This chapter is absolutely packed with emotional confrontations, shocking revelations, and heartwarming moments that will leave you breathless. Let's dive right in!
---
The atmosphere outside the operating room was thick with tension as everyone held their breath, waiting for news about Nara's condition. When the hospital director finally emerged, his pale, sweat-covered face sent chills down everyone's spine. Austin rushed forward like a man possessed, demanding answers about his sister.
But the director's stammered words about being unable to stop the bleeding shattered Austin completely. Lady Gill staggered backward, using the wall to keep herself upright. Even Matias sank into despair, his face drained of all hope. In that devastating moment, Keira stepped out of the operating room, removing her cap and mask, only to be immediately confronted by Austin's accusations.
"You killed my sister!" he screamed, his eyes wild with grief and rage.
Before Keira could defend herself, the director hastily intervened, finally revealing the full truth. "Miss Gill's life is no longer in danger!" he exclaimed. It turned out that when the other doctors couldn't find the bleeding point, Keira had taken over and successfully located and stitched it up. The director's face flushed with embarrassment as he admitted that while they had the theoretical knowledge, none of them had steady enough hands for such a complicated surgery.
Keira brushed off the praise modestly, saying it was nothing and that she didn't understand much about medicine. But everyone present knew the truth – this young woman had just performed a miracle.
When Nara was wheeled out on the operating table, her body broken from the four-story fall – fractured tibia, radius, and ribs – Lady Gill and Austin could barely contain their anguish. The director explained that while the internal bleeding had stopped and there was no brain hemorrhage, Nara would need time in the ICU. Her recovery was uncertain; she was exhausted and weak, and no one knew when she would wake up.
As they watched Nara through the ICU window, her limbs suspended in the air to prevent movement, Austin broke down completely. He slapped himself repeatedly, each blow a punishment for his past cruelty. "It's all my fault! I'm such a bastard!" he cried, his voice cracking with genuine remorse.
Lady Gill stood beside him, tears streaming down her face. "It's my fault too. I indulged you too much, letting you hurt your sister."
Austin's confession poured out like a flood. He finally understood what he had done – how he had treated innocent girls without considering how he would feel if someone did the same to his sister. "If I had ever thought about how I would feel if my sister encountered someone like me, I would never have treated a girl like that!" he sobbed, slapping himself again until his cheeks were swollen and bruised.
But Keira reminded them that self-blame wasn't productive. She directed their anger toward the real culprit – Jackson, who had deceived them all. "Instead of blaming yourselves here, you might want to think about how to punish Jackson instead," she said sharply.
Lady Gill and Austin's eyes grew fierce with determination. Austin immediately stormed off to confront his cousin, leaving Lady Gill to face Keira alone.
"Thank you," Lady Gill whispered, her voice trembling.
But Keira wasn't one for empty gratitude. "You're welcome," she replied coolly. "I was only trying to save my friend's sister, but the Gill family owes me a favor. How do you plan to repay it?"
Lady Gill understood immediately. "Just name it. As long as your demand is not excessive, the Gill family will agree to it!"
Keira's request surprised her – she wanted a collaboration, not a handout. "I have a medical research institute. Let's sign a ten-year supply contract, with your hospitals distributing the medicine produced by my institute."
Lady Gill nodded, agreeing to purchase all the medicines Keira's institute produced, regardless of their effectiveness. She even asked about the institute's name, but Keira seemed to hesitate. The truth was, Keira managed so many companies – delivery services, restaurants, horse tracks – that she couldn't even remember the full name of her own research institute! She promised to send the contract when it was ready.
Then Keira brought up another matter – the mysterious diagnosis of Ellis's azoospermia. Lady Gill revealed that the doctor who performed the examination had gone abroad for a seminar and never returned, only sending a resignation email. Three doctors had done the same thing, all certified by foreign medical institutions. Someone was clearly targeting Ellis.
