Sylvia’s face turned pale. Not only did she notice the bomb, but she also saw a deep hole at the end of the stairs. What should be the floor connecting to the stairs became a hole several meters deep. If the bombs went off, they would fall into the hole even if they survived the blast. She hugged him tightly and he strode even faster. Then, Thomas’ voice sounded from below. “Brother, if you put Sylvia down, you might be able to escape.” Thomas was in front of the riser, looking at them with a smile as he leaned on the pillar. Odell ignored him and continued to stride. Sylvia soon realized something was wrong. Given Odell’s speed, he could go down in less than thirty seconds. Why would Thomas say what he said? She understood when Odell suddenly stopped running. She saw an iron fence, as tall as her, in front of the stairs and it blocked the only exit to the first floor. It was welded on the wall and the rail. The rail might not be high, but since the stairs wer
“Even if I die, I want to be with him! I’m going to find him. Let me go. I’m going to look for him!” Sylvia yelled louder and louder. Thomas was stunned. Lily, who had been hiding outside the door for a long time, was startled too. She unconsciously moved to the side and gazed at the young woman shouting with all her might in Thomas’ embrace. She seemed like she was going crazy. At that moment, Thomas raised his hand and caressed Sylvia’s face. He said softly, “If you die with him, your children will lose their mother. Are you abandoning them too?”Tears unknowingly poured out and flowed all over Sylvia’s face. She turned back and looked toward Thomas with reddened eyes. “Thomas, you’re a madman. Madman! Madman!”Her tone got increasingly sharper. Her expression looked like she was about to go insane too. Thomas’ handsome face seemed to be taken aback at that moment. Lily, who watched that scene, frowned as well. Soon, Sylvia laughed. She yelled sharply as she laughed
The door of the emergency room opened. Sylvia was pushed out. The man who had been waiting outside the door rushed over immediately. Upon seeing that Sylvia was still unconscious, Odell frowned. “How is she?”The lead doctor said, “There are only a few scratches on her body. Her brain is normal too.”“Why hasn’t she woken up?”“Maybe she had received an immense shock mentally, so she has to sleep before regaining consciousness.” As the doctor saw Odell had an anxious expression, he added, “Don’t worry, Master Carter. We can guarantee that there’s nothing wrong with her body.”Odell’s tightly knitted brows relaxed. Isabel and Liam, who had followed him, breathed a sigh of relief too. Not long after, Sylvia was transferred to a ward. Odell sat by the bed. Seeing that his expression did not look well, Isabel and Liam sat obediently and quietly at a side. Time passed. The sky turned dark. Isabel was so tired that she fell asleep on Liam. The ward was still silent.Sylv
“I’m not going back. I want to wait for Mommy to wake up here,” Liam said immediately. Odell’s gaze turned cold. Liam pressed his lips together. “Take them away,” Odell said. Cliff and Jacob did not dare to stand there any longer. They quickly went forward and carried Liam and Isabel respectively. After they left, the ward became quieter. Odell stood up and sat by the bedside. His upright back bent over, and his handsome face neared Sylvia’s sleeping face. At the same time, he raised his hand and caressed her face lightly. “Sylvia, I believe you. I know nothing happened between you and Thomas.”Odell did not care about those things at all. He had been worried from the moment he saw her lying naked on the ground weakly. Even if something really happened between her and Thomas, he would not mind. Odell just wanted her to be safe and sound. Sylvia was still in a deep sleep. Odell kissed her forehead lightly. He said, “Sylvia, all of this was Thomas’ trick. I’m perfe
Odell ignored the nurse. He walked toward the staircase. …Half an hour later, in the hospital’s surveillance room. Odell sat in front of the surveillance monitor. His brows were knitted into a tight frown as he stared at the monitor. The process of Sylvia exiting the hospital an hour ago was playing on the monitor. The security footage had a high definition. Sylvia wore her patient’s gown with slippers on her feet. She was practically jogging as she left the hospital. That was not the point. The important thing was that she had a panicked expression. She was flustered like a child who was lost. It seemed as if she wanted to escape that place immediately. He had been right by her bedside. Why did she not call him when she woke up? Why was she leaving in such a hurry?Did she think he would not believe her?Ding. Suddenly, Odell’s phone rang. It was Cliff who called. Odell placed his phone by his ear right away. “Have you found something?”Cliff quickly replied,
Emmanuel, Dona, and Sonia were speechless. The three of them widened their eyes. The atmosphere went quiet for a few seconds. Sonia muttered and asked, “Is there something wrong with her brain?”Dona lowered her voice and replied, “I guess so.”Emmanuel said, “I think so too.”Upon seeing that the three of them were still standing together, Sylvia walked in their direction. Sonia’s gaze changed. She thought Sylvia was getting revenge because she had hit her before, so she turned and ran away.Dona and Emmanuel stepped back hastily too. However, Sylvia was quicker. She walked up to Dona’s front. When she saw Dona seemed to have gotten older by ten years overnight, she was confused. However, she could not help but ask, “Aunt Dona, why did you trick me into going to Odell’s room? Why did you do that?”Dona said, “I… Haven’t you had three children with Master Carter and got back together with him? I haven’t seen you in a long time. When did I trick you into going to his ro
Usually, she might not have been so straightforward. However, she somehow felt she was filled with confidence. Emmanuel and Dona’s expressions turned sheepish. They wanted to get angry but did not dare to lash out. Sonia immediately got furious. She had always disliked Sylvia. Never mind that Sylvia was beautiful and also a famous artist, she also got married to Master Carter and became the female owner of Carter Corporation. Although Sylvia and Master Carter’s relationship journey was full of twists, that did not stop Sonia from hating Sylvia. Sylvia’s brain was even broken at that moment. She most likely broke up with Master Carter again. Upon thinking of that, Sonia’s expression changed. She scolded Sylvia, “You b*tch. Who are you accusing for stealing your short-lived mom’s stuff?”Sylvia’s expression turned cold. “Sonia, watch your mouth!”Sonia immediately retorted, “B*tch! Short-lived mom! B*tchy short-lived mom-”Slap!Sylvia charged at Sonia and slapped her almos
Sylvia thought she might have seen a ghost in broad daylight. Master Carter had always been lukewarm to her. How could he have treated her so gently?Was it because he had sex with her last night?However, according to Sylvia’s understanding, he should have been angry. She could not figure it out. Not only could she not understand Odell, but she was also confused by Emmanuel, Dona, and Sonia. Sylvia just wanted to return to her room and calm down. However, when she ran to the attic, she realized the inside was filled with junk and miscellaneous stuff. Nothing she owned was in there. The attic was filled with dust and cobwebs too. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time. She did not return for only a night…Why did things become like that?What on Earth happened?Just as she could not understand anything, a towering figure appeared behind her. Sylvia was startled. She turned around quickly and stepped back. Odell did not move. He frowned as he gazed
