My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

202 Regret
Keira watched coldly as Isla walked away, and after a moment's thought, she
followed her.
She had never been a saint, and certainly not worried about Isla. She just wanted
to see how things would
end for her.
Seeing her heading toward the emergency room, Lewis immediately followed
and, after taking a few steps, turned back to Uncle Olsen and asked, “Do you
want
to come and see as well?”
Uncle Olsen's gaze deepened, and he glanced a few times in the direction of the
ward.
After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “No, I'll wait here for you to come
back.”
He had just messed up, troubling Mrs. Olsen's real daughter for the sake of Isla,
and owed her an apology.
Lewis nodded and, without further attention to him,
chased after Keira toward the ward.
Uncle Olsen glanced at Ellis.

Ellis immediately understood and made an “OK”
gesture with his hand. “Got it, I'll follow. Don’t worry, I won't let Mrs. Olsen's real
daughter be bullied!”
As Keira arrived in front of the emergency room, she saw a few journalists hiding
in a corner waiting for the outcome and the follow-up, along with Poppy and
Holly.
Just as she was wondering where the members of the Horton family were, she
heard the sound of a slap coming from the staircase nearby.
Aloud “smack” rang out distinctly.
Keira paused just a step, then took two steps back and through the glass window
saw Oliver, Melissa, and Jake
there.
Nathan must have realized something was wrong an left immediately to avoid
further embarrassment.
Oliver was beside himself with anger, not satisfied wit slapping Jake once, he
raised his hand to hit him again but was stopped by Melissa. “Why are you hitting
him? It was Isla’s fault!”

Oliver
sneered. “I said from the start, I didn’t agree to this marriage! Isla had a
scheming mind, and you insisted on having Jake marry her. Look what's
happened now!”
Melissa wailed. “Yes, I disagreed at first too, but when Mrs. Olsen mentioned her
connections in Clance, didn’t you agree as well? Without your consent, how
could Jake have married her?!”
Oliver glared at her, “If I had known she was the illegitimate daughter, I would
have never agreed! In the end, it's you and Jake who can't judge people's
character!”
Melissa wiped her tears. “No one wanted this to happen. Isla’s intentions were so
deep. Not to mention Jake and I, didn’t you fail to see through her too? Why do
you only blame us when something goes wrong?”
Oliver scoffed. “Who else should I blame if not you? You've completely humiliated
the first branch of the family! Before, when we learned Lewis's wife was Keira, I
was quite relieved, thinking that our branch had finally one-upped him! Jake, this
useless son of mine, had finally done me a great favor. He married Miss Olsen

family’s illegitimate daughter, and who would have thought it would turn out like
this!”
He patted his own face angrily. “You've lost all my face!”
Melissa immediately grasped his hand. “Oliver, don't say that. Jake will surely
help you turn things around. Don't be angry...”
n
Oliver, however, yanked his hand away and looked directly at Jake. “Him? A
waste will always be a waste, and he has shown no progress through the years!
He can't even begin to compare to his sister!”
Leaving that remark behind, Oliver turned and went downstairs.
His heartless manner left Melissa covering her face as she started weeping, then
began to slap Jake. “You finally had a chance to stand out, letting your dad come
home and sleep tonight, and now, he certainly won’t come back! Jake, why are
you so unlucky? You never able to satisfy him no matter what you do..."
Jake's eyes were bloodshot, his head hanging low, like child who had done
something wrong.
He stared blankly at Melissa

Melissa cried out, “You must work hard! You must surpass that illegitimate
daughter! You can't let your father look down on us! No, it seems like that
illegitimate bitch is about to return soon. No wonder

your father keeps talking about your sister! Jake, if she comes back, what will I
do?!”
Melissa was so anxious that she was running in circles, making Jake's eyes turn
a deeper red.
He grabbed Melissa's hand. “Mom, don't be afraid... Even if she comes back,
she won't be able to stir up any trouble. She's just a girl, and sooner or later,
she'll be married off. I'm my father’s only son!”
Upon hearing this, Melissa finally calmed down. “That's right, that's right. As long
as we prepare a generous dowry for that illegitimate daughter and marry her off,
you'll still be your father’s only son... I'm going home now. I must secure my
place and absolutely cannot that illegitimate daughter enter our home!”
After that, she tugged on Jake's hand. “Let's go, we're going home!”
Jake took a few steps with her but then stopped, his gaze conflicted as he looked
toward the emergency

Regardless of everything, Isla was still his wife...
“Jake? What are you doing? You haven't given up on that wretched Isla, have
you? Let me tell
Horton family doesn’t need that kind of a daughter-in-law!”
Melissa barked angrily.

Jake lowered his gaze, “Mom, I just want to wait until her surgery is over...”
Isla was in critical condition, and he was her legal guardian.
After pondering for a moment, Melissa sneered. “Fine. Then you stay here. I'll
have someone send over the divorce agreement. If she survives and comes out
of the operating room, you make her sign it. If she dies, it'll all be for the best!”
Leaving behind such heartless words, Melissa strode
away.
Jake stood there alone, his fists clenched. He then opened the door in the
hallway, and the moment the door opened, he saw Keira.

He was slightly taken aback, his mouth opening as if he wanted to say something
but couldn't find the words...
He hesitated for a long time before finally saying in a slow drawl, “I'm sorry, I...”
Before he could finish, Keira walked past him without a glance, heading straight
for the door of the operating
room.
Jake stared dully at her from behind, and a surge of regret and frustration
suddenly filled his chest, packing it tight.
