My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 313 - 312
Chapter 312
Lewis instinctively looked toward Keira, asking with his eyes: can I tell her?
….
After a night of unreserved conversation, Keira told Lewis about Keera’s cause of death and incidentally mentioned her mother’s situation.
Lewis had said at the time, “I’ve been helping out with Mrs. Olsen’s issue, but so far, there’s no news.”
Setting aside the cordial relationship between Lewis and Uncle Olsen, the fact that Mrs. Olsen was Keira’s mother meant that Lewis had always taken the matter seriously.
However, he hadn’t understood the reasons before, but now he did.
After sharing information, they realized that, given the backgrounds of both the Horton and the Olsen families, the fact that they couldn’t find the “South family” indicated just how mysterious the South family actually was.
The only way to save her mother was to lure the snakes out of their hole!
The South family would be in touch with Keera, so Keira couldn’t resume her identity for the moment; she had to continue posing as Keera to entice them to make contact.
Lewis, wanting to avoid his appearance linking Keera with Keira, decided after some thought to conceal his identity and stay by Keira’s side.
He coughed and was about to conjure up a name or something when Mary laughed. “No way? Keera, have you finally turned things around? Your little boyfriend, he’s really under your thumb, isn’t he? He doesn’t dare utter his name?”
Lewis was speechless.
He said nothing.
Mary didn’t fuss over this and instead felt happy for Keira.
At that moment, her phone buzzed again.
She glanced down at it, and her brows knitted together. “Damn it!”
Keira asked casually, “What’s wrong?”
Mary sighed. “My uncle is really something… Hearing that Lewis has come to Clance, he told me to find an opportunity to ‘bump into’ him, to try…”
“Ahem!”
Keira instinctively glanced at Lewis.
Mary said indignantly, “Can you believe it? Does he think I can’t get married? He wants me to seduce Lewis? I’ve heard he just lost his wife! He’s a widower!!”
“Pfft!”
Keira couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of water again!
Then she looked at Mary with an expression that was hard to describe… and behind her, Lewis with a similarly indescribable expression.
Keira coughed. “Well, Mary, Lewis is actually quite all right…”
Mary huffed. “His background isn’t bad, and marrying him would make someone a family head’s wife, on par with the top five families, but what if this Lewis is old and ugly? He’s almost thirty… However, I’m not interested in him. As for those unmarried girls in Clance, who knows!”
Keira was dumbfounded.
She coughed and pointed at Lewis. “What do you think of him?”
Mary said, “Of course, he’s a cute little puppy. Looks as if he’s just in his early twenties, right?”
Lewis, who was “in his early twenties”, had by now gone completely expressionless.
Struggling to keep a straight face, Keira said, “Alright, aren’t we supposed to go to the hospital? I’ll change my clothes and be right there!”
Hearing that, Mary was slightly startled and nodded.
Keira then went inside.
Lewis followed her like a little tail.
At the moment, he felt very insecure, worried that in the blink of an eye, Keira might disappear again…
Seeing him like this, Keira couldn’t help but say, “Can you stop following me?”
Lewis said, “You’re in a dangerous situation right now. I get worried if I don’t follow you.”
In fact, he had secretly been following her for a month!
Keira said in resignation, “But in what capacity will you follow me around? If someone recognizes you, it’s easy to link me with Keira.”
Lewis looked down. “Shall I be your bodyguard?”
Keira was dumbfounded.
She turned around, wrapped her arm around his neck, leaned in close, and whispered, “Just now, Mary said, many women in Clance are eyeing you… Are you sure about being a bodyguard for a twice-married woman with a child?”
Lewis immediately tightened his embrace around Keira’s waist and said outright, “As your friend said, I’m an old and ugly widower, a perfect match for you!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She resignedly responded, “Then suit yourself, but still be careful not to reveal your identity.”
“Okay.”
Keira changed her clothes and handed a black cap to Lewis. He wore a white T-shirt and white cotton pants, topped off with the black cap, radiating a youthful vibe that refreshed Keira. When they left and descended the stairs, Mary approached them. “What’s going on? Can’t bear to part?”
Keira coughed and explained, “He wants to be our driver.”
“That’s fine then.”
Mary tossed her car keys to Lewis and took a seat in the back with Keira.
On the way to the hospital, Mary started looking up information online. “Keera, it seems that aborting a baby requires at least 42 days into pregnancy…”
Keira said, “For medication abortion, there shouldn’t be a time limit, I think.”
“Really?”
Mary continued, “Do you think the baby feels anything right now? Would it hurt if I had an abortion?”
Keira explained, “It shouldn’t, because it’s only a fertilized egg at this point.”
Mary didn’t know what to say.
She couldn’t help but look at Keira. “Keera, why aren’t you persuading me to keep the baby?”
Keira smiled, looking straight at her. “Do you want to keep it?”
“Of course not.”
“Then there’s nothing to persuade. Don’t be afraid, I’ve heard from people that an abortion is quick. Just lie down and sleep, and when you wake up, the baby will be gone.”
Mary fell silent.
Although Keira knew Mary was reluctant to go through with it, she still deliberately said those words because she understood that the more she spoke like that, the harder it would be for Mary to let go.
Sure enough, when they reached the hospital entrance, Mary stared at the sign and couldn’t bring herself to step inside.
Outside the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
Keira helped Mary get a number and then waited with her on a bench for their number to be called.
Mary was very nervous, her palms sweating.
Outside the hospital.
When Ellis walked out of the hospital, he happened to see Lewis and was surprised, “Lewis? It really is you! What are you doing dressed like that, and here of all places?!”
Lewis lazily looked up at him.
The listless expression on his face was swept away. “And what brings you here?”
Ellis replied, “A friend of mine is sick, so I came to visit… What are you doing at an obstetrics and gynecology hospital? Is it…”
His gaze swept over Lewis’s groin. “You have some kind of hidden condition?”
Lewis was speechless.
Watching Ellis’s smug expression, remembering when he had come to offer a few words of sympathy during his own moments of deep sorrow, and then thinking of Mary on her way to get an abortion…
From the snippets of conversations between Mary and Keira, he had figured out that the child was likely Ellis’s.
And here was this guy, leisurely enjoying the show…
Lewis suddenly took on a teasing smile. “I don’t need to prove anything to you, but I think you should be more concerned about yourself.”
Ellis immediately jumped. “Concerned about myself for what? I’m absolutely fine!”
“Really?”
Lewis smiled. “I just thought I saw Miss Mary Davis heading upstairs to the obstetrics and gynecology department…”
Ellis was suddenly taken aback. “What?!”
