Keira looked up upon hearing this. She was about to give her nbut stopped herself.
Then, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Sir, there are sthings that | find hard to say to familiar people, but
strangely, | can open up to a stranger. How about we make a deal and not pry into each other's private affairs?”
Uncle Olsen burst into hearty laughter, feeling that this young lady was very much to his liking!
“Deal.”
Neither of them was good with words, but they both had an understanding when it cto eating. They reached
for the sdish at the stime.
After the meal, Uncle Olsen wiped the corner of his mouth. “You boughtdinner, so | must treat you to one in
return.”
“No problem,” Keira smiled.
“Then let’s do it in two days, Uncle Olsen suggested, looking at her. “I'm returning to Clance in two days.

How about | invite your whole family to a farewell banquet right here? | can see for myself what your mother is
really like.”
Keira laughed. “Sure!”
Mrs. Olsen was always spontaneous, and Keira knew without asking that her mother would agree.
“See you later.”
Keira waved her hand, stood up to pay the bill, and
then went out to take a taxi.
After she left, Uncle Olsen waited in his original spot for a while before chuckling to himself.
If Ellis were here, he'd be shocked!
In the last twenty years, Uncle Olsen hadn’t smiled more than three times!
Uncle Olsen looked around the dining table, thought about the enjoyable meal he'd just had with the young
woman, and eventually left the restaurant reluctantly
to return to his hotel.
No sooner had he entered than he saw Ellis working while eating takeout.

Uncle Olsen was about to walk past him but suddenly cback to stare at him, thinking of the girl's face which
closely resembled her mother’s, and suddenly asked, “Your father, or your second uncle, do either of
them have an illegitimate daughter outside?”
Ellis almost choked on his food. “Uncle, what kind of joke is that?”
“I saw a young girl today who looked a lot like your grandmother.”
Ellis’s mouth twitched. “There are plenty of people in the world who look alike. Uncle, you're really
overthinking it! Instead of suspecting my dad and my second uncle, you might as well consider whether you
have any children you don’t know about!”
Uncle Olsen was speechless.
Keira didn’t return to the Horton family but took a t to the Olsen family to find her mom.
She hadn’t seen Mrs. Olsen all day and missed her dearly.
Standing outside Olsen residence again, Keira felt
10:58

differently.

In the past, she thought of this place as hell, from where she needed to escape
But standing there today, she felt it was hbecause her mother was there...
Keira pushed open the door, then was shocked.
She saw the tidy courtyard cluttered with many items, with large packing boxes being sorted by the
housekeepers, who were putting things inside.
When the housekeepers saw Keira, they immediately smiled. “Good to see you, Miss!”
Keira felt a warmth in her heart.
She quickly made her way past them into the living room, where she saw Mrs. Olsen sitting on the sofa, looking
at a piece of paper. Her eyes lit up when she saw Keira. “Keira, cquickly...”
Keira walked over and leaned beside her, only to see that she was holding a renovation blueprint. “I had them
demolish the upstairs room that belonged to Isla. We'll replace it with decorations you like. That way, you can
bring Lewis over to stay occasionally.”

Keira’s eyes immediately filled with tears.
This morning, when she returned from discharging her mother from the hospital, Keira glanced upstairs...
Isla’s room and traces of her presence were
everywhere in the villa...
At that moment, she didn’t think much about it, but little did she expect Mrs. Olsen would know all about
jE
She held Mrs. Olsen’s arm. “Mom, you are the best
mom in the world! I really like the renovation designs
on this blueprint!”
Mrs. Olsen patted her head. “Silly child, this is all because | owe you... What did you have for dinner tonight?”
Keira chuckled. “I met a very interesting uncle today and treated him to dinner. He said he'd treat us
meal in two days. Mom, let's go together!”
“Sure.”
As expected, Mrs. Olsen agreed immediately and th added. “By the way, the basement where you and Poppy Hill
used to live, | had it demolished today. But
sof our things are still thara We should go niok

them up so that they don’t accidentally throw them
away...”
Keira nodded.
The two went down to the basement.
The semi-basement was very dim and about four square meters big, which was too small to fit anything
besides Keira’s small bed.
After Keira grew up, Poppy moved to the
housekeeper’s quarters, leaving Keira alone in that
space.
She immediately ran to the bed and pulled out a
cardboard box.
When Keira left the Olsen family, Poppy didn’t allow her to take anything, so the contents of the box
remained behind.
Mrs. Olsen looked at how. Keira cherished that box al
laughed as she opened it, but when she saw what was inside, she was suddenly stunned.
Inside, there were all the things she had given to Keira.
There was a doll that had been cut open and then sewn back together, which Mrs. Olsen had given to

