Chapter 823


    Sylvia, let me ask you just one more question.” He held her chin tightly in his hands. A rush of his hot breath blew against her face, "Do you still love me?"


    Sylvia froze, her hands sped together tighter than before


    Did he still have feelings for.


    But wasn''t he engaged to Lily?


    They had gotten engaged in front of all of their friends and families


    If she imed that she still loved him, would he call off the entire thing to be with her?


    What about Lily?


    How would he exin things to the Springsteens?


    She remembered the time Madam Springsteen hade to confront her.


    She was still mentally unstable. Someone who could not draw and keep her emotions stable... How could someone like her be with him and give him happiness?


    “Answer mel” He suddenly bellowed


    Sylvia snapped back to her senses and answered in a trembling voice, "No... no.”


    He red at her fearful eyes and asked usingly again, “You don’t love me anymore?”


    “Yes.”


    “Is there not even the slightest trace of affection left for me?”


    Sylvia dug her fingernails into her palms and gritted her teeth as she forced herself to answer, “No more."


    “Alright, | understand now.”


    He spoke in a low and pleasant voice, almost like a song. He said it in a way that seemed like he was going to burst out


    laughing.


    However, hearing it made Sylvia''s heart feel an inexplicable hurt.


    Without waiting for her to say anything, he suddenly let go of her and departed, his tall figure vanishing into the night.


    The living room was filled with unbearable silence, and only the cold wind continued to roar.


    After what seemed like forever, Sylvia came back to her senses and looked outside.


    The dim lights from the outside illuminated her face that she had not even realized were already covered with her tears.


    Outside her house


    The car that had been parked outside for a long time revved its engine and drove away as soon as Odell got in.


    Meanwhile, there was yet another car that had been parked in a secluded area the entire time.


    From inside the car, Lily looked at the ck car that had just driven away, then she gave an order to the driver, “Tail that car.”


    The driver promptly swerved out from the shade of the trees and onto the road.


    Lily stared at the car in front.


    She had been to the hospital three times today; the morning, afternoon, and evening.


    She had been turned away by Cliff both times during the morning and noontime.


    When she had gone again this evening, she had spotted Odell stepping out of the hospital with a dark expression on his face.


    That was when she had decided to tail him.


    She had expected him to stay here for the night. However, he hade out again within an hour. However, the expression he


    now wore seemed even darker than the one he had when he had stepped out of the hospital the same evening.


    Perhaps it was because the woman inside had not offered the hospitality he was expecting? Had she said something that upset


    him that much?


    Forty minutester, the car stopped at Lush Heaven.


    She looked at therge, stately door of Lush Heaven, at its grandiose banner and decorations. After a moment of hesitation, she


    pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.


    The next afternoon


    Due to having sleptte, Sylvia had also woken up veryte.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She felt as if her head was still spinning and she was unbelievably


    groggy. Her body felt weak, which was probably caused by low blood sugar.


    Propping herself up from the bed, she then got out with great difficulty and tried to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.


    As she approached the stairway, a wave of dizziness came upon her which made her fall to the side.


    Thump!


    As she fell on the stairs, her pregnant belly mmed against the handrail which sent a wave of pain throughout her body. Shortly after that, she noticed a stream


    of transparent liquid flowing out from her lower body.


    Sylvia felt so weak that she felt ike she was about to pass out.


    She held her breath and reached for the phone that had fallen onto the stairs


    The phone had been set up with a fingerprint sensor lock. The moment she pressed her finger against the fingerprint sensor, the phone verified her identity and


    unlocked ordingly.


    She had been on her phone all nightst night, debating whether she should send a text to Odell to tell him to drive carefully or something along those lines. It


    was almost dawn when she finally fell asleep.


    When the phone was unlocked, the disy showed her conversation with Odell that she had been staring at all nightst night


    She could not bear the pain anymore and did not have the strength to navigate to other contacts, it took everything left in her to press


    the dial button


    Beep!


    With one click, the call went through


    It only rang for one second


    Immediately after that, the call was ended from the other end


    Her face turned pale as she reached for the phone again and tried to call an ambnce. This time, however, her vision slowly faded into ck before she could


    even press a single button.


    Thump.


    Her hand slumped weakly against the ground and she passed out on the stairs
