My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Finally, she made up her mind and said directly, "Actually, Grandma didn\'t forget you… My medicine really worked, she—"

"I know."

Lewis interrupted her, making Keira stop in surprise.

"You know?"

"Yeah." Lewis lowered his head and gave a bitter smile. "Did you forget? Grandma used to have Alzheimer\'s. Every time she had an episode, I was the only person she recognized. She always said she\'d never forget me."

Keira froze.

Lewis instinctively reached for a cigarette in his pocket, but after a moment\'s hesitation, he pulled his hand back. His gaze shifted to the window, looking out at the dark clouds gathering in the distance.

His voice was low as if it came from far away. "How could Grandma forget her favorite grandson? She even remembers Oliver… So, just like you said, she must\'ve pretended not to recognize me, knowing I couldn\'t handle her leaving. Maybe she thought that if I got used to the sadness now, I wouldn\'t be as devastated when she\'s really gone."

Keira\'s eyes welled up as she grasped Lewis\'s hand.

She hadn\'t realized how deep Grandma\'s love for Lewis was—and how much trust Lewis had in her love.

She looked at him. "So what do we do next?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"We play along."

Lewis lowered his eyes. "I can\'t let Grandma worry about me as she\'s leaving. Even now, she\'s still concerned about me. How can I let her down? Keira, starting tomorrow, let\'s try to be happy."

Keira swallowed hard but quickly nodded. "Okay."

Lewis held her hand.

That night, they slept holding each other.

But in the middle of the night, Keira was woken up by Lewis, who was tossing and turning. Half-asleep, he kept calling out "Grandma," then jolted awake.

He would rush downstairs, check on old Mrs. Horton in her room to feel her breathing, and only then return to bed, reassured.

Keira watched him, sighing silently.

Grandma didn\'t have much time left.

Her sudden collapse earlier that day was a sign.

The next morning, when Keira woke up, Lewis was still asleep. She didn\'t wake him but quietly got out of bed.

After he\'d woken up in the night and gone to check on Grandma, he hadn\'t been able to fall back asleep until almost dawn. He needed the rest.

Keira headed downstairs and saw that old Mrs. Horton was already up, being helped down by Fiona. Marisa and Selena were with her, making sure she was comfortable while she had breakfast.

Keira walked over, but before she could say anything, Marisa smiled at her. "Miss Olsen, the old lady would love to have a meal prepared by you for lunch. Would that be okay?"

Keira paused slightly at her words, then glanced at old Mrs. Horton.

She was smiling, though there was a sharp glint in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Horton probably didn\'t want Keira to feel pressured, so before she could speak, Keira nodded. "Of course. I\'ll have it ready by lunchtime."

Old Mrs. Horton had always loved her cooking. Now, with only a short time left, how could Keira not make sure she was well cared for?

It didn\'t matter if Marisa was trying to boss her around.

As long as Grandma was the one eating...

With that thought, Keira headed into the kitchen. As she walked in, she overheard Selena asking old Mrs. Horton, "Great-Grandma, do you know who she is?"

Mrs. Horton hesitated for a moment before answering, "No."

"She\'s the new housekeeper."

Selena\'s words made Keira smirk slightly.

If they wanted to treat her like a servant, they had no idea what was coming!

But right now, Keira wasn\'t interested in arguing with them. She entered the kitchen and found Fiona there, her eyes red. When she saw Keira, Fiona immediately said, "Miss Olsen, don\'t take it to heart. Mrs. Horton just doesn\'t recognize you anymore."

Keira patted her on the shoulder. "I\'m fine, and so is Lewis. Don\'t worry, Fiona."

Fiona\'s eyes filled with tears.

She didn\'t realize that old Mrs. Horton was pretending and was worried that Keira and Lewis would be heartbroken. That was why she\'d come to offer a few words of comfort.

Keira sighed quietly.

Just then, a commotion came from outside, followed by the startled voices of Marisa and Selena. Keira rushed out and saw old Mrs. Horton vomiting up the food she\'d just eaten, covering both women in the process.

After throwing up, old Mrs. Horton looked at Marisa and Selena. "Sorry, I couldn\'t help it."

Marisa and Selena both looked down at the mess on themselves with disgust, glaring at old Mrs. Horton. But at that moment, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Marisa took a deep breath. "We\'ll go change and be back later."
