked over and arched an eyebrow. Where i
he?
Hes gone to wait in the car for news, Lewis said.
Someone who got wind of him coming to Oceanion tried to get cozy with him, so he left to avoid disturbing the peace of the ward, Lewis elaborated.

Keira nodded, then said, Ill stay here to watch over things, and if you have business to take care of, go ahead.
Lewis took her hand. Then Ill go work in the car downstairs. Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
Keira entered the ward and saw Mrs. Olsen still deep in slumber, so she found a spot on the nearby sofa to
sit down.
The night deepened, and the ward gradually quieted
down.
Leaning back in the chair, Keira unwittingly fell asleep.
When the morning sunshine flooded the ward, she jolted awake and checked the time-just six in the morning. She had managed to sleep for about four hours the night before.
Keira first looked toward Mrs. Olsen and saw her expression was still calm, seemingly dreaming about something as her brows were slightly knitted together.
Keira then turned to Taylor.
The sight made her startle!

187 Entering the Ward
In just one night, Taylors hair had gone half white! His face was haggard, his eyes sunk in, clearly having not slept all night, with the whites bloodshot.
His mouth was alarmingly pale with cracks showing traces of blood, and in a single night, his face had sprouted a fine stubble. He had aged considerably.
But he seemed unconcerned, still gripping Mrs. Olsens hand tightly, occasionally damping her lips with a water-soaked cotton swab.
Watching this, Keira felt a stir in her heart.
She couldnt help but pour Taylor a glass of water.
Taylor looked at the hand that suddenly appeared before him, paused slightly, and followed it to see Keira, but this time, he didnt burst into anger.
He silently accepted the water and only took a co of sips before placing it aside.
Noise also came from outside the door.
Isla came in carrying breakfast and, upon seeing Keir and Taylor, her pupils shrank slightly. She then said, Dad, you havent rested or eaten anything all-night. I bought you breakfast. Please try to eat a little.

Taylor gestured dismissively and said, Theres no need.
His response immediately surprised both Isla and
Keira.
It turned out that, overnight, Taylors voice had become incredibly hoarse
If it wasnt for the few sips of water he just had, he probably wouldnt have been able to speak at all now.
Seeing this, Keira couldnt help but comfort him. You should relax; Mrs. Olsen will be all right. When she wakes up, she surely wont want to see you like this.
Isla followed suit. Dad, please eat something.
But Taylor continued to gesture no. Shirley is unconscious and cant eat. I wont eat until she wakes
up.
He was very firm.
Having not interacted with him much and not being very close, Keira didnt say more.
She went outside, preparing to go downstairs to get breakfast from Lewis.

Lewis had just sent her a message, saying that breakfast was ready.
But before she could go downstairs, Isla suddenly followed her and asked, Keira, doesnt it bother you that Dad isnt eating anything at all?
Keira frowned and ignored her.
But Isla quickly blocked her way and confronted her. The Olsen family raised you, and this is how you treat Dad? Thats utterly heartless and ungrateful!
Keira looked at her coldly. Isla, dont think that because Mrs. Olsen fainted, I wont hit you.
Hearing this, Isla didnt step back as usual but instead suddenly moved closer to Keira, with a malicious glint in her eyes.
Downstairs, two stretch vehicles were parked in the parking lot.
Lewis was sitting in one of them.
He had taken a short rest of a few hours last night and now had the breakfast he bought arranged inside the
car

He had sent a message to Keira. If she woke up, she could come downstairs. She replied just now saying she would be right down, but he had yet to come.
This prompted him to get out of the car.
Uncle Olsen was sitting in the other vehicle.
He hadnt slept all night, always watching the position of the third-floor hospital ward. He too had just gotten out of the car to stretch his legs.
Upon encountering each other in the parking lot, they exchanged a glance.

But before he could speak, a piercing scream suddenly came from Mrs. Olsens room on the third floor!!
Lewis and Uncle Olsen were both taken aback.
Immediately, the two men, in unison, turned their heads and hurried up the stairs!!
What happened in the ward?
Could Mrs. Olsen have woken up?!
Neither of them waited for the elevator but instead

climbed directly to the third floor via the stairs.
They quickly arrived outside the hospital room, then they heard a voice from inside, Blood, so much
blood
The pupils of both Lewis and Uncle Olsen shrank slightly. Without any further hesitation, they immediately pushed the door open and entered!
