After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 979

Chapter 979

It seemed she was incredibly tired.

Franklin lifted her horizontally out of the tub, carried her to the bedroom outside, and laid her on the bed.

After a few days without proper rest, she slept particularly soundly.

Franklin then cleaned himself up before lying down beside her, stretching his arm to hold her close.

The other few were so tired they didn't bother eating and went straight to sleep after showering.

They slept until the next morning when it was bright outside.

As everyone got up, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.

The housekeeper was serving porridge, steaming millet porridge being set one by one on the dining table.

Jasper hadn't had such a warm bowl of porridge in days and felt very emotional, "It's good to be alive."

Clare and Louis also sat down at the dining table, Louis picked up a buttered toast, "This buttered toast looks good."

Sylvia woke up to find it was already bright outside, the sun high in the sky.

It was a sunny day.

Given the heat, with temperatures around 36 or 37 degrees Celsius, the shallow standing water would soon evaporate.

The deeper water would probably need to be pumped out for flood control.

But the presence of the sun meant there was hope.

Indeed, as she and Franklin entered the dining room, they heard Jasper and others enthusiastically discussing the drainage issue.

"Now they don't need us anymore. The rain stopped yesterday, and today the sun is out. What's left is searching for those who went missing and managing flood control."

Franklin led Sylvia by the hand to sit down, handing her a pair of forks.

The long-missed sunshine streamed through the windows into the dining room, a gentle breeze lightly touching the curtains. All of this made people yearn and excited.

"Finally, there's sunshine…" Sylvia curled her lips into a smile. "That's great."

"Don't be so sentimental, eat your breakfast," Clare served Sylvia a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling), "Have you been exhausted these days?"

Sylvia nodded, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

"We came to deliver supplies and check if you were safe," Clare spread his hands, "We couldn't contact you, and I was really worried, so Mr. Fox and I came."

Sylvia glanced at Louis, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home?"

"It's also for the safety of my junior," Louis handed Sylvia a poached egg, "Look how thin you've become."

Sylvia helplessly shook her head, "Whether it's dumplings or eggs, I can't eat anymore."

"What's wrong with being the group's pet?" Louis spoke again, "When I saw the flood in Larro, my heart almost stopped."

Sylvia made a face and reached for her phone. It had been charging all last night and was full.

As soon as she turned it on, she received countless Facebook messages and many missed call alerts.

Almost jamming her phone.

There were calls from Evie, Clare, Louis, Mollie.

Logan called… also Poppy and James, Romeo…

Even Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter had sent Facebook messages?

Sylvia was shocked.

Weren't this mother and daughter wishing for her death every day? How come they were concerned about her now?

Surprised indeed.

Among the bunch of Facebook messages, she noticed one from Isaac.

"With your personality, you must have gone to help with the rescue. Take care of your health."

"When the flood is over, I'll treat you to a meal, I miss you."

Sylvia thought for a while and replied, "I'm going to Aettosa soon, let's meet up when I get back."

Isaac did not reply to her, and she didn't mind, replying to other people's messages and then putting down the phone.

"Don't play with your phone while eating. Bad habit," Clare frowned at her, "Eat properly, Mr. Fox is right, look how thin you are."

The tone of an elder...

Sylvia felt like she was being treated like a three-year-old child.

But she still put down her phone obediently, nodding, "Okay."

Franklin's eyes flickered with amusement. The big boss, Mrs. Maskelyne, now managed like a little kid, a heartwarming yet amusing sight.

He also glanced at Clare, "Uncle's lesson is correct."

After breakfast, Franklin went to the office with Jasper.

These past few days, due to the flood, everyone in the company had stayed at home.

Now that the sun was out and the water on the roads was slowly receding, it was possible to go back to work.

The whole city was reviving, bustling, the overpasses filled with traffic.

However, just after getting into the Bentley, when Jasper had just started the car, Franklin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He frowned and covered his chest. Just then, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.
