Keira’s mouth corner twitched.

Her gaze returned to Mrs. Olsen… She thought of Uncle Olsen’s protection of her, and the madness that seemed ready to create a bloodbath in the hospital for

her sake.

She couldn’t help but wonder if there was something

between Mrs. Olsen and Uncle Olsen.

Should she go see Uncle Olsen then?

Keira hesitated.

Isla would meet someone without any hesitation. She harbored the intention to curry favor, wanting to let

Jake know about her connections, but Keira didn’t

need any of that.

From Taylor and Uncle Olsen’s conversation, it was obvious Mrs. Olsen didn’t want to see Uncle Olsen, so as Mrs. Olsen’s daughter, Keira should certainly side with her mother!

With this thought, Keira replied to the message. “I’m sorry. I’ll go if my mom agrees.”

When she sent this message, she didn’t know why, but there was an inexplicable feeling of happiness in her

But now, she also had a loving mother.

A glimmer appeared in Keira’s eyes. She walked to Mrs. Olsen’s bedside again and took her other hand. Even

though the word was hard to say, she still said it.

“Mom…”

Right after it was spoken, Mrs. Olsen, who had remained motionless on the bed, moved her eyes slightly.

Keira seemed to sense something, and just as she was
