Chapter 65: Visitation

    Lewis walked faster and had already gone up the stairs.


    Keira walked over to Reba.


    She was wearing a patient’s uniform and sitting in a wheelchair. An older woman by her side quickly helped her sit down when she tried to stand up in excitement. “You should sit down.’


    Reba, after sitting, introduced the two people beside her to Keira. “Miss,


    these are my parents.”


    As soon as she finished, Reba’s mother Mrs. Allen grabbed Keira’s hand, eyes red with gratitude. “Good girl, thank you for saving our Reba. I asked the nurses about the situation afterward. Without you, Reba wouldn’t have made it!”


    Keira was unsure how to react to such a show of sentiment. She simply said,


    “Don’t worry about it.”


    Seeing Keira’s difort, Mr. Allen stepped in. “Miss Olsen, the Allen family is indebted to you. In the future, should you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.”


    Keira said, “Mr. Allen, you’re too kind. It was nothing more than a fortuitous


    act.”


    She turned to Reba. “Have you had your surgery? <li>■Yes, I’ll need to go through physical rehabilitation from now on. Miss, I’ll be staying in the rehab building. Would youe and visit me when you’re free?”</li>


    “Sure.”


    Reba wasn’t well enough to stay outside for long, so the two of them exchanged WhatsApp contacts before parting ways.


    As Mrs. Allen pushed Reba back to her ward, shemented, “Miss Olsen has such clear eyes. She seems to be a good person…Honey, are you listening?


    What are you thinking about?”


    Mr. Allen came back to his senses, “Ah, I just… Miss Olsen looks familiar…”


    “Familiar how?”


    Frankie’s voice came from the ward, interrupting them. They didn’t realize that Frankie and a stranger were sitting on the couch in the room.


    The stranger immediately stood up and greeted them when he saw them,


    “Hello, Mr. Allen, Mrs. Allen, Miss Allen.”


    Mr. Allen wasn’t pleased. He felt that his son had disturbed Reba.


    Reba also didn’t want to see outsiders.


    just as everyone was feeling a bit resistant, Frankie spoke up, “This is Miss


    Olsen’s fiance, Mr. Jake Horton. He’se to visit Reba.”


    The three of them immediately changed their expressions after hearing this.


    Reba curiously looked at Jake.


    Mr. and Mrs. Allen exchanged a few words with him.


    After Jake left, Mr. and Mrs. Allen shared a nce and said in a low voice, “Miss Olsen seems so elegant and refined. It’s a shame her fiance is so… well, we can’t judge others choices.”


    “Elegant and refined?” Frankie thought of I, brow furrowing, “Mom, Dad, you guys can really misjudge someone! What Miss Olsen wants is far more than you think!”


    Mr. Allen was taken aback, “She hasn’t made any requests!”


    Frankie scoffed. “She introduced her fiance to me, clearly asking me to support him. If our cooperation with the Horton Group is sessful, we’ll be supporting the main branch of the Horton family! Lewis isn’t easy to handle. She’s been roping us into this dispute, isn’t that enough? At least she’s sensible enough not to make any other requests.


    Mr. Allen frowned, “I didn’t expect Miss Olsen to be that kind of person!” Mrs. Allen also sighed, “She saved Reba. We should try to return this favor as much as we can. It’s a pity though. I thought Reba could have gained a close friend.”


    Upon hearing this, Frankie looked displeased at Reba. “In the future, try to avoid Miss Olsen and her fiance. They’re not good people. We’re lucky we could return their favor with money this time.”


    Reba’s expression changed. “Miss Olsen isn’t that kind of person!” Frankie sighed, “Reba, haven’t you learned your lesson? You can’t judge a book by its cover.”


    Reba was adamantly silent.


    Miss Olsen was the person who gave her hope in thest moment of her life.


    She didn’t believe that Miss Olsen was that kind of person…


    Although old Mrs. Horton had mentioned before that she didn’t want other members of the Horton family to visit her, Jake still headed toward her ward after arriving at the hospital.


    He arrived at the door and through the ss window, he saw Lewis and Keira sitting on the couch, both working on theirptops. They weren’t talking, but the harmonious scene still stung his eyes.


    He walked in, greeted old Mrs. Horton, and then left.


    As he was passing by Lewis, he suddenly halted.


    in the past, the person he was most afraid of was his young uncle. However, Keira ignored Jake the whole time today, not even giving him a nce, which made Jake feel as if she was high above and untouchable.


    An unidentifiable rage welled up in his chest, giving him a bit more courage. He said, “Uncle, Mr. Allen values me greatly. He said to let me take charge of this project, but it seems my title as vice president of the R&D department isn’t enough. Maybe the position of director of the project department should be given to me?”


    The moment he voiced this, the atmosphere in the entire ward suddenly turned strange.


    Keira didn’t respond but only looked at Lewis.


    By demanding power and status directly, was Jake using the backing of the Allen family to brazenly challenge Lewis? It was difficult to say if Lewis wouldpromise…


    Lewis looked up, his dark eyes sweeping past Jake. Then, he nonchntly said, “You think the position of the director of the project department is enough?”


    Those words…


    Jake’s heart leaped with joy. It seemed that the Allen family did put pressure on his uncle!


    But just as he was digesting this, Lewis’ low voice resonated again. “What about my position then?”


    Jake’s breath hitched, and he felt an invisible pressure hit him head-on. Of course, he wanted the position of the person in charge of the family!


    But his uncle seemed to put it so lightly, yet his voice carried an undercurrent of rage, especially the icy depths of his ck eyes… Jake felt a shiver down his spine. He felt out of his depth, and his heart was pounding!


    He swallowed and finally bowed his head. “I wouldn’t dare.”


    Even though he didn’t look up, he could still feel the gaze that seemed to have turned tangible. Jake felt a chill creep down his spine. After a long pause, he heard Lewis’ indifferent voice. “In the future, if there’s nothing important, don’te to Grandma’s ce.


    Jake let out a huge sigh of relief and left.


    Once he’d left the ward, he was filled with regret and shame, feeling that he had lost face in front of Keira!


    Inside the ward…


    After seeing Jake leave in a huff, Tom snorted. “The project hasn’t even started yet, and he wants a promotion. I’ve never seen someone so arrogant. However, boss, wouldn’t your tant rejection upset things with the Allen family?”


    Lewis was silent.


    Tom quietly sighed.


    Seeing this, Keira cautiously asked, “Is there something I can help with?” Tom immediately replied, “The cooperation project with the Allen’s isn’t about new energy, so you can’t help. Besides, you don’t even know anyone in the Allen family…”


    Keira didn’t say anything more.


    The room remained silent throughout the night.


    The next morning, Tom brought news. “Turns out that boss Alien’s sister is hospitalized in this very hospital. Boss, you should visit her, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also to improve our rtionship with the Allen family.”


    Lewis frowned. “It’s inappropriate.”


    Tom thought for a moment, “Indeed, it’s inappropriate as she’s ady…” He suddenly looked toward Keira. “Miss Olsen, you’re Mr. Horton’s wife in name. Perhaps you can apany Mr. Horton for a visit?” Hearing this, Lewis paused while he was tying his tie but didn’t object.


    Seeing this, Keira nodded. “Okay..”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
