How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 32: Chapter 32

The room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Tom Davis, then at Jake Horton.

Jake Horton looked utterly astonished.

Could it be… this hospital room was arranged by my uncle?

Poppy Hill was also stunned, but quickly recovered and smiled, “Young Master Jake, so this hospital room was arranged by Mr. Horton at your request…”

Jake Horton’s expression stiffened.

...

But Tom Davis laughed, “It was Miss Olsen who asked the boss to arrange it. Young Master Jake, did you also ask the boss?”

Jake Horton wished he could find a hole to crawl into!

He explained incoherently, “I made a lot of phone calls, asked several people, they said they would help… I misunderstood.”

Isla Olsen felt embarrassed!

She clenched her fists tightly, for the first time feeling that Jake Horton was not so unapproachable…

The awkward atmosphere was finally broken by Mrs. Olsen, who coughed a few times and said to Tom Davis, “Thank you, Mr. Horton, we are very comfortable here. When I’m feeling better, I will visit Old Mrs. Horton.”

However, Tom Davis said, “You’re comfortable, Miss Olsen isn’t worried, and that makes our old lady happy.”

Being in business, who couldn’t hear that this remark was in praise of Keira Olsen?

A slight heaviness was felt in the hearts of a few in the room.

It was unexpected that Old Mrs. Horton held Keira Olsen in such high regard.

Only Mrs. Olsen truly felt happy.

Keira being alone outside always worried her, but with their delicate statuses, she felt it improper to appear too close… Now that Old Mrs. Horton genuinely cared for her, she could rest easy!

Keira Olsen was slightly surprised.

She hadn’t expected that Lewis Horton was the one who had helped.

She looked at Poppy Hill, a slight smirk forming at her lips.

The taunting was clear to see!

Poppy Hill was infuriated by her attitude, “You little brat, what’s there to be proud of? Don’t think you’re something special just because you have someone backing you up!”

“Shut up!” Taylor Olsen barked, “My wife is ill and needs to rest, what are you barking about here? Go home!”

Poppy Hill choked up, showing a look of grievance, “Taylor, I… ”

“Go!”

Poppy Hill’s face turned red with anger, she glared fiercely at Keira Olsen, then turned and ran out.

After she had left, Keira Olsen then turned to Mrs. Olsen, “Madam, how did you sleep last night?”

Mrs. Olsen, upon hearing this, unconsciously gripped the small medicine bottle hidden under the blanket and slowly said, “I slept very well, it’s been a long time since I’ve slept so well.”

“That’s good.”

Keira Olsen didn’t elaborate further, only nodding to her, “I’ll be going now.”

“Okay.”

When Keira Olsen and Tom Davis left the room, they saw Lewis Horton standing in the hallway.

The man was dressed in a suit and trousers, outlining his long, straight legs, looking both genteel and restrained.

He leaned against the wall, looking down at his phone, his black broken hair hiding his sharp eyes and brows, his side profile sharp and cold in the light.

Seeming to hear the noise, the man turned his head, his eyes narrow and deep like ice, his thin red lips slightly parting, “Great Grandmother was worried and insisted I come and see for myself.”

Though his words were distant, his deep, pleasant voice warmed Keira Olsen’s heart. @@novelbin@@

She smiled sincerely, “Thank you.”

The girl’s amorous eyes were clear and pure, with an unintentional charm.

The smile at the corner of her lips was even more enchanting, momentarily dazzling Lewis Horton.

Then, a voice came from the room:

“Aunt, since you’re alright, I’ll be going now.”

“Okay. Isla, see him out.”

The hospital room door opened, and Jake Horton and Isla Olsen came out.

They caught sight of Lewis Horton and Keira Olsen at first glance.

Isla Olsen instantly felt as if she were facing a great enemy, her gaze darting between the two, trying to guess the nature of their relationship.

Jake Horton’s expression also darkened, and he asked subconsciously, “Uncle, what are you doing here?”

Lewis Horton’s face showed a trace of interest, “I don’t seem to need to report my whereabouts to you.”

His casual words seemed to carry an invisible pressure that assaulted the senses.

Jake Horton’s palms began to sweat immediately, “That’s not what I meant.”

He took a deep breath and looked towards Keira Olsen.

The girl’s face had a kind of reckless beauty.

Lewis Horton also had a fine appearance.

Standing together, they seemed like a match made in heaven!

A strong sense of jealousy surged in Jake Horton’s heart, and he couldn’t help but speak again, “Miss Olsen, you have been taking care of Great Grandmother in the hospital, doesn’t your husband mind?”

Keira Olsen: ?

She glanced at Lewis Horton, her smile carrying a hint of sarcasm, “He probably doesn’t mind.”

Jake Horton’s face changed dramatically.

Before he could say anything else, Lewis Horton suddenly spoke, “Heading back to the room? Grandmother is waiting for you.”

Back…

Keira Olsen paused slightly.

It had been a long time since she heard that word.

Because she had no home.

Looking down, she smiled lightly, “Let’s go back.”

They turned and left.

Jake Horton’s gaze was sinister, staring intently at Keira Olsen’s receding figure.

For a moment, he felt an impulsive desire to snatch her back at all costs!!

But his arm was caught by Isla Olsen, “Jake, I will definitely help you get Dr. South on your side…”

Jake Horton, as if his rationality finally returned, responded, “Alright.”

“Then I’ll escort you downstairs.”

“Okay.”

After seeing her off, Isla Olsen felt a deep sense of crisis.

When she returned to the room, she saw Mrs. Olsen getting up to move about, her eyes flickering.

She approached the bed and pretended to arrange the bedding, then exclaimed, “Mom, why is there a bottle of medicine on your bed?”

Taylor Olsen frowned, “Isn’t that the non-warranty medicine Keira gave? Shirley, why did you pick it up again!”

Mrs. Olsen explained, “I took one last night. It seemed like the medicine actually worked…”

“How is that possible? It was clearly the sleeping pills that worked!”

Taylor Olsen snatched the medicine bottle away, disdainfully saying, “Who knows where she got those medicines from, you can’t just eat them randomly! Aren’t you afraid of ruining your health?”

Mrs. Olsen hurriedly said, “Don’t throw it away. I won’t take it tonight, let’s see which medicine actually works!”

Taylor Olsen helplessly agreed, “…Alright.”

Soon it was evening.

Aunt South, holding the sleeping pills in her hands, carefully as if she held a miracle cure, watched Mrs. Olsen swallow them before turning off the light and tiptoeing out the door.

The room grew quiet.

Half an hour later, there was still no sound inside.

Aunt South excitedly said, “Young Master Jake, this medicine has literally saved the lady’s life! She hasn’t slept through the night in over twenty years…”

Isla Olsen feigned embarrassment, “Stop saying that, it wasn’t Jake who arranged the room, and today was a big embarrassment…”

Taylor Olsen responded, “Compared to the room, this medicine is the most important! Otherwise, even if Shirley lived in the Presidential Palace, she still wouldn’t sleep. Besides, Jake had helped us a lot, and yet he didn’t flaunt it like Keira Olsen did when she specially brought Tom Davis over to show off, expecting us to be grateful.”

After speaking, he looked disdainfully at the medicine bottle Keira Olsen had given, “Sister South, quickly dispose of this messy medicine, lest Shirley takes it again!”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a long-suppressed bout of violent coughing erupted from the room!