221 See You Again
Keira when she was three years old.
There was a white dress torn into strips, which she had secretly given to Keira on her thirteenth birthday.
There was even a shattered cell phone, which she had given to Keira when she was about to leave the Olsen
family...
Isla was very terrifying as a child; whatever Mrs. Olsen gave to Keira would be destroyed by Isla, who would then
have Poppy severely punish Keira.
Mrs. Olsen knew this, but every tshe scolded Isla, Isla would cry and say she was afraid of her love being
divided and given to Keira...
So later, Mrs. Olsen stopped giving Keira gifts, afraid of hurting her.
Mrs. Olsen's tears fell. “Keira, do you hate me?”
“I don’t hate you!” Keira replied with a smile. “Mom you know? I'm really glad that Poppy Hill never gava
name, and later at the police station when | randomly chose one for myself, | thought about you. Actually, when |
was a kid, | always wanted to sing for you...”

Mrs. Olsen's eyes reddened even more, and she tightly held Keira’s hand. “Keira, let's throw all these away, and
I'll make up for all the gifts from when you were one year old to now.”
She didn’t want to keep those that were rotten, as they
would only bring sadness!
Keira understood her thoughts and nodded. “All these can be thrown away, but there’s one thing that can’t...”
She rummaged through the box and pulled out a jade
ring.
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback when she saw it. “What is
this?”
The jade ring looked very old, and the quality of the jade was excellent, probably quite valuable.
Keira explained, “This was given toby a big brother.”
When she was separated from that boy after bei kidnapped as a child, he gave her the jade ring, tel her, “If you
can’t stand your family, take this and co find me; I'm in Glow Village in Oceanion’s Cloud Tow

Keira always remembered that place firmly.
That was her only hope every tshe felt like she was about to die when she was a child.
She drew a red string, threaded the ring onto it, and
hung it around her neck, then pointed to everything in the room, “The rest can be thrown away!”

After Keira’s arrival, Taylor went to the study.
Their relationship was even more awkward, as they weren't father and daughter.
Keira was downstairs discussing the room’s decoration with Mrs. Olsen, very interested in it and treating the
matter seriously, knowing that it was going to be her
future home.
When it was getting late, Mrs. Olsen urged her to go home, and Keira reluctantly walked out the door
But when she stepped out, she saw Lewis's Bentle parked outside.
Keira was slightly startled and walked over.
Lewis got out of the car and cto open the door f her. “I knew you were here, so | cto take you
home”

Keira smiled.
Lewis said in a low voice, “Sorry, | tonight...”
“It’s okay.”
Keira interrupted him.
Lewis pursed his lips tightly and braced his chin.
After getting into the car, Lewis still stared straight
ahead.
He had just gone to the hospital.
Madeleine really had a fruit knife against a major artery in her neck while shouting at the doctors. “Don’t come
over, don’t cover! | just want Lewis!”
And when he arrived, Madeleine looked at him. “Lewis, you promised to marry me! Do you know, marrying you is
my biggest hope! It’s the only reason | keep living! Now go hand divorce that woman! Otherwise, I'll kill
myself!”
She took the knife and moved it around her neck with
such force that she seemed to really mean it.
Lewis had previously thought she might be faking it, using the affairs of their childhood to morally
10/12
< 221 See You Again
blackmail him. But after consulting many psychiatrists, he concluded that she wasn’t lying.
Her only hope to live on was him.
Lewis felt the air inside the car incredibly stuffy, so he loosened his tie and clenched his fists.
Did he really have to fulfill the promises made in
childhood?
And what about Keira, his wife?
Lewis took a deep breath and turned to Keira. “Why did you suddenly go back to the Olsen house?”
Keira subconsciously touched her neck. “I went back to fetch sthings.”
Her action made Lewis notice something new around her neck, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What is it that you
treasure so much you have to hide it...”
