31 Her Contributions
After the white tablet entered her mouth, it immediately emitted a refreshing, cool sensation.
Her itching throat seemed to be wrapped in fresh water, and it felt much better.
Mrs. Olsen swallowed the tablet without drinking
water.
“Cough….”
She started coughing again.
She smiled bitterly. Just now for a fleeting moment, she almost thought the tablet was working.
What a wishful thinking.
Mrs. Olsen lay in bed and closed her eyes.
She has been dealing with chronic neurotic coughing for over two decades. She had taken numerous medicines and consulted so many experts over the years, but it hadn’t gotten any better…

“Shirley? Shirley! Wake up!”
Mrs. Olsen slowly opened her eyes and saw Taylor standing next to her bed, the entire room bright as day.
Were the hospital’s incandescent lights so bright?
Feeling a bit confused, she asked, “What time is it?”
ga
“Ten in the morning!” Taylor looked at her anxiously. “You should eat something or else your blood sugar will drop…”
Mrs. Olsen was stunned.
She turned her head in confusion. Only then did she notice that the light in the room wasn’t coming from the lamps but from the sunlight!
She actually slept through the whole night!
How could that be possible?
It must be that bottle of medicine! The one Keira ga her!
Aunt South, who was next to her, was so excited that she had tears in her eyes. “Madam, the sleeping pills

the doctor gave you yesterday really worked! You áctually slept for a full ten hours!”
Mrs. Olsen was astounded. “What sleeping pills?”
Aunt South looked toward Isla, “Mr. Jake got them for you. He heard that you were having trouble sleeping, so he specifically found a strong sleeping pill and added it to the medicine you were taking. We didn’t tell you because we were afraid that if you kept thinking about it, you would have even more trouble sleeping. We didn’t expect it to work this well!”
Mrs. Olsen hesitated.
Was that so?
But sleeping pills only aid sleep. When she wok p today, she clearly felt that her throat was muc clearer!
Her gaze fell on the pillow next to her, where the plastic bottle without a label was.
She would try it again tonight…
If she only took sleeping pills and not this medicine, she would then know which one actually worked.

Thinking this, Mrs. Olsen fell silent.
Meanwhile, Taylor looked toward Isla and spoke with relief. “My son-in-law is amazing. I heard that there was a major flu outbreak recently, and the inpatient department is full. They couldn’t find a vacant ward yesterday, and it was Jake who pulled a lot of strings to arrange this one. We are really grateful to him!”
Only then did Mrs. Olsen find out that the ward was also arranged by Jake. “He’s such a good kid.”
Seizing upon the moment, Isla said, “Mom, since Jake is so kind, you should help him too.”
Mrs. Olsen asked, “How can I help?”
Taylor thought of something and said, “Is there some difficulty Jake faces at work?”
Isla nodded, sighing, “His family wants Jake to manage the R&D department, but the researchers there are all senior and not very obedient to Jake. If we could invite Dr. South there, even just as an external technical support, then Jake could stabilize his position.”
Having said that, Isla looked toward Mrs. Olsen.

As she expected, she saw a struggle and hesitation on Mrs. Olsen’s face.
Mrs. Olsen has her own principles in dealing with people and matters. She didn’t like to exploit kindness to seek benefits, but she was even more afraid of owing favors.
Mrs. Olsen hesitated a moment, then finally said, “I’ll ask Dr. South, but if he doesn’t agree, then let it be.”
A smile spread across Isla’s face. “Great.”
Based on her experience, whenever Mrs. Olsen asked for something, Dr. South never refused.
Mrs. Olsen took out her phone, found Dr. South on WhatsApp, carefully chose her words, and sent message. “South, do you have a minute? I have
to ask.”
When Keira received this message, she had just brought old Mrs. Horton back up from a walk.
She read the message with a frown.
Why did Mrs. Olsen suddenly contact her? Was there
an issue?

