He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 18

Chase’s expression turned lethal. He lifted his leg and kicked her squarely in the chest.

Argh!”

The knife flew from her hand. Lyla slammed into the wall and crumpled to the floor, coughing up blood.

Chase glared at his bodyguards. “Is this how you do your job?”

The bodyguards were shaken, they hadn’t expected Lyla to snap like that.

They realized they had underestimated her craziness.

urious, they rushed forward and kicked Lyla repeatedly.

yla curled into a ball, sobbing and begging, “Stop! Stop hitting me! I’m sorry! Please stop…”

When she was barely breathing, Chase waved his hand to stop them. He ordered coldly, “Take her to the police. Call the lawyers. I

vant this woman to rot in prison for the rest of her life!”

Hearing this, Lyla panicked.

No! Please no!”

I was wrong! Please let me go! I swear I’ll disappear! You’ll never see me again! Please…”

She dropped to her knees and started banging her head on the floor in front of Sylvia.

Look, Ford loves you, and this guy treats you so well too! I can’t compete! Please, just let me go! I won’t do it again, I swear…”

inot and tears ran down her face as she looked up with pleading eyes, appearing utterly pathetic.

¡ylvia watched her blankly, then smirked with contempt. “Where was this remorse when you were trying to kill me?”

I remember every single vicious thing you did to me.”

Lyla, everything I have, I earned with my own hard work and integrity. I didn’t just see something I wanted and hurt people to steal

t like you!”

You did the crime, now do the time!”

Chase gave a signal, and the bodyguards dragged Lyla away.

Sylvia and Chase waited outside the OR for a long time until the light finally turned off.

After a while, the doctor walked out, looking exhausted.

Seeing Sylvia and Chase, he sighed. “Lucky. The rebar missed the vital organs. His life isn’t in danger.”

Sylvia watched the doctor’s face, her heart tightening. “If he’s not in danger, why do you look so grim?”

The doctor looked at Sylvia and said softly, “The injury isn’t fatal, but during the exam, we discovered he has stomach cancer. It’s

erminal.”

Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock, her voice shaking. “Stomach cancer?!”

ord was soon transferred to a regular ward.

Sylvia sat in the room for a long time before Ford slowly woke up.
