Chapter 188 Caught
Isla's piercing scream came through. "My baby! Keira, you did this on purpose! You killed my child!"
Lewis frowned, and he quickened his steps into the room.
Uncle Olsen was slightly taken aback.
Once he understood the situation and saw that Mrs. Olsen was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, then stood at the door and turned to look at Ellis, who was guarding outside, asking, "What happened?"
Ellis was also in a daze.
Two minutes ago, at his uncle's command, he came to check on Mrs. Olsen's condition, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw Isla and Keira in a scuffle...
Inside the hospital room.
Isla was on the ground, clutching her own abdomen, with her trousers stained red by blood, while Jake was helping her.
Isla exclaimed, "Jake, she pushed me!"
Jake's eyes were red-rimmed as he stared at Isla and said, "I know, I saw it... Isla, how are you feeling?"
Cold sweat broke out on Isla's forehead. "My stomach hurts, it's so painful... Jake, we've lost our baby..."
Having been pregnant for just two months and losing so much blood, one didn't need to think to know the baby was gone too. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jake, hearing this, became frantic, "Doctor, doctor!"
The doctors outside rushed in, and Jake, holding Isla, immediately placed her on the gurney and quickly ran toward the emergency room...
Keira stood behind them, a hint of mockery flashing through her eyes.
Lewis glanced at her and asked. "Are you okay?"
Keira responded indifferently, "I'm fine."
Isla had just been grabbing her, not letting her go, insisting that she persuade Taylor.
Keira was getting a bit impatient; she just pulled her hand away, using a bit of force, and Isla charged backward, then violently crashed her waist against the chair.
What followed was that bloody scene.
She wanted to laugh.
It was written all over Isla's face, her petty tricks. Wasn't it just because Lewis reminded Jake, leading Jake to become suspicious of her?
Keira had long anticipated that Isla would seek an accident to have a miscarriage.
After all, she was already married into the Horton family, and if this child was gone, there could be another...
But she had just woken up and was worried about Mrs. Olsen, so she hadn't expected Isla to pull such a stunt in the hospital room!
After thinking for a moment, she gestured to Lewis. "Although the child is gone, tests can still be done. Can you speak to the hospital on my behalf..."
Keira wasn't the least bit panicked.
With the DNA test report in hand proving the child wasn't Jake's, the Horton family wouldn't pursue further, and Isla's charade would be in vain.
Furthermore...
A smirk appeared on Keira's lips.
Yesterday, it was said that as long as that child was still there, Connor wouldn't talk, and now the child was gone... if they could just come up with a way to make Connor give up on Isla, then he would reveal the secret.
Isla's move was simply suicidal!
Lewis immediately sent a message to Tom.
The hospital belonged to the Horton family, so they could do whatever they wanted here.
The way they exchanged smiles and glances, caught in the eyes of Ellis, made him frown. He said angrily, "Keira, Lewis, how can you two still be smiling?! You've just caused the death of a human being. Don't you feel even a little bit of remorse?"
Keira slowly began. "I didn't push her, it wasn't my fault."
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be? I saw it with my own eyes, and you're still lying! Mr. Olsen, you saw it too, didn't you?!" Ellis looked to Taylor for confirmation.
But strangely enough, Taylor was still just staring at the hospital bed where his wife lay, never saying a word from the start to the finish.
It was as if he simply didn't care about Isla's miscarriage.
Both Keira and Ellis knew that Taylor was lost in his own world...
Unless Mrs. Olsen woke up, there was a real possibility he might genuinely starve himself to death.
Ellis frowned upon seeing him like this/ "Forget it, if he's not in the mood to deal with you, Uncle Olsen and I cannot just stand by and watch Mrs. Olsen's daughter be bullied by you! I will take care of this matter myself!"
With these words, he left the room.
One hour later, someone entered the room and called out, "Sir, Madam, the elder Mr. Olsen is here, asking for you to go to Miss Isla's hospital room."
Lewis stood up, "I'll go. You stay here."
The butler immediately said, "The elder Mr. Olsen asked for both of you to come over."
Lewis's brow knitted, about to speak, when the butler added with a smile. "Hearing that Mrs. Olsen was hospitalized here, they initially intended to come find you and your wife for a talk. But out of concern for disturbing Mrs. Olsen's rest, they decided to call you two over instead... "
At those words, Keira immediately stood up. "Then let's go."
She and Lewis left the room and turned left at the two adjoining hospital rooms to Isla's room.
At that moment, she was lying on the hospital bed, her complexion a bit pale and her eyes slightly red.
The Horton family members present in the room were quite numerous.
Nathan, Oliver, and Melissa were all there, and Jake was right beside Isla's bed, putting on an appearance of deep affection and loyalty.
As the two entered the room, Jake immediately clenched his fists, looking angrily at Keira. "Keira, didn't you know that Isla was pregnant? How could you push her with such force? You definitely did it on purpose!!"
Melissa also stood up abruptly, looking angrily at them. "Lewis, what are you trying to do? The first branch of the family was about to have a great-grandson. How could you do such a thing?! Do you realize that the child who was miscarried was a boy?"
Her heartache was intense.
If Jake had a son, and Lewis's side ended up without children, then ultimately the Horton family's wealth would still belong to their first branch.
But she never imagined that this dream would be shattered!
Oliver immediately chimed in with Melissa. "Lewis, I've always known you didn't like me as your elder brother, but how could you do something like this? You've been married for two years and haven't had a child, are you so desperate? But that doesn't mean you should harm your nephew's child!"
Nathan also slammed a hand on the armrest of the sofa, pointing angrily at Lewis and Keira. "You poisonous woman, it's bad enough that you haven't born any children in two years after your marriage, but to go as far as harming my great-grandson is utterly unforgivable! And you, Lewis, you must give your nephew an explanation for this incident!"
Lewis looked at him impassively and sneered, deliberately asking, "What kind of explanation?"
Nathan immediately replied, "You divorce this vile woman immediately, right now! And transfer five percent of the company's shares to Jake as compensation, then this matter will be settled!"
A glint of mockery flashed in Lewis's eyes, "What if the child that was lost wasn't Jake's?"
