The elderly woman in Keira’s arms was looking pale, with her arms hanging limply…
At the sight, Lewis wasted no time and strode toward them!
Though he appeared calm, he was filled with anxiety!
The elderly woman was the one person he was closest to in this world…
Over the past few years, her health had been deteriorating. Their family doctor had even hinted to old Mrs. Horton that she might not make it through the year…
He couldn’t lose her!
When Keira saw him approaching, she drew her own conclusions. However, it wasn’t the right time to discuss it. She quickly blurted out, “Granny just had a heart attack. She has used all her nitroglycerin pills and urgently needs medication”.
After a pause, she added, “She’ll be okay once she gets the medicine.”
Lewis nervously pressed his lips together.
He reached out to take the elderly woman from Keira and darted into the Horton family home without looking back.
Keira didn’t follow inside; her leg was still being held by Poppy.
Isla watched Lewis from behind with uncertainty. A strong feeling of unease stirred her. “Is that really old Mrs. Horton?
“How could old Mrs. Horton be with Keira?! That woman is the grandmother of Keira’s husband!”
Poppy released Keira and stood up, dusting off her clothes as she said, “Mr. Horton looks so worried. He’s probably afraid of causing a real disaster. If someone were to die here, the Horton family won’t look good when word gets out…”
She shot Keira a spiteful glare, “She’s banking on this to rush into the Horton house while carrying that decrepit old woman, isn’t she?”
Isla frowned.
It could be.
Keira’s punk husband couldn’t possibly be Lewis, right?
She was probably overthinking…
Just then, the front door of the Horton house opened, and Jake stepped out.
Isla’s eyes lit up as she said playfully, “Jake, you could have just waited for me at the parking lot. Why did you come all the way to the front door?”
Jake was clearly irritated.
Isla had texted him that she was almost there but carrying too many gifts and asked him to come pick her up. He waited in the parking lot for a long time, and when she didn’t show up, he came out to check.
His eyes fell on Keira, and he paused mid-step.
But in the next moment, his previous impatience melted away, replaced by a softness. He said gently to Isla, “Well, it’s your first visit. I was afraid you might get lost.”
