202 Regret

Keira watched coldly as Isla walked away, and after a moment’s thought, she followed her.

She had never been a saint, and certainly not worried about Isla. She just wanted to see how things would

end for her.

Seeing her heading toward the emergency room, Lewis immediately followed and, after taking a few steps, turned back to Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you want

to come and see as well?”

Uncle Olsen’s gaze deepened, and he glanced a few times in the direction of the ward.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “No, I’ll wait here for you to come back.”

He had just messed up, troubling Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter for the sake of Isla, and owed her an apology.

Lewis nodded and, without further attention to him,

chased after Keira toward the ward.

Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis.

Ellis immediately understood and made an “OK”

gesture with his hand. “Got it, I’ll follow. Don’t worry, I won’t let Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter be bullied!”

As Keira arrived in front of the emergency room, she saw a few journalists hiding in a corner waiting for the outcome and the follow-up, along with Poppy and Holly.

Just as she was wondering where the members of the Horton family were, she heard the sound of a slap coming from the staircase nearby.

A loud “smack” rang out distinctly.

Keira paused just a step, then took two steps back and through the glass window saw Oliver, Melissa, and Jake

there.

Nathan must have realized something was wrong an left immediately to avoid further embarrassment.

Oliver was beside himself with anger, not satisfied wit slapping Jake once, he raised his hand to hit him again but was stopped by Melissa. “Why are you hitting him? It was Isla’s fault!”
