Chapter 203 Dad

Chapter 203 Dad

Ellis always felt there was something strange between his third uncle and Mrs. Olsen.

….

His third uncle had always thought highly of Lewis and had specifically instructed him not to be his enemy, saying that after the family’s future was handed over, Lewis would need to take extra care of things.

It was as if Ellis wasn’t as good as Lewis… but that wasn’t the point.

The point was that this highly regarded Lewis almost had a fallout with his uncle over Mrs. Olsen.

So at first, Ellis speculated whether his uncle might be in love with Mrs. Olsen, or perhaps, Mrs. Olsen’s daughter could be his uncle’s daughter?

Lewis couldn’t be bothered with him.

Besides, this was Keira’s private matter, and it didn’t seem right to let everyone know that Mrs. Olsen had been unfaithful, so he didn’t say much.

Knowing his character, Ellis didn’t press him further but instead looked toward Keira, trying to find a trace of his uncle in her…

Keira stared at the emergency room. Just as she approached, the door of the emergency room burst open, and a doctor rushed out. “Where’s the family of the patient? The patient’s bleeding just won’t stop. Now, only removing the uterus can save her life! Will the family members confirm and sign the consent?”

Poppy immediately stepped forward. “I’m her mother. I’ll sign!”

But the doctor looked at her, “You are the patient’s mother?”

Poppy halted.

She currently wasn’t Isla’s mother on any legal documentation!

While she hesitated, another doctor’s urging voice came from inside. “Have they signed it yet? We’re struggling to hold on here!”

In urgency, Poppy was about to speak when Jake had already walked over. “I’ll sign. I’m her husband.”

He took over the medical record and signed his name on it.

Only then did the doctor rush back through the doors.

Poppy, grateful, grabbed his hand and wept. ” Mr. Horton, thank you. You and Isla are husband and wife after all. You have feelings for each other…”

However, Jake pulled his hand back, wiping it on his clothing. “This is the last thing I’ll do for her. I hope she’ll sign the divorce agreement after the surgery.”

Poppy immediately became anxious. “Mr. Horton, you can’t abandon Isla. Now that she’s had her uterus removed, she’ll never be able to have children again. She’s only twenty-two, so young, her whole life is ruined, you…”

Jake took a step back, took another long look at the emergency room, then turned and strode away.

Poppy, weeping bitterly, knelt on the ground, covering her face. “My poor Isla, how could you end up like this! Without a uterus, what man will marry you now…”

Poppy cried out in despair.

When she had switched the two children years ago, it was to give her own Isla a better life, so how did it come to this?

As Poppy thought of this, she abruptly raised her head. Seeing Keira, she immediately crawled over and pleaded. “Keira, ask Mr. Horton to order Jake not to get a divorce, please, for the sake of the fact that I raised you…”

Keira looked coldly at the woman in front of her.

As a child, Poppy was her nightmare.

Even after growing up, she would often dream of being back in her childhood, whipped by Poppy, feeling helpless and in agony.

So, what was Poppy thinking?

Thinking she would plead for her and Isla?

Keira smirked slightly, bending down a bit. “Poppy, do you know what I want to tell you now?”

“What?”

Keira’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and she clenched her fists tightly, expressing bitterly. “If murder wasn’t illegal, I would have already taken action against you and Isla by now!”

Poppy’s pupils constricted, and she collapsed to the ground.

A fierce and icy light flashed in her eyes, and suddenly she got up, pulling out a fruit knife from her pocket!

This fruit knife was taken from Mrs. Olsen’s ward just now, but at this moment, she had a mentality of mutual destruction and lunged at Keira’s chest with the knife!

“You bitch, it’s all because of you, all because of you, that my Isla ended up like this. Why did you reveal the truth? I should have killed you when you were a child! Then Isla wouldn’t have ended up like this today! I’ll kill you for Isla’s revenge!!”

Unfortunately, the next moment…

“Bang!”

Before Keira could react, and before Poppy even got close to her, Holly had already grabbed her arm, ready to kick Poppy.

But it seemed her leg fell short.

Poppy had already been kicked away by another powerful force!

It was Lewis!

Frowning, he immediately glanced at Keira, sighing inwardly. That was close! He nearly got kicked by Holly!

Why did she always try to steal his thunder?

Lewis gave Holly a glare.

On the other side, after Poppy was sent flying, she spat out a vicious mouthful of blood but quickly got up from the ground again, taking the knife to stab Keira once more!

