It’s You
Keira arrived at her room to find Howard’s mother waiting by the door.

She hastened her steps and frowned. “Is Amy asleep?”

“She’s asleep.”

Howard’s mother’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly took out Amy’s milk bottle. “Tonight, Amy refused to drink his milk. Taste it and see if it has soured or gone bad!”

Keira narrowed her eyes, sensing there was a problem.

She removed her mask, opened the bottle, and tilted her head back to drink without letting the bottle touch her lips, to prevent bacterial infection. After taking a sip, she carefully savored it. “It’s not spoiled.”

“Is that so?” Howard’s mother waved her hand. “Maybe she’s full and doesn’t want any more. If not, we might have to switch to another brand… Drink the rest yourself. Don’t waste it.”

Keira had gone to the Horton family early in the morning to attend a funeral and hadn’t gotten the chance to eat anything at noon, so she was very hungry now.

She asked with downcast eyes, “Has Mrs. Horton been buried?”

Howard’s mother said impatiently, “She’s been buried. Why are you asking so many questions? Do you really think you’re Mrs. Horton’s high school classmate? You’re really getting into character! Just drink the milk and stop dawdling!”

Keira’s eyes flickered, and she finished the milk in a few gulps, preparing to take it into her room to wash the bottle.

Before she could push the door open, Howard’s mother snatched the bottle away and said with a smile, “I’ll wash it. You’ve been tired all day. Go to bed!”

After saying that, she took the bottle back to her own room.

There definitely was a problem!

Howard’s mother was never usually so eager to help.

Had “they” come looking?

Because of anemia, Keira had a certain resistance to all medications.

She swiped the hotel card to open her door and stepped in.

As soon as she opened the door, Howard walked over. His usual disdain was gone, and he now looked at Keira with warmth. “You’re back.”

Keira furrowed her brows and before she could speak, Howard said, “It’s late. Go wash up and sleep… I won’t disturb you!”

He swiftly slipped past Keira and on his way out, he left only one sentence behind. “Amy is with me, so don’t worry. Just make sure you take good care of the man in the room!”

Keira had already sensed that something was amiss, and in that moment, she grabbed Howard’s arm, blocking his path.

She wanted to see what Howard was up to!

But as she turned around abruptly, she saw the familiar figure sitting on the couch and was utterly stunned!

Lewis!

Why was he here?!

In the brief moment she was taken aback, Howard had already wriggled free and left the room, followed by the click of the door lock.

Keira pulled at the door fiercely, but Howard was already outside, securing the door with a chain, making it impossible to open!

After doing all this, Howard clapped his hands.

Hearing Keira trying to push the door from inside, he immediately said, “Keera, make sure you treat Mr. Horton well, as he can bring immense profits to our company, got it?! No resistance allowed! Do you hear me?”

Howard’s expression was one of smug satisfaction!

Although he had met Uncle Olsen at the funeral, Howard’s subsequent messages were largely ignored by him.

So when he noticed how much Mrs. Horton resembled Keera at the funeral, he came up with this idea!

To send Keera to Mr. Horton’s bed, so that afterward he could establish a connection with the Horton family!

Howard’s mother appeared behind him. “Son, can we really do this?”

Howard sneered. “Mom, it’s just sex. Besides, Keera’s health is poor, and she hasn’t gotten pregnant again in the past few years. It’s impossible for her to bear me another son. I can only count on Cindy. Keera does have a nice face, and keeping her at home without use until now has finally paid off. I’m not afraid of living with the humiliation, so what are you worried about?”

Cindy was the mistress he had been keeping outside, and she was now pregnant. The doctor diagnosed it as a son. Howard’s mother had always cared deeply for holding her grandson!

Upon hearing these words, Howard’s mother slapped him on the back. “That’s not what I mean. I’m talking about how Keera is utterly devoted to you; what if she refuses? Wouldn’t it backfire?”

“Don’t worry…” Howard smiled confidently. “I’ve just drugged both of them. That drug is potent; most people can’t handle it…”

Howard’s mother asked, “Speaking of which, why do Keera and Mrs. Horton look so similar? When I saw Mrs. Horton’s picture, I got scared. You think… could they be twins?”

Howard stroked his chin. “Keera is an orphan, adopted by her parents. I guess that’s very likely the case. Mom, we really hit the jackpot coming to this funeral! Who would have thought we’d stumble upon such an opportunity!”

However, Howard’s mother frowned. “If Keera and Mrs. Horton are really twins, can’t we use that relationship to connect with Mr. Horton? Why then did you send her to Mr. Horton’s bed?”

Howard waved his hand, “What do you know? His wife is dead, and who keeps in touch with the wife’s family? Although Keera is useless, her face is undeniably beautiful. Send her to Mr. Horton, and he’ll develop a taste for her. There will definitely be ongoing contact. Besides, if we rely on Keera’s relationship with Mrs. Horton, won’t we have to be controlled by Keera? But if we have evidence of Keera’s infidelity, in the future, won’t I call the shots in this family?”

Howard’s mother’s eyes shone. “Son, you’re so clever!”

The two of them quietly discussed as they returned to their room.

Inside the room, Keira didn’t hear their voices, but she had already guessed Howard’s intentions. She couldn’t help but spit in disdain. “Keera, what kind of husband have you found for yourself?”

“Keira… it’s really you!”

Behind her, a man’s deep, husky voice mixed with disbelief reached her, causing Keira to stiffen instantly! The mask had been removed long ago, and it was now too late to put it back on… Lewis had already seen her face!

Keira clenched her fists and slowly turned around. As she looked at Lewis, her eyes were filled with longing! Her mother had been kidnapped… Her sister was dead! The home she had finally found had just fallen apart. At this moment, it seemed she had only Lewis left!

This thought made her soul suddenly crumble, and the heat inside her body didn’t want to be suppressed! She had been too restrained, and at this moment, she also wanted to properly let it all out! Forget about the old flame, forget about the savior. She wanted to put them all aside for now!

With this thought, Keira headed toward Lewis! She had just taken a step when her feet suddenly gave out, and she fell into Lewis’ arms…

Lewis had been drugged as well, and though his mind had still been clear, upon seeing her face and smelling the familiar scent on her, he lost his composure. He didn’t restrain his yearning and fiercely kissed her lips!
