Chapter 183 Uncle Olsen
Keira stood up excitedly in an instant, ready to speak, but Taylor was even more agitated than her. He sat directly on the hospital bed and began to call out, âShirley, Shirley⊠can you hear me?â
âŠ.
Taylorâs eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes as if he was about to cry.
Keira pursed her lips and said nothing, still staring at Mrs. Olsen. However, her eyes only moved slightly before stopping again, seemingly falling back to sleep.
Keira frowned.
Taylor became puzzled as well, âShirley? Shirley? Wake upâŠâ
Mrs. Olsen was motionless.
Keira faintly felt something wasnât right. She stepped forward, only to see Taylor was even more panicked than she was, and he immediately pressed the call button on the wall.
Very soon, the doctor entered the room.
He was startled by the bodyguards outside and got infected by the confrontational mood, but as he was used to dealing with VIP ward patients, he quickly calmed down.
âWhatâs the matter?â
The doctor asked.
Taylor asked, âMy wifeâs eyes were moving just now, and it seemed like she was going to wake up. Why hasnât she woken up yet?â
The doctor also checked the time.
The nurse beside him immediately reminded him, âThe patient suffered from anger-induced collapse, and we just checked it. By all accounts, she should have woken up within half an hour, but itâs already been forty minutesâŠâ
The doctor immediately said, âLetâs have a look.â
The doctors and nurses began to bustle about.
Outside the door.
Lewis also frowned. He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Tom. âBring over the best experts from Oceanion!â
After sending the message, he didnât enter the room but continued to stand guard.
Isla became a bit anxious and looked at Ellis.
But she noticed that he was persuaded by Lewis, not intending to call the bodyguards over again, and was only standing outside, craning his neck to wait for results.
The door was open, and they could hear the doctorâs conversation inside from where they stood.
Isla frowned.
This couldnât be happening⊠with Ellisâs arrival, the influence of the Clance Olsen family was present, which could counterbalance against Lewis. If even he lost sympathy for her, what would she use to fight with Keira?
With these thoughts, Islaâs eyes flickered.
She suddenly rushed toward the hospital room, crying out, âMom, how is my mom?â
But she was easily stopped by a black-clothed bodyguard.
Isla struggled fiercely, but the bodyguardâs arm was like an immovable barrier, preventing her from breaking free and entering the door.
This was the effect Isla wanted.
She lowered her eyes and suddenly turned to kneel in front of Lewis with a loud âthumpâ!
Everyone was stunned by her actions, and then they heard her crying out, âUncle Lewis, I beg you, let me in. Thatâs my mother⊠what exactly is wrong with her? Why hasnât she woken up? Uncle Lewis, I know I havenât been nice to Keira usually. Iâm sorry! May I kneel to her? Please!â
Her face was streaked with tears.
Jake couldnât help feeling pity and immediately spoke up. âUncle Lewis! The Horton family follows your lead, but you canât be this tyrannical! Mrs. Olsen is Islaâs mother! Isla has the right to enter!â
Ellis immediately knit his brows, âLewis, let her in.â
Regardless of the relationship between Mrs. Olsen and Keira, Isla was her daughter, and Mrs. Olsen would definitely want to see Isla first when she was gravely ill!
Lewis looked toward the hospital room.
Keira had heard their argument from the start, and now Islaâs crying was annoying. She suddenly turned her head and fiercely looked at Isla. âYou can come in, but if I hear you crying again, Iâll personally throw her out the window!â
Isla immediately closed her mouth.
The bodyguards outside heard this and hesitated for a moment. Initially, they wanted to wait for their bossâs instructions, but then they remembered Lewisâs demeanor earlier in the day, so they immediately stepped aside without hesitation.
Isla finally entered the door.
It was then that Ellis turned to Lewis, âWithout Keira speaking, were you really not planning to let Mrs. Olsenâs biological daughter in? Lewis, youâre being too tyrannical! Let me tell you, Mrs. Olsen was a friend of Uncle Olsen, and with me here, I absolutely wonât allow you to bully her!â
Lewis paid him no heed.