“What the heck? You witch, aren’t you done yet?”

Ellis rushed to Poppy’s side again.

He remembered his uncle’s command. Not only did Poppy bully Keira, but now she was blaming everything on her?

He kicked Poppy’s knee hard.

With a “click,” Poppy’s knee dislocated, and she knelt on the ground with one knee.

“Ah!”

Poppy cried out in pain.

Ellis exclaimed again, “Gosh, man, you’re still holding a knife? That’s too dangerous!”

He quickly bent over and dislocated the arm Poppy wasn’t using to hold the knife!

Poppy was now in so much pain that she could only roll on the ground, even attempting to throw the knife away…

However, the next moment…

“You were actually thinking of throwing the knife to hurt someone? Miss Olsen, be careful!”

Along with those words, Ellis stepped on Poppy’s hand, dislocating her other arm, and then, as if by accident, he stepped and broke her other leg.

Poppy collapsed completely on the ground.

Finally, Ellis jumped to the side, “Whoa, that’s really scary. Officer Sims, right? This person is committing a violent act right here in public. Hurry up and take her away!”

Holly didn’t know what to say.

She already had a warrant for arrest, and now Poppy was holding a knife and suspected of attempting murder, even with police present, which could add charges like assaulting an officer and so on.

All these charges combined meant that Poppy would never get out of jail for the rest of her life!

Furthermore, although a dislocated arm might be manageable, Ellis had broken Poppy’s leg, shattering the bones. She probably wouldn’t be able to stand for the rest of her life.

Holly clenched her jaw and said nothing. Instead, she stepped forward. Ignoring Poppy’s dislocated arm, she twisted Poppy’s hands behind her back, and cuffed her.

Poppy’s vision went dark from the pain, and cold sweat drenched her forehead.

She rolled in agony on the floor, but the people in front of her just watched coldly without moving.

Unable to bear it, Poppy cried out, “You can’t do this to me! Keira, save me…”

Keira ignored her.

“Ungrateful creature, evil spawn!” Poppy roared, “Have you forgotten how you knelt and begged for mercy in front of me when you were a kid?”

Keira remained calm in her gaze.

But hearing this, both Lewis and Ellis couldn’t help clenching their fists.

Ellis looked at his own hand and took a sharp inhale. “Why am I getting itchy hands again?”

Poppy, frightened by the comment, stopped talking. Realizing her impending doom, she suddenly lost her fear!

Malice mustered her courage, and she continued raging at Keira.

“You little slut! When you were a child, you could only lick my feet! You’ll never compare to Isla! Do you remember when I made you drink Isla’s washing water? You sure fought back fiercely, but what was the use? I just pushed your head straight in… Ha!

“You little whore. You lived all these years outside without a penny of living expenses, so you must have slept with so many men for money, right? You’re nothing but a prostitute who has been used by thousands of people! Even if you marry into the Horton family, what of it? You won’t meet a good end!”

Lewis shouted, “Shut up!”

Poppy was taken aback but then stared at him determinedly.

This venomous woman seemed built with wickedness in her veins, for even now, she failed to recognize her own mistakes, merely feeling that fate was playing tricks on her!

She glared at Lewis. “What? Did I say something wrong? I am the mistress, but in my lifetime I’ve only been with Taylor! What about her mother? Maybe you still don’t know? Jodie South had an affair during her marriage! Keira isn’t Taylor’s daughter at all!!”

At this revelation, Keira stepped forward, grabbed her by the collar. “Don’t you dare insult Mrs. Olsen!”

“What if I insult her? She had the guts to do it, should no one speak of it? She looks all prim and proper, doesn’t she? But in reality, she’s just a bitch! She cheated in her marriage, and that’s how you were born!”

“Slap!”

Keira slapped Poppy hard, causing her cheek to swell up high, leaving her unable to speak again!

Holly then called the police over and took Poppy away into custody. With the combination of her charges, she could very likely be sentenced to death!

After Poppy was taken away, Holly finally took Keira’s trembling hand and comforted her. “It’s over now, she won’t be able to bother you anymore!”

Keira nodded.

As she turned to go back to Mrs. Olsen’s ward, it was then that Ellis stepped in front of her, his eyes shining as he asked, “Hey, did she say you aren’t Taylor’s daughter?”

If she wasn’t Taylor’s daughter, she must be Uncle Olsen’s!
