How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Lewis Horton took a deep breath when he heard these words.

He turned his head toward the window, loosened his tie, and said, “She saved my life when she was a child, and I promised her that I would marry her when we grew up.”

In fact, he felt responsible for how Madeleine Davis had ended up.

Miss Davis was right about one thing: Little Bun was different from the other kidnapped kids they were with.

Little Bun was cute, well-behaved, and sensible. Even the traffickers took pity on her, promising to find her a good home.

Back then, Little Bun had a very close relationship with the traffickers.

Keira Olsen was slightly stunned when she heard this.

She couldn’t help but think of herself.

Her own “brother” had promised to come find her and marry her… but after many years, he never showed up.

No wonder old Mrs. Horton said Lewis Horton was a man of strong responsibility.

The two quickly arrived at the mental hospital.

It was very quiet there, the surroundings peaceful and beautiful. The entire mental hospital was empty except for Madeleine Davis.

This alone showed Lewis Horton’s attentiveness towards her.

After the car stopped at the entrance, Keira Olsen followed him to Miss Davis’s ward.

As soon as they entered, they met her chief physician.

Seeing Lewis Horton, the chief physician sighed in relief, “Mr. Horton, it’s not that we wanted to disturb you, but Miss Davis has been vomiting everything she eats since yesterday. If she doesn’t start eating properly and only relies on nutrient solutions, I’m afraid her stomach will be ruined…”

Keira Olsen couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

Is Madeleine Davis still not weaned? She won’t eat unless Lewis Horton comes?

They hadn’t yet reached the door to the hospital room when they heard a feeble voice from inside: “Has Brother Lewis come? I won’t eat if big brother doesn’t come, it’s too uncomfortable to throw up. I need big brother…”

Lewis Horton heard this but didn’t hurry inside.

He turned back, looked at Keira Olsen, and then held her hand as they entered.

Keira Olsen instantly saw her, dressed in a hospital gown.

Compared to the last birthday banquet at the Horton family home, she looked even thinner, the hospital gown hanging loosely on her.

Her skin was almost translucent white, her cheeks hollow, and she looked emaciated.

On seeing Lewis Horton, a light shone in her eyes: “Brother Lewis…”

But Lewis Horton’s chin hardened, “I heard you’re not eating. I’ve brought your sister-in-law to see you.”

He emphasized the words “your sister-in-law.”

Miss Davis reluctantly shifted her gaze from him and looked at Keira Olsen, a flash of nervousness and hostility in her eyes as she turned back to Lewis Horton in confusion, “Brother Lewis, what do you mean by this?”

Lewis Horton spoke bluntly, “Miss Davis, I am already married. From now on, please try to be independent.”

Madeleine Davis was stunned, then tears began to roll down her cheeks, “Brother Lewis, are you not going to care for me anymore?”

Lewis Horton looked away, “I will continue to pay your medical bills.”

Madeleine Davis was dumbfounded, “Does that mean you won’t come to see me anymore?”

Lewis Horton didn’t respond.

Miss Davis continued crying, “But I will die without seeing you! Brother Lewis, you can’t do this to me…”

She got up from the bed, and due to her sickness and not eating for two days, her whole body was shaky and dizzy.

Yet she still moved towards Lewis Horton, reaching out her hand to grab him, “Brother Lewis, I saved your life back then, and you promised to marry me! Have you forgotten?!”

Lewis Horton said indifferently, “The words of a nine-year-old child can’t be taken seriously.”

“But I took them seriously!”

Madeleine Davis suddenly raised her voice, “I took them seriously! Since childhood, I have been waiting for you to marry me! In my world, you are my only savior! Brother Lewis, when you first found me, you promised to take care of me. Now, just because you have a wife, are you going to abandon me?”

After shouting, she ran out of strength and staggered back onto the bed.

Lewis Horton looked at her, frowning, “I promised to take care of you, not to marry you.”

“But now that you’re married, you’re starting your own life. You will have children with her, and slowly you’ll forget about me… You’ve given up on me!”

She cried pitifully, like a child that had been abandoned, “If even you don’t want me, who in this world will? What’s the point of me being alive? Brother Lewis, you know about my illness; if you don’t care for me, you might as well kill me now, it would be kinder than letting me torment myself in the future!”

Her words made Lewis Horton tense his jaw.

Keira Olsen sneered, blocking Lewis Horton and looking at Madeleine Davis, “All this ‘brother, brother, brother’, are you laying eggs?”

Madeleine Davis stopped crying at the retort.

Keira Olsen then directed her gaze at her, “Everyone should take control of their own life. Why should others be responsible for your life?!”

Madeleine Davis, trembling, pointed at Lewis Horton, “He promised to marry me!”

“As children, who takes those words to heart?” Keira Olsen scoffed, “I too had a ‘big brother’ who said he’d marry me, and he never showed up. Should I also find him and block his door?”

Madeleine Davis was speechless.

Lewis Horton, however, was slightly stunned and turned to look at her, “What big brother?”

Keira Olsen gave him a glancing look and said lightly, “Who didn’t play house as a child? Why care about these things!”

Lewis Horton didn’t say another word.

But Madeleine Davis regained her composure, crying, “I’m different! You were playing, but I risked my life to save Brother Lewis. If it wasn’t for me, Brother Lewis would have been killed long ago! Those people kidnapped him and were going to kill him! But it was different for me; they just happened to abduct me, just wanted to sell me! It was me who saved Brother Lewis, when I saved him, we agreed that he would be responsible and marry me… Brother Lewis, you can’t go back on your word!”

Keira Olsen was stunned by these words.

Human trafficking?

These matters… why do they sound so familiar?
