My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Lewis knew Keira was trying to comfort him, so he played along and changed the subject.

Keira then began. “I was also abducted when I was a child and was locked up with an older brother…”

Abducted?

Lewis was slightly startled. “How old were you then?”

Keira was about to answer, but Madeleine suddenly coughed, and her body began to twist!

“Oh no! Blood has entered the trachea! Arrange for emergency thoracotomy immediately!”

Madeleine was issued the fifth critical condition

notice.

Lewis’s attention was immediately diverted, and once again, he stared intently at the hospital bed.

Keira no longer had the mind to talk about the past.

It was hard to tell how much time had passed. It could have been three hours or perhaps five, but Madeleine was finally resuscitated.

When the doctor said there was no immediate danger to her life, Keira let out a huge sigh of relief.

She turned her head and saw Lewis’s clenched fists slowly relax…

Keira gently patted the back of his hand in

reassurance.

Lewis then gave a wry smile.

Madeleine had fractures all over her body, and her internal organs were also ruptured in many places. When she was wheeled out of the operating room, she seemed to regain some sense of feeling; even though. she was unconscious, she was flailing her arms and calling out, “Lewis…”

Her thrashing around made it impossible for the

doctor and nurses to continue with the IV.

The doctor held her hand, but she kept calling out, “Big brother…”

She struggled vigorously, trying to grasp something.

The doctor urgently said, “Mr. Horton, we must calm her down or else we won’t be able to save the life we just brought back!”

Lewis gazed at her for a long time and finally stepped forward. “I’m here.”

The uneasy Madeleine immediately calmed down, seemingly sensing his voice, and subconsciously grabbed Lewis’s hand.

Lewis tried to pull his hand away, but Madeleine immediately furrowed her brows. “Big brother…”

Those words reminded him of the little girl curling up in his arms to sleep when they were children.
