Chapter 54: Return

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Keira sent Professor Miller home and then returned to the hospital.

She spent most of her time in the hospital with old Mrs. Horton in her ward.

Lewis was working in the outer office.

Tom stood beside him, quietly recounting the events at the university, and then whispered, “Miss Olsen's cold demeanor has caused a stir. They're criticizing her on the school's internal network.”

After that, he handed his cell phone to Lewis.

The incident had become a hot topic on the internal network of Oceanion

University, and everyone was discussing it.

“I don't get it. Why would Professor Miller defend such a loser?”

“She stole Dr. South's study! Of course, we should expel her! What's the point of keeping her?”

“She's just stirring up trouble!”

“I totally agree with you!”

There were those who cursed her regarding this incident, and there were also those who condemned her for other things.

“The theft hasn't been proven yet, and it's understandable that Professor Miller wants to protect her. I was at the scene at the time, and I respect Professor Miller's actions. But that doesn't stop me from hating a certain classmate. Professor Miller made a sacrifice for her, and she has no gratitude, even saying that the professor should go home and take a few days off. It's cold-blooded and ruthless as if Professor Miller's sacrifices were taken for granted.”

“I was also at the scene, and I feel this person is too thick-skinned. Those graduate students of Professor Miller are really unlucky to have the same tutor with her.”

The more Lewis read, the darker his expression became, and by the end, he looked gloomy. He tossed the phone back to Tom. “I just remembered a quote from Carlo Colodi. When the village dog barks, the rest of the dogs follow, even though they don't know why they're barking.”

Tom didn't know what to say

What a sharp tongue.

He was comparing those foolish and naive college students to dogs.

Tom subconsciously said, “If Miss Olsen sees these criticisms, she might feel hurt, right?”

As soon as he said this, Lewis hesitated and asked tentatively, “Do you think she would bother to read the university's internal network?”

Tom smirked. “Boss, Miss Olsen just graduated. At her age, who wouldn't check the school network for gossip?”

Lewis said indifferently, “I don't.”

Tom thought, “That's because you act like an old man, completely insulated from the internet!”

He cleared his throat. “Young people these days like to go online.”

Lewis raised his head upon hearing this and looked through the glass window on the door into the ward.

The weather was gradually getting colder. Keira wore a camel-colored shirt and was casually leaning back on the couch reading a book. Strands of loose hair fell onto her forehead. She tucked the strands behind her ear. Through the curtain of thick black hair, he could see a part of her slender, fair neck.

She was focused and serious.

The sunlight fell onto the floor by her feet, where the puppy was curled up, sound asleep.

The scene painted a picture of peace and tranquility.

After a while, Keira seemed to be getting a bit tired. She put down her book, stretched, and began to reach for her phone…

Lewis abruptly stood up and strode to the door in a few steps, opening it.

Both people in the room looked at him in unison.

Old Mrs. Horton adjusted her reading glasses and looked at him bemusedly. “Brat, what is it?”

Lewis pursed his lips and looked at Keira. “Miss Olsen, it's nice outside today. Would you like to take my grandmother out to get some sun?”

Keira glanced outside and nodded.

She gently nudged the puppy to wake it up, then helped old Mrs. Horton out the door.

Taking two out at once would save some time.

The three of them soon arrived at the hospital park, found a chair, and helped old Mrs. Horton to sit down.

Keira stared absentmindedly at the lake in the distance.

She was trying to digest the knowledge about neurology she had just read…

Suddenly, a low voice came into her ear. “Miss Olsen, do you often go online?”

Keira looked at Lewis, puzzled.

Lewis dressed in black today, and his custom-fitted clothes highlighted his cool demeanor and restrained elegance.

He wasn't looking at her, his expression aloof. It seemed like it was just idle small talk.

Keira gave a nonchalant answer. “I don't really like it.”

Lewis nodded.

Keira then turned to look at old Mrs. Horton.

After several days, she now knew Lewis better. He was a man of few words, so after that small talk, he probably wouldn't say anything more…

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard him speak again. “Nowadays, many people are restless. Under the anonymity of the internet, they like to vent their anger and dissatisfaction. The internet is like a lawless place, amplifying the evil in people's hearts. You don't have to take what's on the internet to heart.”

Keira was perplexed.

Just as she was wondering why he was suddenly saying these things, her phone vibrated.

She took a quick look. It was a WhatsApp message from Luca. “Keira, don't visit the university network for a while. A group of students are just echoing each other, and their words are too harsh!”

Keira was a little surprised.

She seemed to understand why Lewis was saying those things.

She put down her phone, a bright smile blooming on her face. “Mr. Horton, don't worry. The words on the internet can't hurt me.”

Lewis was a little embarrassed before returning to his usual self. “Well, I was only afraid it might affect my grandmother's mood.”

Keira laughed softly.

Her laughter made Lewis uncomfortable, so he stood up, his expression still calm. “I still have work to do. I'll leave my grandmother in your care.”

“Alright.”

Back in the ward, Lewis said, “Cancel the Monday morning meeting.”

Tom was surprised. “But that's when we have our multinational meeting… Okay, I'll cancel it right away.”

He gave Lewis a doubtful look.

Was Lewis planning to go to the Administrative Department on Monday to openly defend Keira?

He felt uneasy

After Lewis Horton took over the Horton Group, there were many who were dissatisfied. If he were to bend the rules for personal reasons…

Tom suddenly felt irritated.

Keira just joined the company a few days ago, and she had caused such a big problem for his boss!

Jake relied on Dr. South to gain a foothold in the R&D department.

Now she has crossed Dr. South…

She really was good at stirring up trouble for his boss!

If Lewis really intended to protect her this Monday, Tom decided that even if he would make Lewis angry, he would stop his boss! He couldn't let his boss make a mistake!

When Keira returned from her walk with the old lady, she found that Tom was looking at her strangely.

But she didn't pay much attention.

It was soon Monday.

After breakfast, as Keira was preparing to go to the Horton Group, her phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp message from Samuel Morgan.. “Boss, the plane landed on time! I'm about to go to the Horton Group!”
