Chapter 818
Sylvia called Isabel when she reached home.
The little girl called out affectionately the moment the call connected, “Mommy!"
She seemed to be in a much better mood compared to that morning when she called to ask if her father was going to survive.
Sylvia smiled and asked, “Isabel, did Uncle Sebastian tell you how your father is doing?”
“He did, he says that the big baddie has woken up and only needs a few days of rest to recover from his injury.”
Liam’s voice followed afterward, “Mommy, we’re going to the hospital to see Dad later. Do you want to go too?"
Sylvia instantly recalled encountering Lily that afternoon.
She was probably by Odell's side now.
After thinking about it, she answered, “You kids can go. I won’t be joining you.”
Liam did not speak.
Isabel whispered in reply, "Okay."
Sylvia chatted with them for a while before hanging up.
By this point, she was starving and the child in her tummy seemed to be kicking her to remind her to feed them both.

After filling her stomach, she got bored and watched some television to pass the time.
It did not take long before she eventually fell asleep on the couch.
Westchester Hospital, inside Odell's ward.
The lunch that was served was an exquisite full-course meal.
However, after only taking a few bites, he became irritated and had the nurse take the rest of the food away.
Then, he heard someone knocking on the door.
His eyes gleamed as he rapidly turned to see who it was.
Unfortunately, all he saw was that Lily had come back to see him again.
The light in his eyes dimmed. He picked up the book beside his pillow and began reading while speaking without directly looking
at Lily, "I don't need you to take care of me, you can go back."
"I know you don't need to be taken care of, but you must be bored being here all by yourself. I figured I’d come sit with you since
I don’t have anything to do anyway.” She said with a smile.
"I'm not bored."
The smile on Lily's face froze.
After a while, she stated, “Well, as I said, I don’t have anything to do anyway.”
She put some health supplements on the table next to the bed, before sitting down on a nearby couch.
“Hey, can I borrow you a book to read?" She asked while gesturing at the books stacked on the table.
Odell looked at the book in his hand and answered, “Do what you want.”
Lily picked out a book and read it.
There was nothing but a deep silence inside the ward.
About half an hour later, a stampede of footsteps suddenly tore through the silence.
Odell's expression changed. He then quickly set down the book and looked out the door.
A few seconds later, Isabel's chubby little figure came rushing in.
She barely even noticed Lily as she ran straight to Odell.
It was only when she threw herself onto the bed that Liam walked in from outside, followed by Sebastian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe quiet ward suddenly became very lively.
Isabel wrapped herself around Odell's uninjured arm while staring at his other bandaged arm and asked, “Hey, Baddie, does it
still hurt?"
Odell took her into his arms and said tenderly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Then, he darted his eyes past Liam and Sebastian to look outside the door.
There was nobody else in the corridor.
He asked, “It’s just you guys?”
Isabel answered, “There’s Uncle Jacob too. He went to park the car.”
Odell’s eyes went cold and he stayed silent.
Just then, Lily, who was sitting on the sofa, got up and approached them.
"Hello, Young Master and Young Miss.” She greeted Isabel and Liam with a smile.
It was only then that Liam and Isabel finally noticed her.
