Chapter 462
Keira sighed silently and then looked toward Lewis again.
Lewis watched her quietly. “Shall we leave first, or p>
Keira then said, “Let’s go to the hospital first p>
“Okay p>
Lewis drove past Ellis.
Ellis seemed not to have noticed them at all, his gaze fixed on the direction of the gate.
Through the rearview mirror, Keira watched him.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down, and a
sep
car passed by Ellis, she could him trembling slightly in the breeze.
She averted her gaze, afraid of feeling too heartbroken
for him.
Lewis said, “Actually, it’s not that he doesn’t trust Mary p>
He had barely started speaking when he paused briefly, then cautiously glanced at Keira before saying,

“You might not fully understand what azoospermia
means to a man p>
Keira asked, “What does it mean p>
“It’s a kind of humiliation, I guess. Men are very foolish. I remember that, in college, Ellis would come
over and
compete with me to see who could pee further in the bathroom p>
Keira was speechless.
That was incredibly childish!
Perhaps because she didn’t grow up in the best
environment, she matured early mentally and couldn’t
understand such behavior.
But now she was suddenly very curious, “Who peed
further p>
Lewis didn’t know what to say.
His mouth twitched slightly, then he said, “Girls shouldn’t concern themselves with these things p>
Then he smiled, arrogantly adding, “Of course, it was
me p>
Keira was speechless.

“If you’re not childish, what are you so proud of p>
She rolled her eyes, “And then p>
Lewis continued. “His personality is very flamboyant,- and he’s an exceptional man, He’s always been
an elite. figure in the circle, admired by people. Look at him. He didn’t get married until he was at this
age. It’s only because he’s afraid of his azoospermia becoming
exposed; that indicates his pride.
“He doesn’t want anyone to know about it, so he keeps all the Olsens in the dark. Everyone thinks he’s
just a player, which was why he refused to marry p>
After that, Lewis added, “For him, azoospermia is like devastating blow. But when Mary said she was
pregnant, Ellis was willing to go for another check-up and even to other hospitals. It was in itself a kind
of
humiliation p>
Keira frowned but didn’t argue.
Lewis continued. “Moreover, he did it three times p>
Lewis focused on the road ahead, driving carefully. “Each time was a humiliation for him, and he
experienced it three times.

“Keira, from Mary’s perspective, of course, he’s in the wrong, but what if you consider his perspective p>
“I know what kind of person you think Mary is and that she wouldn’t do anything rash, but the circles in
Clance are messy, and Mary’s reputation there is terrible. When I first came to Clance, the Davis family.
wanted to ally with the Horton family, but the information Tom gathered also pointed to Mary’s
controversial private life… Given her reputation, when she suddenly claimed to have Ellis’s child when
Ellis
believed he had azoospermia, it’s understandable that
he would doubt it p>
Keira pursed her lips, turning her head to look out th
car window.
Lewis carried on. “So, Ellis isn’t beyond redemption p>
Keira sighed deeply. “I understand what you’re saying. But who can truly empathize with Mary’s
sorrow? You’ve seen her circumstances; she’s helpless – her parents and uncle are not something she
can say no to, and her previous bad reputation isn’t truly reflective of who she is… but for whatever
reason, Ellis almost caused her to lose her child, inflicting substantial harm both physically and
psychologically.
And then p>
She said quietly, “Do you know what BFF means p>
Lewis shook his head.
Keira’s eyes seemed a little hollow. “I never had friends
as a child, so I never had a BFF. But when I put myself in my sister’s shoes, who grew up with Mary, I
believe she would side with Mary unconditionally p>
She looked at Lewis. “Being BFFs means unconditional forgiveness. So, I won’t speak any words in
favor of Ellis. As long as Mary doesn’t forgive him, neither will
I p>
Lewis nodded upon hearing this. “Understood p>
He didn’t speak further on Ellis’s behalf but changed the subject. “Regarding the Gill family, we can
confront them head-on today p>
“That’s what I think, too,” said Keira, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment. “Again and again, they
bully those siblings, kicking one when they’re down! With such scoundrels, I really can’t understand
why Lady Gill would continue to protect Jackson. Isn’t Lady Gill a person who can distinguish right from
wrong p>
“The answer is simple p>
Lewis said, “Lady Gill has to consider the Gill family’s reputation, so she won’t admit they are wrong
even though she knows Jackson is at fault p>
Keira sneered, “Is the reputation of the five great families of Clance that important? If so, our
cooperation with the Gill family seems only to have two possible solutions p>
“Which two p>
“Acquire the Gill family p>
Keira said decisively.
At those words, the corners of Lewis’s mouth curled
1. He was about to speak when Keira continued. “But that’s not very realistic. Be it the Olsen family
or my resources, even if we add the Horton family, we can’t swallow such a big bone like the Gill
family. So, we must resort to the second method p>
Lewis paused slightly.
Then he heard Keira say, “We’ll help the Gill family find their daughter! The big fuss the Gill family
made recently about looking for a piece of jade was about
searching for their lost daughter. So, as long as we know the whereabouts of that piece of jade, we can
help them find their daughter. Judging by the affection Lady Gill and Austin have for her, we can likely
resolve this issue that way p>
Keira took out her phone, opened the ad, and looked at the piece of jade while frowning. “Why do I feel
like I’ve seen this piece of jade before p>
