Working continuously for several days, Cyril showed no signs of trouble, so his secretary and assistant gradually relaxed.
They thought everything was fine, as such headaches were not uncommon, but when Cyril collapsed at work, they realized how naive they had been.
Cyril was supposed to be attending a meeting when he suddenly fainted for no apparent reason. His collapse shocked everyone, and he was rushed to the hospital. The doctor's diagnosis revealed that he had fainted due to low blood sugar from skipping meals for too long.
It was then that the group of Sylvias belatedly remembered that Cyril had been immersed in work, neglecting his meals. They realized his body couldn't handle it anymore.
The words spoken to Cyril by Michelle during their last meeting seemed harmless on the surface but had deeply wounded him.
While such incidents had occurred before, Sylvia had always resolved them quickly. Now, without Sylvia, they didn't know what to do.
"Should we call Sylvia and ask her to come? If Cyril continues like this, I'm worried he'll end up living in the hospital."
They had been by Cyril's side for years, working with him since he started the company. Cyril was a good boss who paid well. So, they genuinely cared for him. Despite his wealth, his family always seemed problematic.
Clearly, the last line of defense in Cyril's family had been breached. Thus, Cyril couldn't handle the collapse.
"That sounds good in theory. But what can Sylvia do? Don't forget, she and Cyril are practically estranged after the divorce. You were there with Cyril at the neighborhood committee meetings. Didn't you notice Sylvia's disdain towards him? Do you really think she'll come?"
Paris was the most aware of Cyril and Sylvia's relationship. He knew Sylvia would never agree, even if they asked her. Everyone fell into a silence. What now? They couldn't do nothing. What if Cyril collapsed again?
"We need to find someone to watch Cyril closely. He hasn't been eating properly for days."
With no other option, they decided to focus on ensuring Cyril ate regularly. They nodded in agreement and prepared to leave to get Cyril's medication when they saw Sylvia.
Paris was surprised to see Sylvia here, as she was born here.
