Chapter 237
Keira hadn’t known the value of the jade ring before.
Fearing that Poppy might throw it away or sell it after discovering it, she had always hidden it secretly.
It was only when she took it out this time that she realized the jade ring, which had comforted her as a
child, seemed to be of considerable value.
Keira, after all, had little contact with such items, so
she didn’t know their value very well and wanted Lewis
to have a look for her.
But just as she lifted the jade ring, the piercing sound of a heartbeat monitor came from the hospital
room!
Lewis stood up abruptly and rushed into the room.
There was no need for him to call for help, as the doctors and nurses had already arrived and were
once again trying to revive Madeleine!
Lewis looked on anxiously…
Keira was still holding the jade ring in her hand, watching Lewis quietly for a long time, until she
ultimately stood up and walked out.

It was really awkward for her to stay here given her
status.
But she didn’t go far. She just stayed outside the hospital, wandering around aimlessly.
Somehow, she found herself in front of a courier
service collection point.
Keira paused slightly.
She looked down at the jade ring in her hand again and then stepped into the shop.
The courier station happened to be a company under her name. The courier recognized her and
immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Boss, what brings you here p>
Over the years, Keira seldom managed these repair and courier companies, but she remembered all
the old employees.
Hearing this, she said, “I’d like to send a package p>
Keira took out the jade ring, had the courier give her a box, and after wrapping it with multiple layers,
she thought for a moment, “Do you have paper and a pen p>
“Yes p>
The courier turned around and brought her paper and
a pen.
Keira then wrote a short note.
“Dear Big Brother,
“I hope this letter doesn’t disturb you. I don’t know if you still remember me, nor do I know if you have
been looking for me over the years.
“I’m writing this letter to tell you that you don’t need to look for me anymore.
“The promises of childhood need not be kept in mind; I’m now married to a loving husband and living a
smooth life, so there’s no need to worry.
“This jade ring seems extraordinary and must be a very important item to you, so I’m returning it to
you p>
Keira was writing this letter because of Lewis.
By putting herself in someone else’s shoes, if that “big brother” was like Lewis and had someone he
liked now,
would he also be struggling with his feelings as Lewis
did?
She took the initiative to write a letter to inform him
of her current situation also looking to put an end to
that connection.
But after writing the letter, she suddenly felt a bit reluctant to let go.
Every time Poppy beat her as a child, making her feel like she couldn’t survive, she would think of the
“big brother” who had promised to come for her…
After some thought, Keira added a few more lines to
the letter.
“By the way, I had no name when I was little, but now I do. My name is Keira, and my phone number is
555… If you come to Oceanion, I’ll buy you lunch p>
Having added these lines, she put the letter and the well-packaged jade ring into a box, cushioned it
with foam, and then handed it to the courier.
The courier took it and asked, “Boss, where is this being sent to p>
Keira then smiled. “No. 76 Glow Road, Glow Village,
Cloud Town p>
As she said the address, she again felt she might be
overthinking things.
Perhaps that jade ring wasn’t worth much money?
After all, a No. 76 house in a village wouldn’t be the home of a wealthy family, right?
The courier then asked, “What’s the recipient’s name p>
Keira thought for a moment.
Back then, that boy didn’t tell her his name, only that he was a member of that family, and he was the
fifth among his siblings.
What was his last name?
He seemed to have mentioned it, but Keira couldn’t
remember at the moment.
Frowning, she suddenly recalled that the boy had once said, “My Grandpa’s brother told me I’m too
stubborn,
so he nicknamed me Stubborn Five p>
Keira then said, “Make it ‘Stubborn Five p>
Yet, the courier’s expression didn’t change at all.
Keira asked, “Isn’t that name strange p>
The courier chuckled. “That’s still normal. You haven’t been delivering couriers these years, so you
don’t know how bizarre the names people come up with for themselves when they shop online! One
time, there
was someone named ‘My Dad’. When you call them, you have to ask, ‘Hello, may I speak to My Dad?’
This courier job even demotes me by a generation. Who do you complain to about that p>
Keira stifled a laugh, then after some thought, she spoke again. “How about this? You personally make
a trip to deliver the package for me. The jade ring is fragile, so be careful p>
Glow Village seemed so far away when she was a child, but in truth, it’s only a five or six-hour drive
away.
The value of the jade ring was unclear; it felt more reassuring to send someone in person.
The courier said, “Alright! I’ll head over now and make sure that it reaches the recipient p>
“Much appreciated p>
After seeing the courier drive off, Keira didn’t return to the hospital; instead, she simply sent a message
to Lewis and went back to the Horton residence.
The moment she entered, she saw Mr. Horton saying farewell to old Mrs. Horton.
Mr. Horton’s face was tinged with reluctance.
237 Return it to Him
“Sister-in-law, you must take good care of yourself. I’m still waiting for you to come home for the New
Year’s ancestral worship p>
Old Mrs. Horton nodded. “Sure, no problem p>
After that, she saw Keira and couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s that brat? Didn’t he say he would come to
see off his second granduncle today p>
Keira smiled upon hearing this. “Perhaps there’s some urgent matter p>
Π
Old Mrs. Horton snorted. “What urgent matter could be more important than his second granduncle p>
Mr. Horton, however, laughed, “Sister-in-law, don’t say that! Lewis is now in charge of the entire Horton
Group, so he’s a very busy man! The kid is dutiful, so he definitely didn’t mean any disrespect; it must b
some important matter that’s delayed him. Besides why are you so formal with me? We are family. If yo
miss me, just drive over with a step on the gas pedal p>
After saying that, he got into his car.
Keira helped old Mrs. Horton to move a couple of steps forward.
Old Mrs. Horton waved her hand. “Drive carefully.
There’s no need to rush p>
“Understood p>
After that, Mr. Horton turned to Nathan and Oliver, his expression becoming serious. “You guys make
sure to behave, understand p>
Nathan pursed his lips and didn’t speak.
Oliver said with a smile, “Got it, second granduncle. Don’t worry p>
Only then did Mr. Horton look off into the distance again, sighing with helpless resignation.
In truth, he had wanted to give Lewis a couple more words of advice, given that he had watched over
him for several years when he was younger, and they had a
bond.
Concerning the old lady’s illness, he was initially misled by Oliver into misunderstanding the situation
with Lewis and his wife.
He wondered if that brat was angry with him over this, which was why he deliberately didn’t come to
see him
off.
At that thought, Mr. Horton couldn’t help but grumble
“That Stubborn Five p>