Meanwhile, in Jackson's hospital room, Austin's vengeance was brutal and thorough. He stormed in, kicking the door open, and immediately punched Jackson in the face, sending him flying across the room. "My sister broke three ribs, and I'll break three of yours!" he roared.
Jackson screamed for mercy, but Austin had no intention of showing any. "Haven't I always treated you well? Why did you deceive us? Do you know how many years I've been looking for my sister?!" he demanded, his voice raw with pain.
But Jackson, bleeding and broken, finally revealed his twisted motives. "You either beat me or scold me. I'm your cousin, yet you treat me like a lackey! When have you ever treated me like an equal?! I want to see you lose everything! I want to see you go around in circles because of me, to see you fly into a rage but have no solution!"
Jackson's confession was venomous. He revealed that he had been jealous of the first branch's superiority, and Azure herself had already chosen Austin's side. Jackson knew he would never be important in the family's eyes. Austin, furious beyond reason, broke Jackson's arms and legs, leaving him a bloody mess on the hospital bed.
But even after venting his anger, Austin knew the truth – he was more to blame than anyone. He knelt before the ICU ward, finally understanding the meaning of "karma goes full circle." All those years of bullying others, of treating girls like toys, of living a meaningless, privileged life – it had all come back to haunt him through his sister's suffering.
Matias struck Austin with his stick, yelling at him to leave. "Nara refuses to wake up because she doesn't want to see you! Both of you, get out!" Austin didn't fight back. He simply knelt, accepting the blows as punishment.
Lady Gill and Austin retreated to a bench around the corner, unwilling to leave completely but respecting Nara's need for distance. Austin broke down crying, wondering if his sister would ever acknowledge them again. Lady Gill had no answer.
But their moment of grief was interrupted by the butler, who rushed in with alarming news. "A force overseas has issued a ban against us and is planning to acquire us at a very price!" he gasped.
Lady Gill and Austin exchanged horrified glances. Who had they offended?
---
Meanwhile, in the Horton residence, Tom was pleading with Lewis. "Boss, forcing them to cooperate with Miss Olsen is really simple. There's no need to go down the acquisition route..."
But Lewis was firm. "The Horton Group has come to Clance, and the balance of power contested by the five great families has been broken. Destroying the Gill family would smooth the way for the Horton family to become one of the five major families."
Tom wasn't fooled. "Stop making excuses! What's wrong with having six major families?"
Lewis simply replied, "I think five sounds better than six."
The truth was clear – Lewis was doing all this for Keira. When Helen had taken Keira away to apologize to Lady Gill, Lewis had grown impatient and decided to take action.
But just as preparations were underway, Keira returned home, surprising Lewis. She told him everything about her day – discovering Nara's jade pendant, finding her on the rooftop, and proving her identity. "I saw that both Lady Gill and Austin had unsightly expressions on their faces," she remarked. "After all, the daughter and sister they've cherished from childhood has now been humiliated by them. They must be filled with regret."
Then Keira received a call from the Nora Research Institute. "Director Nora, the Gill Group has suddenly deposited six billion in advance to our company."
Keira was perplexed. "Well, just keep it then. They'll have to give it to us sooner or later."
After she hung up and went to shower, Tom asked Lewis, "Boss, do you still think that six sounds better than five?"
Lewis replied flatly, "Get lost."
"Got it, I'll inform them now to cancel the sanctions against the Gill Group," Tom said, shutting off the laptop.
At the Gill residence, the family was in chaos. The eldest and second sons had rushed back from out of town, panicking about the sanctions and the overseas acquisition attempt. Just as they were in the middle of heated discussion, a business partner called to say it was all a misunderstanding – the sanctions had been cancelled.
The Gill family was left speechless. What the hell was going on? Was someone making fun of them?
---
Later that evening, Keira and Lewis lay in bed, discussing Ellis's case. Keira explained her theory about the three doctors who had given the same false diagnosis without any contact with each other. "Why would people in the medical industry all tell the same lie?" she asked.
