Lewis’s eyes were filled with urgency.”

When the girl visited the hospital, he was immersed in his pain and grief, not noticing her.

What puzzled him further was why, if Keira was still alive, she wouldn’t come to acknowledge him…

But today, he ran into her again here.

Her concern for Mrs. Olsen was beyond ordinary; even if she claimed to have been sent by Uncle Olsen, the understanding they shared just now made him suspect

she was Keira!

And then there was the familiar figure…

He didn’t want to hear her excuses; he just wanted to

see if that face beneath the mask was the one he

yearned for in his dreams!

Unfortunately, his fingers barely touched her before

perceptive Keira stepped back.

Keira’s voice was subconsciously cold. “Mr. Horton, please show some self-respect!”

That voice…

Lewis’s eyes suddenly reddened. “Keira!”

Keira paused momentarily.

Had he really suspected her and recognized her?

Before she could speak, Lewis blurted out anxiously, “Why don’t you come home?”

Keira frowned.”Mr. Horton, I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“You…”

Just as Lewis wanted to say more, a voice suddenly interrupted him. “Keera!”

Both turned their heads to see Howard holding Amy as they walked down from a nearby car, his gaze hostile as he scolded Lewis. “Who is this? What are you pulling

at each other for here?”

Keira raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Lewis looked at him, puzzled.

Howard marched directly in front of Keira. “You, a married woman, are behaving so intimately with

another man; what kind of behavior is this? Who is he?

You must explain yourself to me today!”

Howard’s mother also approached from the car. “Exactly, Keera, you seem like a decent housewife usually, but who knew you’d be so flirtatious in

private? Your face isn’t even healed, and here you are seducing another man. How could you do this to my

son?”

Lewis was baffled by the couple’s accusations.

Keira feigned a vulnerable, aggrieved demeanor, “Howard, Mom, I didn’t…”

“How could you not? We saw everything! You were pulling at each other, nearly embracing! And now you say it didn’t happen, how shameless can you be!”

Howard’s mother shoved Keira forcefully and snatched Amy from Howard’s arms, scoffing. “Damaged goods, see? Your mother is so lowly; don’t you dare grow up

to be like her!”

Amy, not understanding these words, stared

wide-eyed and reached out to Keira. “Mommy, hug, hug…”
