Chapter 254



When Keira turned her head to look over, Howard had already grabbed her arm, giving her a wary glance.

But Keira didn\'t speak; instead, she calmly looked at Tom.

Seeing her determined attitude, Howard tried to please Tom with a smile. "You must be Mr. Davis, right? Sorry, we came from Clance to pay our respects, and the child wanted milk, but we had no hot water... The child\'s mother here... she was looking to see if you had any water in the house..."

Keira didn\'t offer any further explanation, just quietly watching Tom.

To her surprise, Tom glanced at her only briefly before immediately saying, "The Horton family has plenty of hot water. Shall I get someone to bring it over to you?"

Keira frowned slightly.

What did Tom mean by that?

He didn\'t recognize her?

Keira was full of confusion and was about to say something, but then she closed her mouth.

At this moment, countless doubts surged up in her heart, making her exceedingly cautious!

Upon further thought, the truth of her marriage had been suddenly revealed, and out of the blue, she had gained a twin sister.

And soon after Keera met her, they both faced a deadly threat!

This indicated that the "they" Keera spoke of, who wanted to kill them, had been surveilling her all along.

Did Tom perceive something? Was that why he didn\'t dare acknowledge her?

While she was lost in her thoughts, Howard, in fear, immediately gestured with his hands, his posture very humble. "Please don\'t bother. I\'ll just go with you to get some!"

After saying that, he snatched the feeding bottle from Keira\'s hand, about to have Keira wait in the car when a honking sound came from within the line of cars.

Howard turned around to see that the cars up front had moved, but theirs was still stationary.

And the cars they were blocking were all expensive luxury cars. How could Howard dare to delay?

Tom also frowned and asked, "Whose car is that?"

He immediately smiled at Tom in a placating manner. "Mine. It\'s mine. I\'ll go start it right now..."

Tom said impatiently, "Then let your wife come with me to get the water!"

On hearing this, Howard glanced at Keira.

He was somewhat worried as he said, "Why don\'t I have my mother accompany her? She just got injured a couple of days ago..."

Howard\'s mother immediately came down from the passenger seat, smiled at Tom in a fawning manner, and then grabbed Keira\'s arm. "Mr. Davis, let\'s go..."

Tom then took the two of them to the gatehouse.

The gatehouse had a water dispenser.

Once they arrived, Keira began to fill the bottle, and while Howard\'s mother wanted to ingratiate herself with Tom, his serious expression made her hesitate to speak.

As she busied herself looking around, Keira suddenly approached Tom and asked quietly, "What\'s the situation?"

At that question, she saw Tom frown in confusion, giving her a puzzled look, "What?"

Keira was perplexed.

She was momentarily taken aback and was about to say something else when Howard\'s mother came over promptly, seized her arm, and said in a cautious tone, "What are you doing? Don\'t speak nonsense!"

Grabbing Keira\'s hand, she said to Tom, "Mr. Davis, we really appreciate your help. We\'ll head back to the car now!"

Keira stared at Tom but saw him merely nod at them. His gaze then turned blank as he looked ahead, his face etched with deep pain.

Keira felt confused as she was dragged out of the security guard\'s lounge by Howard\'s mother, while still turning back to look at Tom.

Just as she was utterly confused and didn\'t understand why Tom didn\'t recognize her, Howard\'s mother sneered. "What were you just doing? You were trying to cozy up to Mr. Davis, and not even looking at the time! Didn\'t Howard tell you on the way here? I heard Mr. Davis and Mrs. Horton are very close, friends even. He\'s in pain right now, so why are you shamelessly butting in?"

After speaking, Howard\'s mother released her arm and scoffed. "Howard said you pretend to be aloof and dislike socializing, but it seems you\'re not averse to mingling. You just haven\'t seen a real affluent family before, have you? When you finally do, you still fawn over them.

"You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Have you seen what you look like right now? You still have the nerve to approach people! At least wash your face clean, won\'t you? Aren\'t you embarrassed?"

Disdainfully curling her lip, Howard\'s mother returned to the car with Keira.

On the contrary, Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

"Wash my face?"

Subconsciously, she pulled out her cell phone, using the black screen as a mirror to take a quick look, and then froze on the spot.

No wonder Tom didn\'t recognize her. Her face was entirely purple, obviously coated with a thick layer of gentian violet, making her face nearly unrecognizable…

Only then did she remember, when she had escaped from the underwater boat, floating debris had struck her body, and there were some cuts on her face, so the solution was applied for disinfection.

Keira was dumbfounded.

Had she been overthinking things all this while, pondering so much, only for it to come to this?

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"

After climbing into the car, Howard\'s mother impatiently yelled at Keira, and when she approached, Howard\'s mother tossed her a wet wipe, "Wipe that face of yours clean! Don\'t embarrass yourself here any longer!"

Keira didn\'t refuse.

After getting in the car, she first mixed some formula milk for Amy and handed it to her, then using the phone, wiped the solution off her face.

The purple solution must have been applied by a nurse in the hospital two days ago.

Having been comatose for the past two days with no one to clean her face, it took her a long while to wipe off, leaving some traces, but she could at least make out her original appearance somewhat.

As she was doing this, Howard had already driven into the Horton estate.

Security was directing them to park their car in the parking lot, and following Howard, Keira walked toward the main house where the funeral hall was set up…

The funeral hall was arranged inside the main house.

On both sides were clerks handling the matters related to funeral contributions.

Everyone queued to donate condolence money before going to the funeral hall to mourn…

Having been fed, Amy soon fell asleep, and Howard asked his mother to stay with her in the car without coming down. He and Keira approached the accountant\'s desk.

Handling the ledger for the Horton family was the household\'s butler.

The butler\'s eyes were also slightly red as he buried his head in the accounting, and Keira and Howard quickly queued up in front of him.

Howard was a bit nervous and coughed before saying to Keira, "Keera, you\'ve never seen this kind of thing before, right? Don\'t be nervous. Just say you\'re a classmate of Mrs. Horton\'s when it\'s our turn…"

He whispered instructions, and finally, it was their turn.

The butler asked, "May I know who you are?"

Howard immediately nudged Keira.

Keira gave him a glance and said softly, "Keera."

When the butler heard the name, he was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up. Seeing Keira, the butler became utterly bewildered, staring at Keira in disbelief, "You, you… Mrs. Horton?"