Next to him, Jakeâs gaze intensely focused on the ward, where Islaâs slender figure seemed to be swaying on the verge of collapse as if she would fall at any moment.
She had knelt down with too much force just before, and now her knees hurt a bit, so after walking a couple of steps, she bent over to massage her knees. Without a doubt, they must have bruised.
He addressed Lewis. âUncle, even if you wonât consider my feelings, you should at least be kinder to her for the sake of the Hortonâs heir in Islaâs belly!â
These words made Lewisâs eyes darken.
The child in Islaâs womb belonged to that Connor Hill in jail, and both Keira and Isla knew it.
Keira hadnât exposed it because she didnât want to make a fuss, and also because Jake now seemed more like a stranger to her.
But upon hearing this, Lewis couldnât help but retort. âAre you certain that itâs Horton blood?â
Jake immediately frowned. âUncle, what do you mean by that? I know what I have done. Arenât I clear on that? The child in Islaâs belly is mine!â
Lewis scoffed. âI suggest you still find the time to do a check-up, lest you become a cuckhold husband.â
But Jake still didnât believe it. âIsla is the Olsen familyâs eldest daughter, not someone who messes around. Sheâs never even dated anyone from childhood. She has only had me in her heart. If itâs not mine, then whose could it be? Uncle, come to think of it, you and Keira have been married for two years with no news. Is it possible that thereâs something wrong with you?â
Lewis immediately gave him a cold look.
Jake got scared and lowered his head, muttering, âMy mom said that we must protect the child in Islaâs belly at all cost. You donât have children of your own and are jealous of mine⊠it turns out she guessed right!â
Lewis chuckled coldly, feeling that he really shouldnât have said anything.
He looked at Jake mockingly. âWhether the child is yours or not is none of my business. I was just kindly giving you a reminder. After all, she was pregnant before marriage, right? Are you sure youâre her only man?â
Jake was taken aback, his tone unsure, but he stubbornly retorted, âOf course! Iâm certain!â
âAs you wish.â
Leaving behind those words, Lewis entered the ward and walked up to Keira.
Seeing this, Jake tried to follow but was stopped by the black-clothed bodyguards.
Inside the ward.
After completing all the examinations, the attending doctor frowned. âThe patientâs condition is a bit strange. She should have woken up by now, but she remains unconscious. Yet, all her vital signs are normal and thereâs no sign of waking. Thatâs really rareâŠâ
Upon hearing this, Keira immediately grew anxious.
Next to her, Lewis took her hand. âIâve already had Tom call in all the neurology experts from Oceanion. Mrs. Olsen will be alright!â
After hearing this, Keira nodded.
Outside, Ellis was dumbstruck.
What was going on here?
Wasnât Mrs. Olsen supposed to be fine? Why hadnât she woken up?
He was getting a bit panicked when his phone rang at that moment.
Ellis hesitantly looked down and saw Uncle Olsenâs call come through!
Ellis jumped with a start and immediately answered, âUncle OlsenâŠâ
âWhich ward?â
A deep, mature voice came through the phone.
After Ellis reported the ward number, he was confused. âDid you know Mrs. Olsen was sick? I mean⊠how did you know?â
To keep Uncle Olsen from worrying, he hadnât mentioned it at all!
But as soon as these words left his mouth, he thought of the bodyguards who followed him, some of whom were Uncle Olsenâs menâŠ
Ellis understood, then asked further, âAre you coming to Oceanion? Just bring some of Clanceâs experts with you⊠Mrs. Olsenâs condition doesnât seem good here.â
The voice on the other end became urgent, âHow bad is it?â
âSheâs been unconscious all this while,â replied Ellis. As he was speaking, he heard the honking on the other end and hesitated to ask, âAre you on your way here? Where are you now?â
âHospital entrance.â
The icy voice was laced with unease.
