Chapter 754


    Sylviay down again after Lily left. She pulled the quilt over her head to block the sunlight from shining into the room.


    Meanwhile , Lily stepped out and immediately ran into Odell who was next to the doorway.


    His tall andnky figure was leaning against the wall next to the door, and there was a distinctly dark look on his handsome face.


    Lily took a step back, startled by the sight of him. “Odell? Why are you here?”


    Odell red at her with mild contempt. “I should be asking you the same question.”


    Alook of panic shed across Lily’s face, then she promptly exined, “I’m sorry, | should have told you before | came. You


    didn’t reply to my messagest night, and | became concerned that something bad happened to you, so | got in touch with your


    driver. That’s how | found out that you brought Miss Sylvia here, so | figured I''de to visit her as well.”


    “You came to visit her?” There was a tint of ice in his voice, and his current expression seemed almost demonic.


    It was a world’s difference from his usual mild and


    indifferent temperament. This was the first time Lily had seen him in such a foul mood.


    She had a gut feeling that she was not the true reason for Odell being so upset. After all, she had onlye to make a


    statement and never said anything particrly nasty or hurtful to Sylvia.


    With that said, she was still feeling particrly unnerved and apologized, “I’m sorry, maybe | acted selfishly, but | never held any


    ill will against her.” “Keep it to yourself. I’m not interested in you.” Lily’s expression transformed. This was the first time in her life


    that a man was telling her straight to her face that she did not interest him. It was especially worse considering it came from a


    man that she was desperate to have for herself!


    She was a Springsteen! Numerous men would do everything in their power to have a chance with her! How could he say such


    things to her?


    She frowned and stated, “Odell, don’t you think it’s very hurtful for you to say that?”


    Odell pursed his lips and ignored her.


    Lily promptly walked past him and stormed down the hallway. After she vanished, the hallway was filled with silence.


    The man wore the same intense look on his face. When he


    looked at the woman in the ward who was wrapped in a thick quilt, the look in his eyes darkened momentarily.


    Their divorce was something he could live with, but why would she even promise Lily that she would not step in between the two


    of them?


    How much contempt could Sylvia have for him to want to draw such clear boundaries with him?


    Was she still thinking about Thomas who dumped her?


    Sylvia was discharged after two days in the hospital.


    It was not because she disliked the hospital but because she missed Isabel and Liam. She could not wait to hear their familiar


    voices.


    Upon returning to her house that afternoon, she immediately moved her chair to the wall connected to the next house and sat


    there, listening patiently for any signs of movement.


    Even after an hour had passed, she could not hear the children’s voices. In fact, she could not even hear the usual voices of


    Sebastian and the others chatting about their day.


    It was so quiet as if the next house was abandoned.


    longer, Sylvia decided she had enough. She rose and


    walked outside.


    She looked at the next house. There was not a single person around the gate, not even the bodyguards that were usually posted


    there.


    She stepped in front of the gate and tried to peer inside through the gaps. The yard was empty, and the door leading to the living


    room was closed. Not a single person could be seen.


    She raised her hand to ring the doorbell.


    The doorbell seemed to echo and drone on endlessly, but nobody emerged from the house. It seemed like the house was empty.


    Everything was fine before she went to the hospital , so what suddenly changed? Why was there nobody at home?


    She immediately took out her phone and called Odell. It only rang once before the call got disconnected. Sylvia frowned and


    send him a message after pondering over it for a while. She asked him, “Hey, have you moved out? Why is there no one home?”Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
