The air was thick with tension, and time seemed to move in slow motion as Old Mrs. Horton stood there, her frail body trembling yet her spirit unbroken. She paused, turning her head ever so slightly, scanning the chaos unfolding around her. And then, in that moment, she saw him — Lewis, her beloved grandson, rushing toward Oliver with a fury that could only be born of love and desperation. With a single, powerful blow, Lewis sent Oliver flying, kicking him away with a force that shook the very air.
Old Mrs. Horton finally felt a wave of relief wash over her. She could breathe again, knowing that Lewis was safe, that the snakes had been driven back — but deep in her heart, she understood the bitter truth. It was too late. Her body had reached its limits. Just moments ago, she had sensed her time on this earth was drawing to a close, and that was why she had urgently dragged Oliver upstairs. She knew what had to be done, and she was determined to see it through.
Now, with Lewis supporting her, Old Mrs. Horton managed a faint, knowing smile. She lifted a trembling hand and pointed to a nearby spot. "There's a camera over there, Lewis," she whispered, her voice fragile but resolute. "It's clear that Oliver tried to strangle me. You need to avenge me!" Her words hung in the air like a final command, a gift wrapped in sacrifice.
Lewis's eyes turned red, tears threatening to spill as he stared down at his grandmother. In that heart-wrenching moment, the weight of his own misunderstanding crashed down upon him. He had been so wrong! He had believed his grandmother was being kind to the first branch out of some sense of obligation, that perhaps she favored them somehow. But he never imagined — never even dared to think — that even in her final moments, Grandma's only concern was still helping him. If she had passed away quietly, he would have been branded as heartless, condemned by the world for being the cruel grandson who let his grandmother die. But now, with Oliver's reckless and violent actions caught on camera, Lewis had every justification to move against the first branch. She had protected him from the grave, handed him a weapon in her last breath.
Tears streamed down Lewis's face, unstoppable, raw, and unashamed. But then, an aged, wrinkled hand reached up and gently wiped them away. Old Mrs. Horton looked at him with all the tenderness in the world and said, "Lewis, a man shouldn't cry."
Lewis nodded through his tears, choking on his emotions. "Okay. I won't cry." He tried his hardest to hold back the flood, but his heart was breaking into a thousand pieces.
Old Mrs. Horton gently touched his face, her fingers tracing the contours of her dear grandson's cheek. "My dear grandson," she murmured softly, "you haven't been upset with me for saying I didn't know you, have you?" Her voice was laced with a lifetime of care, a final reassurance.
Lewis shook his head desperately, his voice cracking. "No, Grandma. How could I ever be upset with you..."
"That's good." A serene smile spread across Old Mrs. Horton's lips. And then, she turned her gaze to Keira, extending her trembling hand. Keira, without hesitation, rushed forward, crouching beside her and gently holding that fragile hand in her own. "Grandma," she whispered, her eyes already glistening.
Old Mrs. Horton smiled, a warm and peaceful expression that seemed to light up her weary face. She took Keira's hand and slowly, deliberately, joined it together with Lewis's. The gesture spoke volumes — a sacred union, a final blessing. She spoke softly, her voice a feather on the wind: "Granddaughter-in-law, I don't know what you're doing, but no matter what, promise me one thing."
Keira replied immediately, without a moment's pause. "Of course. Anything."
Old Mrs. Horton let out a soft, relieved sigh. "No matter what happens from now on, never let go of this brat's hand, okay?"
Keira's eyes filled with tears instantly, spilling over before she could stop them. She choked up, her voice trembling yet firm as she replied, "Okay. I promise!"
Old Mrs. Horton smiled one final time, her eyes twinkling with peace. "You promised me, so make sure you keep your word... I'm leaving this rascal to you..."
And just like that, as the last syllable left her lips, Old Mrs. Horton closed her eyes. The hand that had been gently connecting Keira and Lewis went limp, falling lifelessly to her side. The world seemed to stop.
"Grandma!!" Lewis cried out, his voice shattered with anguish.
"Grandma!" Keira screamed, her heart wrenched from her chest.
Both of them embraced Old Mrs. Horton, sobbing uncontrollably, their grief pouring out in torrents of tears. Neither Lewis nor Keira mentioned attempting resuscitation — neither one even suggested it. They both understood. Given Grandma's age and fragile condition, resuscitation would be pointless. Even if they managed to bring her back, it would only grant her a few more days of suffering, only to have her endure the painful, grueling process of CPR. They knew — they both knew — that Old Mrs. Horton was ready to leave. She had prepared herself, and so, with heavy hearts and tear-stained faces, they let her go with dignity.
Dignity... The word echoed in Keira's mind as she looked down at the old lady's peaceful face. And then, a small, heartbreaking realization struck her. Old Mrs. Horton had been wearing a brand new outfit today. She had always preferred dark blue clothing, and now, as the reality sank in, it looked like a mourning dress. Neither of them had noticed anything unusual before, but now the meaning was unmistakable. She knew. She knew all along.
Keira's eyes were red, tears streaming endlessly down her face. "Grandma..." she whispered, her heart heavy with sorrow. She wished with all her being that the elderly lady could live forever, could stay with them and watch them grow, but they all knew that would never be possible. Some goodbyes are inevitable, no matter how much we beg fate to intervene.

