Chapter 181
Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Ellis Olsen was a bit stunned upon hearing those words, “Huh? You’re at the hospital entrance? Then I’ll come downstairs to meet you right away p>
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Lewis Horton and thought to himself, Lewis Horton, I can’t do anything about you, but my Uncle Olsen is here! Just wait, after bullying Mrs. Olsen, you definitely won’t have it easy!
With that thought, he hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Nobody in the hospital room noticed he had left after making the call, except for Isla Olsen.
She immediately went over to Jake Horton and asked, “Jake, did Young Master Olsen just say his elder relative has come p>
Jake Horton was taken aback, “Did he? I didn’t hear clearly p>
He furrowed his brows, his mind filled with the words Lewis Horton had said, his gaze unconsciously falling on Isla’s abdomen as he asked tentatively, “Is this child really mine p>
Isla’s eyes flickered in that instance.
She had, of course, heard the exchange between Lewis Horton and Jake Horton in the room earlier. She had thought that Jake trusted her, but she didn’t expect that he would ask again.
This was clearly a sign of mistrust!
And no wonder, the night she was with Jake, he was drunk and kept calling her Kiera…
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly.
Isla wore a look of grievance, “Jake, what do you mean by this? You don’t suspect me, do you p>
Jake Horton frowned deeply, scrutinizing her. Seeing that her face bore only sadness and no other expression, he finally spoke, “Of course I trust you. It’s just that my uncle just said that because he can’t have children himself, he’s just jealous of me p>
Isla finally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, “Young Master Olsen was just on the phone, and I heard him calling out ‘Uncle Olsen has come,’ Uncle Olsen… Isn’t that the head of the Clance Olsen Family p>
Jake Horton was startled, then shook his head, “Impossible, someone of his stature, how could he possibly come to Clance, especially to this hospital to visit your mother p>
Mrs. Olsen might have some connections in Clance, but Jake didn’t think it would be so significant.
Uncle Olsen is such an influential figure that a mere stomp from him could shake the entire economic sector in Clance. How could he personally come to visit Mrs. Olsen?
If Mrs. Olsen had such connections, the Olsen Family’s business would have been booming by now, not to mention surpassing the Horton Family, they would at least be ranking high in Oceanion.
Isla thought it over and also felt it was improbable.
She must have been overthinking it… right?
But if Mrs. Olsen really had such connections, how could she bear to let Isla marry Jake? Why not introduce her to some big shot in Clance p>
With that thought in mind, she looked towards the hospital room with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
Mrs. Olsen had many secrets hidden, ones that even she didn’t know about.
Even Mrs. Olsen’s connections were kept tightly sealed. If Isla hadn’t threatened with death, Mrs. Olsen would never have gone to the Horton Family, nor would she have been able to ask the Clance Olsen Family to support her…
A cold smirk curled the corners of Isla’s lips.
If Mrs. Olsen were to die like this, who in Clance would come to pay their respects? Perhaps those connections, seeing her as the bereaved orphan of Mrs. Olsen, would take extra care of her, right?
Then, Mrs. Olsen’s connections would then be transferred to her!
No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than Isla quickly retracted her malevolent gaze.
At that moment, there were footsteps from outside the door.
Tom Davis entered with five elderly-looking experts, heading straight for the hospital room.
When the doctors and nurses couldn’t find the cause, the five experts also gathered around Mrs. Olsen’s bedside.
Taylor Olsen was forced to step aside.
But he didn’t back down, staying close to the experts, his gaze fixed intently on the person in the hospital bed. His eyes were red with intensity, and even though he didn’t speak, it was clear he was extremely nervous and on the verge of collapse.
His lips were dry, even cracked in places.
From the time Mrs. Olsen’s incident occurred until now, he had been refusing food and drink, constantly by her side.
Isla approached and held his arm, “Dad, go have some water, rest for a bit p>
“Back off p>
Taylor Olsen glared at Isla, his eyes devoid of any warmth, cold as if looking at a dead person, “Don’t think of making me leave Shirley p>
Seeing his condition, Isla paused slightly, then felt a tinge of sourness in her heart.
