Chapter 1013
Joanne stared at the check in front of her, written with a handsome sum.
In the past, Sylvie often gave her a check, saying it was her pocket money. At this moment, however, it was nothing but hush money.
Joanne had quietly left with a cab under the bright moonlight.
The whole manor was well furnished, but Sylvie felt empty. All the feelings and expectations that she had for Joanne for the past few months vanished.
Kelly came back and told Sylvie that Joanne was a hypocrite after all and left without taking any money.
Sylvie sighed faintly, unable to tell whether it was more anger or more helplessness in her heart.
She could barely sleep a wink that midnight, so she got up, went to Edwin's bedroom, and turned on the light. The bright bedroom was still the same as before Joanne left with all the vintage decorations.
In fact, there was something on the nightstand.
It was the silver bracelet she gave to Joanne before.
Seeing Sylvie staring at the silver bracelet in a daze, Kelly, thinking that her heart was softening, immediately said, “Joanne said that she felt guilty, so she wanted to return this bracelet to you."
“She doesn't deserve a nice silver bracelet, then." Sylvie took back the silver bracelet, feeling a flash of disgust.
Edwin was photographed entering the hospital late at night, and the news spread quickly.
Sylvie also saw the news.
So, members of the Atherton family went to the hospital to visit Edwin one after another.
Edwin waited for a long time, but Joanne did not show up at the end of the day. Instead, Noah came to the hospital every day and was very attentive when it came to taking care of Edwin.
Still, Noah did not dare to meet Harry, so she deliberately avoided the Atherton family whenever they visited.
On the third day, Edwin insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Based on the fact that his injuries were not serious, the doctor allowed the request.
He could not wait to go back and punish his wife who literally made him wait.
However, Joanne was nowhere to be seen when he returned to the manor.
He tried to call Joanne, but her phone seemed to be turned off already. Edwin turned around and asked Kelly, "Where's Joanne?'
"Master Edwin, just leave this matter alone. The doctor said that you have a head injury and a slight concussion. You'd better rest for a few days..." advised Kelly, albeit sheepishly.
Edwin frowned. When he passed the baby's room, he saw that everything inside had been emptied.
Something was wrong, and he could feel it.
