Chapter 204: Chapter 204
Uncle Olsen paused slightly upon hearing this.
However, he did not get excited, but instead fiercely took another drag of his cigarette, then squinted his eyes, “You’re saying, Taylor Olsen is not Miss South’s child’s father?”
“Right.”
Ellis Olsen nodded, “The mistress just said it herself, and from the looks of Kiera Olsen, she didn’t deny it…”
He curiously looked at Uncle Olsen, “Kiera Olsen couldn’t be your daughter, could she?”
Uncle Olsen threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped it out with his leather shoe, kicked it into the ashtray area next to the trash can, and then looked at him, “No.”
Ellis Olsen was startled, “Really? I thought she was…”
He didn’t finish his sentence when Uncle Olsen kicked out at him, “Don’t I know whether I have done such a thing or not?”
Ellis Olsen jumped up, dodging the kick, slightly disappointed, “Alright, I thought I could have a cousin~ You’ve really disappointed me.”
“Get out.”
“Sure thing~”
“Come back.”
Ellis Olsen floated back.
Uncle Olsen eyed him, “Miss South has raised that fake heiress, so she must have feelings for her too.”
Ellis Olsen was surprised, “So you want me to show mercy?”
Uncle Olsen glanced at him with a cold laugh, “So make your moves clean and decisive, don’t give her a chance to regret. She is someone who deeply values emotions, I want to avoid any more entanglements in the family later!”
Only then did Ellis Olsen smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve painstakingly picked a great place for Isla Olsen!”
Upstairs.
Kiera Olsen followed Taylor Olsen into the ward.
Taylor Olsen sat silently next to Mrs. Olsen’s hospital bed, holding her hand.

Kiera Olsen looked at him, “You heard everything that happened outside just now, didn’t you?”
Taylor Olsen nodded like a robot.
His reaction made Kiera Olsen unsure of how to start talking. She hesitated, then stated, “Poppy Hill has been arrested, Isla is in danger, do you want to go see her?”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Taylor Olsen suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with cold-blooded ruthlessness, “Since she’s not Shirley’s daughter, she’s nothing to me!”
That indifferent attitude was exactly how he used to treat Kiera Olsen.
Kiera Olsen staggered for a moment.
She then understood that Taylor Olsen’s kindness towards Isla really was only for Mrs. Olsen, irrelevant of whether she was his daughter or not.
She hesitated for a moment before asking, “I… you… we don’t seem to be father and daughter.”
Taylor Olsen looked down, tenderly gazing at Mrs. Olsen, “Since you’re Shirley’s daughter, of course, you’re not my daughter.”
Kiera Olsen immediately realized that her guess was probably correct.
She furrowed her brow and then heard Taylor Olsen say, “I’m actually very grateful to you. Shirley has always been out of my league, and it was only after you came along that Shirley was willing to marry me…”
He bowed his head, placing Mrs. Olsen’s hand against his cheek, “Being able to marry Shirley is the greatest happiness of my life. As for Poppy Hill, she was not an affair during my marriage but a debt from before Shirley and I were together. I was distraught over not obtaining Shirley and drank to drown my sorrows when she took advantage of me…”
He stopped there, closing his mouth, and once again earnestly looked at Jodie South, “Shirley, please wake up soon. Your favorite, Kiera, is your daughter. Don’t you want to acknowledge her?”
Kiera Olsen also looked at Mrs. Olsen Jodie South upon hearing this.
She still lay there, eyes closed, breathing steadily, her complexion flush as if asleep.
Kiera Olsen really wanted to wait until she woke up and ask who her real father was, and what secrets lay hidden in her past…
She walked to the other side of the hospital bed and took Mrs. Olsen’s hand.
She opened her mouth to call out “Mom,” but the words just wouldn’t come out.
Just then, the sound of an ambulance siren suddenly came from downstairs.
Keira Olsen didn’t pay it any mind.
After all, they were in a hospital, where it was normal for ambulances to bring people in.
The room fell into complete silence.
After a while, two doctors accompanied by a nurse came in to check the room.
They examined Mrs. Olsen’s condition and found everything to be normal.
As they were leaving, they chatted idly:
“Today has really been an eye-opener, driving an ambulance to our hospital to pick up someone! Hilarious, I heard that person had just come out of the operating room and got nabbed…”
“A mental case, I tell you, suffering from mania. They say the patient can become violent and could have injured someone, and not a word was said in advance. What would we do if they suddenly woke up and lashed out at us?”
Keira didn’t think much of it until she overheard a nurse gossiping:
“You all got it wrong, I have the latest scoop! That woman apparently escaped from a mental hospital, then somehow got pregnant. After a miscarriage that led to a crazy fit and severe bleeding, they had to remove her uterus to save her life! Though our hospital is a general one, such a patient definitely needs to be treated in a mental institution.”
“Wow, what a bombshell! A mental patient got pregnant? Whose child was it?”
“Who knows…”
They walked away, continuing their conversation.
Something felt off to Keira, and she immediately exchanged a glance with Lewis Horton, then both of them rushed to the window. Below, they saw an ambulance from a mental hospital parked outside.
At that moment, several medical staff were carrying a stretcher to the vehicle.
Even from three floors up, Keira could immediately tell that the person lying on the stretcher was Isla Olsen!
She was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively turned to Lewis, “Did you do this?”
Lewis Horton frowned and shook his head, “No.”
Keira hadn’t planned on dealing with Isla Olsen yet, considering she was raised by Mrs. Olsen from a young age and spoilt her whole life. She had intended to wait until Mrs. Olsen woke up to ask for her opinion on the matter.
But she hadn’t expected this turn of events!
Isla had always aspired to marry into wealth, and now reduced to this state, she would surely continue to entangle herself with the Olsen family.
Sending her to a mental institution indeed seemed like the best choice!
Once admitted, she would certainly never come out.
And if this wasn’t arranged by Lewis Horton, then it must be…
Keira instinctively glanced toward the parking lot and spotted a black, unassuming luxury car still parked there.
A tall and upright man was sitting inside the car, his features not discernible.
Ellis Olsen stood outside the car, waving at Keira and pointing at his cellphone.
Keira took out her own phone and saw a message from Ellis: “Are you satisfied with my arrangement for Isla?”
Keira glanced at Lewis.
She suddenly understood; if Lewis hadn’t been restraining Uncle Olsen, she might have been the one taken away in the ambulance…
As she pondered, her phone buzzed again. Ellis had sent another message: “Also, could you come down for a moment? Uncle has an apology he would like to offer you in person.”
Keira: “…”
