Chapter 820
Isabel and Liam went home with Sebastian after having dinner with Odell.
The large medical ward was suddenly filled with silence.
Odell leaned back against the bed, his cold eyes staring out the window.
Soon, Cliff entered the
room.
He brought a few documents and relayed several reports to Odell.
After he was done with the report, he asked in a low voice,”Sir, do you have any other orders?”
Odell said in a sharp voice,”What’s the situation with her?”
A whole day had already passed. What on earth could she be so busy with that she still had not come to see him?!
Observing Odell’s expression, Cliff answered cautiously,“Two of our men have been assigned to keep an eye on Miss Sylvia. She took a two-hour nap after lunch. Then after she woke up, she just sat on the balcony and sort of zoned out for a while. She watched some television after that and went off to get dinner at a restaurant nearby before heading back to her place
again.”
As Cliff went on, his voice gradually
grew softer.
The ward seemed to become quieter while the temperature inside seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
The face of the man on the bed became darker as he asked, “ That’s all she did today?”
“Yes, nothing else.”
“Is she a
pig?”
Even pigs were more productive
than her!
If she had that much time to laze about at home, why could not she take a taxi and come to visit him at least?
Cliff spoke softly,”Should I contact her? I can ask her
to come.” Odell glared at him venomously,”Do I look like I want to see her?”
Cliff stammered “No… No, you
don’t.”
.
Odell picked up the book again and
continued to read.
Underneath the ceiling lights, his handsome face looked quite ominous.
Cliff suddenly added,”Sir, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. Don’t you want to sort out your discharge from the hospital first?”
Odell glared at him coldly,”Get out
of here.”
Cliff obliged and hurriedly scrambled
away.
The next day, Sylvia slept until she woke up naturally.
She was all alone at home. After having breakfast,
she went to work putting up decorations on the windows and the door to
celebrate the New Year. Having done all that, she went back to the couch.
Today was New Year’s Eve and after midnight, it would be the commencement of a new year.
She took out her phone and pulled up Aunt Tonya’s contact number before proceeding to call her.
As before, the phone on the other end still seemed to have been turned off.
She tightened her grip on the
phone.
It was no big deal, she could wait a little
longer.
Westchester
Hospital.
Lily went to see Odell after breakfast but ended up being denied entry by Cliff.
Cliff stated politely,”Miss Lily, Master Carter has some very important matters to deal with right now. Why don’t you go back first?”
Lily frowned and asked, “What kind of important matters?”
