Chapter 207
Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Jodie South was momentarily taken aback when she heard the name “Uncle Olsen,” “How do you know him p>
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen realized that Taylor Olsen must not have told her that Uncle Olsen had arrived, no wonder Taylor seemed a bit guilty when Jodie asked him to leave earlier.
However, Keira wasn’t one to hold back, and she said directly, “Ellis Olsen told him about your coma, and he rushed over overnight, he has been in the parking lot downstairs for an entire day and night p>
When Jodie heard this, she clenched her fists, a trace of worry suddenly coloring her face as she turned her head to ask, “Has he visited the ward p>
“No p>
Out of curiosity, Keira said, “He seemed to have stood outside for a while on the first day, and then just stayed in the parking lot downstairs. Also, he seemed to want to come into the ward to see you today, but Taylor stopped him p>
“Don’t blame Taylor,” Mrs. Olsen responded. “I won’t meet him; we agreed that we would never see each other again, not even in life or death p>
Keira was stunned.
Not even in life or death?
Even if they were once lovers, who would say such heartless words even after breaking up?
The attitude of Uncle Olsen towards Jodie South was apparent; he deeply loved Jodie. What exactly had happened between them?
She was curious, but seeing the sad look on Jodie’s face, she knew some questions were better not asked.
Jodie changed the subject: “How is Old Mrs. Horton doing p>
Keira sighed, “She is getting old, and the outlook is not optimistic p>
Even with the special medicine, it could only extend her life for another two or three years.
Jodie nodded, then looked at her, “Keira, I used to think I should not interfere too much, so I didn’t ask much. But now I’m your mother, so I must ask. What exactly is going on between you and Lewis Horton? Why did you get married p>
Upon hearing this, Keira smiled bitterly, “Actually, I don’t know p>
“Don’t know p>
Jodie was momentarily puzzled, “How could you not know p>
Keira then spoke, “Isla Olsen forced me to clear the boundaries with Jake and told me to find someone to have a quick marriage. When I went to the courthouse to get the certificate, I was told that I was already married, and the other party was Lewis Horton p>
Jodie immediately grasped her hand, “Isla actually forced you to get married? How could you be so foolish to agree to this kind of thing p>
Keira did not respond.
But Jodie understood something, “Is it the same old scheme? Poppy Hill is morally blackmailing you again, Keira, you’ve suffered too much… Even if Poppy Hill was punished like this, I would still hate her desperately p>
Seeing her mother’s distressed expression and fearing she would fall into self-blame again, Keira said, “What exactly happened with my marriage to Lewis Horton, probably only Grandma Horton knows. So I’m waiting for her condition to improve, hopefully, she will remember p>
Jodie quickly spoke, “Can her condition improve p>
Keira nodded and said, “There’s a research institute in Clance that has developed a specific medicine for Alzheimer’s disease, I plan to try it for grandma p>
The special medicine was for treating amnesia, and Old Mrs. Horton was too old; she couldn’t hold on because of her physical condition.
But it wasn’t right to let Grandma live out her remaining days in obliviousness. If she could regain clarity of mind, Lewis would probably be happier.
Jodie nodded, “The slots at the Clance Research Institute are generally hard to get, does the Horton family have any connections now? If not, I can help p>
Upon hearing this, Keira looked at Jodie, “Mom, do you have that many connections in Clance p>
Jodie bowed her head, “It’s okay p>
Suddenly, Keira asked, “Who exactly are you p>
Keira Olsen had always known that Jodie South was different from others.
She seemed to have no family, living in Oceanion solely with Aunt South, and the company run by the Olsens in Oceanion was Jodie’s doing, not large in scale, just enough to provide for the Olsen’s basic needs.
Now, the only reason they could make money was because she helped them under the guise of Dr. South…
Before, the Olsens in Oceanion were just a middle-class family, nothing noteworthy.
But Jodie South’s eloquence, her opinions on certain matters, and even her views on socio-economics were all her own.
As a child, Keira frequently eavesdropped on her talking to Isla Olsen.
Back then, she would pretend to mop the floor, crouching down and working while listening to her share many interesting stories.
Keira’s success today was, in no small part, due to Jodie South.
But she had never asked, nor inquired about Jodie’s private matters, because she felt unworthy.
Now, however, things were different.
Jodie South was her biological mother, and she was curious about her mother’s origins.
Jodie South touched her head, “Isla has never seen through my origins over the years, yet you, Keira, are so astute and smart p>
After saying this, she sighed, “But I just want you to be Keira Olsen of Oceanion, not touching on those p>
Seeing this, Keira sighed.
Her biological mother had quite a few secrets!
Forget it, don’t ask anymore.
They had a stable life in Oceanion for over twenty years, so it wasn’t an issue, right?
Just as Keira thought this, footsteps sounded at the door, and she turned around to see Ellis Olsen knocking and then walking in.
Upon seeing Jodie South awake, he immediately patted his chest, “Mrs. Olsen, you really woke up! That is such great news! Uncle Olsen will be relieved to know this p>
Jodie South’s expression flickered when he mentioned Uncle Olsen and then she politely distanced herself, “I’m fine, thanks for your concern p>
“Hey, what’s this?” Ellis waved his hand, “Uncle Olsen himself said, your matters are my matters. Do you have any other orders p>
Jodie South shook her head, “I’m fine, tell your uncle to go back p>
Hearing this, Ellis’s eyes flickered, and he spoke again, “Uncle Olsen can go back, yes, but he has a wish before leaving p>
Jodie South blinked, “What p>
Ellis laughed, “Before knowing Keira was your biological daughter, Uncle Olsen made some mistakes regarding Miss Olsen. He wants to apologize in person, so he’d like to invite Mrs. Olsen and Miss Olsen for a meal. Is that convenient p>
Uncle Olsen came all this way, hesitating so long outside the hospital room, wanting to enter but not daring to.
What is this “never meeting until death” nonsense?
It must be Mrs. Olsen who is restricting Uncle Olsen.
Ellis just wanted to try and see if there was still a chance.
Yet Jodie South lowered her gaze, “I’m not feeling well, so I won’t go p>
Ellis chuckled, “What about Miss Olsen? She said she listens to her mother p>
At this, Jodie South couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Keira, noticed her slightly reddened face, and her fingers tightened slightly. Then, as if she had made a decision, she said, “Let Keira go and meet him p>