Was there something wrong with yesterday’s drug? Or did it have an allergic reaction?
That drug was actually still in the clinical trial stage, and she had originally planned to wait for the trial to end before giving it to Mrs. Olsen. However, seeing Mrs. Olsen’s severe condition, she took it out in
advance.
Anxious, Keira asked the nursing staff to bring old Mrs. Horton back to her ward and headed for Mrs. Olsen’s
ward in a hurry.
Lewis, who was working in the outer office area, saw his grandmother walk in. He instinctively looked behind her but didn’t see that slender figure.
His eyes flickered. “Where’s Miss Olsen?”
Old Mrs. Horton replied, “She’s gone to see her
mother.”
Lewis raised an eyebrow, “Did something happen to
Mrs. Olsen?”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately became anxious. “My granddaughter-in-law indeed rushed over just now.

Keira ran into Mrs. Olsen’s ward, only to find the ward was filled with many people.
Not only was Jake there, but even Poppy was present.
Somebody must have said something because everyone was laughing. However, the merriment quickly died when she stepped into the room.
Keira stood at the doorway, feeling rather
unnecessary.
Mrs. Olsen seemed alright.
She lowered her head and was ready to leave.
Mrs. Olsen wanted to stop her, but seeing all the people in the room, she knew it was best for Keira to leave for now. They could meet alone when there was

Poppy, however, opened her mouth. “Hey, isn’t that Miss Olsen? Are we not good enough for you now that you’ve cozied up to old Mrs. Horton?”
Keira didn’t respond and turned to leave, but Poppy grabbed her,
“I heard you’re trying your best to please old Mrs. Horton, staying by her bedside all night and doing all sorts of unpleasant chores. Do you think she’ll consider you as close as their own kin? What kind of daydream are you having? You’re nothing but a plaything to them!”
Isla hastily said, “Don’t say that. Old Mrs. Horton really
likes Keira…”
Poppy interrupted her loudly, “Likes her? Look at what Mr. Jake does for you. That’s what people do for someone they like…”
Poppy turned toward Jake Horton, flattering him. “I heard that yesterday they couldn’t free up any ward at all. There are many families with decent background

who want to get into the hospital, but all of them have to wait in line. It was Mr. Jake who helped us out! That’s how Mrs. Olsen got into the VIP ward!”
Jake Horton glanced at Keira and smiled humbly. “My uncles doesn’t know about this matter. He would have helped if he knew. I just did what little I could.”
“Your little contribution has been of great help to our
home!”
Poppy turned to Keira Olsen and mocked her again, “Even if Mr. Olsen knew, he wouldn’t care about you. No matter how hard you try to please him, he’s just toying with you like any Tom, Dick, or Harry…”
Keira clenched her fists but didn’t want to argue here to avoid disturbing Mrs. Olsen’s rest.
Lewis, who had just arrived, stood outside the ward and heard everything.
His face was stone cold, and he cast a glance at Tom.
Tom took the hint immediately. He cleared his throat and entered the room. “Mrs. Olsen, I’m here to convey Mr. Horton’s regards. How are you finding the ward? Is

The room instantly fell silent.
Everyone simultaneously turned to look at Tom, then at Jake.
Jake looked dumbfounded.
Was this ward arranged by his uncle?
Poppy was also stunned, but quickly regained her composure and laughed, “Mr. Jake, I didn’t know you asked Mr. Horton to give us this room…”
Jake’s expression froze.
However, Tom smiled. “Miss Olsen asked Mr. Horton for this room. Mr. Jake, did you also go to Mr. Horton?”
Jake felt like crawling into a hole in embarrassment!
He stuttered, “I made a lot of calls at that time and asked several people for help. They said they would help… It was a misunderstanding.”

The strange atmosphere was finally broken by Mrs.
Olsen, who coughed a few times and said to Tom, “Please thank Mr. Horton for me. We’re very comfortable here. Once I get better, I’ll visit Old Mrs.
Horton.”
Tom said, “As long as you’re comfortable here, Miss Olsen won’t be worried, and Old Mrs. Horton will be
happy.”
All the businessmen could infer the implied favoritism
toward Keira.
This realization made everyone in the room feel
slightly uneasy.
They didn’t expect Old Mrs. Horton to favor Keira so
much.
Only Mrs. Olsen was genuinely happy.
With Keira living alone outside, she had always been anxious. But since their relationship was rather
delicate, she couldn’t appear to be too close to Keira. Now that Old Mrs. Horton sincerely cared for Keira, Mrs. Olsen could finally relax!
Keira was slightly surprised.

