190 Guilty Conscience
Isla was stunned by the accusation. “What? How could you do that?!”
Keira sneered and looked at her. “What’s wrong? Feeling guilty?”
This remark made both Jake and Melissa turn their gaze towards Isla.
Isla immediately retorted, “Guilty about what? Jake is my only man. Could the child possibly belong to someone else? It’s just that I find you people to be so cruel. Not only have you harmed my child, but now you’re treating the dead baby like this…”
She clutched her stomach and cried. “My child, it’s all my fault for not protecting you. They’ve taken your life and now they’re subjecting you to such humiliation. I don’t know if you can feel the pain… It’s all because Mommy is useless…”
Jake’s eyes also reddened as he clenched his fists. tightly, resentfully glaring at Keira and Lewis.
Keira couldn’t help but draw her lips in a thin line. “An

embryo over a month old is just a cluster of cells, its pain receptors haven’t even developed yet. Isla, stop putting on an act here…”
Upon hearing this, Isla’s expression stiffened slightly, then she bit her lip and looked fiercely at Keira.
She was filled with hatred!
Indeed, she had chosen to terminate the pregnancy herself, just to prevent Jake from actually following through with the amniocentesis.
Moreover, with the support of the Clance Olsen family, it was clear they would take her side. Naturally, she should take this opportunity to firmly grasp Keira.
If she could oust Keira from the Horton family and even assist the first branch of the family in wresting control of the Horton Group from Lewis, it would be
great.
But she hadn’t anticipated that Lewis would go so far to protect that bitch!
In the hospital room, Lewis had already gained the upper hand, entirely in control of the situation.
Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from the

doorway. “Lewis, you can’t be too overbearing in your actions! You’ve taken control of Mrs. Olsen’s room, and now you want to control Isla’s room as well? Do you really take my Uncle Olsen for decoration?”
Ellis appeared at the doorway, followed by several bodyguards, ready to confront the bodyguards of Lewis.
Seeing him, Isla’s eyes lit up, and she immediately cried out, “Mr. Olsen, you’ve arrived just in time. You must stand up for me!”
After she spoke, she burst into tears again. “Keira, you’re simply too malicious. You’ve bedridden my mom and caused me such harm. You’re here for revenge, aren’t you? It’s all because my mom and I don’t have a strong backing, so you do whatever you please!”
She sobbed, looking very pitiable.
Ellis immediately ordered, “Bring Keira to me!”
Lewis stood in front of Keira, “I’d like to see who
dares!”
Ellis stared him down, “Uncle Olsen said, he’s decided to protect Mrs. Olsen’s daughter. Are you sure you

want to be his enemy?”
Lewis frowned upon hearing that.
He said coolly, “Tell your Uncle Olsen that I’m not interested in Isla. I am just stating the facts. The DNA test results will be out in three hours at the earliest. I also hope he won’t be here sheltering the instigator by
that time.”
With that statement, Lewis took Keira by the hand and strode out of the room.
Nathan tried to call him back. “You get back here!”
Regrettably, Lewis acted as if he hadn’t heard a word.
Nathan was livid. “Ungrateful creature! You’re far too arrogant!! We won’t tolerate this!”
Ellis blocked his path at the doorway. “Lewis, you can leave, but not her! This illegitimate daughter has bullied Isla, and today she must answer for it!”
With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards behind him moved forward to apprehend Keira but were stopped by Lewis’s bodyguards.
A standoff ensued between the two sides.

Ellis looked on coldly. “Lewis, are you sure you want to have a fight here?”
This was a Horton family hospital, and Mrs. Olsen’s ward wasn’t far away.
These bodyguards were all veterans. If a fight broke out, it would be destructive and could affect Mrs.
Olsen…
Keira stepped forward, about to say something when Lewis’s gaze darkened. “I said, the truth will come out in three hours. Ellis, can’t you even wait that long?”
Ellis glanced into the room and spoke slowly, “Lewis, I think you’re mistaken about something. The results in three hours don’t matter to us. We have always been protecting Mrs. Olsen’s biological daughter! Not the Horton family’s grandson!”
The implication was clear.
No matter whose child was in Isla’s womb, Uncle Olsen
didn’t care.
His concern was that Keira had harmed the child in
Isla’s womb.
Lewis frowned slightly.

This was getting troublesome…
Uncle Olsen was ruthless and often unreasonable. If he said he would protect Mrs. Olsen, then he would surely protect only Isla. Even if it turned out Isla’s child wasn’t from the Horton family, he probably wouldn’t let Keira off easily.
Lewis’s gaze darkened. “What does Uncle Olsen want?”
Ellis then looked at Keira. “Miss Olsen lost her child, so Keira must do something to atone… Keira, my uncle is just downstairs. Do you dare to come with me to meet
him?”
“Impossible.”
Lewis looked at him. “Isla’s child has nothing to do with Keira, and I won’t let you take her away!”
Ellis scoffed. “Lewis, that’s not up to you.”
The atmosphere at the scene was tense, and it seemed as though a fierce battle could erupt at any moment.
At this critical juncture, Keira suddenly stepped forward. She looked at Lewis. “I’ll go with him.”
