Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

At the Carters’, when Odell entered, the family physician was attending to Liam.

The boy’s complexion was sickly pale, and he seemed to have passed out in slumber. After not having eaten for an entire day, he seemed noticeably skinnier. Odell knitted his brows together tightly.

Madam Carter was extremely distressed by the situation, and upon seeing Odell, she furiously

accused him, “What was the point you were trying to prove to Liam in the first place? He’s only three years old. What if something were to happen to him?!”

Odell looked at Liam who was lying motionlessly on the bed and clenched his lips together without a word.

The old madam returned to the head of the bed to watch over Liam after she had tired herself out from shouting.

After some time, the family physician breathed a sigh of relief and announced, “Madam, Master Carter, the young master’s fever has subsided. He will be fine by the time he wakes up, but he is still very weak and needs to eat as soon as possible.”

The old madam was relieved by this and thanked the doctor. “Alright, we understand.”

Odell’s frown softened as well.

The family physician took his medical kit and left. The old lady then ordered the servants to prepare Liam’s favorite food. Shortly after that, Liam finally opened his eyes.

“Liam.” The old madam took one of his tiny hands and asked nervously, “How are you feeling? Do you want to eat something?”.

Liam twitched his lips and seemed as if he was about to draw up a response, but when he noticed Odell standing by the bed in the corner of his eyes, he suddenly changed his mind. He turned away from Odell without uttering a word.

No matter how much Madam Carter tried to coax him, he would not reciprocate.

Although the old lady managed to get his little phone back from Odell, he only fiddled with it briefly and did not look like he was going to eat any time soon.

Madam Carter looked at Odell helplessly. “Odell, you’d better talk to Liam.”

What she was trying to suggest was clear as day-as Liam’s father, he needed to handle this situation appropriately.

Odell was silent for a few seconds before announcing, “I’m going for a walk.”

With that, he went outside.

The puzzled Madam Carter wondered, “What are you doing going out when Liam is like this? Don’t tell me you’re looking for Tara?”

Odell did not answer and continued heading outside.

Outside the window, Sylvia had been sneaking around for some time. The moment she saw Odell coming out, she quickly crept her way back to the backyard and slipped out from the back exit.

Her car was parked nearby.

After she slunk out of the residence, she got into her car and drove away.

She was not going to stay here any longer. She had to go home as soon as possible and call Liam with Isabel’s mobile phone so that she could persuade him to eat something at least.

At the same time, Odell stepped out of his house and went to where his car was usually parked.

As soon as he approached the vehicle, he heard Tara whimpering, “Help me, Odell…” He promptly opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Tara bound to the car seat.

She seemed haggard and there was a noticeable red swell on her cheeks that suggested someone had slapped her.

Odell was taken by surprise and investigated the car. There was not a peep of another person. Where did Sylvia go? Tara went on balking, “I’m telling you now, Odell, Sylvia is a cunning witch. She distracted me by talking to me and slipped out of the ropes without me noticing, then she attacked me and tied me up here… It was my fault. I should have seen it coming.”

Odell’s expression darkened. He quickly untied the rope from Tara without a word.