Lewis's eyes grew dark. "Did you know that in this world, there's actually technology monopolies? There are many unknown organizations and clubs whose purpose is to monopolize the technology of the entire planet. As long as they have the highest level of technology in a particular industry under their control, they are like the king of that industry!"
Keira's eyes widened. "You mean to say that there's such an organization in the medical industry, and their 'king' has ordered that Ellis must be diagnosed with azoospermia?"
Lewis nodded. "That's a possibility."
Keira agreed, thinking about the mysterious South family and how she and Uncle Olsen had searched the entire planet without finding any clues. There were truly many capable people hidden in the shadows, controlling the world's economic development and technological progress.
Their thoughts were interrupted by Lewis's phone. It was Old Mrs. Horton. "Brat, I'm already in Clance. When are you coming to see me?"
Lewis smiled tenderly, his eyes fixed on Keira. "Grandma, I'll be there."
But Old Mrs. Horton had heard about his engagement to the legitimate daughter of the Olsen family. "How can you do this? It's been less than half a year since your wife passed away, and you're getting engaged to someone else. Aren't you afraid of hurting her?"
Lewis let out a wry laugh. "Grandma, she won't be sad because she would want me to get engaged to Miss Olsen more than anyone else." He leaned close to Keira's ear as he said this, earning him a fierce glare.
Old Mrs. Horton sighed. "Brat, I won't acknowledge your engagement to that woman! In my eyes, I only have one grand-daughter-in-law!"
Lewis suggested letting Keira talk to her, but Old Mrs. Horton hung up immediately. "Grandma only acknowledges one grand-daughter-in-law, and there's nothing we can do about it," Lewis said ruefully.
Keira shook her head. They couldn't expose her identity yet; she still needed to maintain her sister's identity to try and save her mother.
Lewis mentioned a banquet at the Horton residence in a few days – their first public appearance in Clance. "You, as my fiancée, have to attend as well," he said.
Keira asked what pretext the banquet was being held under, but Lewis's expression stiffened. He coughed and turned away, saying it was just a casual event. But the truth was, it was his birthday party, and Keira hadn't shown any sign of remembering.
That night, Lewis tossed and turned, frustrated that Keira seemed to have forgotten his birthday. He dreamed she dragged him shopping for clothes, then suddenly handed him a birthday gift. But when morning came, the dream faded, and reality hit hard.
---
After breakfast, Keira suddenly suggested going shopping. Lewis's eyes lit up – did she remember? But he couldn't read any expression on her calm face. "What are we shopping for?" he asked cautiously.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be for anything specific. We'll just look around," she replied.
So they went to the largest luxury mall in Clance, wandering through various stores. Keira bought two hair clips for Amy but showed no interest in buying anything for Lewis. When they entered a Cartier boutique, Lewis thought, "There should be something here that would make a good gift for me, like cufflinks..." But Keira casually browsed and walked out without buying anything.
Levis was crushed. Did she really not remember?
Just then, Austin appeared, shopping for his sister. He was buying all the jewelry suitable for young women, one of each, and having it sent to his house. When he saw Keira and Lewis, he sneered. "Miss Olsen, are you shopping with a gigolo?"
Keira raised an eyebrow. Lewis didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
Austin, remembering the man's brutality, stepped forward earnestly. "Miss Olsen, look, I'm reminding you out of gratitude for saving my sister. You should end it with this gigolo already! Aren't you engaged to the Horton family? This gigolo might be ruthless, but how could he be a match for Lewis Horton?"
Keira chuckled. "And do you know what his name is?"
Austin paused. "What's his name? He can't be Lewis Horton, can he?"
Keira was about to nod when Austin curled his lips and continued his lecturing. "Miss Olsen, to be honest, I don't care what his name is. I'm just kindly advising you. It's up to you whether you listen or not. However, I've always looked down upon arranged marriages. Since both parties have agreed, you'd better show Lewis some respect and not show off your boyfriend too ostentatiously!"
Keira didn't know what to say, her mouth twitching.
