How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Poppy Hill was terrified.

Only she and her younger brother Finley Hill knew about the switch!

She had never even mentioned it to Isla Olsen.

How did Old Mrs. Horton find out?

Moreover, her words were definite, not a hint of doubt but rather a tone of certainty!

Seeing Keira Olsen and Lewis Horton approaching, her eyes betrayed even more guilt!

She hoped that what she just said hadn’t been overheard by those two, had it?

Old Mrs. Horton then snorted, “I just know that you bully my granddaughter-in-law; you’re a bad woman!”

The old lady’s words were disjointed, evidence of a confused mind…

Poppy Hill breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to Keira Olsen, and handed her the thermos, “Kiera, dear, Mom has brought you chicken soup. You’ve been working so hard looking after Old Mrs. Horton, eat more to nourish yourself…”

The rich aroma of chicken soup wafted from the thermos, but Keira Olsen could only sense mockery.

This was the first time Poppy Hill had ever stewed soup for her.

She asked indifferently, “What do you want?”

Poppy Hill smiled, “It’s still that two percent of Isla’s shares. Old Mrs. Horton values you so much, helping you arrange a hospital room for Mrs. Olsen, and even finding medicine for you. If you ask her, she will definitely agree. Help your sister out, otherwise, in front of Jake Horton, she really can’t hold her head up.”

Keira Olsen’s eyes were cold and her words even colder, “I won’t help.”

Poppy Hill’s face stiffened, unable to pretend any longer, she glared fiercely at Keira Olsen, “How ungrateful! I went through so much trouble to give birth to you, and now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder, you turn your back on me?!”

She sat on the floor with a thump, crying out, “If you don’t help me today, I won’t get up! Everyone, come look! My daughter is an ungrateful wretch! She despises that her mother comes from a low background, so she’s desperately serving Old Mrs. Horton here, trying to become their granddaughter!”

The surrounding medical staff and patients started to whisper and point fingers:

“Miss Olsen seemed like such a decent person, who knew she was like this…”

“So snobbish that she disowns her own mother for wealth, I’ve never seen such a thing in my life!”

“…”

Keira Olsen stood there, expressionless.

She really didn’t want to acknowledge that this tantrum-throwing woman was her mother.

Yet, such a relationship is inescapable!

A sense of powerlessness washed over her.

Keira Olsen sneered lightly, saying indifferently, “Make a scene then. If you disturb others’ rest, security will escort you out.”

After saying that, she walked past Poppy Hill.

Poppy Hill, enraged, stood up abruptly and hurled the thermos of chicken soup fiercely at Keira Olsen!

“Be careful!”

Keira Olsen only heard this deep voice before her entire back was tightly enveloped by a strong embrace!

She turned around in shock and saw Lewis Horton shielding her from behind, his broad back absorbing all the scalding chicken soup…

Steam rose from his black suit.

Keira Olsen’s pupils shrank; she quickly asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

The man’s brows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at Poppy Hill.

Poppy Hill was petrified, waving her hands frantically, “Mr. Horton, I didn’t mean to splash you, I, I…”

In her panic, she turned and ran, soon disappearing from that floor!

No one bothered to pay attention to her; they all crowded around Lewis Horton, escorting him into the hospital room.

Old Mrs. Horton immediately rushed to him, trying to pull off his clothes, “Quickly take it off; let’s see how bad the burn is! Did it blister?”

Lewis Horton calmly removed his jacket and white shirt, revealing his well-built torso.

Keira Olsen instinctively wanted to look away, but then she noticed the burns on his back, the red blistered skin covered in a multitude of tiny blisters…

This was far from “fine”; it was clearly serious!

“Oh, how painful it must be! Kiera, dear, come help with the ointment…”

The old lady snatched the burn medicine from the nurse and stuffed it into Keira Olsen’s hands, pushing her to the back of Lewis Horton, and signaling the others to leave the room, “Let’s not crowd around here, the brat is naked and will be embarrassed!”@@novelbin@@

As she spoke, she leaned close to Keira Olsen and whispered, “Daughter-in-law, I’m leaving it to you!”

Keira Olsen: “…”

The ward was left with only the two of them in an instant.

The air was filled with awkwardness.

Lewis Horton spoke in a low voice, “It’s grandma’s mischief, I’ll ask the nurse to come in…”

“I’ll do it.”

Keira Olsen interrupted him, stepping behind him.

It was dusk, and the golden light spilled from outside the window, casting faint shadows of both figures elongated in the room.

Lewis Horton stood by the window, the halo through the window highlighting his broad and sexy back, with the beltline of his trousers outlining his lean waist.

With just one glance, Keira Olsen lowered her eyes.

Her heart felt like a small stone had been tossed into it, rippling outwards in waves.

Her fingertips coated with ointment, she gently applied it to the areas where he was burned.

The man remained silent from start to finish, his muscles instinctively tensing the moment her fingertips touched his skin.

The girl’s almost imperceptible breath sprayed on his back, like a small flame burning.

Keira Olsen, sensing his tension, asked softly, “Does it hurt?”

Lewis Horton lifted his eyelids, and the window in front of him reflected her facial expression – serious as though handling a priceless antique.

His gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, “It doesn’t hurt.”

A moment later, after the ointment had been applied, Lewis Horton put on a new shirt, his slender and clean fingers delicately doing up the buttons: “Miss Olsen, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Keira Olsen hesitated, then raised her eyes to look at him, “Actually, you didn’t have to take that for me. Grandma will be very sad that you’re hurt.”

“She’d be sadder if you were hurt.”

“After all, I am an outsider.”

The man’s dark eyes fixed on her, he said slowly, “You seem to have forgotten, you are now my wife.”

Keira Olsen’s breath tightened, the air around her seemingly growing thinner with Lewis Horton’s words.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her fan-like lashes trembled slightly.

“I… I’ll step out for a moment.”

Keira Olsen turned to walk out.

Lewis Horton asked, “What are you going to do?”

“Get even.”

How Poppy Hill treated her didn’t matter, but since she had hurt Lewis Horton, she couldn’t let it slide so easily!

Keira Olsen went to Mrs. Olsen’s ward, wanting to check if Poppy Hill was there.

But as she approached, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Isla Olsen walking into a corridor ahead with a man.

That figure was sleazy and sneaky, looking an awful lot like Uncle Finley Hill?

She walked over, puzzled.

In the corridor.

Finley Hill was rubbing his hands: “Niece, I’m a bit short on cash…”

Isla Olsen suppressed her anger, “I’ve already given you my allowance for the month!”

Finley Hill was her nightmare.

On the first day of the month, he had suddenly approached her, claiming she was Poppy Hill’s daughter, demanding money, or he’d take the matter to Taylor Olsen and Mrs. Olsen…

Finley Hill, however, was indifferent, laughing, “I’m not going to survive this anyway, if you don’t give me the money, I’ll go to Keira Olsen and tell her the truth. She will definitely give me a large sum of money!”

Then, the door was pushed open.

Keira Olsen stood there, her back to the light, her voice very cold, “What truth?”
