Chapter 41
When Sylvia woke up again, she found herself in a hospital bed, her eyes moving but her mind still foggy. She
could hear a conversation happening right beside her.
"How is she doing?"
The voice was low and familiar, yet carried an undertone of danger.
"Mr. Garcia, she's going to be just fine, | stake my career on it. Her hand will heal as if nothing ever happened."
Hand?
That word jolted Sylvia into a more alert state, her half-closed eyes focusing on the ntag pinned on the
white coat by her bedside. Chief of Neurology, Clive. So familiar the name, she remembered it.
In her past life, Bridget had cut her hand while cooking, and Rupert, worried sick, had the best neurologist in
town, Dr. Clive, rushed over to take care of Bridget's wound.
That very day, Sylvia had gotten a once-in-a-lifetopportunity to redesign a set of vintage jewelry but ended
up having her hand nerves severed by a mugger in a freak accident.
She begged the hospital for the best neurologist, only to find out he was with Rupert, attending to Bridget's
minor cut.
She called Rupert, pleading for help, only to be dismissed with, "Sylvia, can you stop overreacting every time
Bridget sneezes? Don't you get tired of this?"
And with that, Rupert hung up, and Sylvia lost all hope and opportunity.
Now, the face of the doctor before her merged with the memories from her past life. And standing by him was

"Ah!"
"Don't cany closer!"
"Stay away! Stay away!"
"My hand! My hand is gone!"
Sylvia's emotions collapsed in an instant; she couldn't differentiate between her past and present life.
A profound, indescribable sorrow filled every cell of her being. She clutched the blanket tightly, her body
convulsing violently.
Rupert called for the attending doctor, and nurses tried to restrain Sylvia, who fought them off as if her body was
out of her control, rebelling against anyone's touch. To prevent further injury, they had Sylvia sedated after
getting Rupert's consent.
Gradually, Sylvia drifted into a calm sleep.
Rupert, looking at Sylvia's pale face, demanded coldly, "What happened?"
The attending doctor explained, "Ms. Lloyd seems to have been severely triggered, unable to cto terms with
her situation."
As his voice trailed off, silence filled the room.
Rupert's frosty gaze made everyone unable to even breathe too loudly around him.
Then, a phone call broke the silence.

With a flick of his cigarette, Rupert nonchalantly sealed Julian's fate.
Orson responded respectfully, "Understood."
After hanging up, Rupert extinguished his cigarette and returned to Sylvia's bedside.
Perhaps due to the sedative, Sylvia was sleeping peacefully, her delicate face half-buried in the pillow, looking
exquisitely stunning.
