My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

87 Lies
Keira felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, but it was bearable.
She grabbed Holly's wrist and said, “I need to go to the bathroom.”
“I'll give you a hand.”
Holly supported Keira’s arm and guided her to the bathroom, quietly waiting
outside.
However, she couldnt help but feel worried.
She noticed how pale Keira’s face looked and her cold sweat. Could she really
be anemic?
Meanwhile, in the visitation room at the detention
center.
Poppy came over with a smile on her face and flattered her daughter. “Isla, how
come you have time to see
me?”
After saying that, she added, “You shouldn't have come This isn’t a good place. It
could bring bad luck.”

Despite her avid enthusiasm, she only received a faint smile from Isla, followed
by a hesitating gesture.
Poppy immediately expressed her concern. “What's wrong? You look so dreadful.
Did something happen?”
Her face darkened. “Is it Keira again? Did she disrespect you again?”
Isla gave a bitter smile. “Yes, it's about Keira, but she hasn't been disrespectful
She has gotten into trouble.”
“Oh, that's nothing,” Poppy scoffed. “With her devil-may-care disposition, it’s only
a matter of time she gets herself into trouble. Who did she offend this time? Did
she get a lesson?”
A smirk of delight came over her face at the thoug
Kiera's misfortune.
Isla was choked and found Poppy more and more
foolish.
She had always been like this, wearing everything on her sleeve, completely
oblivious to the need to conceal
her emotions.
Isla couldn't figure out how on earth Poppy had managed to swap her place with
Keira. It had to be by
x

some astounding stroke of luck.
Isla cast her eyes down after a brief flicker in them. “It's not that she offended
someone. She... she committed murder and is now in police custody.”
“What great news!” Poppy immediately brightened up. “Will that reprobate be
sentenced to death? She won't bother you anymore!”
Isla was speechless.
She glanced at Poppy with sympathy, then coughed slightly. “She killed Finley
Hill.”
“Why should I care who she... Who?! Isla, who did you say? Finley? Did I hear
you wrong?!”
Poppy lunged at the table, her emotional state drastically heightened.
She only had one brother. Even though he used to mess things around, Poppy
loved him dearly.
Isla sighed. “Actually, you can’t really blame Keira. I heard that Finley demanded
five million from her. When she refused, during the tug of war, Finley accidentally
fell onto a steel bar and was pierced through the chest... He died on the spot.
Aunt Hill,
87 Lies
please don't get over-excited. Keira is, after all, Dr. South and your daughter. She
should indeed be very rich, but five million is still no small sum. It's only normal
for her to not want to give it.”
Nonetheless, Poppy’s eyes bulged out, her eyeballs bloodshot. She stood up
abruptly. “That ungrateful creature! She killed Finley over five million?! I shouldn't
have raised her up, I should have drowned her as soon as she was born! Where
is she? I am gonna kill her! I'll take revenge for Finley!!
Her excessive emotional reaction prompted an immediate warning from a nearby
police officer.
After a while, Poppy calmed down a bit, but the fun her eyes showed no sign of
abating.
Isla said, “Aunt Hill, the two involved are both your close relatives. I think you
have the right to know, s told you. Please don’t do anything rash.”
Poppy appeared dazed, tears streaming down from he reddened eyes. She
reassured Isla. “Don’t worry, Isla, I'm fine... I'm fine...”
Only then did Isla speak, “Alright, you should go back. I...I'll go and see Keira...”

“Wh
bother visiting her? A death-row inmate! I can’t wait to see her executed!” Poppy
uttered venomously.
Isla stared at her in disbelief. “Aunt Hill, Keira is charged with manslaughter. The
maximum sentence is ten years...”
“How could that be?! That's letting her off too easily!”
Seeing how Poppy completely missed the point of her statement, Isla sighed.
“Aunt Hill, Keira didn’t do it on purpose, and she must be scared as well. If you
happen to see her in the detention center, remember to
comfort her.”
Poppy finally processed what she had heard.
“She's also held here?!”
Isla nodded. “Yes, she hasn't been sentenced yet, so she’s temporarily detained
in a single room. It should be close to where you are, right?”
The multi-bed wards and single rooms were all in one
place.
Poppy narrowed her eyes, revealing a ferocious look.
“That's good.”

Isla stood up. “Aunt Hill, it's about time. I need to go.”
Poppy was reluctant to see her leave. ” Isla, you should marry Jake and settle
down with the Horton family happily. Take care of yourself, and don’t concern
yourself with me...”
But Isla had already left the visiting room, completely disregarding her words.
She left the visiting room and was preparing to leave the police station when she
saw her old classmate Holly anxiously standing near the restroom door.
A policewoman nearby asked, “Dr. Sims, the lawyer of the suspect, Keira, came
early in the morning again, asking about our decision on her pre-trial releas to
medical reasons. Judging by the suspect's look now, she seems to be really
anemic. So, is it appro
or not?”
Holly frowned upon hearing this.
She anxiously looked into the restroom and remembered Keira's frailty. She was
about to say “Il agree” when Captain Lincoln walked over.
Captain Lincoln had also heard the conversation, so h
frowned at once “Alrandy protonding to he i112”

Holly retorted. “She’s not pretending.”
Captain Lincoln snorted coldly. “Dr. Sims, have you forgotten how she fooled you
yesterday? You believe this? I remember you made an oath last night that if she
gets a pre-trial release, you would quit the police force. You didn’t forget that, did
you?”
Holly clenched her jaw. “Captain Lincoln, she really isn’t feeling well...”
But Captain Lincoln wasn’t convinced. “Very
interesting. She’s been detained for just one day, and she’s already not feeling
well. The delicate little miss can’t take a bit of suffering huh...”
As Holly was about to reply, Isla stepped forward “Hello, are you discussing my
sister Keira?”
They all looked at her.
Holly frowned slightly. “What are you doing here?”
Isla looked somewhat anxious as she pulled Holly aside, “Dr. Sims, about my
sister's health...”
Holly immediately took on a serious expression. She knew that Isla was Keira’s
sister. In middle school, aft Isla found out about their real identity, she
12.13
started to behave smarter and stopped bullying Keira in school.
Hence, Holly wasn’t aware of the bad relationship
between the two sisters. She moved aside with Isla and asked with concern,
“What's wrong with Keira?”
Isla sighed. “She probably got her period. Every month during this time, she
suffers, and it's natural for
women. You understand.”
Holly immediately relaxed.
As long as Keira wasn't ill.
Right afterward, Isla grabbed her hand. “Holly, we were classmates back in
middle school. Can you help Kei? Agree to her pretrial release, will you?”
Holly's face suddenly darkened.

policewoman waiting for her. As

Keira’s legs seemed weak as she was hurried back the single-person cell.
The moment she entered, everything before her eye turned black as she
collapsed...
Upstairs, Holly was getting more and more frustrated.
But she still couldn’t get over the image of Keira’s pale bloodless face from her
mind...

Unable to suppress her kindness, she poured a cup of
honey water from her flask and walked to the
detention center.
