How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire
Chapter 234 - Chapter 234 Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Could it be that Handsome Uncle was Uncle Olsen?

With this thought, Keira Olsen immediately opened the large box.

Inside the large box was a delicately crafted small box with a ribbon tied into a bow, clearly intended for a girl.

As Keira Olsen opened the small box, she found inside… a luxury handbag from the same brand?

Keira Olsen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling she had overthought things!

What a coincidence it was!

Her phone vibrated, and she saw a message from Ellis Olsen: “Did you receive the gift from Uncle Olsen? Can you spare some time to meet?”

Keira Olsen thought about it, yesterday it was flowers, today a bag, if she continued to ignore them, would they keep sending gifts tomorrow?

She replied to the message: “Tell Uncle Olsen I’m not angry, I just feel there is no need to meet.”

Upon receiving the message, Ellis Olsen immediately relayed Keira Olsen’s words to Uncle Olsen.

After hearing it, Uncle Olsen fell silent for a moment, and finally, sighed softly, “Then forget it, if she doesn’t want to meet, let it be! I’ll return to the capital the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Ellis Olsen then asked, “But Uncle, didn’t your old friend message you about sending jewelry? Why did you send a bag instead?”

Uncle Olsen sighed: “Jewelry is too valuable, Miss South wouldn’t accept it.”

The jewelry from that brand was worth millions, and Uncle Olsen felt it was presumptuous to send such items, so he chose a bag worth tens of thousands instead.

After all, girls like them all the same!

Uncle Olsen also felt he was stubbornly insistent for no clear reason and couldn’t figure out why there was such a strong compulsion to see her.

While he was pondering, his phone vibrated again, and his old friend had sent a message.

Youngster: “Handsome Uncle, have you pacified your junior?”

Uncle Olsen smiled and replied: “All settled, I’m returning to the capital the day after tomorrow, don’t forget our meal.”

Youngster: “Don’t worry, I remember! I’ve spoken to my mom, I’ll bring her along~ Let you see what the world’s best mom looks like!”

Uncle Olsen grinned, teasing her: “Alright, then let’s see whether your mom is better than mine.”

…

Keira Olsen didn’t return the bag.

An item worth tens of thousands wasn’t worth the fuss of sending back and forth.

She casually tossed it aside and joined Lewis Horton for breakfast.

Today, they had a Cantonese-style breakfast, and Lewis Horton picked a shrimp dumpling for her. Keira Olsen took a bite, her eyes suddenly brightened: “Fresh and juicy! Delicious!”

“Really?”

Lewis Horton smiled, tilted his head, and ate the remaining half of the shrimp dumpling from her chopsticks, then looked at her lips and smiled: “Indeed sweet.”

Keira Olsen: !!

She felt she was being flirted with!

It seemed, since last night, this man’s audacity had grown thicker.

Keira Olsen immediately stuffed another shrimp dumpling into her mouth, ferociously chewing, unaware that her seemingly fierce amorous eyes were absolutely captivating at that moment.

Old Mrs. Horton burped on the side, feeling utterly fed with the couple’s display of affection.

After finishing the meal, Lewis Horton looked towards Keira Olsen: “I need to go to the office to deal with some matters, I’ll be back for lunch, and I can work from home in the afternoon.”

Keira Olsen knew he was voluntarily reporting his schedule.

She smiled and nodded.

Lewis Horton turned to leave, but at that moment, his phone rang abruptly!

The ring made Keira Olsen’s heart skip a beat, a bad feeling suddenly overwhelming her.

Lewis Horton took out his phone, saw it was a call from Tom Davis, and something that was said made his expression freeze!

Seeing him standing still, Keira Olsen immediately approached, her brows furrowed as she inquired, “What happened?”

Lewis Horton’s jaw tightened, his look dark and foreboding, as if the relaxed feeling of shedding invisible pressures and burdens since last night had suddenly vanished.

The fleeting pressure that had disappeared came at him again like the sea.

It made him feel as though he was drowning, tightly gripping Keira Olsen’s hand, he slowly said, “Madeleine Davis jumped from a building.”

…

In the hospital.

Inside the emergency room, Madeleine Davis’s breathing was weak, her body covered in blood.

Doctors and nurses were constantly coming in and out, carrying many bags of blood.

Keira Olsen stood by Lewis Horton at the door of the operating room, both of them looking at the woman on the hospital bed.

Her thin arms and legs extended outward, her complexion pale, her body sporting multiple abrasions, internal organs damaged, continuously bleeding.

A rough estimate indicated that the blood inside Madeleine Davis’s body had been replaced about four times.

She had jumped from the tenth floor of the psychiatric hospital, and by the time she was brought into the emergency room, she was already breathless.

They had issued four critical condition notices already…

Before, Keira Olsen had thought Madeleine Davis was being melodramatic, with her fasting and threats of suicide, just to scare Lewis Horton.

She never imagined that without Lewis Horton, Madeleine Davis truly wanted to die.

She turned again towards Lewis Horton.

The man’s face was still cold, his eyes staring blankly at the person on the bed, his pupils flickering with profound, complex emotions, making it impossible for Keira Olsen to decipher his thoughts.

Lewis Horton had actually anticipated this outcome when he made that decision yesterday.

He was very aware of Madeleine Davis’s serious mental illness; it wasn’t feigned.

But knowing and seeing were two different matters; the frail Madeleine Davis on the bed reminded him of his childhood.

Few people knew, but when the kidnappers caught him back then, they weren’t planning to traffic him but had taken money from the first branch of the family to kill him.

Therefore, the food prepared by the kidnappers contained poison.

He dared not eat.

Other kids, starving, would obediently eat, but he did not.

The other children thought he was just being proud, but they didn’t know he couldn’t eat…

He was only nine years old, stomach growling with hunger, unable to sleep at night…

At one point, he felt he was about to starve to death.

Even in the middle of the night, he saw a black cat jump into the room, its eerie eyes staring at him.

He seemed to remember a fairy tale book that mentioned black cats came to take away the dying, consuming their souls after death.

Looking into its eyes, he felt a genuine fear stirring inside him.

He didn’t want to die, he still had his grandmother…

Just then, the door squeaked, and a small figure slipped in, shooed away the black cat, and pulled out half a bun from her pocket to give to him.

She said, “Little brother, don’t starve yourself, eat quickly, once you’re dead, it’s all gone…”

His survival in the kidnappers’ hands wasn’t just because of her final help, but also the food she secretly fed him over those three months.

He owed her, more than just his life!

Lewis Horton clenched his fists tightly.

The psychiatric hospital director came over, head bowed in apology, “Mr. Horton, I’m sorry, Miss Davis said she’d realized she couldn’t depend on a man, must rely on herself… then she just quietly slept, we didn’t let our guard down, but the nurse on night duty accidentally dozed off, by the time she opened her eyes, there was no one in the room, just the window open, the curtain blowing in the wind…”

The director stopped speaking as he noticed Lewis Horton’s livid expression, immediately too scared to continue.

Lewis Horton’s jaw tensed, he muttered to himself, “Was it my fault?”

Keira Olsen knew he was now plunged into deep guilt.

But she didn’t know what to say to comfort him…

She just instinctively said, “You didn’t do anything wrong, I once saved a big brother too…”

Lewis Horton looked over, “What big brother?”
