NovelEnglishChapter 419
Sylvia’s lips quivered. “Thanks for the reminder. I won’t do it again.”
Liam and Isabel were waiting for her. She could not go on like this. No matter how much
she hated Odell, she had to endure it.
Violet heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She helped Sylvia to come out and let her sit her down on the couch. Then, she changed
the bedsheets swiftly and replaced the carpet with a new one.
She also opened the door and windows to let in the fresh breeze in.
Sylvia wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, but her stomach suddenly churned.
She immediately got up and limped to the bathroom, ignoring the stinging pain in her leg.
She held the toilet and puked out all the food that she had eaten.
When Violet saw this, she hurriedly said, “Mrs. Carter, hold on! I’ll get the doctor right now!”
After that, she ran out of the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she ran out, she saw the man leaning against the wall outside the door.
Violet did not know how long he had stood there. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his
face was frighteningly cold.
Violet stopped in her tracks and tried to greet him.
Odell glanced at her and said, “Go do your work.”
Violet instantly swallowed her words and ran down the stairs. The family doctor was
downstairs at the moment.
Within two minutes, Violet had brought the doctor to Sylvia’s room.
By that time, Sylvia had already come out of the bathroom. She sat on the couch weakly,
letting the doctor check her pulse.
Soon, the doctor said, “Mrs. Carter didn’t consume any food for a long time, so when she
suddenly ate a huge amount of food all at one go and drank cold water, her stomach
became over- stimulated and upset. Let the kitchen prepare some light food that is easy to
digest, and she should be fine after recuperating for two days.”
Violet replied, “Okay, doctor.”
The doctor looked at Sylvia’s leg and could not help but advise her, “Mrs. Carter, you
desperately need to rest now. If you don’t take good care of your body, your leg might not
recover completely.”
Sylvia replied, “Got it.”
The doctor then got up and headed out.
Violet left as well to go to the kitchen.
For a while, Sylvia leaned against the couch weakly.
When Violet came in with another tray of freshly- made food, she started to eat slowly.
After filling her stomach, she put down her cutlery, changed into clean clothes, and rested
on her bed.
She felt much more comfortable, probably due to having a full stomach, and fell asleep
quickly.
It was at this time that the man outside the door walked in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe walked to the bedside and bent down, looking at her sleeping face. His warm palm
covered her pale and frail face, his deep gaze also staring at her.
If she could think things through and stop going on a hunger strike, stop thinking about
looking for Edmund, and stop thinking about leaving him, he would not mind forgiving her
for the sins she had committed. He would give her another chance.
A week flew by.
Sylvia lived her days in a regular pattern, eating and sleeping according to schedule.
Her face looked healthy again, and the pain in her leg lessened.
Of course, she did not see Odell during the week. However, she missed Liam and Isabel
every day.
She could not walk yet, so she did not want the two kids to be unhappy if they saw her like
that. Therefore, Sylvia did not mention anything about going to meet them.
The weather was great on this day. After breakfast, Sylvia pushed her wheelchair to the
courtyard. When she closed her eyes to bathe in the sunlight, a car stopped outside the
gate.
She opened her eyes and looked over, watching as a bodyguard opened the door of a
business vehicle respectfully.
Odell’s upright figure got out of the car.
