After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980

On the plane, Carolyn and Jasper, the brother and sister, sat together.

She gazed at the white clouds in the thirty thousand feet high sky, feeling anything but calm.

She couldn't remember how many times she had traveled between the country and Aettosa, each time filled with hope, only to be disappointed and in pain when she returned.

It had become a repetitive cycle, and she had grown numb to it.

Jasper reached out and held her hand. "Sis."

Carolyn turned her gaze back to his handsome face and gave a faint smile. "I'm fine."

But she didn't pull her hand away. Unbeknownst to her, her little brother had grown up and become a strong man.

A man who could accompany her through thick and thin.

Although Jasper didn't say anything more, it felt like he was silently conveying warmth and strength to her.

A silent strength.

After a while, Jasper let go of Carolyn's hand.

The facilities in the business class were well-equipped. Although the seats were close together, each seat had its own small separate space.

It wasn't like the economy class where the seats were tightly packed together, resembling the arrangement on a bus.

After another hour, the plane finally landed at the airport.

Franklin held Sylvia's hand as they stepped off the plane, accompanied by Jasper, Carolyn, and a staff member from McGuire Group who was Carolyn's assistant. They all walked towards the exit of the airport.

After a few hours on the plane, despite the comfortable experience in the business class, they were all feeling a bit tired.

They first went to the hotel where they would be staying and rested for a while.

Carolyn and her assistant Sara shared a room. She felt more at ease when someone was in the same room as her, especially when they were away from home. It felt safer to live together.

Jasper had a room to himself, while Franklin and Sylvia shared a room.

The weather in Aettosa was extremely hot. As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Franklin started preparing and organizing the evidence and materials for the trial, while Sylvia took care of everyone's daily needs and ran errands with Jasper or others.

While they were busy, members of the Blood Medical Sect also arrived at the hotel.

Without saying a word, Casey led Carmelo and a few men into Franklin's room.

The group of people surrounded him, conducting various examinations and consultations.

Carolyn was startled as she watched so many doctors surrounding Franklin. "Mr. Maskelyne, what's wrong?"

Sylvia casually replied, "Just a minor ailment."

She hadn't expected the Blood Medical Sect to take it so seriously and bring so many people along.

Casey first took his pulse, then examined Franklin's appearance and asked him questions. After that, it was Carmelo's turn, followed by the other men.

These men included two young ones and two middle-aged ones, all of whom conducted their own diagnosis on Franklin.

Finally, they gathered together and discussed for a while. Casey looked at Sylvia and said, "Miss Andrews, let's go back to our room to discuss our strategy. You can continue with your tasks."

Sylvia nodded. "Alright, let me know if you need anything."

Casey led the group of people out of the room.

Once they left, the room suddenly became unusually quiet.

Sylvia glanced at Franklin, who was still engrossed in his work, and quietly left the room.

She went straight to Casey's room and asked, "How is it going?"

"It's deeply rooted," Casey's fair face showed concern. "Miss Andrews, we'll do our best to treat him. We'll start by prescribing medication to delay the onset of toxicity. As for an antidote... we may need further research."

Sylvia hadn't held high hopes to begin with. After all, Countless Love Ties was not an ordinary poison that could be easily cured.

"Thank you," she said.

After leaving Casey's room, Sylvia patted her face and walked to her own room. She took several deep breaths and adjusted her facial expression and state of mind.

Once she felt ready, she opened the door and walked in.

She didn't want Franklin to see her worried and upset. If she was in pain, his burden would only become heavier.

On the evening before the trial, Franklin put away all his work and took Sylvia for a walk near the hotel. They enjoyed local cuisine together.

Lukas' case was scheduled to be heard at 9:30 in the morning.

Franklin wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath, looking clean and sharp. There was an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance.

Sylvia accompanied him to the entrance of the courthouse. "No matter what happens, just do your best."

Franklin looked at her affectionately and smiled lightly. "No matter the outcome, I know you'll be waiting for me. I'm not afraid."

Sylvia smiled back, her eyes curved. "Okay, I'll be waiting."

Only a few selected media were allowed inside; outsiders couldn't eavesdrop on the proceedings.

Carolyn walked towards the entrance of the courthouse with her assistant Sara and Franklin. When they reached the door, they encountered a group of Aettosa people.

Among them was Du Lai, a well-known Aettosa lawyer.

Franklin glanced at him indifferently and brushed past him without saying a word.