She hadn’t expected it was Lewis who had helped.
She looked at Poppy, a hint of mockery playing on her lips.
Infuriated by her expression, Poppy fumed. “Little brat, what are you proud of? Just because you have a patron doesn’t make you any better!”
“Shut up!” Taylor said angrily. “My wife needs to rest. What are you blabbering about? Get your ass back
home!”
Poppy stopped talking and seemed a little hurt. “Taylor, I…”
“Leave!”
Poppy’s face flushed red. She glared resentfully at Keira before hurriedly exiting the room.
After she left, Keira turned to Mrs. Olsen. “Ma’am, how
did you sleep last night?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Olsen unconsciously gripped
the small medicine bottle hidden under the blanket
and said slowly, “I slept very well. It has been a long time since I’ve slept this comfortably.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”

Keira didn’t explain much but only nodded. “I’ll let you
rest.”
“Alright.”
As Keira and Tom left the room, they saw Lewis standing in the hallway.
He was in a suit and tie, which accentuated his long legs, making him look both gentlemanly and unapproachable.
He leaned against the wall and was looking down at his phone. His black hair partially covered his sharp eyebrows and eyes. His side profile, illuminated by the light, appeared defined and cold.
Upon hearing them, he turned to look. His narrow eyes brimmed with icy depth. He said, “Grandmother insisted that I come to check up on you.”
Despite his indifferent tone, his deep voice warmed
Keira Olsen’s heart.
She smiled sincerely. “Thank you.”
Her amorous eyes were clear and dazzling, filled with innocence and an unintentional charm.
The smile on her lins was even more breathtaking.

momentarily dazzling Lewis.
At this time, Jake’s voice came from inside.
“Auntie, since you’re okay, I’ll let you rest.”
“Sure. Isla, see Jake out.”
The door opened, and Jake and Isla came out.
They instantly noticed Lewis and Keira.
Isla felt as if an enemy was approaching. Her gaze darted between the two as if trying to figure out their relationship.
Jake’s face darkened too. He subconsciously asked, “Uncle, what are you doing here?”
Lewis said meaningfully, “I don’t think I need to report my whereabouts to you.”
Such an indifferent reply seemed to bring an invisible
pressure.
Jake’s palms immediately started to sweat. “That’s not
what I meant.”
He took a deep breath and looked at Keira.
The girl’s face had a kind of unabashed beauty.

Mr. Horton was also a good-looking man.
When the two stood together, they were like a match made in heaven!
A strong sense of jealousy overwhelmed Jake, and he couldn’t help but speak again, “Miss Olsen, you’ve been looking after my great-grandmother in the hospital all this time. Doesn’t your husband mind?”
Keira was taken aback.
She subconsciously glanced at Mr. Horton, and said with a smirk, “He probably doesn’t mind.”
Jake’s expression changed drastically.
Before he could say anything, Lewis suddenly spoke,
“Are you coming back to the ward? Grandma is waitin for you.”
Coming back…
Keira hesitated slightly.
It had been a long time since she had heard that expression.
Because she had no home to come back to.
Looking down, she smiled faintly. “Let’s go.”

The two left together.
Jake’s gaze was dark as he stared at Keira from behind.
For a moment, he felt an urge to take her back at all
costs!!
But Isla held his arm and said, “Jake, I’ll definitely help you get Dr. South’s assistance…”
Jake seemed to regain his senses. “Alright.”
“I’ll walk you downstairs.”
“Ok.”
After he left, Isla felt a deep sense of crisis.
When she returned to the ward, she saw Mrs. Olsen getting up and moving around. Her eyes flickered.
She walked to the bed and pretended to tidy up the bedspread, before exclaiming, “Mom, why is there a bottle of medicine on your bed?”
Taylor frowned. “Isn’t this the non-warranty medicine that Keira gave you? Shirley, why did you pick it up
again!”
Mrs. Olsen explained, “I took one last night, and it
seemed to work…”

