240 She Doesn’t Want Him

Anymore

Horton residence.

Keira’s words didn’t surprise Lewis too much.

She had always been a free-spirited woman.

But Lewis’s chest was still clenched tightly, his mouth agape. He wanted to refuse, to say no, to ask her to wait a little longer for him, and to give him more time. He was sure he could think of a better solution.

But before he could speak, Keira stood up, her gaze fixed on him. “I don’t mean to pressure you, but I’ve thought a lot, and this might be the only way.”

Lewis clenched his jaw, squeezing his fists. “Keira, I…”

“You’ve tried your best, and you chose me. I know that.” Keira looked at him. “But you can’t really watch

her die.”

-Lewis frowned. “I can.”

“You can now,” Keira met his gaze. “But what about the

future?”

Lewis paused.

“You’ll feel guilty about her, and this guilt will be forever buried deep in your heart, Lewis. I don’t want you to bear such pressure.”

The room’s light was very dim.

Keira couldn’t see the expression on Lewis’s face, but she was in a state of dejection, her shoulders drooping slightly.

She said, word by word, “Lewis, I know how terrible this feeling is.”

For the last twenty-two years, she had lived in guilt toward the Olsen family.

She truly believed it was her existence that prevented Taylor and Mrs. Olsen from being together, and although she finally left after more than a decade of slaving away for the Olsen family, the weight in her heart never lifted.

Every time she faced Isla, despite telling herself she wasn’t at fault, that she couldn’t choose her own birth, she still felt guilty and was unable to raise her head in Isla’s presence.
