My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ C.554

554 Chapter 553

Lewis immediately followed her in and saw a familiar face.

The person wearing a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses was looking at Keira in astonishment.

Lewis had seen that man during his time in Oceanion.

Once, Keira had been brought to the police station due to some misunderstandings and was taken to the hospital in a state of anemia.

In the hospital, it was this man, Matthew, who treated her.

Matthew said she suffered from iron-deficiency anemia, which could lead to dangerous shocks if she fainted from it.

But wasn't he a doctor in Oceanion? Why was he here?

And moreover, why had Keira come to this place?

At the moment, there was a patient in the room, and he was frowning and staring at Keira. "Who are you? What are you doing? You need to wait in line to see a doctor!"

Keira didn't even bother to explain, and Matthew said, "Sorry, I need to discuss some private matters with this young lady..."

The patient immediately became upset. "Why? Doctor, I've been patiently waiting here for you, and this is how you treat me? I'm going to report you to the hospital. I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a stack of money appeared in front of him.

The patient was slightly taken aback.

Lewis had already stepped forward, stuffing the money into the man's hand. "Could you please step out and wait for a bit?"

His tone was very polite, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

The patient clenched his mouth shut and exited the room with the money.

The room finally quieted down.

Lewis looked at Keira, then at Matthew, and went to close the door, only to discover that the door lock had been broken by Keira's kick.

Well...

That showed how irate Keira had been just now; she looked ready to kill someone.

Thinking this, Lewis leaned against the door, blocking the entrance.

Only then did he look at the other two people in the room.

Keira was staring at Matthew, who sighed and asked, "Keira, what brings you here?"

"Stop pretending; I know it was you; you're the one who's been sending me those messages."

Keira cut to the chase.

Matthew paused, his eyes downcast, and a flicker of darkness flashed in his eyes before he looked at her. "Why are you so sure?"

Lewis was also curious.

He wasn't familiar with Matthew and had only met the man during his time in Oceanion when Matthew gave a blood transfusion to Keira. Judging from their interactions, Keira seemed somewhat cold toward him.

Matthew had always maintained a polite distance from Keira, so Lewis hadn't investigated him.

As he was thinking, he heard Keira say, "You want a reason? Fine, I'll give you one. 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂

"I've always been curious why you would show up whenever I'm in danger.

"After I left home, there were several times when I fell ill without realizing it and fainted. It was you who lived across the corridor who saved me.

"The very first time I got my period, I had no experience and fainted from iron-deficiency anemia. You administered iron to me, and I survived.

"You seem to have always known my condition better than I do, so, Matthew, who exactly are you?"

Matthew paused briefly and laughed. "Couldn't I just be a neighborly brother who admires you? Didn't you discover my secret? That's why you kept your distance from me ever since."

His tone carried a tinge of melancholy.

Those words made Lewis suddenly stand upright, looking alarmed.

Keira just laughed. "Yes, I always thought you were a kind-hearted big brother next door. You always lived across from me and took care of me until one day, when I went to your house and discovered the photos of me you had hidden."

Keira lowered her gaze.

She was truly terrified at that time.

Having just moved out from the Olsen family, she was extremely insecure. She was a teenage girl living independently, and Matthew always looked after her for those five years.

She truly regarded Matthew as family, an older brother she cherished; at that time, she and Matthew got along very well.

When she earned money and bought fruit, she always brought some for him.

When she was seventeen, she happened to enter Matthew's room and saw the photos of her that he had hidden...

She was a vibrant young girl, but because of her experiences, she had always pushed people away.

The neighbor next door, whom she had finally accepted, was a doctor. He was gentle and patient, giving her someone to rely on, but she hadn't expected that he would harbor such feelings for her.

At that time, Keira was stunned.

Later, when she realized she didn't have feelings for Matthew and feared causing him trouble, she chose to distance herself, yet each month, she still went to him for her iron treatments.

She had always been his patient.

So, the relationship between Keira and Matthew was very complicated.

Keira couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, I was too presumptuous. I thought the person in that photo was me, never imagining it could be my sister."

With those words, Matthew's expression suddenly froze.

He tensed his jaw, seemingly still wanting to deny it.

But in the end, he just sighed. "How did you figure it out?"

Keira said, "Because that photo was very strange. The background was a place I didn't recognize at all. At the time, I didn't think much of it, assuming I had inadvertently visited some attic, but after my sister appeared, I developed this suspicion."

She looked at Matthew. "Although I have never been to that place in the background, it should be the Winter Palace, right? My sister has always been in Clance, so it's very normal for her to have visited there. I found her photo album at her house, containing a set taken in the Winter Palace that matches the photo you had. So..."

Keira paused and stared straight at him. "You're my sister's Guardian, aren't you?"

Matthew looked at Keira. He wanted to say something but didn't admit his identity.

Keira continued. "Did my sister know about my mother and me and ask you to protect us?"

Matthew frowned, but when he saw how serious Keira looked, he could only sigh. "Yes. She never had much power. She was low-key and didn't want to compete for anything, so the South family had already given up on her, leaving me to protect you and the lady."

Keira fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "So, that time out at sea when my sister and I were taken away, was it you who rescued us?"

Matthew clenched his fist. "Yes."

"Why didn't you save my sister?!"

Keira demanded.

Matthew closed his eyes. "By the time I got there, she had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. I had no idea where to look for her. I could only save you."

Keira pressed on, "Then why did you bring me to Clance? You told others I drowned in a swimming pool, and after you gave me an iron injection, you sent me back to the South residence. Why?"

As soon as she said that, Matthew immediately looked at her. "Because I wanted you to avenge your sister!"

Keira was taken aback.

Matthew's had tears in his eyes. "Your sister was so low-profile; she just wanted to live quietly in that little place in the South residence, but those people from the South family never left her alone! It was the people from the South family who killed your sister!"

Looking at the emotionally charged Matthew, Keira slowly walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "Matthew, tell me, what exactly is going on with the South family?"
