265 Save Mrs. Olsen
Having left Fragrance Hall, Keira hailed a cab on the roadside and headed straight for the Olsen residence.
It was already late.
On the road, she watched the night scene of Oceanion, her jaw tensed.
The day’s encounters felt as if a lifetime had passed.
Previously, she had been muddling through, focusing solely on living well.
Now, her goal was to find the murderer and return to a
normal life.
The car soon arrived at the Olsen home.
Keira still wore a black mask and cap as she got out of the car and stood at the Olsen family’s doorstep, ringing the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened.
The person who opened it was Aunt South, who
looked slightly bewildered upon seeing Keira. “Who are you?”

Without knowing who the murderer was, no one could
be trusted.
Keira looked down. “Hello, I’m a classmate of Keira’s.
I’ve come to visit Mrs. Olsen”
Aunt South immediately said, “I’ll go ask Mr. Olsen!”
Keira nodded.
Aunt South entered the house and soon returned, relaying Tr’s message, “Mrs. Olsen has already gone t

But the answer was still a rejection. “Our lady is unwell, and it’s not suitable for her to receive guests right now,. Please understand.”
The more this happened, the more Keira felt something was off. “If she’s unwell, why not stay in the hospital? Why was she discharged so early?”
Aunt South furrowed her brows. “Who are you? Are you questioning me? What right do you have to question me?”
Just as Keira was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind her. “If she doesn’t have the right,
what about me?”
This familiar and deep voice made Keira startle, and she swiftly turned around to find Lewis had appeared
behind her without notice.
The man looked exhausted, with hollow cheeks and brows tightly knit together. His sharp and cold eyes
were piercing.
He was enveloped in a chilling wind.
Gone was his usual gentlemanly demeanor, replaced by an air of cold aloofness.

265 Save Mrs. Olsen,
All day, Lewis had been inside that restaurant, watching his men check the surrounding surveillance footage, trying to catch the murderer who had kidnapped Keira.
But there was nothing…
It seemed as if that entire street had been emptied, no surveillance cameras captured the scene of the crime.
His wife had been abducted into the sea without
explanation…
Lewis had originally planned to continue searching the sea that evening; the body, to him, felt strange and unfamiliar. Yet, as soon as he’d heard Mrs. Olsen was discharged, he had rushed over immediately.
Keira had never opened up to him.
Yet Lewis had always known the place Jodie South held
in her heart.
After Keira reunited with Jodie South, she became a typical “Mama’s girl”, even when his grandmother was sick. He had felt a twinge of jealousy…
Therefore, even if Keira was really gone, he was determined to take good care of Mrs. Olsen for Keira’s

sake!
As Lewis thought about this, he turned to look at the
woman beside him.
It was her again!
Keira’s high school classmate, Keera?
Why was she here in the middle of the night, showing
such concern for Mrs. Olsen?!
Seeing Lewis arrive, Aunt South immediately exclaimed, “Mr. Horton, please come in.”
She dared to stop Keira, but she wouldn’t dare to stop
Lewis!!
When Lewis heard this, he entered the door, and as he. passed by Keira, he hesitated a little, and he took a
careful look at her.
Her black cap was worn a bit low, hiding her eyes, and the mask was tightly secured-it was impossible to
make out her face.
But her height was somewhat similar to Keira’s…
Thinking of this, Lewis lowered his gaze.
Upon seeing this, Keira immediately followed behind
14:50

him.
Aunt South immediately shouted, “Hey, who let you in,
you…
Keira immediately pointed at Lewis, “I came in with
him.”
Aunt South was taken aback, looking at Lewis with hesitation. “Mr. Horton?”
Lewis’s brow furrowed slightly. He looked again at Keira, still unable to discern her appearance, but his
intuition told him that this woman wasn’t bad-hearted.
At least she meant no harm to Mrs. Olsen.
Lewis pursed his lips and finally said, “Let her in.”
Keira breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind
him.
The two entered the living room and just happened to see Taylor hurriedly coming down from upstairs.
Lewis asked, “How is Mrs. Olsen? Why was she suddenly discharged from the hospital?”
Taylor sighed. “This afternoon, she woke up and
14:50

insisted that Keira wasn’t dead. He was a bit too
agitated, and then he refused to stay in the hospital. I had no choice but to bring her back.”
The reason was flawless.
Lewis thought about how he himself couldn’t accept that corpse, let alone Mrs. Olsen?
He pursed his lips. “May I see her?”
Taylor’s gaze flickered immediately.
Today, when he took action against Jodie South, he had been a bit heavy-handed, which resulted in marks on her body that weren’t presentable.
Taylor said, “Shirley just finished taking a bath, and she’s asleep now. Please come back another day.”
In the future, one must never strike where the marks
could be seen.
But Lewis felt that something was off.
He couldn’t put his finger on what was wrong, but it was an intuition.
He knitted his brows, about to say something, when the woman beside him suddenly bent over, clutching

her stomach, and spoke in a fragile voice, “Sir, sorry, but I, I ate something bad today and need to use the
restroom. May I?”
Taylor immediately scowled. “And you are?”
“I’m a friend of Mr. Horton…”
Lewis’s brow furrowed slightly when he heard this.
As soon as Keira finished speaking, she covered her behind with her other hand. “I’m sorry, I really can’t hold it!”
After saying this, she looked around and asked Aunt
South, “Where’s the restroom?”
Aunt South pointed to the downstairs bathroom, just about to speak, when she heard Keira say, “Upstairs, right? Thank you!”
Without another word, she agilely darted upstairs.
Aunt South was dumbfounded.
Taylor’s expression changed slightly. He immediately turned around. “Don’t go upstairs!”
Before he could move, however, Lewis blocked his way. “Father-in-law, this friend of mine is a bit
14:53

careless. Please don’t take it to heart…”
Taylor’s face tensed with anxiety.
He clenched his jaw and looked at Lewis.
But Lewis remained unflinching, only seeing the girl zigzagging in the corridor, heading nowhere else but straight to Mrs. Olsen’s bedroom door.
Taylor immediately shouted, “Don’t enter!”
Aunt South also rushed toward the stairs.
But Keira merely paused briefly, then narrowed her eyes and immediately pushed the door open and burst
in!
