Old Mrs. Horton paused for a moment, then turned her head to look.

She saw Lewis had already rushed up to Oliver, kicking him away with a single powerful blow!

Old Mrs. Horton finally felt she could breathe again, but she knew it was too late.

Her body had already reached its limit. Just moments ago, she had sensed her time was up, which was why she had urgently dragged Oliver upstairs.

Now, with Lewis supporting her, Old Mrs. Horton managed a faint smile. She pointed to a direction nearby and said, “There’s a camera over there. Lewis, it’s clear that Oliver tried to strangle me. You need to avenge me!”

Lewis’s eyes were red as he looked at her.

He realized how wrong he had been!

He thought his grandmother was kind and thought she owed something to the first branch, so she wanted to be close to them. But he never imagined that even in the end, Grandma’s concern was still about helping him!

If Grandma had passed away, he would have been accused of being heartless, but now, with Oliver’s actions, he had justification to act against the first branch.

Tears streamed down Lewis’s face, but an aged hand reached up to wipe them away. Old Mrs. Horton looked at him and said, “Lewis, a man shouldn’t cry.”

Lewis nodded through his tears, choking on his emotions. “Okay. I won’t cry.”

H tried to hold back the tears.

Old Mrs. Horton gently touched his face. “My dear grandson, you haven’t been upset with me for saying I didn’t know you, have you?”

Lewis shook his head. “No, Grandma. How could I be upset with you…”

“That’s good.” Old Mrs. Horton smiled and then turned to Keira, reaching out a trembling hand.

Keira quickly moved forward, crouching beside her and holding her hand. “Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Horton smiled as she joined Keira’s hand with Lewis’s. She spoke softly, “Granddaughter-in-law, I don’t know what you’re doing, but no matter what, promise me one thing.”

Keira replied immediately, “Of course.”

Old Mrs. Horton sighed, “No matter what happens from now on, never let go of this brat’s hand, okay?”

Keira’s eyes filled with tears instantly. She choked up as she replied, “Okay. I promise!”

Old Mrs. Horton smiled. “You promised me, so make sure you keep your word… I’m leaving this rascal to you…”

As she finished her last sentence, Old Mrs. Horton closed her eyes. The hand that had been connecting Keira and Lewis fell lifelessly.

“Grandma!!”

“Grandma!”

Both Lewis and Keira cried out in shock, then embraced Old Mrs. Horton, sobbing uncontrollably.

Lewis didn’t mention any attempts at resuscitation… and neither did Keira.

Given Grandma’s age and condition, resuscitation would be meaningless. Even if they managed to bring her back, it would only be for a few more days of suffering…

She would also have to endure the process of CPR.

They both knew that Old Mrs. Horton was prepared to leave, so they let her go with dignity.

Dignity…

Thinking of this, Keira realized Old Mrs. Horton had been wearing a new outfit today. Since the old lady had always preferred dark blue clothing, it looked like a mourning dress. They hadn’t noticed anything unusual before…

Keira’s eyes were also red.

Tears streamed down her face…

Grandma…

Her heart was heavy with sorrow, wishing the elderly lady could live forever and stay with them, but they all knew that wasn’t possible…

…

Old Mrs. Horton’s funeral was conducted with great dignity.

The elderly lady came with dignity and left with dignity.

Nearly everyone from the five major families in Clance attended the funeral.

The Davis family sent Wayne, who expressed his deep sorrow before leaving without saying much.

Lewis’s mother didn’t show up.

Other family heads from the major families came, clearly understanding Old Mrs. Horton’s significance to Lewis.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The Olsen family had the largest presence, including Uncle Olsen and Keira’s brothers. They all wore black suits with white corsages.

After paying their respects, Uncle Olsen approached Lewis and patted his shoulder.

He seemed to want to say something but decided that no words could suffice at the moment. He just patted his shoulder and left.

Ellis came with Mary, who was visibly five months pregnant, trying to cover her bump with loose clothing.

Despite her efforts, it was still noticeable. Those in the know could probably guess what was happening.

Keira quickly said, “Why are you here? You shouldn’t have come.”

Mary grasped her hand. “This is a significant event for your fiancé. How could I not come?”

Mary whispered, “Your fiancé’s devotion to old Mrs. Horton shows his good character. He’s a reliable person.”

Hearing “reliable” made Keira’s heart ache.

Though she had lived by her sister’s standards in Clance and hadn’t wronged anyone, she felt she owed Mary.

Mary’s kindness was always because of Keera, not Keira.

Mary had sacrificed her own comfort for a long time…

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Now, risking exposure of her pregnancy, Mary had come to offer comfort to her friend.

Indeed…

The fact of Mary’s pregnancy hadn’t been made public by the Olsen family.

Rumors about Ellis being infertile had circulated, showing how audacious their enemies were.

Even though Keira had found out Erin was Fox, the identity of Lion was still unknown…

So, the Olsen family was cautious and kept the pregnancy a secret.

But Mary came.

Old Mrs. Horton’s passing made Keira feel conflicted, which added to her sadness.

Or perhaps it was something else…

At that moment, looking at Mary, Keira felt a sudden urge to reveal the truth…

As she thought of this, she held Mary’s hand and said, “Mary, there’s something I want to tell you.”

Mary looked at her with curiosity, following Keira to a secluded spot where no one could overhear them.

Ellis watched them with concern, but Mary gave him a reassuring look. Once they were alone, Mary asked, “Keera, what is it? Is there something important you need to tell me?”

Keira looked at her.

She suddenly smiled and began, “Mary, actually…”
