184 Daddy

Ellis heard this and was a bit dumbfounded, “Huh? You’re at the hospital entrance? Then I’ll come down right away to pick you up…”

After hanging up, he looked toward Lewis and thought to himself, “Lewis, I may have no way to deal with you, but my uncle is coming! Just you wait, after you bullied Mrs. Olsen, you definitely won’t get away with it!”

With that thought, he hurried downstairs.

Nobody in the ward noticed that he had left after making the call, except for Isla.

Seeing Ellis leaving, she immediately came to Jake’s side and asked, “Jake, did Mr. Olsen just say that an elder from his family is coming?”

Jake was slightly startled. “Did he? I didn’t catch that…

He frowned, his mind full of the words Lewis had said, and his gaze unintentionally fell on Isla’s belly. He hesitated before asking, “Is this child really mine?”

Isla’s eyes flickered for a moment.

She had of course heard the conversation between

Lewis and Jake in the ward. She had thought that Jake trusted her, but unexpectedly, Jake asked her that question.

That was clearly a sign of distrust!

Indeed, on the night she and Jake were together, he was drunk and kept calling her Keira…

At this thought, she clenched her fists tightly.

Isla showed a hurt expression. “Jake, what do you mean by this? You can’t possibly be suspecting me, can

you?”

Jake frowned even more. He scrutinized her carefully, seeing nothing but sadness on her face, and then said, “Of course I trust you. My uncle said what he did just because he’s jealous that he can’t have children!”

Isla finally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, “Jus now, when Mr. Olsen was on the phone, I heard him mention Uncle Olsen is coming, Uncle Olsen… isn’t l the head of the Clance Olsen family?”

Jake was surprised, then shook his head. “That can’t be how could someone of his stature come all the way to Clance just to visit your mother in this hospital…”

Although Mrs. Olsen had some connections in Clance, Jake didn’t think they were that significant.

Uncle Olsen, after all, was a big shot in Clance whose smallest actions could shake the entire economic

circle. How could he personally visit Mrs. Olsen?

If Mrs. Olsen had such connections, the Olsen family’s business would have been booming, and if not surpassing the Horton family, it would at least rank among the top in Oceanion.

Isla thought about it and also felt it was unlikely.

She must have thought too much… right?

But if Mrs. Olsen really had such connections, how could she bear to let her marry Jake? Why not introduce her to a bigwig in Clance?!

At this thought, she looked toward the bed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

There were many secrets about Mrs. Olsen that even she didn’t know.

Even Mrs. Olsen’s connections were tightly concealed; if Isla hadn’t threatened her with her life, Mrs. Olsen would never have approached the Horton family, nor
