My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 239 - Deliver the Package
Deliver the Package
Samuel’s tone was ominous. “If you can’t give me a definite answer today, this matter won’t end! Don’t think your Horton Group can just bully people as you please!”
….
Tom said helplessly, “That was when they were kids. My boss didn’t tell me the details. I guessed it from what Miss Davis usually says.”
Samuel kept cursing. “An incident from childhood is even more ridiculous, right? Can you confirm that Miss Davis is indeed the one who saved his life? Don’t get the wrong person again!”
Tom sighed. “We can confirm it. Although Miss Davis said the token was sold by her mother, we conducted a lie detector test on her and could confirm she wasn’t lying.” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮
“Is that Miss Davis really mentally ill?”
“Yes, we’ve consulted many experts both domestically and abroad; she has severe claustrophobia and autism. My boss is her only redemption and hope for life…”
Tom looked at them, trying to explain on behalf of Lewis. “Miss Olsen, I know you must be blaming my boss right now, but my boss never planned on marrying Miss Davis. It’s only her wishful thinking! All these years, my boss has been paying for her medical treatment, but all the doctors said her condition was too severe…”
Tom sighed. “I’ve been monitoring her all these years, thinking what if Miss Davis makes a mistake? If she could just slip up, I could persuade my boss to give her up. But she hasn’t, and the only excessive thing she did in all these years was during that birthday banquet, pretending to be Mrs. Horton for a moment, but later she gave a reasonable explanation, saying it was because everyone just assumed she was, and she feared denying it would cause trouble for my boss. Since then, she’s been staying quietly in the psychiatric hospital…”
Hearing this, Samuel felt it was ridiculous. “Is she so innocent? What should we do then? It’s not like every time she tries to kill herself, Lewis should go watch over her, right? Then what’s the point of my boss’s marriage?”
Tom gave a wry smile. “I guess that’s why my boss decisively chose Miss Olsen and gave up on Miss Davis previously. But after all, she saved his life once. Can he really just watch her die?”
Samuel was silent for a moment.
As a man, he always understood how important a sense of responsibility was.
If Lewis could be this ruthless toward Madeleine now, could he one day be just as ruthless toward Keira?
The two of them fell silent for a moment.
Keira, with her eyes downcast, said, “The public opinion that has come up is a bit baffling. You two go find out what’s happening.”
Tom immediately said, “We’ve looked into it. The first branch of the family is making trouble.”
“Then press it down hard. Don’t let this matter get more attention.”
Tom immediately nodded. “I will.”
Samuel sneered. “The trending topic may have been suppressed, but now someone is broadcasting live from the hospital!”
After hanging up, Keira opened Samuel’s live broadcast.
The live broadcast was evidently started by a journalist, and although the Horton family’s security guards blocked them from getting close, one could still glimpse inside the ward.
Madeleine kept holding Lewis’s hand, not letting him leave.
It was only after her body could finally withstand a large dose of sedatives that she at last calmed down.
And so, Lewis was freed.
The journalist, unable to get close to Lewis for an interview, stood in front of the camera and began. “The only redemption in her life is him, yet Mr. Horton has cruelly given up on her – how is this different from sending someone to their death? How can Mr. Horton be so heartless?”
“This is Gossip Daily, and we will keep an eye on this news until the end.”
Keira turned off the live broadcast.
Both in her vision and in her mind were images of Lewis’s back in front of Madeleine’s bed.
That back, once as solid as a mountain that provided a sense of reliability, now seemed on the verge of being crushed.
Keira suddenly felt a bit sorry for him.
The night deepened gradually.
Madeleine’s condition stabilized, and her life was no longer in danger.
Lewis finally returned to the Horton residence.
He didn’t get out of the car, but sat inside, lighting a cigarette.
Flashes of the doctor’s words sparked in his mind. “Miss Davis’s will to live is very weak. If you really are not coming to accompany her any further, then there is no need for further rescue because she’ll definitely attempt suicide a second time… Even if we can
monitor her at all times, what can we do if she is
determined to die and refuses food and drink?
Moreover, she has a hundred ways to kill herself, and
we just need a moment of negligence… Mr. Horton, I’m sorry, I cannot guarantee the patient’s safety.”
Lewis took a deep drag of his cigarette.
Then he finally got out of the car.
Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard was very quiet.
Lewis quietly entered his own bedroom, and as soon as
he entered the door, he saw a familiar silhouette
sitting on the sofa in the dim room.
Lewis was slightly startled and was about to say something when he heard Keira.
“Let’s get a divorce.”
Keira’s voice was very faint.
At the same time, the courier had driven for six hours
and finally arrived at 76 Glow Village.
The more he drove, the more alarmed he became.
Because No. 76 wasn’t just any small village house. This imposing big tile-roofed house stretched down an
entire street!
It was clearly a grand family estate, the ancestral home
here.

entrance and then knocked on the door.
Someone came to open the door.
The courier asked, “Excuse me, is there someone
called ‘Stubborn Five’ here?”
The servant immediately frowned. “What Stubborn Five? Never heard of that name! Go away!”
It was his boss’s package, and he had promised to deliver it, so the courier refused to leave. Instead, he
_started shouting. “Stubborn Five! Stubborn Five! You
have a package!”
Mr. Horton, who had just entered the courtyard, heard the argument at the entrance and was slightly taken aback. He came over and asked with a frown.
“Whose package is it?”
The servant said, “This courier says it’s for Stubborn Five. We don’t have anyone by that name in our house. I told him he’s got the wrong place, but he won’t leave!”
No sooner had the servant finished speaking than Mr. Horton’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked,
“Who?”
“Stubborn Five!”
Mr. Horton immediately became excited, stepping forward to face the courier. “Yes, yes, there is such a person in the house!”
After being kidnapped and returned home, Lewis would run to the front gate every day to wait for his
mail.
Later, when he was about to go abroad, he repeatedly instructed if anyone sent him a letter, they must
remember to tell him.
Even after going abroad, he would still call every three or five days to ask if anyone had sent him a letter…
He only stopped in the past couple of years.
He immediately took the package from the courier and looked at the driver. “Make another trip. Take it to
Lewis!”
He thought of Lewis’s previous instructions and said, “Make sure to hand it to him personally!”
The courier thought of his boss’s request to deliver the package directly to the recipient, and immediately added, “I’ll go with you!”
