The technical core of the research and development department was a challenging task.

It took Keira a full two hours to solve this problem.

She sent an email to Luca and went out to find him.

But Luca stood up, began to pack his things, and looked very happy. “Time to clock off!”

Friday afternoon was the happiest time for each employee.

Finally, it was time to welcome the weekend.

After Luca finished speaking, he finally noticed Keira. “How’s your work coming along, junior?”

Keira started to speak, “I…”

“No rush!” Luca interrupted her excitedly. “Take the weekend off, whatever it is, leave it till Monday.”

Keira didn’t say anything else.

Although she didn’t work that much, she understood that discussing work when work was over on Friday could be very annoying.

It was better not to disturb her seniors’ weekend.

The task she finished, after all, was just a small problem in the research and development department.

Luca took his backpack and walked out. When he passed by Keira, he paused and comforted her. “Don’t get upset. You’ve actually done great!”

Keira didn’t know what he was talking about.

She didn’t have to work, and she only helped out because Jalen helped her out today.

Since the work was done, she would go to the documentation department when she came to work next week.

While thinking about this, Keira went back to her office, picked up “Kitten”, and also left.

On the rooftop.

After Lewis finished his work for the day, he checked the time and prepared to go home.

But Tom asked, “Boss, where are you going?”

Lewis paused, only then realizing he hadn’t asked where his grandmother was.

He dialed old Mrs. Horton’s number. “Are you at… someone’s house?”

The answer old Mrs. Horton gave was unexpectedly, “I’m at the hospital.”

Lewis frowned. “Didn’t the doctor say you could be discharged?”

“But I suddenly felt a pain in my chest this afternoon, so I wanted to stay a few more days. Are you coming to stay with me tonight, brat?”

“It’s okay if you don’t think you can make it. I’m just an old lady nobody loves. Let me stay in the hospital alone. There’s nobody around when I wake up in the middle of the night wanting a drink of water.”

”… I am on my way there.”

“That’s more like it. By the way, I told my granddaughter-in-law, and she’s also coming. You should come with her!”

He hung up the phone and rubbed his temple..

Of course, he understood his grandmother’s cunning plan. Whether she returns to the Horton house or stays in the Olsen house, he and Keira always split up at night. But at the hospital, the two had to care for her at all times, and they would get to spend more time together.

But she had a boyfriend…

Lewis slightly pursed his lips. He wanted to keep his distance from her.

Then he thought of his grandmother’s health, so he reluctantly texted her on WhatsApp. “I’ll pick you up from work. We’re going to the hospital.”

She replied quickly this time. “Don’t bother. I am already on the way there by taxi.”

She did know how to avoid suspicion.

She hadn’t stuck around without knowing her limits because of grandmother’s favoritism…

Lewis should feel happy, but for some reason, he was even more displeased.

Keira didn’t think much of it.

She just didn’t want to get involved with Lewis too much before finding out the truth about their marriage.

The inexplicable marriage must have been due to some trouble caused by Lewis. After all, who would even notice her, a weak and helpless woman?

She carried the dog and walked straight into the building, heading toward the VIP ward.

Not far from there.

Mrs. Olsen and Isla had just finished a re-examination.

Isla was supporting her mother by the arm, and the two of them were looking in the direction where Keira was leaving.

Mrs. Olsen hesitated and said, “Is that Keira? Why is she in the hospital? Is she sick?”

Isla felt a twinge of annoyance.

Old Mrs. Horton was hospitalized, and the news couldn’t be kept from the Horton family.

But the old lady was stubborn and didn’t let anyone visit her. Isla also went to the room today, but she was turned away at the door, and she didn’t see anyone.

So, Keira must be there to visit the old lady right now!

Isla’s eyes darted around. “She must be visiting old Mrs. Horton… Keira is so kind.”

As soon as these words came out, the nanny, Aunt South, who had come along, was unhappy. “She’s kind? I haven’t seen her visit Mrs. Olsen!”

Aunt South was in her fifties, about ten years older than Jodie South, and she had been looking after Mrs. Olsen for many years. She was still single.

Mrs. Olsen treated Aunt South like her sister, and therefore Aunt South was a respected figure in the Olsen family. Even Isla treated Aunt South with great respect.

Mrs. Olsen looked a little desolate when she heard that. “Keira had a hard life in the Olsen’s…”

Aunt South immediately said, “Mrs. Olsen, you’re still speaking up for her. 1 also look down upon Poppy Hill’s petty manners, but she was right. Miss Keira is an ungrateful wretch! You’ve always looked out for her and care about her, but she may have forgotten you!”

Isla said, “I heard Mr. Horton gave her a job in the Horton Group… so she must be repaying old Mrs. Horton’s kindness, right?”

Aunt South sneered, “But Mrs. Olsen brought her up! When Poppy abandoned her during her childhood, it was Mrs. Olsen who fed her and sent her to school, and Mrs. Olsen has done everything for her. Isn’t she going to repay that?””

Mrs. Olsen immediately stopped her. “Enough. Stop it.”

But Isla continued. “Mother is kind. She helped others without asking for anything in return. However, some people know the meaning of kindness, such as Dr. South. My mother only sponsored him a little money for school, and he helped our family so much over the years. Three years ago, the company was almost bankrupt, and he gave us a technology patent, which saved us…”

Aunt South also nodded.” Dr. South is way better than Keira. I don’t know what Dr. South looks like, but one’s appearance is decided by their personality. I’m sure he’s good-looking!”

Isla immediately feigned curiosity, “I’m also keen on knowing what kind of person Dr. South is. Mother, take me with you tomorrow!”

Mrs. Olsen chuckled and tapped Isla on her nose, “Okay, I’ll take you!”

They were talking and going downstairs to the parking lot.

Keira saw them from the VIP ward. She was currently sitting on the sofa next to the bed.

Her gaze followed Mrs. Olsen.

She could see that Mrs. Olsen’s face was pale, and she was as thin and straight as bamboo. Still, she exuded an indescribable charm.

Isla was saying something to her, and Mrs. Olsen nodded in resignation.

The mother and daughter were intimate.

Once the car left, Keira turned back reluctantly.

She found the little old lady standing behind her. “Who’s that? She looked so familiar.”

With a gentle look on her face, Keira was about to speak.

“You two look so much alike…” Old Mrs.. Horton’s eyes suddenly lit up, “I remember! She’s your mother!”
