My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

202 Regret

Keira watched coldly as Isla walked away, and after a moment's thought, she followed her.

She had never been a saint, and certainly not worried about Isla. She just wanted to see how things would

end for her.

Seeing her heading toward the emergency room, Lewis immediately followed and, after taking a few steps,

turned back to Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you want

to cand see as well?”

Uncle Olsen’s gaze deepened, and he glanced a few times in the direction of the ward.

After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “No, I'll wait here for you to cback.”

He had just messed up, troubling Mrs. Olsen’s real daughter for the sake of Isla, and owed her an apology.

Lewis nodded and, without further attention to him,

chased after Keira toward the ward.

Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis.

Ellis immediately understood and made an “OK”

gesture with his hand. “Got it, I'll follow. Don’t worry, | won't let Mrs. Olsen's real daughter be bullied!”

As Keira arrived in front of the emergency room, she saw a few journalists hiding in a corner waiting for the

outcand the follow-up, along with Poppy and Holly.

Just as she was wondering where the members of the Horton family were, she heard the sound of a slap coming

from the staircase nearby.

A loud “smack” rang out distinctly.

Keira paused just a step, then took two steps back and through the glass window saw Oliver, Melissa, and Jake

there.

Nathan must have realized something was wrong an left immediately to avoid further embarrassment.

Oliver was beside himself with anger, not satisfied wit slapping Jake once, he raised his hand to hit him again but

was stopped by Melissa. “Why are you hitting him? It was Isla’s fault!”

sneered. “I said from the start, | didn’t agree to this marriage! Isla had a scheming mind, and you insisted on

having Jake marry her. Look what's happened now!”

Melissa wailed. “Yes, | disagreed at first too, but when Mrs. Olsen mentioned her connections in Clance, didn’t

you agree as well? Without your consent, how could Jake have married her?!”

Oliver glared at her, “If | had known she was the illegitimate daughter, | would have never agreed! In the end,

it’s you and Jake who can’t judge people’s

character!”

Melissa wiped her tears. “No one wanted this to happen. Isla’s intentions were so deep. Not to mention Jake and

Oliver scoffed. “Who else should | blif not you? You've completely humiliated the first branch of the family!

family’s illegitimate daughter, and who would have thought it would turn out like this!”

He patted his own face angrily. “You've lost all my face!”

Melissa immediately grasped his hand. “Oliver, don’t say that. Jake will surely help you turn things around. Don’t

be angry...”

Oliver, however, yanked his hand away and looked directly at Jake. “Him? A waste will always be a waste, and he

has shown no progress through the years! He can’t even begin to compare to his sister!”

Leaving that remark behind, Oliver turned and went downstairs.

His heartless manner left Melissa covering her face as she started weeping, then began to slap Jake. “You finally

had a chance to stand out, letting your dad chand sleep tonight, and now, he certainly won't come

back! Jake, why are you so unlucky? You never able to satisfy him no matter what you do...”

Jake's eyes were bloodshot, his head hanging low, like child who had done something wrong.

He stared blankly at Melissa

Melissa cried out, “You must work hard! You must surpass that illegitimate daughter! You can’t let your father

Melissa was so anxious that she was running in circles, making Jake's eyes turn a deeper red.

He grabbed Melissa’s hand. “Mom, don’t be afraid... Even if she comes back, she won't be able to stir up any

trouble. She's just a girl, and sooner or later, she'll be married off. I'm my father’s only son!”

Upon hearing this, Melissa finally calmed down. “That's right, that’s right. As long as we prepare a generous

dowry for that illegitimate daughter and marry her off, you'll still be your father’s only son... I'm going home

now. | must secure my place and absolutely cannot that illegitimate daughter enter our home!”

After that, she tugged on Jake’s hand. “Let’s go, we're going home!”

Jake took a few steps with her but then stopped, his gaze conflicted as he looked toward the emergency

Jake lowered his gaze, “Mom, | just want to wait until her surgery is over...”

Isla was in critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.

After pondering for a moment, Melissa sneered. “Fine. Then you stay here. I'll have someone send over the

divorce agreement. If she survives and comes out of the operating room, you make her sign it. If she dies, it'll all

be for the best!”

Leaving behind such heartless words, Melissa strode

away.

Jake stood there alone, his fists clenched. He then opened the door in the hallway, and the moment the door

opened, he saw Keira.

He was slightly taken aback, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words...

He hesitated for a long tbefore finally saying in a slow drawl, “I'm sorry, I...”

Before he could finish, Keira walked past him without a glance, heading straight for the door of the operating

room.

Jake stared dully at her from behind, and a surge of regret and frustration suddenly filled his chest, packing it

tight.

He had given up on Keira because of her identity as an illegitimate daughter... There was even a moment when

he felt he was close to catching up to her.

She was the one he should have cherished... But after learning she was an illegitimate daughter, he acted

impulsively and committed so many mistakes!

Now, he felt a severe pain in his chest, so intense tha he couldn’t help but bend over.

He curled his lips, wanting to smile, but tears streame

down instead...

Lewis and Ellis walked past him, neither giving Jake a glance.

At that moment, Ellis was asking Lewis, “Hey, this illeg... | mean, your wife, her father is Taylor, isn’t it? How

cshe doesn’t look like him at all?”
