When the car stopped in front of her place, Sylvia unfastened her seat belt and moved to leave the car.
“Don’t let me catch you there again, or I will really destroy him,” he said as he shot a gloomy gaze at
her. Sylvia’s eyes shifted slightly before she got out of the car and ran into her house.
That night, Sylvia could not sleep at all. She rolled around on her bed as she struggled to sleep.
It was not until midnight that she finally received a text back from Sherry.
“Syl, I found out that Thomas was admitted into a private hospital in the suburbs. He’s a little
weakened, dehydrated and has some superficial injuries, but nothing serious. He was discharged this
evening.”
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. However, the thought of Thomas being imprisoned again made her
heart sink She had to come up with a way to save him and take him away from Westchester. After
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanother hour of struggling to sleep, she got up to approach the window and had a peek at Odell’s
house.
She made sure his lights had been switched off before she snuck out of the house.
Two hours later, she arrived at Thomas’ villa again. This time around, she skipped the main entrance
and the side entrance, which she had tried earlier that day, and went straight to the inconspicuous wall.
She had brought Isabel here before when she had lived here with Aunt Tonya and the kids.
The walls were not very high and there were some rocks that she could step on at the side. It was
inconspicuous enough for her to avoid the bodyguards.
She easily climbed over the wall and realized that there was no one around.
She arched her back and tiptoed along the wall to the front of the house.
The bodyguards had been stationed at the front, so Sylvia climbed into the house through the window
and made her way to Thomas’ room.
The door was unlocked, so she opened it quietly.
The lights were on inside and she saw Thomas’ thin figure sitting by the window, seemingly lost in
thought. His thin face added to his melancholic look.
Sylvia snuck inside and closed the door.
Thomas heard the sound at the door and turned around to find Sylvia there. His gaze shifted as he
furrowed his brows and said, “What are you doing here at this hour? Shouldn’t you be at
home now?”
“I’m here to save you,” said Sylvia as she went up to him and held his hand.
Thomas did not stand up. “I can’t leave. Go back, and don’t let Odell find out you’re here.” “I know how
to get us out of here without being noticed. It’s not too late. Come on, follow me,” said Sylvia as she
tried to tug him out of the chair.
Thomas remained seated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia exerted more strength to tug him out of the chair. She managed to get Thomas up but she had
overestimated her strength and accidentally caused him to knock a vase off the table that was next to
him.
The vase fell and shattered on the floor.
The noise sounded extremely clear in the quiet night and seemed to echo throughout the entire villa
Horrified, Sylvia immediately got up and hid behind the curtains.
As expected, a bodyguard came in a few seconds later and scanned the room. He asked,” Second
Master, what happened to the vase?”
Thomas was already back in his seat when the bodyguard came in. He looked at the bodyguard coldly
and said, “I smashed it because I was angry.” The bodyguard gave an awkward chuckle. “It’s late.
Please get some rest.”
The bodyguard’ then closed the door and left.
The room returned to silence after a while, Thomas looked in the direction of the curtains and said with
a smile, “He’s gone. You can come out now.”