“How is that possible? It was clearly the sleeping pill that worked!”
Taylor snatched the bottle and said dismissively, “Who knows where she got the medicine from? How can you just take it? Aren’t you afraid it’ll harm your health?”
Mrs. Olsen hurriedly said, “Don’t throw it away. I won’t take it tonight. I want to see which medicine works!”
Taylor said reluctantly. “Alright.”
Soon, it was night.
Aunt South held the sleeping pill in her hand, looking as if she was holding a magic panacea. After seeing Mrs. Olsen take it, she turned off the light and quietly
left the room.
The room quieted down.
Half an hour later, there was still no sound inside.
Aunt South said excitedly, “Mr. Jake’s medicine is a lifesaver for Mrs. Olsen! She hasn’t had a full night’s
sleep in over twenty years…
Isla pretended to be shy. “Don’t say that. The ward wasn’t arranged by Jake, and it was such a big
embarrassment today…”

Upon hearing this, Taylor said, “Compared to the ward, this medicine is the most important! Even if Shirley were in the presidential suite, she wouldn’t be able to sleep without it. Keira went out of her way to seek Mr. Davis’s help to show off and brag. What? Are we supposed to be grateful and indebted to her?” A
After that, he glanced in disgust at the bottle of medicine Keira had sent. “Aunt South, get rid of this stupid medicine. Don’t let Shirley take it again!”
As soon as he said those words, a suppressed, severe coughing sound came from the ward!

33 Keira Is Dr. South?
Taylor was slightly startled.
He exchanged a glance with Aunt South and immediately rushed into the ward.
One of the characteristics of a nervous cough was that it tended to get worse at night.
Aunt South switched on the light.
Everyone could see Mrs. Olsen sitting halfway up in bed, her hand covering her mouth, her face red from the effort of coughing.
She clutched her chest. Her frail body trembled violently with each cough. The sight was alarming.
Taylor steadied her by the shoulder. “Shirley, are you all right?”
But Mrs. Olsen said, “Medicine…” Then she coughed again.
Taylor was puzzled.
Aunt South, however, understood and immediately rushed out to bring in the medicine bottle given by

Keira. “Mrs. Olsen, the medicine is here!”.
Mrs. Olsen nodded, and as Aunt South anxiously opened the bottle and was about to hand her a tablet, her hand was stopped by Isla.
Isla frowned and said, “Mom’s cough suddenly
worsened. Could it have been caused by this medicine?
I think it’s better not to take medicine with an
unknown origin…”
Her intuition told her that the medicine might actually
work!
That’s why she couldn’t let Mrs. Olsen take it!
She looked at Taylor.
When someone is prejudiced against another,
everything the latter did seemed wrong.
Keira was the daughter of Poppy, and that was Taylor’s biggest prejudice against her!
As expected, Taylor said angrily, “Keira is always causing more harm than good! I’ve always said she’s
unreliable. Despite your kindness to her, Shirley, she tries to harm you with this medicine!”
Isla’s heart leaped in satisfaction.

Mrs. Olsen, however, seized a momentary relief from her cough and looked to Aunt South, “Give me the… medicine!”
Aunt South, ever so loyal, immediately handed the tablet to Mrs. Olsen, who promptly put it in her
mouth…
“Shirley!”
As Taylor yelled in alarm and tried to stop her, he realized Mrs. Olsen had stopped coughing!
She took a deep breath after her fit of coughing subsided, and then looked at them seriously. “It’s confirmed. It’s Keira’s medicine that worked.”
Π
When Mrs. Olsen’s coughing finally stopped and she fell asleep, the others all came out to the outer room
again.
Isla’s face was pale. She bit her lip and said, “Dad, is Keira really so capable that she actually managed to buy an effective medicine?”
“What capability does she have? It must have been Mr. Horton who helped her buy it.”

