Chapter 857


    After breakfast, Odell took the same car to work as usual.


    Not long after he left, Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to the hospital where she gave birth.


    The chief doctor of the gynecology department was already waiting for her.


    Odell had most likely sponsored this hospital after she gave birth, so the doctor’s attitude toward her was very warm. All kinds of


    tests were done very carefully. The examination report came out on the same day. Her body had recovered well, and there were


    no otherplications.


    Sylvia was satisfied and led Isabel and Liam out of the hospital.


    Their car was in the parking lot where Jacob was waiting.


    Sylvia wanted to make a phone call to Odell, so she said to the children, “You two get in the car with Uncle Jacob first. Mommy


    will make a call to Daddy, and I''ll be right there.”


    Upon hearing that she was going to call Odell, Isabel agreed immediately and pulled Liam to the car with Jacob.


    Sylvia took out her phone and called Odell.


    TE


    The line rang twice before picking up, and the man’s pleasant voice asked, “Is the checkup done?”


    She replied, “Yeah. The doctor said my body is recovering well.” Odell was silent for a few seconds. “Good.”


    Sylvia thought for a moment and whispered, “I’m going home with the kids now. I''ll wait for you at home.”


    “| might have a meeting tonight.”


    “Huh?” Her expression changed as she subconsciously let out a sound, her tone full of displeasure and disappointment.


    At the other end of the phone, the corners of the man’s lips were already curled into a smile. He held back hisughter and


    asked, “What do you mean, ‘huh?”


    She hurriedly said, “N-nothing.”


    “I lied.”


    “What?”


    “| don’t have a meeting.”


    Sylvia was embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red with shame.


    On the phone, the man’s maic voice said softly, “Hurry home. Be a good girl and wait for me at home. I''ll go back early in the


    afternoon.”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Okay.” She hung up the phone after speaking.


    Then, she turned around to go to the ce where the car was parked. However, the moment she raised her head, a straight and


    slender figure came into view.


    The young man wore a long light-colored coat and was standing in front of a car. His brown eyes held a long smile as he looked


    at her.


    Sylvia paled as she took arge step back.


    Thomas stood in the same ce, his expression unchanging He simply looked at her. After sizing her up, he asked, “Have you


    been welltely?”


    Sylvia’s body trembled uncontrobly.


    Almost subconsciously, she turned around and ran to the side. She dashed away as if she had just seen a ghost.


    She circled the parking lot in a single breath and ran to where Jacob parked.


    When Jacob saw her running like the wind from another direction, he immediately got out of the car and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “We''ll talkter. Hurry up and go back!”


    Sylvia was afraid that Thomas had set up some kind of ambush there, so she pulled open the car door and got into the car.


    Jacob also quickly got into the car and started the engine. The car sped out of the parking lot and weaved into traffic.


    Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was tense, and her hands still trembled.
