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.

Keira hesitated.

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

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!

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