responsible for the technical issues of the R&D department in the future!”
Someone asked, “Why is this announcement so
sudden?”
The manager said, “Vice President Horton successfully invited Dr. South to be our technical support in the R&D department. This is a big deal for the R&D department. Although Dr. South doesn’t work in the office, if any of you have any problems, you can ask Vice President Horton to communicate with him and solve the problem. Now, let’s have Vice President Horton say a few words.”
Jake stood up and spoke directly, “From now on, the research and development staff of the first and second teams have to listen to my commands. Mr. Riley, I

presume you won’t violate the company’s regulation?” Jalen, who had been working overtime all weekend at the company and had pulled two all-nighters, was wearing casual clothes with an air of irritation. He snorted coldly. “There’s another regulation at the company that doesn’t allow skipping ranks for reporting or assigning tasks. So, about my staff… you can only delegate tasks through me!”
Jake’s face darkened, “Mr. Riley, I see you don’t have enough energy to manage the staff of the first team. Have you solved your core problem yet? Although the R&D department is divided into teams, it’s also a whole. Your delays affect the progress of the entire project!”
Jalen abruptly stood up. “You also studied renewable energy, so you should know how difficult the research is. You make it sound like you can solve my core
problem!”
Jake spoke calmly, “I cannot solve it, but I have someone who can. Do you need me to ask Dr. South for help?”
Jalen scoffed. “I didn’t know you could be so kind.”
00:39

Jake’s eyes were filled with a cold light. “We’re all in the R&D department, so of course, I’ll show extra care. But I need one of your team’s technical staff to come over and assist me. How about that new intern? Deal?”
Jalen knew from the start that he was after Keira!
He said coldly, “No deal. I’ll do it myself slowly. Don’t bother asking Dr. South for me!”
Jake said gloomily, “Mr. Riley, don’t think that hiding behind my uncle can help you do as you please here! You’re responsible for delaying the entire R&D department’s progress! I’ll give you two more days. If you don’t solve that problem, I’m going to request your dismissal or demotion!”
Jalen walked out. “Then let’s see if you’re capable of
that!”
He was arrogant in the office, but once he stepped outside, Jalen lost his composure.
He knew even if Lewis wanted to protect him, if Jake really put forward a request, it would be troublesome!
Jalen entered the first team section of the R&D
department and kicked a chair angrily.

Luca was late for work. He quietly went to his
workstation, afraid of causing trouble with his agitated team leader.
He turned on his computer, opened his inbox, and saw
an unread email.
Huh?

Seriously?
Even Jalen, a Ph.D. who returned to the country after studying abroad, couldn’t solve such a core issue immediately!
Keira was only an undergraduate. Even if Professor Miller praised her talent, could she solve it no matter how well she defied expectations?
Luca thought those things as he clicked the mouse. He opened that email, and then, he blinked!!
“Bang!”
Jalen slammed the documents he held onto the table
and raised his chin slightly. “Meeting time!”
Luca didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he was staring at that email.
“Luca! Is your butt glued to the chair?!”
Jalen was in a bad mood, and seeing Luca moving slowly, he shouted angrily.
Luca glanced at the content of the email, saw that it

was a blank file, and immediately stood up. “Coming.
I’m coming…”
Keira failed to solve the problem, and she had probably sent this email by mistake.
When he left his computer, the attachment that had
just finished buffering in the email was lying quietly in
the interface…
In the office.
Jalen frowned and briefly explained the situation at the just concluded meeting. He didn’t mention Keira and just said, “In two days, if this core issue cannot be solved, I’ll resign.”
The moment these words came out, the office became quiet.
Jalen did have a temper and often scolded them, but he was a qualified team leader, and they all respected him.
After a while of silence, everyone started talking.
“Jalen, just tell us what to do”
“Yes, for the next two days, we won’t sleep. Let’s do our best!”

Jalen delegated work, increasing each employee’s workload several times, yet nobody complained.
It was only after the meeting that Jalen felt like he had forgotten something…
He suddenly turned to Luca. “Where’s Keira?”
How come she wasn’t at work yet?
Luca shook his head, but another person said, “She
came in in the morning, clocked in, and then went to the library.”
The complexion on Jalen’s face instantly turned gloomy!
He was struggling against Jake for her, but that wom had gone out again?!
Someone couldn’t help saying, “Jalen, she’s too ungrateful. If she worked with us on this project, she would gain so much work experience!”
Luca didn’t agree with Keira’s approach but still spoke for her. “She just graduated from college. She doesn’t understand these things… Besides, our stuff is too complicated for her. She probably won’t understand…”
“We’re a team. Even if she doesn’t understand she

