My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

255 Lewis, I'm Not Dead
Keira’s face still had iodine that hadn't been
completely wiped off, giving her skin a dark, sallow
tone.
But seeing her facial features, the butler felt he couldn't have possibly mistaken
them!
While he was still shocked, Howard had already handed over a bundle of
condolence money and said guiltily, “My wife, Keera, was a high school
classmate of
Horton. Hearing of Mrs. Horton's tragic passing, insisted on coming to pay her
respects.”
After that, he dragged Keira toward the mourning hall.
The butler stood there dumbfounded. He then looked
down at the money handed over by Howard, which
bore the wo

that woman had already blended into the crowd and disappeared into the
mourning hall.
The butler decided he definitely must have been
mistaken.
The mourning hall was set up in the middle of the main house, a spacious area
that made it convenient for everyone to view the body and offer incense to the
deceased.
No sooner had Keira entered with Howard than her gaze fell upon the coffin.
The coffin was placed at the front, with people blocking the way, not allowing
anyone to approach.
A person nearby explained, “Mrs. Horton fell into the sea and
bloated from the soaking. Her face decayed beyond recognition, so they're

Her gaze swept over the crowd in the mourning hall.
She saw Oliver and Melissa from the first branch of the family greeting outsiders,
their faces displaying sorrow, but their eyes betrayed a gleam of something else.
Next to them, Jake looked genuinely grieving, his eyes vacant, seemingly truly
heartbroken for her.
Keira withdrew her gaze, attempting to find other
familiar faces.
She didn’t see Mrs. Olsen...
With Mrs. Olsen's health condition, she must not have been able to withstand the
pain of losing a daughter. Had she fainted again?
But where was Lewis?
Just as she thought of this, she heard Melissa explaining to the mourners. Alas,
Lewis was so grief-stricken that he refused to acknowledge that the deceased
was his wife. Now, he's hiding in his room, refusing to come out and give his wife
her final
send-off..."
Upon these words, the people around started-

“Mr. Horton really loved his wife deeply, and he’s going to such lengths for Mrs.
Horton...”
“But I really feel that's not right. Mrs. Horton's body is
in such a state that it would be better to bury her sooner rather than later. His
sentimentality is getting in the way...”
“I always thought Mr. Horton was a rational man, but I ard that he hasn't even
been to the Horton Group ese past couple of days. Everything's being arranged
by Mr. Davis...”
Listening to these conversations, Keira lowered her
gaze.

255 Lewis, I'm Not Dead
Wearing clothes that weren't her usual style, all in the gentle styles of Keera,
barely anyone recognized Keira on her way here.
She quickly turned into old Mrs. Horton's courtyard.
Most of the servants were over at the main house helping out.
At the moment, Fiona was chatting with another
nanny.
Fiona, with a dolorous expression, asked, “Has the master not eaten yet?”
The other nodded, “Yeah, ever since the lady's body was fished up, Mr. Horton
has been beside himself...”
Fiona wiped away her tears. “He's deeply emotional. Old Mrs. Horton is also sick
with sorrow. Gosh!”
As they talked, they walked away.
Keira thought for a moment. She then headed to the small building in the
backyard and went straight up to the second floor, jumping onto the balcony of
Lewis's bedroom.
Through the glass window, she saw the man curled up,
leaning on the couch.

He couldn't believe it and rushed to the seaside, only o see Mrs. Olsen standing
there, flanked by Uncle Olsen and Taylor.
The salvage crew kept searching back and forth in the
water.
At that instant, he felt his legs go weak!
Every time the salvage crew surfaced, he hoped for news yet feared it at the
same time.
It had been over ten hours since the shipwreck... No
one could survive at sea for that long!
Keira must have been swept away by the current to
another shore... She could swim!
But a sentence from Samuel shattered his last
defenses.
Samuel, pacing anxiously beside him, muttered to himself, “It's over. My boss is
supposed to have her infusion today... She was meant to have it yesterday, but
because of the divorce scheduled for that afternoon, it was postponed to
tonight...”
Divorce...

As Lewis thought about this, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by thousands
of arrows, pain spreading
from his chest.
But these past two days, he had grown accustomed to the pain.
Holding his chest, he lit another cigarette.
Fiona’s knock came from outside the door. “Sir, Madam’s body is being taken to
the funeral home. Aren't you coming out to see it off?”
The always refined and gentlemanly man suddenly looked up.
Lewis's eyes reddened. He grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and hurled
it toward the door.

These words caused Keira, standing on the balcony, to feel a sudden twinge in
