Chapter 89 An Impossible She
“Anyway, it could be anything, but it absolutely couldn’t be related to Sylvia. That’s just impossible,” Jonathan stated emphatically.
“Why do you think it can’t be connected to Sylvia? What if it was in fact her who saved me all those years ago?” Cyril countered, throwing a hypothetical that seemed to boggle Jonathan’s mind.
nt happened. You got married because she cornered you into it three years ago, and you know this well. Do you think it’s possible for her to wear that glamorous party dress to the beach? That whole scenario is just unreal–maybe you were just dazzled by her last night… Wait, why would you be dazzled by her?” Jonathan suddenly caught himself. It wasn’t like Cyril to be captivated by Sylvia, considering their history.
“What are you even thinking? You didn’t even know Sylvia when the
Jonathan pondered Cyril’s odd position, almost failing to conceal his disbelief. “You can’t be serious. And besides, wasn’t it Carina who saved you back then?”
Jonathan vaguely remembered the incident five years prior. When Cyril’s boat accident occurred, rescue teams searched tirelessly without success, and all had feared the worst. Then, unexpectedly, a call came from Cyril a month later, informing them that he had been rescued by locals and was sent to a hospital where he’d been in a coma for a month.
They rushed to him, and when asked about his rescuer, Cyril mentioned it might have been Carina. They had inquired with Carina later, who did not deny it.
“Just because Carina didn’t deny it doesn’t mean it’s true. After all she’s done behind my back over the years, aren’t you aware?” Cyril said, wryly noting the contrast between statement and action.
Jonathan internally agreed as he was acutely aware of the schemes Carina had concocted against Sylvia. Some of those schemes, he had even aided a bit. Yet he couldn’t blatantly admit this to Cyril, as it felt improper to do so.
“This isn’t what I’m getting at. Why can’t you see what I’m trying to tell you?” Jonathan sighed, exasperated.
He wanted to make it clear to Cyril that anyone could have been his rescuer, but it definitely wasn’t Sylvia.
“If it really had been Sylvia who saved you, do you think she’d keep it a secret? Think about all these years of marriage. Wasn’t there anything that stirred, even slightly, she would tell you about, desperately trying to impress and garner your attention?”
Chapter 89 An Impossible She
Jonathan began analyzing the events earnestly with Cyril. “Just last year, when there was a plumbing issue in your marital home, didn’t Sylvia make a big deal out of telling you about the repair? Was that trivial matter even worth mentioning to you? And if you think that’s negligible, then think back on each event over the years–how often has she bothered you with the minutest details?”
In Jonathan’s view, such inconsequential matters didn’t merit bothering Cyril about, yet Sylvia did so anyway.
“Yeah, remember all those times we were together for gatherings? Sometimes when Sylvia would call and you weren’t around, one of us brothers would answer and just happened to hear your stuff. Don’t worry, we gave Sylvia a good lecture on the phone, telling her not to daydream, to not think about stuff she shouldn’t. We’re firmly on your side,” Jonathan stammered his justification.