should still stay and help at this key moment, right? Is she taking a salary and not working? Who does that!”
“That’s right. What’s wrong with this girl? Is our team beginning to keep loafers?”
Jalen took a deep breath, feeling that Keira was ungrateful!
On the roof.
Tom had been keeping an eye on the situation below and knew more about it than Group One. He was complaining to Lewis.
“Jalen is working frantically for her while she is leisurely reading in the library all morning… She is a
real femme fatale!”
Lewis frowned, his cool scrutinizing eyes glancing at Tom. “Reading all morning?”
“Yes, she clocked in and went there. She hasn’t even had lunch yet!”
“What book?”
“I didn’t pay attention to that. I assume it’s a paper on

new energy?”
“…You assume?”
The clear displeasure in Lewis’s voice gave Tom a chill, but he suddenly realized something. “She’s been targeting the library since she started working, so her purpose in joining Horton Group is to search for information?”
What book she was reading became hugely important!
Tom bowed his head, “I’ll find out now!”
But Lewis had already stood up. He was buttoning his blazer as he walked briskly out, only leaving a word
behind. “Don’t bother.”
He quickly arrived at the library and found her among the books in the neurology category.
She was looking up, her eyes swiftly sweeping across a row of books, then coming to rest at the highest level
of the shelf.
She then saw something. She dragged over a ladder, climbed up, and reached for the book.
She was wearing a loose hooded sweatshirt today, along with skinny jeans.

Her movement raised the lower hem of her sweatshirt, revealing her leg.
From Lewis’s perspective, her legs were slender and straight, and her jeans wrapped around the pretty curves of her derriere, above which was her fair waist!!
Lewis paused and slowly looked away. Her fair waist seemed to be imprinted on his brain and sparked a thought in his mind. “Her waist is so thin that I can wrap my hand around it.”
Keira didn’t notice him. After getting the book, she casually flipped through it, and her eyes suddenly lit
The book she wanted to find was this one!
Overjoyed, she momentarily forgot she was still on the ladder and stepped forward as if she wanted to go to the seat next to her, but her foot missed the step, and
she lost her balance!
Now she was in trouble.
Just as Keira thought of this, she fell into the warm and strong arms of someone…
It was only then she realized that Lewis caught her.

The two were very close, and she could smell his
vanilla fragrance. His large hand was holding her butt, and the burning heat from his palm went through her
thin jeans…
Keira’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt so embarrassed!
But she understood that he didn’t mean to do that. It was just a coincidence.
Keira hastily jumped down, calming herself down. “Mr. Horton, thank you.”
She blushed a little.
Lewis paused, subconsciously looking at his empty
hand.
She was so light and soft… The touch just now made him suddenly feel a bit parched, He had been running the business for years, but for the first time, he felt a
little at a loss.
He lowered his gaze, his eyelashes slightly trembling. He controlled himself and said, “You’re welcome.”
There was a moment of awkward silence.
Keira cleared her throat. “I ijst remembered I had
7/9
something to do in the R&D department. I need to go back.”
“…Okay.”
With Lewis’s permission, Keira quickly hid the book she just found in a corner out of sight, worried someone else might borrow it, then left the library.
By the time she reached the elevator, her face was still burning a little.
Keira casually grabbed something to eat and returned to Group On in the research department.
As soon as she entered, she noticed something was wrong right away.
The colleagues who were originally quite friendly toward her now seemed like they didn’t see her…
Kira didn’t understand and just thought everyone was not familiar with her.
In the afternoon, she went to the library again.
But she was stopped by Luca, who said in a low voice, “Don’t go in the afternoon…”

“Why
Kira was puzzled: “Didn’t they say that as long as my own work is done, I can go?”
Luca immediately looked around and indeed saw the odd looks from his colleagues.
He too started to become impatient and said bitterly, “Yes, once the work is done, you can go, but have you finished the work I assigned you last week?”
“Yes, it’s done!”
“I know it’s difficult and you can’t solve it overnight, so you need to stay here and…. wait, what?!”