Austin was about to leave when Keira asked about the contract. "Have you stamped our contract? My people should have gone to your office."
Austin waved dismissively. "The money has been transferred to you, so what are you rushing the contract for? Our company's legal department is reviewing it."
Keira pressed him. "The contract is urgent. How long will their review take?"
Austin looked at her strangely. "Are you so afraid this contract will fall through? The money is transferred, but that's not enough. Is your company a new enterprise eager to use the Gill family's medical resources to make a name and seize market share?"
Before Keira could speak, Lewis interjected mildly. "Do you know the name of her company? Why must she use your family's medical resources to gain popularity?"
Austin scoffed. "How would I know? I've never even heard of her company's name! Besides, if her pharmaceutical company had any reputation, they wouldn't be so eager to cooperate with us, right? The big pharmaceutical enterprises are all on an equal footing with us. The only enterprise in Crera we would actively seek to cooperate with is the Nora Research Institute!"
Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance and both burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? It looks so strange..." Austin muttered, but he called his legal department anyway.
When the legal director answered, he was busy with the Nora Research Institute contract. But when he opened Austin's contract and saw the Party A – Watson Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. – he froze. That was the full name of the Nora Research Institute!
"Mr. Gill, this contract, this Party A..." the director stammered, so excited he couldn't finish his sentence.
Austin was confused. "What? Any problem with Party A?" He looked at Keira suspiciously. "Your company is legitimate, right? You do have a business license, don't you?"
Keira smiled wryly. "Of course, it's reliable. Our company has been established for three years!"
Austin laughed. "You were established at the same time as the Nora Research Institute? Well, you'll have to work hard. Look at how powerful the Nora Research Institute is now. But there's nothing you can do. The Nora Research Institute is powerful because Nora is there with all her patents. I heard the Nora Research Institute just successfully developed a breakthrough drug for Alzheimer's disease! Impressive, right?"
Keira remained silent, crossing her arms and watching Austin with a knowing smile.
Then the director's voice came through the phone. "No, no, Mr. Gill, the Party A company on this contract is the full name of the Nora Research Institute!!"
Austin's smile froze on his face. "What did you say?"
"Mr. Gill, we've been working to the bone just to collaborate with the Nora Research Institute, and since you've already partnered with them, why didn't you say something earlier? The amount on the contract is only a fifty million quota per month. Could you possibly ask the client if we could have more each month?"
Austin stared blankly at Keira. "Can we increase the quota?"
Keira stroked her chin. "You should discuss that with my management team. They should already be in contact with you. However, I have one condition: we must sign the contract today."
Austin dumbly passed the message to the director, then hung up and stared at Keira in shock. "Why do you say the Nora Research Institute is your company? Are you..." He suddenly remembered the critical moment in his sister's surgery when Keira had entered the operating room. The hospital director had said only Nora could save his sister.
Keira was Nora!
Austin felt like he was dreaming. He quickly called Lady Gill. "Mom, do you know? Keera is Nora!"
"What?!" Lady Gill exclaimed in surprise.
---
Keira and Lewis left Cartier and went upstairs, planning to buy clothes for Amy. Keira bought several children's garments and then pointed to the men's section. "That suit over there looks pretty good on you."
Lewis grew excited. Maybe Keira was thinking of buying him clothes and then saying "Happy Birthday" when they paid. But Keira shook her head. "No, that tie is too pretentious for someone of your cool demeanor. Let's go somewhere else."
Lewis insisted, "I think it's quite suitable."
But Keira dismissed him. "Don't force yourself into buying something you don't like. We're just window-shopping without a particular goal."
Lewis was crushed. She had forgotten his birthday! He was mad!
They continued through the mall, and when they reached the sixth floor, Lewis tried again. "I seem to be running out of clothes to wear. Maybe you can help me pick a few later?"
But Keira replied, "You already stocked my house with seven or eight of the same tracksuits. How can you have nothing to wear?"
Lewis was speechless.
