GoodReadChapter 817
The general ward was located in a separate building.
After stepping out of the elevator, Sylvia took a shortcut and went to the other building.
Just as she was about to cross through the park to the entrance of the building, she noticed two familiar figures approaching from
another direction.
They were none other than Lily and Madam Springsteen, who had just confronted her yesterday.
She hurriedly stopped and ducked behind a tree.
Both Madam Springsteen and Lily were looking anxious.
"Grandma, what if something happens to Odell?”
“That won’t happen. I asked around and they said that he was transferred to the general ward last night. That must mean that
he’s doing fine now.”

They did not notice Sylvia at all and went into the building right away.
Sylvia quietly followed them in only after they had entered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hid around the corner and noticed that they took the elevator to the sixth floor.
It seemed like Odell was now staying in a ward on the sixth floor, and that he was no longer in a critical situation.
She felt a weight lift off her heart.
She turned around and walked out. She did not leave the hospital but hung around the vicinity of the park outside instead.
She figured that she would wait for Lily and Madam Springsteen to leave first, then she would sneak into the ward to take a look
at how things were going.
She ended up waiting the better half of the day before Lily and Madam Springsteen finally emerged from the building.
The park was only a short distance away from the entrance. The moment she saw them stepping past the entrance, she quickly
ducked behind a tree with her back to them.
They were having a conversation.
"Grandma, let’s eat something and then get you home. You’ve seen how badly injured one of his hands is and he’s having
trouble moving around. He’s going to have a lot of trouble just doing simple tasks. Even though there are nurses looking after
him, I’d still like to stay by his side and keep him company,” said Lily.
Madam Springsteen smiled and said, “Alright, you come back here after we have dinner and bring him some food. This will be a
good chance for you to bond with him.”

They walked away as they talked.
The frown on Sylvia’s face eased.
It appeared to be that he had injured one of his hands quite severely, so he was probably going to need some time before he
recovers.
The tenseness that had been lingering in her body nearly all day finally subsided. With that, she promptly left the hospital after
Madam Springsteen and Lily had gone.
Meanwhile, inside a private ward on the sixth floor of the hospital.
The man himself was sitting on the bed, one of his hands was covered in bandages and he was holding a book with the other.
His eyes darted out the door from time to time.
After a while, he could wait no longer and asked, "Is she not here yet?"
Cliff was standing by the door and whispered back to him, "No."
Odell frowned harshly, "Did she not know that I got into a car accident?"
Cliff observed the look on his face and answered back: “According to Sebastian, the young miss called Miss Sylvia first thing in
the morning when she found out that you got into an accident. I believe Miss Sylvia should be informed about your accident.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOdell's face darkened.
She knew that he was in a car accident and yet she had not come to visit him!
Hadn't she sent him a text message last night asking him to drive slower? Why was she not here yet?!
Was she not worried about him?
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy and oppressive.
Cliff shuddered and took a step back, then he probed cautiously, “ Master Carter, why don't I go to Miss Sylvia and ask her to
come to visit you?"
Odell glared at him, "Do I look like I need her sympathy?”
Cliff zipped his lips shut, afraid to utter another word.
Internally, he muttered, ‘You were the one who created this accident to get Miss Sylvia’s attention. Why are you getting angry at
me?’
The room was filled with silence.
After a while, Odell suddenly broke the silence. “Assign two men to keep an eye on her, report to me what she’s getting up to at
home.”
He would excuse her if she did not visit because she was feeling unwell.
Or perhaps she was occupied with some other matters... He would not mind if she came later, as long as she showed up.
What if she never showed up, he would...
He closed his eyes and hissed sharply, "Go!"
Cliff answered dutifully, "Yes, sir!”