Taylor Olsen was her biological father, the man who had doted on and loved her as she grew up.
This was the first time Isla saw such a foreign emotion in his eyes.
A wave of sourness suddenly rose in her heart.
The kindness her father showed her was only because she was Mrs. Olsen’s daughter…
If her father knew she was Poppy Hill’s daughter, he probably wouldn’t be so kind to her, would he?
This was her understanding ever since she was little, so she kept that secret tightly concealed.
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “Dad, you should sit down first p>
But Taylor Olsen ignored her, still staring intently at Mrs. Olsen, “Shirley, you can’t leave me, you know? What’s the point of living without you p>
The way he looked, everyone could tell, if Mrs. Olsen really didn’t wake up, Taylor Olsen might join her p>
Isla Olsen’s eyes reddened, and she turned her head away.
The doctor beside her couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh.
Keira Olsen clenched her fists.
No matter how poorly her father, Taylor Olsen, treated her, his feelings for Mrs. Olsen had always been genuine…
Unfortunately, for so many years, there always seemed to be a barrier between Mrs. Olsen and him, like a faint veil blocking his intense love…
Keira Olsen always felt that what stood between them was Poppy Hill and herself.
Without them, Mrs. Olsen and Taylor Olsen must have been a very affectionate couple, right?
While Keira Olsen was thinking this, the specialists from Oceanion had finished examining Mrs. Olsen. They huddled together for a discussion and quickly reached a conclusion, uttering a sentence that reassured everyone, “Mrs. Olsen is not in life-threatening danger p>
These words made Taylor Olsen sigh with relief once again.
He asked urgently, “Then why won’t Shirley wake up p>
The doctors looked at each other, “We’ve also sensed her brain waves, and there’s nothing wrong with them. As for why Mrs. Olsen won’t wake up, we’ve discussed it, and it’s probably because she hasn’t had a good rest for too long, and her body has autonomously initiated sleep mode, to recover her strength and energy as soon as possible p>
Taylor Olsen urgently asked again, “Then when will she wake up p>
“At the latest, in three days p>
Taylor Olsen breathed a sigh of relief, moved back to his seat, and took Mrs. Olsen’s hand, “Shirley, you want to sleep properly for three days, right? That’s okay, I’ll be with you p>
He sat there quietly, no longer speaking.
Keira Olsen tensed her jaw.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Uncle Olsen’s car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
After Ellis Olsen picked him up, he led him swiftly up towards the hospital room.
Scratching his head, he asked, “Uncle, what exactly is your relationship with Mrs. Olsen? Why did you come here in person p>
Uncle Olsen’s expression was resolute and stable. Approaching fifty, he looked like a man in his thirties or forties, with a physique that wasn’t typically heavyset for his age, still lean and strong.
He wore a black cape, exuding a sharp and cold aura.
Those cool, alluring eyes glanced sideways at Ellis Olsen after hearing this.
Ellis Olsen immediately stretched out his hand and mimed zipping his own lips, “OK, I won’t ask what I shouldn’t p>
Uncle Olsen looked away, his sparing words accompanied by a resolute gaze fixed forward.
He didn’t even wait for the elevator and started climbing the stairs directly to the third floor.
Ellis Olsen said, “Uncle, don’t rush. The doctors said Mrs. Olsen isn’t in life-threatening danger, just tired and hasn’t woken up yet p>
Uncle Olsen’s expression eased a bit, but his pace didn’t stop.
Ellis Olsen coughed and attempted to lighten the mood with a joke, “Uncle, do you know all the ladies of Grandma’s generation p>
Uncle Olsen coldly replied, “More or less. Your grandmother took me to many parties back in the day. Why p>
“Oh, it’s nothing major. It’s just that Lewis Horton came with a photo looking for one of the grandmas. I was worried I wouldn’t recognize her, but if you do, that would be great… Since you’re here, you could help him take a look p>
Ellis Olsen touched his nose.
Without saying much more, Uncle Olsen hastened his steps.
The two quickly arrived outside the hospital room.
Ellis Olsen pushed the door and entered.