After dinner, Austin appeared again, having been stealthily following them. He reminded Keira about the Horton family's banquet and the rumors circulating about her. "Your reputation within the circle has changed. It's said that your private life is in disarray because you do not show respect to the Horton family and keep a gigolo around."
Keira asked who started the rumors, but Lady Gill had called to warn her about something else – a mole within the Olsen family. Someone had anonymously sent Austin the results of Ellis's infertility test. The information could only come from someone inside the Olsen family!
Keira frowned, realizing that any of the six other brothers could be fighting for the inheritance. She ruled out the youngest and James, leaving four possible suspects.
Lady Gill hung up, and Keira turned to Austin, who was still eyeing Lewis suspiciously. "Keira, this man of yours looks quite menacing. What's his name?"
Keira raised an eyebrow and turned to Austin. "Lewis Horton."
Austin was taken aback. "As in the Horton Group's Lewis Horton?"
Keira nodded.
Austin smiled in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? Do you honestly think Lewis has nothing better to do than to drive you around?"
Keira didn't know what to say. Lewis, who apparently had nothing better to do, didn't know what to say either.
Austin stood up, shaking his head. "Alright, you don't have to tease me anymore. Don't ignore the warning my mom just gave you. There's a mole in the Olsen family, so be careful! And as for the Horton family's banquet, take it seriously and remember to bring a gift."
He left, leaving Lewis speechless. "Can't you, like, clarify things before you go? What gift?!"
Keira shook her head and smiled.
After they finished eating, Keira seemed bored and wanted to go home. Lewis tried to suggest buying a gift for the banquet, but Keira waved it off. "That won't be necessary. The Olsen family will prepare it for me."
Lewis felt like getting a birthday gift was turning out to be really hard!
As they walked to the underground parking lot, they saw a couple embracing and kissing passionately. Keira craned her neck to look, but Lewis covered her eyes. "That's not appropriate," he chuckled softly.
Keira rolled her eyes. "Is it spring already? These two are getting frisky in a public place..."
They overheard the couple's conversation – the woman was buying the man expensive gifts, using her boyfriend's money. Keira criticized the woman's behavior, but Lewis smiled knowingly. He knew Keira was anxious because she had completed the cooperation with the Gill family and was waiting for the South family's next instructions.
As Keira was about to speak again, Lewis suddenly moved closer to her. "Honey, can you use your fiancé's money to buy me a gift?" he asked, his handsome face close to hers.
Keira's heart fluttered. "Honey, can you buy me a gift?" he repeated seductively. "After all, soon it will be my birth..."
But before he could finish, Keira pushed him away, her face flushed. "Just drive!"
Lewis started the car with great force. He was destined to miss out on birthday presents this year!
They returned to the South residence, and Keira shared her purchases with everyone – Amy's clothes and toys, maternity clothes for Mary, radiation protection suits. Everyone received gifts except the birthday boy himself.
Lewis went upstairs, feeling gloomy and dejected. The entire Horton Group and his international powers felt the brunt of his anger that afternoon. "If you can't even handle this small matter, what's the use of keeping you? You must work overtime tonight and give me an answer!"
Tom messaged him, asking if he was in a bad mood. "You've been speaking in rhetorical questions all day, taking it out on people."
Lewis sent a question mark.
Tom advised, "If you're in a bad mood, it's one thing to vent at us, but don't take it out on Miss Olsen. She's already under enough pressure."
Lewis paused and then gradually calmed down. Tom was right. He took a deep breath and went to shower.
After a dull dinner, Keira pulled Mary aside for a private conversation. Lewis felt like an adopted husband! He went upstairs in low spirits and lay in the empty bedroom, staring at the ceiling.
He had almost fallen asleep when the bedroom door finally opened, and Keira slipped in. Lewis rolled over, still slightly frustrated.
Then he heard a sneaky sound behind him, followed by Keira's voice. "Are you asleep?"
Lewis didn't answer, indicating he was very angry.
