GoodReadChapter 376
The ambulance drove off in the blink of an eye. Sylvia was stunned for a moment before she started
running.
She wanted to catch up to the ambulance so that she could accompany Odell and Madam Carter to the
hospital. She had to tell him the truth!
However, before she could even shorten the distance, the ambulance disappeared beyond her sight.
She also tripped on a piece of brick and fell on the ground. The ground felt cold, and so were her
feelings. Just when she was at a loss as to what she should do, Edmund came by. He helped her up
from the ground and said, “Syl, don’t worry. I’ll send you there.” As she got to her feet, she resolved to
leave her negative emotions on the icy cold ground. “Okay!”

Sylvia ran to the parking lot with Edmund and got into his car.
The car roared to a start and drove off the resort.
Twenty minutes later, Edmund took her to the nearest first aid center.
“Syl, if I’m correct, Madam Carter should have been admitted here.”
Sylvia dashed out of the car without saying anything. After searching around for a bit, she saw Odell
standing outside the ER ward.
His towering figure stood like a monolith in front of the door with the red sign on. His brows were lightly
furrowed and he had the grimmest look on his face.
He noticed Sylvia when she came over.
His handsome facial features were clouded by anger and bitterness.
“Get out of my face.”
His voice sounded frosty
Sylvia froze. She looked at him and said, “Odell, I didn’t push Grandmother. It wasn’t me.”
Odell glared at her with the sharpest gaze.
Sylvia boldly stared back into his eyes, refusing to step back
It was then that Edmund came up the stairs
He must have overheard the brief conversation Sylvia and Odell had, so he said, “Master Carter,
please believe her. She didn’t push Madam Carter down the hill. I can vouch for her We
don’t know what caused Madam Carter to fall down the hill.”
Odell narrowed his eyes at him. “You better get out of my face right away.”
His brief warning was filled with threats. Edmund was annoyed. “What’s with that tone, Odell? I’m not

With Odell’s expression looking even frostier than before, the tension in the narrow corridor started to
rise.
Before Edmund could even finish his argument, Sylvia stopped him and said, “Thank you, Edmund.
Please give us some space.”
As Edmund frowned at her, she returned his frown with a sense of begging in her eyes.
Odell had always been prejudiced against him and his presence would only make it harder for Sylvia to
explain the situation.
Edmund sighed. He suppressed his rising annoyance and left the two alone.
The narrow corridor swiftly quieted down.
Sylvia then looked at Odell but all she saw was the icy abyss behind his deep gaze.
“You too. Get out of my face.”
