My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire!

Chapter 723 Chapter 722



Keira nodded in understanding.

As they were talking, old Mrs. Horton suddenly wobbled to her feet. Everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to her.

With a smile, old Mrs. Horton said, "I\'m just going to the restroom."

Marisa immediately offered, "Let me help you…"

But before she could finish, old Mrs. Horton slumped against Marisa, who was unable to hold her up. Selena rushed over to assist, barely managing to keep old Mrs. Horton from falling.

Seeing this, Lewis and Keira\'s eyes widened with alarm. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The moment old Mrs. Horton had stood up, it had almost resulted in a fall, causing their hearts to race.

Both of them quickly moved to support her, but Oliver stepped in front of them, saying, "You don\'t need to worry about it. I\'ll take her."

He placed his hand on old Mrs. Horton\'s shoulder, saying, "Grandma, I\'ll take you."

Old Mrs. Horton pointed to the second floor. "I need to go up there."

Her main bedroom was on the second floor, so it was understandable that she wanted to go to a familiar place.

Oliver frowned. "There\'s a restroom on the first floor. Let\'s go there instead."

"I don\'t want to," old Mrs. Horton said, clearly displeased. "I want to go to the second floor."

Oliver\'s frown deepened. "It\'s not good for you to go upstairs…"

If they had to go to the second floor, he would have to carry her up.

But before he could say more, Lewis\'s voice interrupted, "If you don\'t want to carry Grandma upstairs, I\'ll do it."

Lewis stepped forward with determination, putting Oliver under immediate pressure.

Oliver quickly blocked Lewis. "You don\'t have to push yourself!"

Lewis replied, "I\'m not pushing myself."

"Grandma might be uncomfortable with a stranger helping her to the restroom, so I\'ll take her upstairs."

With a wary look, Oliver picked up old Mrs. Horton and began to climb the stairs.

Marisa and Selena hurried to follow.

Keira and Lewis exchanged glances before trailing behind.

Being older, Oliver was visibly winded by the time he reached the top, with old Mrs. Horton directing him towards her room. "In there, in there!"

Oliver sighed, preparing to hand her over to Marisa, but old Mrs. Horton turned to Lewis. "I feel like I know this young man… who is he?"

Oliver was horrified. He quickly ushered old Mrs. Horton into the room. "Grandma, you must be mistaken. There\'s nothing familiar about him. Just don\'t think about it; your memory isn\'t reliable!"

"Right," old Mrs. Horton said, her expression softening.

"Dear, you\'re so considerate, taking me to the restroom…"

"Of course, I\'ll take you!"

Oliver said as he entered the room.

Marisa and Selena exchanged glances, deciding not to follow.

Old Mrs. Horton had come upstairs for more than just a bathroom break; it was likely for something longer...

Just the thought of it was enough to make mother and daughter unwilling to assist.

Selena blocked the door. "Mom, let\'s stay outside and chat with Uncle and Aunt."

Marisa nodded in agreement. "Okay."

They looked at Keira and Lewis.

Selena asked pointedly, "Uncle, Grandma doesn\'t remember you, so don\'t be offended. Her memory isn\'t what it used to be."

Marisa added, "Lewis, Oliver often speaks highly of you. He says you were such a well-behaved child. It\'s strange that your relationship seems distant now."

Lewis chose to ignore them.

Keira said, "Did you two forget to brush your teeth this morning? Your breath is quite strong."

The comment left Marisa and Selena momentarily speechless.

Keira continued, "Maybe you should go downstairs and rinse your mouths or just talk less…"

Caught off guard, Marisa and Selena huffed but fell silent.

Keira turned to Lewis, who was frowning and staring intently at the bedroom door.

Keira thought he might be genuinely upset, so she murmured, "Grandma is probably making things difficult for Oliver like she did this morning when she insisted he clean up after her. Maybe she\'s trying to torment him in there…"

Lewis\'s frown deepened. "Keira, how much longer does Grandma have?"

Keira fell silent.

Old Mrs. Horton\'s health was deteriorating rapidly.

Time was running out…

It could be any moment now…

Though Keira said nothing, Lewis could see the concern on her face.

He looked at the door again and suddenly shouted, "Something\'s wrong! Something doesn\'t add up!"

Old Mrs. Horton\'s behavior today was all wrong!

Without another word, he rushed into the room!
