My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire!-Chapter 872 - 871
Chapter 872: Chapter 871
Editor: Henyee Translations
Keira had assumed that Lewis was being closely guarded, unable to move.
But she never expected that when she arrived upstairs, she’d walk into... an oasis of luxury?
The entire third floor didn’t feel like a hospital at all. There was no sharp smell of disinfectant in the hallway, just pristine floors and neatly arranged potted plants along the walls, making the place feel more like a high-end residence than a medical facility.
Keira frowned, glancing at the nurse.
The nurse gave her a sympathetic look. "Um, just... try not to get too worked up, okay?"
Keira was perplexed.
With a head full of questions, she stepped into the hospital room—and immediately spotted Lewis.
Dressed in hospital scrubs, he was sitting up in bed. A bandage wrapped around his forehead where he must have hit his head when he fell into the water.
But standing in front of him was a woman.
A woman who, despite her plain looks, was dressed in designer clothes and currently fussing over Lewis, handing him things with an almost worshipful enthusiasm. "Solomon, try this."
She picked up an apple and offered it to him.
Lewis took it with a slight frown, then looked past her at Keira with an unreadable expression.
His acting was impeccable—playing the amnesia victim to avoid giving the wrong answers under questioning. Keira knew the test wasn’t over yet, and she could feel the nurse still watching her closely.
If she and Lewis slipped up even a little, there was a good chance a team of soldiers would burst in and drag them both out of here.
Keira blinked and asked the nurse, "What’s going on?"
The nurse coughed. "Oh, well... Miss South here saw Solomon and, uh, fell for him at first sight."
Keira was dumbfounded.
She turned to look at the woman—Scarlet South—who was openly swooning over Lewis.
She fell for him at first sight?
Okay. And then what?
As Keira was still processing this, Lewis turned to Scarlet and asked flatly, "Are you sure I’m your fiancé?"
Keira was even more confused.
She shot Scarlet a look, only to see her smile sweetly. "Of course! You’re my fiancé, and I’m your fiancée! We were on a boat together when you fell into the water, and that’s why you lost your memory!"
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She stared at Lewis, who seemed to be mulling over Scarlet’s words, though Keira, having known him for years, could see the hint of exasperation on his face.
For a moment, Keira wanted to laugh.
Lewis pretending to have amnesia was a solid strategy—it kept the nurses and guards from questioning him too hard, reducing the risk of them catching any inconsistencies.
But he probably never anticipated that he’d end up being claimed by a rich woman with a wild imagination.
Scarlet was straight-up trying to convince him that she was his fiancée.
And since he had "amnesia," he couldn’t exactly deny it.
Talk about being backed into a corner.
Lewis looked at Keira and sent her a silent plea for help.
Keira understood.
Did she want to help him? Not really. It was pretty entertaining. But she also knew this wasn’t the time to sit back and watch the show. Right now, they were supposed to be a couple facing adversity together.
So she put on her best heartbroken expression and whispered, "You’re his fiancée? Then what does that make me?"
She clenched her fists and looked at Scarlet.
Scarlet turned to Keira with a smile.
Lewis hesitated deliberately and asked, "Who is she?"
Keira immediately started, "I’m your—mmph!"
Before she could finish, Scarlet clapped a hand over Keira’s mouth and all but dragged her out of the room.
The nurse was stunned.
Lewis, too, furrowed his brow in confusion.
Outside the room, Keira was just as dumbfounded.
Scarlet turned to her with a pleading expression. "Miss Olsen, I know all about your tragic love story with Solomon. It’s very moving. But... I really like him. Could you let him go for me?"
Keira was confused.
She stared at Scarlet, speechless.
Scarlet cleared her throat. "We can talk numbers. How about three million?"
On this remote island, the local currency was the South Dollar. When Keira and Lewis arrived, they didn’t have any money on them.
They had even joked about figuring out a way to make some quick cash.
Who would’ve thought that opportunity would just walk right up and hand itself to them on a silver platter?
