Sylvia lay down again after Lily left. She pulled the quilt over her head to block the sunlight from shining
into the room.
Meanwhile , Lily stepped out and immediately ran into Odell who was next to the doorway.
His tall and lanky figure was leaning against the wall next to the door, and there was a distinctly dark
look on his handsome face.
Lily took a step back, startled by the sight of him. “Odell? Why are you here?”
Odell glared at her with mild contempt. “I should be asking you the same question.”
A look of panic flashed across Lily’s face, then she promptly explained, “I’m sorry, I should have told
you before I came. You didn’t reply to my message last night, and I became concerned that something
bad happened to you, so I got in touch with your driver. That’s how I found out that you brought Miss
Sylvia here, so I figured I’d come to visit her as well.”
“You came to visit her?” There was a tint of ice in his voice, and his current expression seemed almost
demonic.
It was a world’s difference from his usual mild and

indifferent temperament. This was the first time Lily had seen him in such a foul mood.
She had a gut feeling that she was not the true reason for Odell being so upset. After all, she had only
come to make a statement and never said anything particularly nasty or hurtful to Sylvia.
With that said, she was still feeling particularly unnerved and apologized, “I’m sorry, maybe I acted
selfishly, but I never held any ill will against her.” “Keep it to yourself. I’m not interested in you.” Lily’s
expression transformed. This was the first time in her life that a man was telling her straight to her face
that she did not interest him. It was especially worse considering it came from a man that she was

She was a Springsteen! Numerous men would do everything in their power to have a chance with her!
How could he say such things to her?
She frowned and stated, “Odell, don’t you think it’s very hurtful for you to say that?”
Odell pursed his lips and ignored her.
Lily promptly walked past him and stormed down the hallway. After she vanished, the hallway was filled
with silence.
The man wore the same intense look on his face. When he

looked at the woman in the ward who was wrapped in a thick quilt, the look in his eyes darkened
momentarily.
Their divorce was something he could live with, but why would she even promise Lily that she would
not step in between the two of them?
How much contempt could Sylvia have for him to want to draw such clear boundaries with him?
Was she still thinking about Thomas who dumped her?
Sylvia was discharged after two days in the hospital.
It was not because she disliked the hospital but because she missed Isabel and Liam. She could not
wait to hear their familiar voices.
Upon returning to her house that afternoon, she immediately moved her chair to the wall connected to
the next house and sat there, listening patiently for any signs of movement.
Even after an hour had passed, she could not hear the children’s voices. In fact, she could not even

It was so quiet as if the next house was abandoned.
longer, Sylvia decided she had enough. She rose and

walked outside.
She looked at the next house. There was not a single person around the gate, not even the
bodyguards that were usually posted there.
She stepped in front of the gate and tried to peer inside through the gaps. The yard was empty, and the
door leading to the living room was closed. Not a single person could be seen.
She raised her hand to ring the doorbell.
The doorbell seemed to echo and drone on endlessly, but nobody emerged from the house. It seemed
like the house was empty.
Everything was fine before she went to the hospital , so what suddenly changed? Why was there
nobody at home?
She immediately took out her phone and called Odell. It only rang once before the call got
disconnected. Sylvia frowned and send him a message after pondering over it for a while. She asked
him, “Hey, have you moved out? Why is there no one home?”
