Chapter 213 Director Nora

Chapter 213 Director Nora

Keira suddenly turned her head, only to see a tall figure wrapped in the cold wind, entering the room.

….

The weather had turned cold, and the man was wearing a black woolen coat that made him appear tall and straight.

As he entered, his gaze quickly swept over everyone before landing on Keira. He approached her, his voice deep as he asked, “How is Mrs. Olsen?”

Lewis who had returned.

He had messaged Keira last night, informing her that although his grandmother hadn’t yet woken up, her life wasn’t in danger, which reassured Keira to remain with Mrs. Olsen.

Keira answered, “She’s been discharged from the hospital. Don’t worry.”

“Good.”

Only then did Lewis turn to look at Oliver and Nathan, his voice grave as he said, “I don’t need you to worry about my marriage. My wife is my responsibility! Even without a powerful maternal family to back her up, my support is more than enough!”

Nathan sneered. “Do you think I want to worry about you? Cold-hearted people like you marry undutiful wives! Your grandmother didn’t wake up last night, and we were all here on vigil, yet she was absent!”

Lewis explained, “Mrs. Olsen was also hospitalized. She was accompanying Mrs. Olsen at the hospital!”

Oliver immediately scoffed. “Having married into the Horton family, she’s now the Hortons’ daughter-in-law! She’s only just recognized her mom—does she fear that she won’t get an inheritance if her mother dies? How shortsighted! Can’t she distinguish between the weight of her mother and her great-grandmother?”

Keira clenched her fists tightly. Inheritance?

That was a curse and an insult to Mrs. Olsen!

Her eyes immediately turned icy, and Lewis’s gaze became sharp as he said, “Shut up!”

Nathan frowned. “Who are you telling to shut up? He’s your brother!”

With a steely look, Lewis retorted, “If I hear him insult Mrs. Olsen again, then you had better consider how his inheritance will be divided.”

His heedless demeanor caused Oliver to immediately shut his mouth.

He knew full well that his brother meant what he said!

Fuming, Nathan slapped the armrest of his chair, getting ready to speak when Fiona walked out beaming with joy. “Old Mrs. Horton is awake!”

At her word, Keira and Lewis immediately left the first branch of the family behind, heading toward Old Mrs. Horton’s bedroom.

There, they saw the little old lady looking radiant from her sleep, smilingly watching the doorway and saying to Lewis, “Brat, where did you go?”

Lewis immediately walked up to her. “I stepped out to take a phone call.”

“Oh, okay.”

Old Mrs. Horton then turned her gaze to Keira, immediately grabbing her hand. “You must be my daughter-in-law, Miss Davis, right? That brat doesn’t know how to cherish someone. If you feel wronged, remember to tell me, and I’ll definitely side with you! Don’t just walk away in a huff, alright?”

Keira was taken aback!

She subconsciously exchanged glances with Lewis, and then both of them simultaneously turned to look at old Mrs. Horton. “Grandma, who are we?”

“Ah! Brat, I’m your mother! Why are you calling me Grandma?”

Old Mrs. Horton smacked Lewis lightly.

Lewis was instantly stunned.

He stared blankly at old Mrs. Horton, then suddenly clenched his fist tight.

Old Mrs. Horton then held Keira’s hand again, “Miss Davis, don’t just stand there, sit down. You’re carrying a baby… It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. After you give birth, I promise to love them for a lifetime!”

Lewis’s eyes reddened slightly.

Even though Grandma no longer recognized him, she was still concerned about him.

Just as he was thinking about this, the members of the first branch of the family had already joined them, with Nathan saying, “Mother only remembers me…”

Oliver immediately added, “Of course. After all, Dad, you’re her only son! She may dote on Lewis, but it’s only because Lewis is your son…”

Nathan smiled upon hearing these words.

Over the years, old Mrs. Horton only had eyes for Lewis, her one grandchild, paying no heed to him or the first branch of the family. Unexpectedly, as her mind became muddled, she still harbored him in her thoughts.

Pushing Lewis aside, Nathan stepped up to old Mrs. Horton, “Mom, how are you feeling?”

Old Mrs. Horton immediately frowned. “Horton? Weren’t you dead? How come you are still alive? Did you rise from the grave?”

Nathan was dumbfounded.

He twitched the corners of his mouth. “Mom, I’m Nathan.”

“What kind of joke is this?!” old Mrs. Horton waved her hand dismissively, pointing at Lewis as she said. “My son is handsome and dashing. How could you be that old codger! Just by looking, one can tell you’re up to no good!”

Nathan was shocked.

Everyone in the room struggled to suppress their laughter, except for Keira, who frowned slightly.

The old lady’s dementia was getting worse, her memory regressing to when Nathan was young… It seemed that medication was a must now!

With that thought, she took out her phone and prepared to message the person in charge in Clance, when she received a WhatsApp message. “Director Nora, hello, we’re about to arrive at the Horton’s in Oceanion to deliver the medicine!”

Locals in called her Director Nora.

Keira breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the medicine would be delivered today.

Just as she had this thought, Selena said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Great-grandma is just ill…”

At that, Nathan frowned, followed by a sigh. “I don’t even know if she can remember me.”

Nathan also had feelings for old Mrs. Horton; after all, she was his own mother.

Moreover, with his father having passed away early, it was his mother who raised him single-handedly. The Horton Group initially started out with his mother’s hardware trading business, and later, when Nathan and his mother had differences in company management, she voluntarily stayed at home and stopped intervening in the company’s affairs.

Even so, several of the company’s veteran figures were once her subordinates.

It was because of this that old Mrs. Horton held thirty percent of the shares in the Horton Group, as well as people’s respect.

This was why Lewis was able to take control of the Horton Group immediately after returning to the country—it was supported by old Mrs. Horton!

07:27

Therefore, Nathan had a love-hate relationship with the old lady.

Nathan looked directly at Selena, “That medicine you spoke of, does it really work?”

Selena said, “Grandpa, up until now, Nora has created fifteen special-effect medicines, and the ones that have been launched have received great responses. This dementia drug was reportedly studied by her for a very long time…”

As she spoke, her phone pinged.

Selena glanced at it and immediately exclaimed with joy. “Grandpa, the laboratory staff from Clance are at the door. I’ll go welcome them in right away!”

After saying this, Selena left the room.

Watching her leave, Nathan glanced toward Lewis and Keira, unable to help himself from scoffing. “You two better treat Selena well in the future, especially you, Lewis. She has even managed to procure a hard-to-find medicine for your great-grandma. You owe her a favor!”

Keira scoffed. “That’s not quite right. Mrs. Horton isn’t just Lewis’s great-grandma. Isn’t she also Selena’s great-grandma?”

She truly found it amusing.

Nathan immediately glared at her. “Such disrespect! How dare you backtalk when your elders are speaking!”

Oliver immediately said, “Dad, don’t be angry. I think Lewis’s wife feels you’re biased toward Selena…”

“Keira, if you could be like Selena and find special medication for your grandma, I would be biased toward you as well,” Nathan scoffed. “But you, with neither connections nor family background, can you do that?”

Keira narrowed her eyes at this. “Who says I can’t?”

With that, Selena ushered in the researchers from the institute from the doorway.