Keira asked again, but Lewis still didn't reply. He decided he wouldn't pay attention to Keira today! After all, in two minutes, it would be tomorrow.
While he was thinking about this, the sound behind him stopped. Lewis was perplexed. Couldn't she try harder?
Suddenly, a faint exclamation came from behind. "Ouch!"
Lewis immediately sat upright and turned to look! At that moment, he was completely frozen in place.
Behind him stood Keira, wearing a soft nightgown, with a small birthday cake in her hands and a smiling face. The moment he turned his head, it was midnight, and a new day began.
"Lewis, happy birthday," she said, her smile sweet and sincere.
Lewis stared at her in surprise. "You know?"
"Of course," Keira said, slowly approaching with the cake. "I have a very good memory. When we registered our marriage, I memorized your birthday."
Lewis was astonished. "Then today..." He suddenly realized something. "You did it on purpose?"
Holding back her laughter, Keira placed the cake on the coffee table and took out a small box from her pocket. "This is for you."
Lewis hesitated, then slowly opened the box. Inside was a handmade mechanical watch from a well-known but niche brand. He loved it at first glance.
"You like it, don't you?" Keira asked.
When he nodded, she laughed. "I knew you would like it."
Lewis immediately wore the watch on his wrist. Then he suddenly looked at her. "However, there's another gift that I like even more."
"Which is?"
Keira was engulfed in his embrace and tumbled into his arms. "You," he whispered in her ear.
Keira was surprised. She tried to push him away but couldn't. "When did you buy it?" he asked.
"Today. Why else would I take you shopping? It was so boring," Keira replied. She had her eye on the watch for a while and had called the store to reserve it. She slipped it into her shopping bag while his back was turned.
"Have you been teasing me all day?" Lewis asked.
"Yes, seeing you wanting a gift but acting proud was so fun!" Keira laughed, thinking about how she had intentionally distracted him every time he tried to bring up his birthday.
"Is teasing me that amusing to you?" Lewis asked, his voice growing darker.
"The main point is that giving you a gift directly wouldn't have been as exciting. Isn't the contrast before and after more enjoyable for you?"
"Hmm, it is enjoyable." Lewis leaned down, burying his face in her neck, his voice muffled. "This is the happiest birthday I've ever had."
But then he added, "However, I could be even happier. Keira, could you fulfill a small wish for me?"
"What?"
"My wish is..."
The next moment, affectionate sounds came from the room.
The next morning, as soon as Keira woke up and felt the lingering soreness on her body, she thought, "I'll never dare to mess with this dog of a man again!"
Lewis was refreshed and invigorated, like he had been injected with some magic potion. Keira supported her waist as she got out of bed and asked about the banquet tonight.
Lewis glanced at her. "Mhm, I can't delay it any longer." The Horton family had been in Clance for three months, and his delayed appearance as the head of the family was causing speculation among the branches. If he didn't show up soon, people might think he had been ousted!
Keira nodded. "Okay! I'm going back to the Olsen family later and will go to the gala with them in the evening. What about you?"
"I'll take you to the Olsen family."
After breakfast, Lewis dropped Keira off at the Olsen family. As she got out of the car, she waved cheekily at him, making his eyes darken once again. She smiled and stepped into the Olsen family's living room.
Inside, all seven Olsen brothers had gathered. Ellis's fever had subsided, but he was still weak and sat quietly in a corner, lost in his own world. The other six brothers were whispering among themselves, worried about the rumors circulating about Keira and her "gigolo."
James burst out, "If Keera doesn't like Lewis, then let's make it clear with him this evening and call off the marriage!"
The youngest brother, Charles, quietly suggested, "We could wait and see... What if tonight, our cousin hits it off with Lewis?"
As they discussed, Keira slowly walked in. James coughed. "Keera, where's your gigolo?"
"Well, he went to get prepared."
"Prepare for what?"
"The banquet tonight."
"What?!" James was stunned. "He's going too?"
Wasn't this a bit too disrespectful to the Horton family?!
