Chapter 828
Bathed within darkness, his figure stood tall and lean.
Even though his face was covered in darkness, it did not affect his handsome appearance in any way.
Lily was fascinated by it. She only came back to her senses after he had finished the cigarette, then she asked cautiously, “Odell, are you going to look for Sylvia?”
Odell threw the cigarette butt on the ground, “I’m not going.”
What kind of fool was he to allow himself to be strung along?
Lily saw this as a chance and suggested, “Why don’t I go on a walk with you?”
Ding!
As soon as she said this, Odell’s phone rang again.
In irritation, he pulled the phone out of his pocket.
The caller ID showed that it was Liam calling.
Why was the brat calling him this time?
After hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly put the phone to his ear, "What’s the matter?"

"Dad, if you don't come to see Mommy again, you’re not only going to lose her, but you will lose me and Isabel also.” Liam’s childlike voice was full of resentment.
Odell's eyes were cold as ice as he demanded, "You're in the hospital too? Who took you there?”
"It doesn't matter. Mommy needs you more than anything now.”
Odell clenched his phone tightly and tried to suppress the hostility in his voice, “What she needs is the father of the child in her womb, not me."
On the other side of the phone, Liam’s eyebrows twitched as he asked in a confused voice, "Didn't Aunt Tonya tell you just now? The baby inside Mommy’s tummy is yours.”
Huh!
Odell was completely bewildered by this, "What did you say?
Whose child is it?”
“Aunt Tonya said that Mommy was pregnant even before she went to Galston. It's been almost nine months since then, which means the baby is yours."
Almost nine months?
The last time he had run into her while he had been dining with Lily, hadn’t it been Sylvia herself who had claimed that it had barely been six months?
Odell stood up straight and desperately asked for further confirmation, “Repeat that again... Whose baby is it?”

Liam promptly ended the call.
Odell’s face darkened, he turned around and pulled the car door open before jumping inside.
The black car swerved out of the parking lot in an instant and zoomed down the road like a bolt of lightning.
Lily was left standing there, completely dumbfounded by
everything she had just witnessed.
Inside the delivery room.
Sylvia had no idea how she had come to the hospital. All she knew is that when she opened her eyes, she had seen a crew of doctors and nurses pacing about urgently in front of her.
All she could see was a blur of figures, perhaps due to how weak she was feeling. She could see their mouths moving as they spoke to her but she could not make out a single word of what they were saying.
She felt terrible and her stomach was throbbing so badly that she could not even muster the energy to comfort herself.
Huff.
She gasped weakly.
It hurt. Everything hurt.
She could not muster up the slightest bit of strength either.
Sigh, forget it, so be it. She should never have come back. Perhaps this child shouldn’t stay either.
She shut her eyes again.
Her consciousness became like a muddled pool as the countless memories from the past six months repeated in a chaotic order inside her mind.

When she had disregarded everything and stabbed that man to
save her child and Aunt Tonya.
The painful, grueling half-year she had spent locked up all alone in that dark castle in Galston...
It was karma that things were ending up this way.
She should have never allowed herself to be deceived by Thomas’ superficiality. She should have never trusted him at all.
She didn’t blame Odell for hating her so much.
But now, she would be going to the other world with her unborn child. Odell would never have to see her again and be upset by the sight of her. Then he could happily spend the rest of his days with Lily...
She was fading away.
Just as she thought that the sweet embrace of death would take her away for once and for all, she suddenly felt an intense grip on her arms.
She heard a familiar voice, "...Sylvia, Sylvia, wake up, wake up!"
She felt someone shaking her violently.
Was it him?
No, it could not be, he had even refused to answer her call. How could he be here now?
She continued to drift off to sleep and sink further into the darkness.
There was yet another vigorous shake that nearly threw her off the bed, as she heard a deep roar, "I told you to wake up! Are you deaf? If you don't open your eyes, I will let you never see Isabel and Liam again! I’ll make sure you never see them again even if you die!”
