My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira ended the call and looked toward Lewis, her

eyes astonishingly bright after just shedding tears.

“Mrs. Olsen is awake.” ”

Lewis subconsciously turned to glance in the direction of the bedroom, hesitating, “I…”

“You stay here and take care of Grandma. I’ll go back

and see her.”

Keira didn’t want to make it difficult for him and

simply left those words before walking out.

Lewis didn’t insist and said to Tom, “Take Keira there.”

Sitting in the car, Keira was extremely anxious. She, who always drove at a steady thirty miles per hour, now wished the car could go faster.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the hospital’s inpatient building.

Just as Keira was about to run upstairs after getting out of the car, her steps faltered slightly, and she instinctively glanced toward the parking lot.

She saw that the spot where Uncle Olsen’s car had

been parked was now empty

Presumably, Uncle Olsen had already returned to

Clance?

This thought merely flickered by, and Keira entered the building and sprinted to the third floor.

Standing breathlessly at the doorway, she saw Taylor both crying and laughing as he fed Mrs. Olsen water, while Mrs. Olsen looked at him in resignation.

Hearing footsteps, Mrs. Olsen slightly turned her head, looking toward the door.

For a moment, their gazes locked.

Keira felt as if she were rooted to the spot, unable to

move.

She stared blankly at Mrs. Olsen.

Her emotions were indescribably tumultuous and

complex.

As a child, every time she saw Mrs. Olsen speak gently to Isla, she was envious. She had often thought, how

wonderful would it be if Mrs. Olsen were her mother?

She had never imagined that one day this dream
