Lewis didn't care about the shares of the Horton Group. He had been attending meetings overseas every night, and his international channels were clearly much more diversified. Those assets probably amounted to far more than the Horton Group!
Keira nodded in understanding.
As they were talking, old Mrs. Horton suddenly wobbled to her feet. Everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to her.
With a smile, old Mrs. Horton said, “I'm just going to the restroom.”
Marisa immediately offered, “Let me help you…”
But before she could finish, old Mrs. Horton slumped against Marisa, who was unable to hold her up. Selena rushed over to assist, barely managing to keep old Mrs. Horton from falling.
Seeing this, Lewis and Keira's eyes widened with alarm.
The moment old Mrs. Horton had stood up, it had almost resulted in a fall, causing their hearts to race.
Both of them quickly moved to support her, but Oliver stepped in front of them, saying, “You don't need to worry about it. I'll take her.”
He placed his hand on old Mrs. Horton's shoulder, saying, “Grandma, I'll take you.”
Old Mrs. Horton pointed to the second floor. “I need to go up there.”
Her main bedroom was on the second floor, so it was understandable that she wanted to go to a familiar place.
Oliver frowned. “There's a restroom on the first floor. Let's go there instead.”
“I don't want to,” old Mrs. Horton said, clearly displeased. “I want to go to the second floor.”
Oliver's frown deepened. “It's not good for you to go upstairs…”
If they had to go to the second floor, he would have to carry her up.
But before he could say more, Lewis's voice interrupted, “If you don't want to carry Grandma upstairs, I'll do it.”
Lewis stepped forward with determination, putting Oliver under immediate pressure.
Oliver quickly blocked Lewis. “You don't have to push yourself!”
Lewis replied, “I'm not pushing myself.”
“Grandma might be uncomfortable with a stranger helping her to the restroom, so I'll take her upstairs.”
With a wary look, Oliver picked up old Mrs. Horton and began to climb the stairs.
Marisa and Selena hurried to follow.
Keira and Lewis exchanged glances before trailing behind.
Being older, Oliver was visibly winded by the time he reached the top, with old Mrs. Horton directing him towards her room. “In there, in there!”
Oliver sighed, preparing to hand her over to Marisa, but old Mrs. Horton turned to Lewis. “I feel like I know this young man… who is he?”
Oliver was horrified. He quickly ushered old Mrs. Horton into the room. “Grandma, you must be mistaken. There's nothing familiar about him. Just don't think about it; your memory isn't reliable!”
