Chapter 192 Get Lost
Lewis and Uncle Olsen turned to look at Ellis who had abruptly interrupted them.
âŠ.
Then, both men opened their mouths at the same time and blurted out the same thing.
âGet lost!â
âGet lost!â
Ellis was speechless.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to help himself. âThe understanding between you two makes one think youâre family. Uncle, I know youâre fond of Lewis and want him to marry a girl from our family, and I also want him to marry my cousin. It allows me to show off being the older cousin in front of him! Keep it up!â
Having said that, Ellis reluctantly took a step back.
But his interjection had indeed diffused the formerly tense atmosphere.
Lewis looked at Uncle Olsen again. âIâm flattered.â
Uncle Olsen scoffed coldly. âDonât think that by saying that Iâll let that illegitimate daughter off the hook. Iâm here this time to clear all obstacles for Jodie!â
Lewis sighed. âI can understand that you want to protect Mrs. Olsen, but Keira is my wife, and itâs my responsibility to protect her. Uncle, Iâm afraid Iâm going to offend you this time.â
Uncle Olsen squinted his eyes, emitting an aura of risking it all. âThen letâs try.â
The situation downstairs was tense.
Upstairs in the hospital ward, Keira was also secretly worried about Lewis. She stood by the window, looking down at the situation in the parking lot.
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps rang out, and Keira turned to see Poppy rushing into the ward.
Her gaze landed first on Taylor; her pupils shrank slightly at his appearance, clearly pained. She approached him. âTaylor, youâŠâ
âGet out.â
Taylor didnât have the strength to speak loudly, but his short reply was powerful enough to leave Poppy speechless.
She awkwardly stepped back, then turned her fierce gaze toward Keira, storming over to her and raising her hand to strike her. âYou bitch, I heard you caused Islaâs miscarriage? The Olsen family raised you, and Isla is your master. How dare you treat her like this? Iâll beat you to death!â
But before her hand could land on Keiraâs face, Keira grabbed her wrist and pushed her away forcefully.
Keira looked at her coldly. âDonât try to control me with that old routine again. Iâm grown up now, Poppy, we have no relation anymore!â
âNo relation?â
Poppy snorted with disdain. âIâm your mother. How could there be no relation between us? Keira, the blood in your veins is mine. If you want to sever ties with me, youâd have to bleed out completely! You canât do it; you canât pay it back! You must follow my words! You go now, immediately, this instant, and apologize to Isla. Beg for her forgiveness on your knees! And if she doesnât forgive you, youâll have to remove your uterus as recompense!â
Keiraâs eyes widened in shock.
She started to doubt whether she had heard the woman correctly.
Although she had always known Poppy disliked and despised her, she never imagined Poppy could say such cruel words!
Remove her uterus? Just to earn Islaâs forgiveness?
She couldnât help but laugh.
That laughter was bitter but tinged with a sense of release.
Yes, her mother had never loved her.
Seeing no response from her, Poppy said, âDid you hear me? I told you to remove your uterus. Iâll book the surgery for you right now. You caused Isla to lose a child, so Iâll make sure you can never have children as punishment!â
She grabbed Keiraâs arm, trying to pull her out.
But Keira just stood there, and she couldnât get out the door.
Poppy turned around and glared at her. âKeira! Do you dare to disobey me? Get down on your knees!â
âGet downâŠâ
These two words were the ones that Keira had heard the most from her childhood. Every time Poppy got angry, the first thing she would say was these two words.
And then she would take out the homemade whip and lash out mercilessly at her!
Keiraâs gaze turned even colder, and she replied, âPoppy, I wonât listen to you anymore.â
âWhat did you call me? You unfilial daughter, ungrateful wretch! I gave birth to you; is this how you repay me? Keira, do you believe Iâll call the police right now, claiming you refuse to provide for me in my old age? I will take you to court and have you jailed!â
Poppy was jumping madly, her voice spreading from the hospital roomâŠ
In Islaâs hospital room.
They could vaguely hear something, and Isla immediately threw off the blankets and got out of bed. âWhatâs going on with my mom? Iâll check on herâŠâ
Jake immediately supported her arm, âIâll go with you.â
But Isla paused slightly in her steps. âOkay.â
They quickly arrived at Mrs. Olsenâs hospital room, and as soon as they entered, they heard Poppyâs shrieking. âYou bastard! Youâre an illegitimate daughter! How dare you treat Miss Isla like this? Youâre utterly heartless!â
Isla immediately said, âAunt Hill? What are you doing here?â
Upon hearing this, Poppy immediately turned her head to look at them, then âbangâ, she knelt down in front of Isla, âMiss Isla, itâs all Keiraâs fault. I apologize on her behalf! She must be jealous of you and young Mr. Horton, thatâs why she did such a thing. Test assured, Iâll make her give you an explanation!â
Islaâs eyes flickered, âAunt Hill, donât say that⊠After all, she is also Dadâs daughter and my sister⊠Let it be. I wonât pursue this matter anymore. Letâs leave it at that!â
Jake immediately said, âIsla, no, I donât agree. This matter must be explained by her!â
Isla sighed. âJake, my mom is still unconscious, and she also liked Keira a lot. I donât want to make her wake up to this and be in pain againâŠâ
Jake was stunned.
Hearing this, Poppy immediately looked at Keira. âDid you hear that? Arenât you going to thank Miss Isla? Sheâs so magnanimous and is able to let go of such a thing⊠Kneel and bow to her right now!â
Keira didnât move but scoffed. âNice acting.â
Jake instantly became furious. âKeira, enough is enough! Isla has been yielding time and again only to be pushed further by you! I knew it, ungrateful wretches like you can never be satisfied. Your appetite grows larger and larger, and youâre utterly shameless! I tell you, even if Isla no longer pursues it, Iâll pursue it to the end with you! Youâve killed my child, and Iâll never let this go!â
âYour child?â Keira scoffed, âWait until the test results come back, then weâll see if itâs your child or not!â
Jake sneered. âAt this point, you still have the nerve to talk back!â
While they were talking, Tom had already obtained the DNA test results and rushed in briskly. âMiss Olsen, Boss requested an expedited comparison of the embryo and Mr. Jakeâs DNA, and the result is out!â
Upon hearing this, Keira looked up.
Islaâs pupils shrank!
Werenât they supposed to take three more hours?! Why was it expedited?!
