My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

A heavy feeling settled in Keira\'s chest.

She had a close bond with old Mrs. Horton. Back in Oceanion, old Mrs. Horton had relied on Keira during her stay. She always took Keira\'s side and defended her.

It was old Mrs. Horton who had convinced Lewis to believe in their marriage...

After that, no matter what Keira did, old Mrs. Horton was always incredibly supportive.

Yes...

Her time was indeed running out; back in Oceanion, she only had two months left to live. It was only after taking Keira\'s medication that her condition stabilized.

But after all, she was eighty-seven years old, and her health was failing...

Keira\'s heart grew heavier. "Since that\'s the case, you should\'ve been with her instead of me. You should stay with Grandma."

Lewis lowered his gaze. "Grandma insisted I stay with you."

He had returned to the Horton residence several times, but each time, old Mrs. Horton would send him back, telling him to stay with Keira because she was worried she would lose Keira again...

Lewis felt a suffocating pain thinking about what the doctor had said.

Old Mrs. Horton had told the doctor she feared that after her passing, Lewis would be left without any close family, so it was essential to take good care of Keira.

Keira was going to be his only family.

Now, when Lewis thought about this, his chest tightened.

Even when Grandma couldn\'t remember anything else, she still remembered his wife...

And now that she could recall past events, it was still him she worried about...

He quickened his pace.

Keira immediately walked beside him, saying, "You should\'ve told me sooner. In that case, we\'ll stay at the Horton residence for now."

Lewis looked at her.

Keira continued, "I\'ll handle my things, and you focus on your work. But we should both return here every evening to be with Grandma and stop going to the Olsen residence."

Lewis\'s voice caught, and he chuckled. "Thank you, Keira."

She patted his hand. "She\'s my grandma, too."

"Yeah."

They exchanged a smile and walked into old Mrs. Horton\'s courtyard.

Erin followed them, and seeing their clasped hands, she glanced down at her own. After a brief, unfocused stare, she scoffed and continued following them.

They entered the courtyard and saw Fiona accompanying old Mrs. Horton on a walk.

Their backs were turned, so they didn\'t see who was approaching.

Mrs. Horton was making arrangements for after she passed. "Fiona, don\'t worry. After I\'m gone, Lewis will surely take care of you."

Fiona immediately protested, "Don\'t say that, Mrs. Horton! Even if Mr. Horton is willing to look after me, the first branch of the family will bully me! I need you to stay and watch over me!"

Old Mrs. Horton chuckled. "I\'m eighty-seven; if I live any longer, I\'ll turn into an old witch. Fiona, rest assured, you\'ll live here after I\'m gone. As for the first branch... they won\'t be a problem for long."

Fiona looked puzzled. "Mrs. Horton, what do you mean?"

"You think Lewis can\'t handle them? He\'s been holding back, pretending to be evenly matched, just to make me too worried to die. But you see, I\'ve discovered something about Lewis."

"What is it?" Fiona asked.

"Lewis is smart. In his struggles with the first branch, he\'s always shown mercy. He\'s doing it for me. After all, they\'re my children and grandchildren... He doesn\'t want to make me sad. So, when I close my eyes, that\'s when he\'ll deal with them."

Fiona\'s eyes filled with tears. "Mrs. Horton, then you must live longer so that even if Mr. Horton is just pretending, it can protect the first branch for a while longer."

Mrs. Horton waved her hand. "Fiona, the Horton family owes Lewis. His mother neglected him, and his father neglected him, too. He was just a child when they threw him into the old house to fend for himself. Later, he left to study abroad... It\'s us, the Hortons, who owe him! I can\'t be so selfish, letting him live repressed for the sake of an old woman. So, when it\'s time for me to go, I\'ll go."

Fiona cried out, "Mrs. Horton, please don\'t say that!"

"Why are you crying?" sighed old Mrs. Horton. "When Keira disappeared, I was genuinely scared. I felt like I had to live a few more years, fearing that once I was gone, Lewis would follow right after. But it\'s much better now. He has someone in this world that he can\'t bear to leave."

Fiona sobbed, "Mrs. Horton..."

"Don\'t worry, I still have a month left! But I\'m truly tired and conflicted. I\'ve been hesitating... unsure whether I should go. Fiona, they say a son is born to settle scores with his mother. Nathan, that scoundrel, was such a pain to Lewis, but to me... he was indeed filial..." She sighed.

A tear slid down old Mrs. Horton\'s cheek. "So, as his grandmother, I\'m holding Lewis back..."

Upon hearing this, Keira immediately turned to look at Lewis.

There she saw the usually composed man now with tears streaming down his face.

Keira understood old Mrs. Horton\'s dilemma.

After all, it was her own son and grandson...

If Lewis could make up his mind…..n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
