After breakfast, Odell took the same car to work as usual.Not long after he left, Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to the hospital where she gave birth.The chief doctor of the gynecology department was already waiting for her.Odell had most likely sponsored this hospital after she gave birth, so the doctor's attitude toward her was very warm. All kinds of tests were done very carefully. The examination report came out on the same day. Her body had recovered well, and there were no other complications.Sylvia was satisfied and led Isabel and Liam out of the hospital.Their car was in the parking lot where Jacob was waiting.Sylvia wanted to make a phone call to Odell, so she said to the children, "You two get in the car with Uncle Jacob first. Mommy will make a call to Daddy, and I'll be right there."Upon hearing that she was going to call Odell, Isabel agreed immediately and pulled Liam to the car with Jacob.Sylvia took out her phone and called Odell.The line rang twice befor
Isabel and Liam both looked at Sylvia. When they saw her panicked face, Isabel immediately asked, "What's wrong, Mommy? Did you meet a bad guy?"Sylvia snapped back to her senses and saw Isabel and Liam's worried eyes.She quickly hugged them, feeling their soft little bodies, and her emotions soon calmed down. She said, "I just saw a bad guy trying to rob someone at knifepoint, but he was stopped by the hospital security. I was just a little frightened, but I'm fine now.""Don't be scared, Mommy. Liam and I are here." Isabel immediately burrowed into her arms and hugged her.Liam frowned and said, "Mommy, don't walk around alone anymore.""Yeah, I know." Sylvia also did not think that she would run into Thomas in the short while she was alone when calling Odell.The little ones were most likely fooled by her excuse and did not ask any more questions. They merely sat close to her.However, Sylvia still felt very uneasy. She took out her phone and sent a message to Odell. "I saw
Even so, Sylvia's mood was still unsettled.'Why did he suddenly come back? He already released Aunt Tonya, so he should have intended to leave me alone. Why did he approach me again?'Just as she was feeling more and more uneasy, and her body went cold, a strong figure suddenly walked in through the doorway.Sylvia quickly looked up as her eyes brightened. "Odell?"Odell took a few big steps to her side and looked at her up and down. Then, he said to Isabel and Liam beside her, "Go back to your room."The little ones obediently got off the bed and followed Aunt Tonya out.Only Sylvia and Odell were left in the room along with Flint, who was sleeping soundly.Odell sat next to Sylvia and took her into his arms. One hand was wrapped around her, and one hand held her hands that were clasped together.It was only then that Sylvia noticed her hands were clasped together again. She quickly let go.Odell frowned and held one of her hands in his palm. Her body was still cold, and her
The spacious bedroom suddenly became hot.However, when the two were about to strip, a loud wail broke the tension.They immediately stopped moving.Not far away, Flint, who was still in swaddling clothes, was wailing.Odell frowned and looked at him with displeasure. "Shut up!"Flint continued to wail even louder than before.Odell reached toward him.Sylvia thought he was going to fling the baby and quickly held his hand. "Don't hurt him, Odell.""I'll give him to Aunt Tonya." His voice was still displeased.She instantly got out from underneath him and took the little one into her arms."He's hungry. He'll be fine after I feed him." Then, she lifted the top that he had unbuttoned.Thinking of something, she looked at him again and said with a simpering expression, "Can you turn around for a moment?"Odell frowned and instantly looked even more upset. However, he still turned around.Sylvia then started to feed Flint.The little one stopped crying the moment he got his
Seeing that Flint did not seem like he was about to cry, Sylvia tried to place him in Odell's arms.Unexpectedly, the little one lay obediently on Odell's chest as soon as he got into his arms, without crying or making a fuss.Sylvia laughed. "Odell, he's accepted you."Odell smiled and hummed.'Good, at least he knows that I'm his father.'He gently hugged Flint until the baby fell asleep on his chest."Flint?" Sylvia tried to call him.Flint still had his eyes closed, obviously asleep.Odell's expression changed, and he immediately carried the baby to the crib next to the bed. Then, he turned around and looked at Sylvia on the bed with a deep and wicked gaze.Sylvia blinked, and her cheeks reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye. The collar of her shirt was still loose, and her two fine, pale legs were casually folded to one side. She was like a quietly blooming flower, appearing soft and charming.His tall figure pressed toward her at once.Immediately, he pinned Syl
Thomas looked at her with eyes that were devoid of warmth. "I don't think you came to see me to say these useless words to me."Lily's expression changed. "I indeed have a lot of questions to ask you.""I don't know anything except for the six months she was in Galston."Her face turned cold, and she asked, "Why did you let her return to Mediana? Why did you let her keep Odell's child?"Thomas picked up his coffee and took a sip, not answering her. It was obvious he did not intend to answer those two questions.Lily did not pursue the topic and asked instead, "Can you tell me why you suddenly came back?""Because of her.""Sylvia?""Yes."Lily sneered. "She already gave birth to Odell's child and is living in the Carters' residence. Can you still snatch her back?"Thomas retorted, "Have you already given up on my big brother?"Her expression changed, and she said in a cold voice, "I will never lose to a woman who's inferior to me in every aspect."He pursed his lips. "Then,
Sylvia moaned.Odell plugged her mouth again, no longer giving her the chance to open her mouth to speak.Soon, their clothes fell to the floor, and their bodies writhed.The man, who had held back for a long time, finally got what he wanted.As for Sylvia, she was like a flower that was methodically disassembled, dismantled, and assembled, only to be dismantled all over again...Just like that, they repeatedly tossed and turned until late at night before the man let go of her and she fell asleep.The room was silent.Odell saw her fall asleep as soon as her eyes closed and could not help but pat her rosy face. "Sylvia?"She ignored him.He chuckled. 'She's really fallen asleep.'Then, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom with an insatiable look. The warm water washed away his sweat.After washing, he returned to the bed in his pajamas and wrapped her back in his arms."Can you be gentler?" The woman's hoarse voice suddenly spoke up.He froze and looked at her.
Sylvia's heart thudded. The unhappy feeling of being tossed around all night until she developed a fever inexplicably disappeared.She pursed her lips and nursed Flint.Aunt Tonya stood next to her and could not help but smile secretly when she saw Sylvia's happy face.The trauma of those six months had finally passed. It would be best if Thomas never appeared again....The scene where Thomas appeared suddenly was like an illusion.For the next few days, Sylvia did hear any news from him, and she did not receive any messages from him on her phone either. He seemed to have disappeared from Westchester.Did he suddenly appear in front of the hospital that day just to see her and ask how she was doing?Sylvia warily cooped herself up at home for most of the month before she could no longer resist going out.Isabel and Liam started school long ago.That morning, Sylvia took Flint and sent them to preschool with Aunt Tonya, then went to the nearby shopping street for a stroll.I
