254 Mrs. Horton?
Vehicles bustled around them.”
When Keira turned her head to look over, Howard had already grabbed her arm,
giving her a wary glance.
But Keira didn't speak; instead, she calmly looked at
Tom.
Seeing her determined attitude, Howard tried to please Tom with a smile. “You
must be Mr. Davis, right? Sorry, we came from Clance to pay our respects, and
the child wanted milk, but we had no hot water... The child's mother here... she
was looking to see if you had any water in the house...”
Keira didn't offer any further explanation, just quietly watching Tom.
To her surprise, Tom glanced at her only briefly before immediately saying, “The
Horton family has plenty of hot water. Shall I get someone to bring it over to
you?”
Keira frowned slightly.
What did Tom mean by that?
He didn’t recognize her?

Keira was full of confusion and was about to say something, but then she closed
her mouth.
At this moment, countless doubts surged up in her heart, making her exceedingly
cautious!
Upon further thought, the truth of her marriage had been suddenly revealed, and
out of the blue, she had gained a twin sister.
And soon after Keera met her, they both faced a deadly
threat!
This indicated that the “they” Keera spoke of, who wanted to kill them, had been
surveilling her all along.
Did Tom perceive something? Was that why he didn’t dare acknowledge her?
While she was lost in her thoughts, Howard, in fear, immediately gestured with
his hands, his posture very humble. “Please don't bother. I'll just go with you to
get
some!”
After saying that, he snatched the feeding bottle from Keira's hand, about to have
Keira wait in the car when a honking sound came from within the line of cars.
Howard turned around to see that the cars up front
254 Mrs. Horton?
had moved, but theirs was still stationary.
And the cars they were blocking were all expensive luxury cars. How could
Howard dare to delay?
Tom also frowned and asked. “Whose car is that?"
He immediately smiled at Tom in a placating manner. “Mine. It's mine. I'll go start
it right now...”
Tom said impatiently, “Then let your wife come with me to get the water!”
On hearing this, Howard glanced at Keira.
He was somewhat worried as he said, “Why don’t I have my mother accompany
her? She just got injured a couple of days ago...”
Howard's mother immediately came down from the passenger seat, smiled at
Tom in a fawning manner, and then grabbed Keira's arm. “Mr. Davis, let's go...”

why Tom didn’t recognize her, Howard's mother sneered. “What were you just
doing? You were trying to cozy up to Mr. Davis, and not even looking at the time!
Didn't Howard tell you on the way here? I heard Mr. Davis and Mrs. Horton are
very close, friends even. He's in pain right now, so why are you shamelessly
butting in?”
After speaking, Howard's mother released her arm and scoffed. “Howard said
you pretend to be aloof and dislike socializing, but it seems you're not averse to
mingling. You just haven't seen a real affluent family before, have you? When
you finally do, you still fawn over them.
“You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Have you seen what you
look like right now? You still have the nerve to approach people! At least wash
your face clean, won't you? Aren't you embarrassed?”
Disdainfully curling her lip, Howard's mother returned to the car with Keira.
On the contrary, Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
“Wash my face?”
<
254 Mrs. Horton?
Subconsciously, she pulled out her cell phone, using the black screen as a mirror
to take a quick look, and then froze on the spot.
No wonder Tom didn’t recognize her. Her face was
entirely purple, obviously coated with a thick layer of gentian violet, making her
face nearly
unrecognizable...
Only then did she remember, when she had escaped from the underwater boat,
floating debris had struck her body, and there were some cuts on her face, so the
solution was applied for disinfection.
Keira was dumbfounded.
Had she been overthinking things all this while, pondering so much, only for it to
come to this?

After getting in the car, she first mixed some formula
milk for Amy and handed it to her, then using the phone, wiped the solution off
her face.
The purple solution must have been applied by a nurse in the hospital two days
ago
Having been comatose for the past two days with no one to clean her face, it
took her a long while to wipe off, leaving some traces, but she could at least
make out her original appearance somewhat.
As she was doing this, Howard had already driven into the Horton estate.
