Chapter 821
The hazy mist of cigarette smoke was dispersed by the wind.
However, the hazy, gloomy look on his face failed to be deterred by the wind.
Cliff came to stand several meters behind Odell and whispered,” Sir, Miss Lily is gone. I don’t think she will come back to bother you today.”
After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Cliff added,”Our guys just told me that Miss Sylvia just had breakfast. She then put up some decorations around the house before sitting back on the sofa and has been watching television since. It doesn’t seem like she has any plans to go out so far. Also, Sebastian just called to ask if you were going to leave the hospital today. He says that the young master and the young miss are already at home waiting for you to head home for the New Year’s celebration. Would you… Would you like me to sort out the procedures for you to be
discharged?”
Perhaps due to the cold wind blowing in from outside, he shivered involuntarily when he finished speaking.
Odell was still standing like an unmoving totem next to the window. His wounded hand hung limply by his side as he held a’ cigarette with the other hand.
A dark, oppressive aura seemed to emanate from his body, which seemed to be even colder than the wind outside. Cliff even began to feel like he was suffocating.
After not receiving a reply from Odell for a long time, he slowly withdrew from the room.
The day passed in the blink of
an eye.
Sylvia had just finished dinner when she got a call from Isabel.
The little girl immediately chattered on, asking her if she had eaten anything along with all sorts of random questions.
Sylvia answered each of her questions, except that she left out the detail that she had only eaten a bowl of noodles the entire day. Then, she asked Isabel how she and her brother were doing.
The little girl suddenly grumpily muttered,“It’s just me and brother eating at home tonight.”
Sylvia seemed mildly surprised by this,”Did your father not come home yet?”
Wasn’t it mostly just his hand that was injured ? Shouldn’t he have come home by now?
Isabel informed,“Uncle Sebastian says that the baddie is still in the hospital and that he’s not coming back yet.”
Sylvia frowned. Were his injuries more serious than she thought?
Suddenly, Isabel shouted out,”It must be an excuse! He must have gone on a date with Aunt Lily! I see this all the time on TV shows. Couples in love have to
spend the New Year together, especially since they are already engaged.”
Sylvia pursed her lips and mentioned ,“Maybe, but I’m sure he
will come back to spend time with you and your brother tomorrow.”
“Hmph, let him spend time with his new girl, we can’t be bothered to see him.”
She huffed as she spoke, clearly feeling very unhappy.
Sylvia smiled and tried to console her,“Be a good girl, Isabel. The way your dad cares about you and your brother is different from the way he cares about Aunt Lily…”
It took a long while to console the disgruntled little girl.
Then, Sylvia chatted a short while with Liam before finally wrapping up the call.