Old Mrs. Horton's funeral was conducted with great dignity — because she had come with dignity, and she left with dignity. Nearly every notable figure from the five major families in Clance attended, filling the hall with a somber and respectful atmosphere.
The Davis family sent Wayne, who expressed his deep sorrow before quietly departing, saying little but conveying much. Lewis's mother, however, did not appear. Some weights are too heavy for even a mother to bear — or perhaps, some choices are too painful to face.
The heads of the other major families came as well, each one understanding Old Mrs. Horton's profound significance to Lewis. Their presence was a silent show of support, a testament to the old lady's influence and the respect she had earned throughout her life.
The Olsen family had the largest presence. Uncle Olsen and Keira's brothers all stood tall in immaculate black suits, white corsages pinned to their chests. After paying their respects, Uncle Olsen approached Lewis. He paused, as if searching for the right words to offer comfort, but ultimately found that no words could suffice in such a moment. So he simply patted Lewis's shoulder — a gesture that spoke of strength, solidarity, and unspoken understanding — and then walked away.
Among those in attendance were Ellis with Mary, who was visibly five months pregnant. Mary had tried to hide her growing bump beneath loose clothing, but despite her efforts, it was still noticeable. Anyone with eyes and a little insight could probably guess what was happening, and the secret was becoming increasingly fragile.
Keira quickly approached them, concern etched on her face. "Why are you here? You shouldn't have come," she said, her voice laced with worry.
Mary grasped her hand warmly, her gaze gentle and resolute. "This is a significant event for your fiancé. How could I not come?" She leaned in and whispered, "Your fiancé's devotion to Old Mrs. Horton shows his good character. He's a reliable person."
The word "reliable" struck Keira like a knife to the chest. Her heart ached, a bittersweet pang that traveled deep into her bones. She had lived by her sister's standards in Clance, trying to be a good person, trying to live a life that would make everyone proud. She hadn't wronged anyone intentionally, but she felt — oh, how she felt — that she owed Mary everything.
Mary's kindness had always been directed at Keera, not at Keira. The real Keira had not earned that kindness. Mary had sacrificed her own comfort, her own safety, all while carrying a dearly guarded secret, just to be here for a friend who wasn't even the person she believed her to be.
The truth of Mary's pregnancy had not been publicly revealed by the Olsen family. Rumors had circulated — vicious, audacious whispers that called Ellis infertile and cast doubt on his ability to carry on a family lineage. And while Keira had discovered that Erin was Fox, the identity of Lion still remained as elusive and dangerous as a shadow in the night. So the Olsen family remained cautious, keeping the pregnancy under wraps for the safety of both mother and child.
But Mary came anyway. She risked exposure, risked everything, just to stand beside Keira during this moment of grief. That sacrifice, that unconditional love, made Keira's heart feel heavy with a guilt that was almost unbearable. Old Mrs. Horton's passing had already stirred up a storm of conflicting emotions within her, and now, looking at Mary's trusting, compassionate face, something inside Keira cracked.
Perhaps it was time. Perhaps the truth could no longer stay buried.
At that moment, Keira held Mary's hand tighter and said, "Mary, there's something I want to tell you."
Mary looked at her with curious eyes, trusting and innocent, and allowed Keira to lead her to a secluded spot where no onlooker could overhear them. Ellis watched from a distance, concern flickering in his eyes, but Mary offered him a reassuring look that said, *I'm fine, trust us.*
Once they were alone, Mary asked softly, "Keera, what is it? Is there something important you need to tell me?"
Keira looked at her — really looked at her. She saw all the love, all the kindness, all the sacrifices Mary had made out of loyalty and devotion. And then, suddenly, she smiled. A strange, complicated smile that held both pain and relief, both sorrow and hope. She began to speak, the words trembling on her lips:
"Mary, actually..."

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Well, my heart is absolutely shattered after reading this chapter. Old Mrs. Horton's death was so beautifully, painfully written — a farewell scene that felt both inevitable and devastating. Her cleverness to the very end, turning her own death into a weapon to protect Lewis and give him justice, showcases the depth of her love. And watching Lewis break down, realizing how wrong he had been about his grandmother's motives... it's a punch to the gut. Then Keira's overwhelming guilt, the weight of her deception bearing down on her as she looks at Mary — you can practically feel the desperation building inside her. The stage is set for a massive revelation, and the tension is unbearable in the best way.
The funeral scenes added an elegant dignity to the chapter, and every interaction, from Uncle Olsen's wordless solidarity to Mary's reckless loyalty, was written with heart-wrenching sincerity. This chapter masterfully balances grief, guilt, sacrifice, and the promise of a reckoning. I am utterly captivated, utterly heartbroken, and utterly desperate for more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Hold onto your seats, everyone! The cliffhanger is absolutely explosive. Keira is on the verge of revealing the truth to Mary — but will she actually confess that she is not the real Keera? What will Mary's reaction be when the foundations of her friendship are shattered? And with Lion still lurking in the shadows, the timing couldn't be more dangerous. This confession could change everything — not just for Keira, but for the entire Olsen family. Will it bring them closer together, or will it ignite a fire that consumes everything in its path? One thing is certain: the secrets are about to come tumbling out, and the aftermath will be nothing short of epic!
