Chapter 214  Uncle Olsen Visits

After his eyes swept over several individuals, they finally settled on Keira with a slight startle.

He had been fortunate to see Nora once before, although it was only a profile.

And the person in front of him bore a resemblance to Nora.

Keira also looked toward the person from the research institute, frowning slightly.

The Dean of the Clance Research Institute was named Corey Mills, whom she had always known and who was the one to bring her medication, but why was this unfamiliar Mr. Lee the one who had walked in?

As she was pondering this, Selena had already begun to introduce him. "Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, this is the Mr. Lee I mentioned. He\'s the cousin of my boyfriend and currently works at the institute."

After that, she smiled at Keira. "Aunt Keira, you mentioned before that you\'ve submitted Grandma\'s case to the research institute, but they\'re very strict with their selection and don\'t allow pulling strings. Truly, that\'s the case. Just now, Mr. Lee was telling me how the Clance Olsens, one of the five major families of Crera, suddenly asked for slots from their Dean. Fearing a conflict of interest, Dean Mills got so frightened that he rushed to Oceanion overnight, so this time the trial drug slots are indeed difficult to come by!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lee quietly let out a sigh of relief.

If Nora wanted a slot, wouldn\'t she just need to say the word? Why would there be any need to submit a resume?

It seemed he had misunderstood...

Mr. Lee then said with a smile, "Mainly because the medication developed by Nora this time is quite expensive, so the headquarters only allocated Crera fifty slots, all of which are personally chosen by Nora. It\'s nearly impossible to get a slot through connections. If I hadn\'t been moved by Miss Horton\'s devotion to her family, I wouldn\'t have begged the Dean to give me a slot."

Selena quickly said, "I really can\'t thank you enough, Mr. Lee. I know how hard it is to obtain this slot; you\'ve really done our family a huge favor this time!"

Oliver and Nathan also promptly expressed their gratitude.

While everyone was exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Lee, Keira glanced at the case in his hand.

Then she sneered softly.

This drug is indeed the special medication that she had developed, even bearing the logo of their biotech company!

The Clance Research Institute was involved in underhanded dealings?

While they were still contemplating, Mr. Lee said, "The medication Nora developed this time is very effective, why don\'t we administer a dose to old Mrs. Horton and give it a try?"

So, everyone stepped aside, allowing Mr. Lee to approach the sickbed.

He took out a dose of the special medicine and slowly injected it into old Mrs. Horton\'s arm...

Old Mrs. Horton watched intently and, as she did, she began to feel drowsy. She yawned and fell asleep.

Mr. Lee explained, "Nora\'s medication has a sedative effect, which is designed to let patients recover their intelligence while asleep. There\'s no need to panic; old Mrs. Horton will wake up in an hour, and she\'ll be somewhat improved."

Immediately, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Selena said with a smile, "Mr. Lee, there are so many people in Great-grandma\'s room. I don\'t think that\'s advisable, right?"

Mr. Lee instantly got her hint and promptly said, "Right, the patient needs peace, so everyone, please go out. I need to stay here to monitor the patient\'s condition continuously. Just leave Miss Selena to assist me, and that\'ll be enough."

Upon hearing this, Keira narrowed her eyes. Were they planning to keep the old lady under their control again?

She immediately said, "Whatever data you need, I can help record it."

At this, Selena butted in, "Aunt Keira, how can you be so thoughtless? The institute\'s patient data is strictly confidential, and that involves its core technology. Only their own staff can record it. Aren\'t you making it difficult for Mr. Lee by saying this?"

Mr. Lee immediately laughed, his expression kind yet his words carrying a threat. "This time I\'m taking a risk to secure this slot for your family\'s matriarch. The data must be submitted. If Miss Keira isn\'t cooperative, perhaps the slot should be given to someone else?"

At these words, Nathan said angrily, "Keira, what are you interrupting for? Get out at once! Do you want to kill your great-grandmother?"

With a sinister tone, Oliver added. "Lewis, you\'ve always been the most filial to Great-grandma. Even though she has made a will stating that after her passing, all her company shares would go to you, surely you wouldn\'t do this on purpose?"

Keira frowned, about to speak, when her hand was taken by Lewis, who said indifferently, "Let\'s go out first."

He led Keira out the door first.

Nathan and Oliver then followed them out. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Following behind the couple, Oliver said smugly, "Lewis, I think you and your wife should move to the main hall, given that Mr. Lee is bound by a non-disclosure agreement. Dad, to avoid making Selena uncomfortable, I suggest everyone but Fiona moves out. Under Mr. Lee\'s permission, we can visit daily."

Nathan nodded. "I think that\'s what should be done."

Looking at Lewis, he considered how to persuade him.

Keira was about to retort, but unexpectedly, Lewis agreed outright. "Fine."

Keira was stunned at first but remained silent after some thought.

Lewis was always meticulous in his actions, so if he agreed to this, it meant he surely had a contingency plan.

Thinking about this, Keira followed Lewis out of the door without further comment.

Indeed, she saw Tom waiting for them outside.

As Keira approached, she looked straight at Lewis. "Spill it. What are you up to? Do you really trust them with Great-grandma?"

Meanwhile.

Outside the Horton estate.

A black luxury car was parked there with Uncle Olsen in the backseat. Ellis immediately hopped off the car and knocked on the large iron gate.

"Who is it?" shouted the Horton family guard.

Ellis smiled. "Tell Lewis that Uncle Olsen has come to visit!"
