Chapter 1357
At the same time in a hospital in a distant city, Sylvia was sitting on the bench with a saline infusion. The
transparent tube with the needle was poked into the back of her hand.
Her brows furrowed as she leaned back feebly.
Maybe because they failed to acclimatize to the local environment, Ms. Kang, Ms. Johnson, and herself caught a
fever when they arrived yesterday. Other than the fever, there were symptoms of a cold as well.
Her head was heavy while her body felt weak and everything felt terrible. She could not even speak properly with
her coarse voice. She could not even think straight when she received a text from Flint.
In order to not expose her condition to her kids, she texted back and told them she could not talk at the moment.
To her surprise, after she put the phone down, she received a call from Aunt Tonya’s number. She did not want Aunt
Tonya to worry, so she texted back and informed the same.

She knew at first glance it was Odell. She was exhausted after arguing with him for so long, so in order to have
peace of mind, she blocked Aunt Tonya’s number to keep the man from annoying her.
The man must be exploding with anger.
However, he was at home with Aunt Tonya, Madam Carter, Sebastian, and the kids, so probably nothing would
happen.
The thought calmed her mind as she sighed and closed her eyes.
Odell stayed home for two more days.
It had been snowing in Westchester for the past two days, and similar to the snowy weather, his mind had been
blank and dizzy for as long as he still caught a cold. He did not even have the mood to take his medication.
Aunt Tonya and Sebastian took turns delivering the medicine to him, but he tossed them away.
Even the three little rascals were stopped outside the door.
It was Madam Carter who scolded some sense into him.
Only then he took two pills to treat his condition. Unfortunately, his face was still pale and his mood remained sour,
even more so when he asked Cliff and Ben
about Sylvia, and both of them informed him that they did not see Sylvia at any terminals or stops.
Evening, his mind had finally regained some clarity after being dizzy for two days. He also regained a portion of his
strength.
He called Cliff and then Ben, but he got the same reply.
“Sir, we still don’t have any news about the madam.”
Odell’s expression turned grim. He angrily kicked the little drawer by the desk to vent his expression. He then
grabbed his coat and went downstairs. He borrowed Sebastian’s phone to text Sylvia and tossed it back when he
was done.
He put on his coat, and his frosty expression was apparent as he strode outside. His towering figure soon

Meanwhile, in a city far away, Sylvia went to the hospital alone. She was still having a fever, hence the multiple
visits.
Both Ms. Johnson and Ms. Kang wanted to accompany her, but they were here for a vacation, so she did not want
them to waste time at the hospital because of her.
Her legs were weak. As soon as she sat down on the bed, she received a text on her phone.
She pulled it out and saw Sebastian’s text. “Sylvia, you’ve really done it! Don’t even bother to come back now. If
you dare to come back, I’ll show you!”
It was Odell texting her with Sebastian’s phone.
She could already picture the man’s expression when she read the text. She sighed feebly and pocketed her phone
after another glance. She could not do anything about the man’s anger right now, and she planned to go back after
she recovered.
She believed he would not do anything to her even if she really went back.
