Could that handsome uncle be Uncle Olsen?
At this thought, Keira immediately opened the big box.
Inside the big box was a delicate small box tied with a ribbon, clearly meant for a
woman.
Keira opened the small box and found inside a luxury handbag from the same
brand.
She let out a sigh of relief, feeling she had thought too much.
What were the odds?
Her phone vibrated. When she checked, she saw a message from Ellis. “Did you
receive the gift from Uncle Olsen? Can you spare some time to meet him?”
Keira thought for a moment. Flowers yesterday, a handbag today-would they
continue to send things if she still ignored them tomorrow?
She replied to the message. “Tell Mr. Olsen I'm not mad; I just don't think there's
any need to meet.”
When Ellis received the message, he immediately

passed Keira's words on to Uncle Olsen.
After hearing it, Uncle Olsen fell silent for a while, and in the end, he just sighed
softly. “Then forget it. There's no need to meet then. I'll be returning to Clance the
day after tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Ellis then asked, “But Uncle Olsen, didn't your close friend say they were sending
jewelry? Why did you send a bag instead?”
Uncle Olsen sighed. “The jewelry is too expensive; Miss Jodie wouldn't accept it.”
The brand's fine jewelry was worth hundreds of thousands to millions. Uncle
Olsen thought giving suc items was too much, so he chose a bag worth tens o
thousands of dollars instead.
After all, women like them all the same!
Uncle Olsen also felt that his stubborn insistence on
seeing her was mysteriously absurd; he couldn't understand this inexplicable
determination to see her.
As he was pondering, his phone vibrated with a message from his close friend.

The young lady wrote, “Handsome Uncle, have you pacified your young friend?”
Uncle Olsen smiled and replied, “Yes. The day after tomorrow, I'll return to
Clance don't forget our dinner
date.”
The young lady said, “Don’t worry. I won't forget! I've spoken to my mom, and I'll
bring her along- so you can see what the world’s greatest mother looks like!”
Uncle Olsen smiled, teasing her. “Alright, we'll see if your mom is better than
mine.”
Keira didn’t return the handbag.
An item worth tens of thousands of dollars didn’t
to be returned.
She casually tossed it aside and had breakfast with
Lewis.
Today's breakfast consisted of nice pastries. Lewis picked up a slice of apple pie
for her. Keira bit into it, and her eyes lit up instantly. “It's delicious!”
“Really?”

Lewis smiled, leaned over, and ate the remaining half
of the pie from her plate, then looked at her lips with a smile. “It's indeed
delicious.”
Keira was dumbfounded.
She felt like she was being teased!
It seemed that since last night, this man had become bolder.
Keira immediately stuffed another piece of pie into her mouth, viciously biting
down, yet she didn’t realize that what she took for a ferocious look was full of
enchanting vibrancy to Lewis.
Old Mrs. Horton burped beside them, feeling full from the couple's public display
of affection.
After the meal, Lewis turned to Keira and said, “I need to go to the office to
handle some affairs; I'll return for
lunch and can work from home in the afternoon.”
Keira knew that he was voluntarily sharing his schedule with her.
She nodded with a smile.
Lewis turned to leave, but at that moment, his phone
suddenly rang.

That ringtone made Keira's heart skip a beat, a bad premonition swiftly seizing
her.
Lewis took out his phone, saw that it was a call from Tom, and his expression
instantly froze at whatever
was said on the other end!
Seeing him standing still, Keira immediately approached him, her eyebrows
knitting with concern as she asked, “What happened?”
Lewis clenched his jaw, his face as dark as brooding waters; the sense of relief
that had come from shedding invisible pressures and burdens since the previous
night suddenly vanished.
The fleeting relief felt like a surge of seawater, assaulting him once again.
As if drowning, he tightly grabbed Keira’s hand and slowly said, “Madeleine
jumped off a building.”
In the hospital.
Inside the emergency room, Madeleine was breathing faintly, her body covered in
blood.
Doctors and nurses were coming and going carrying

many bags of blood.
Keira stood with Lewis outside the operating room, both looking at the woman on
the hospital bed.
Her thin arms and legs extended outward, her complexion pale, and her body
had multiple abrasions. With internal damage, she was continuously bleeding.
Upon rough calculation, Keira found that Madeleine's body had been through the
equivalent of four complete blood transfusions.
She had jumped from the tenth floor of the psychiatric hospital, and by the time
she was brought to the emergency room, she had already stopped breathing.
A critical condition notice had been issued four times
already...
Previously, Keira had thought Madeleine was being melodramatic with her fasting
and suicide attempts, all just to threaten Lewis.
She never imagined that without Lewis, Madeleine truly didn’t want to live
anymore.
She looked toward Lewis again.
The man’s face remained cold, his gaze fixed stiffly on

the person on the hospital bed, his eyes flickering with profound, complex
emotions, making it impossible for Keira to discern his thoughts.
Lewis had actually foreseen this outcome when he made that decision the day
before.
He was well aware of Madeleine's severe psychological issues. It wasn't a lie.
But knowing and seeing firsthand were two different things; the frail Madeleine on
the hospital bed reminded him of his childhood.

Therefore, the food they prepared for him was always poisoned.
He dared not eat it.
Other children, starving, would obediently eat, but he didn't.
The other kids thought he was haughty, unaware that he couldn't eat...

He was only nine years old. He was famished late into the night, too hungry to
sleep...
He felt he was on the verge of starving to death.
Even in the dead of night, he saw a black cat leap into the room, its dark eyes
staring at him.
He seemed to recall a fairy tale book that mentioned black cats were the
harbingers of death, that they
would eat the soul of a person after death.
Looking into those pupils, he felt a genuine fear.
He didn’t want to die-he still had his grandmother...
It was then that the door creaked open, and a small figure slipped in. She chased
away the black cat and took out a piece of bread from her pocket.
She said, “Big brother, don't starve yourself any more. Eat this. Once a person
dies, there's nothing left...”
His survival in the hands of the traffickers wasn't just because of her help in the
end, but also her secret feedings during those three months.
The debt he owed her was far more than just his life!
Lewis clenched his fists tightly.

As the head of the hospital spoke these words, he noticed the ashen face of
Lewis and immediately fell
silent.
Lewis's jaw was tight as he muttered to himself, “Was it my fault?”
Keira knew that he was drowning in guilt.
But she didn’t know what to say to comfort him...
She said instinctively, “You're not to blame. I once saved a big brother too...”
Lewis looked at her. “What big brother?”
