Chapter 206: Chapter 206

The girl was dressed in casual clothes, with her long hair draped behind her.

When she and Lewis Horton came downstairs, the car was already parked in front of them in the parking lot.

The girl and Lewis Horton hopped into the car, and it immediately drove off.

Uncle Olsen, however, stared in the direction the car had left, his eyes going wide.

The parking lot was quite far from the entrance, and he hadn’t been able to see Keira Olsen’s face clearly, but her bamboo-like demeanor was so distinctive that he recognized at once she must be Jodie South’s daughter.

He stared blankly as they departed, not taking his eyes off until the car had left the hospital and was out of sight, only then did he look away.

Ellis Olsen saw his distracted expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, what’s wrong?”

Uncle Olsen sighed quietly, “It’s nothing.”

Ellis nodded, “Our doctors have also visited Mrs. Olsen, and they all say there’s nothing wrong. Mrs. Olsen fainted due to excessive anxiety and worry. It seems like a self-protection mechanism of the body, to let her rest properly, which is why she still hasn’t woken up. There’s no threat to her life, so are you planning to return to Clance now, or stay here for a few more days?”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen pursed his lips.

He had known for a while that Jodie South was fine and had planned to secretly leave after standing up for her daughter.

But that one glance had stirred something in him.

He had an intuition that he needed to meet Jodie South’s daughter.

As to why, he didn’t know himself.

Perhaps because he and Jodie South had agreed never to meet again in this life, he wanted to see her shadow in her daughter.

Thinking this, Uncle Olsen looked at Ellis, “Let’s stay in Oceanion for a few days.”

“Then I’ll stay with you; there are pretty fun things to do here.”

…

Keira Olsen wasn’t concerned about Uncle Olsen and Ellis Olsen’s affairs.

The car sped along the road and soon returned to the Horton residence. As soon as the car stopped, Lewis Horton hurriedly pushed open the door and charged into Old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard.

Keira Olsen was a little slower. By the time she entered, she saw Nathan Horton, Oliver Horton, and Melissa Knight; Jake Horton was already there.

Seeing Lewis Horton, Nathan Horton was the first to get angry, “Old Mrs. Horton always doted on you the most, but where were you when she wasn’t feeling well?! All you know is to hang around this woman every day, are you worthy of Old Mrs. Horton?”

Lewis Horton clenched his jaw, knowing full well the remark was unreasonable but he wasn’t in the mood to argue. Instead, he went into the bedroom to look at Old Mrs. Horton, who was sleeping on the bed.

Following him into the room, Keira Olsen saw the usually sprightly old lady now lying there quietly asleep, breathing steadily. Both she and Lewis Horton then breathed a sigh of relief.

The two quietly left the bedroom and went outside.

Lewis Horton asked the family doctor, “How is grandma doing right now?”

The family doctor had just examined Old Mrs. Horton and immediately responded, “Mr. Horton, the old lady’s condition… has worsened, and although she’s okay for now, I’m afraid she may not make it through the year.”

The doctors had already reached this conclusion, so none of the family members were surprised by this statement.

There were still two months until the New Year…

Lewis Horton clenched his fists tightly, his eyes reddening slightly.

Keira Olsen stepped forward, about to offer comfort, when Lewis had already turned back to the family doctor, “Is there any other way?”

That doctor was Lewis’s trusted confidante, and upon hearing the question, he opened his mouth, “The matter you’ve been asking me to inquire about has shown promise, Researcher Nora’s lab just recently introduced a drug, currently in clinical trials, their lab in Clance is recruiting patients, and that drug is, so far, the best cure available… If we could use it on Old Mrs. Horton, she might pull through this tough time, but…”

Lewis’s brows and eyes sank, “But what?”

The doctor sighed, “The volunteer patients they recruit are typically treated for free, to assist with the experiments. So, they usually require staying in their designated hospital, and Old Mrs. Horton’s physical condition is currently not suitable for moving. The journey from Oceanion to Clance is not only far, but the environment in Clance is also not suitable for the old lady. Moreover, the patients they recruit are usually on the younger side. Old Mrs. Horton is now 86 years old; she no longer has any experimental value, and basically, no lab would be willing to accept her.”

Lewis tightened his jaw, “Then purchase their biotech company!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Oliver Horton couldn’t help but interject, “Lewis, that’s a bit arrogant of you. Nora is from Divall Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Corporation of M country, and Divall is one of the top pharmaceutical companies abroad. Not to mention whether the Horton Family has the assets to acquire them, even if we did have enough money, they wouldn’t just let you take over!”

Lewis gave him a dismissive glance.

He had already sent people to make contact for the sake of obtaining this special medication.

With some influence overseas and plenty of money, including the pressure from his own power, the other party had already softened, but since Nora holds forty percent of the company’s shares, they need her consent to go through with the acquisition.

However, Nora was elusive, and he had not been able to make contact with her yet.

With just her signature, the merger would be successful.

Lewis didn’t say much more but instead looked again at the family doctor, “Purchasing their company might take too long. I don’t care by what means, but you must help grandma get that medication!”

The family doctor lowered his head, “Yes.”

Keira Olsen’s eyes flickered upon seeing this.

She didn’t want to reveal her identity as Researcher Nora because several technology companies abroad had taken an interest in her skills and had been trying to lure her away.

Those people were cruel and ruthless, without any boundaries, and Keira did not want to become entangled with them, so always kept a low profile.

Keira Olsen spoke up, “I know about this, I’ve sent grandma’s case to the research institute in Clance…”

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Oliver Horton, “What’s the use of sending it randomly? Didn’t you hear what the family doctor said? Grandma is 86 years old; she has no experimental value. I’ve heard that their institute is impervious to influence. Many powerful and influential families couldn’t get a spot by pressuring them, and since our family has no connections in Clance, we’ve been out of touch there for so many years because Lewis refused to cooperate with Clance… In the end, all of this, it’s your fault, Lewis!”

Lewis’s gaze turned cold, “What did you say?”

Nathan Horton scoffed, “Is your older brother wrong? If you could swallow your so-called pride and ask your mother to help the Horton Family break into the Clance market, we wouldn’t be in such a passive position now!”

Oliver looked towards Keira Olsen, “You are even sending resumes to research institutes in Clance, what use would that be? You might as well go and ask the Clance Olsen Family for help… perhaps they could do something!”

Keira Olsen scoffed in return and asked, “How do you know it won’t be helpful?”
