The car journeyed back to Sylvia’s place in silence. As soon as the car stopped, Aunt Tonya
immediately got out to help Sylvia out of the car. However, Odell beat her to it. Opening the other door,
he wrapped his arm around Sylvia’s waist and carried her out of the car. Sylvia glared at him.
Odell pursed his lips as he carried her inside. He carried her all the way to her room, only letting her go
when he put her down on her bed. Sylvia huffed and turned away from him.
However, even after a long time, the room remained quiet and the man did not make any move to
leave.
Annoyed, she turned to him and asked, “Why are you still here?”
With his arms crossed in front of him, he stood by the bed and gazed at her intensely. “How did you
hurt your leg?” She knew if she continued to keep quiet, he would never leave. She gulped and

“At the front door.” Odell pursed his lips and said gruffly, “Be careful next time.” Sylvia ignored him.
Odell stared at her in silence for a few moments before he went out.
Aunt Tonya was standing just outside the door. When Odell came out, she shot a cautious glare at him.
Odell was confused by her hostility.
Aunt Tonya stared at him for a few more seconds before she entered Sylvia’s room.
Without staying any longer, Odell then left Sylvia’s house and returned to his own house next door
Sebastian welcomed him back as soon as he walked through the door.
“Sir, where have you been? It’s late.”
Odell said, “I got caught up with something.” Sebastian did not question him further about it but
switched the topic instead. “Tonya came by earlier and asked me to contact Jim. She said that Madam
saw a piece of news about a car crash and she thought that it was you She got worried and asked
Tonya to look for me to confirm that you were alright.”
Odell froze. “What did you say?” Sebastian furrowed his brows and repeated what he had just said.
Odell furrowed his brows tightly and asked, “When did Aunt Tonya come over!
Sebastian glanced at his phone and said, “Two hours earlier
Two hours earlier?
Odell had met Sylvia at the hospital an hour and a half ago. It would also have taken twenty to thirty
minutes to reach the hospital in Old District irom the house Therefore, she must have hurt her leg when
she had toid Aunt Tonya to look ior Sebastian Since she had fallen down in front of the front door, could

accidentally slipped on her way out? All of a sudden, he thought of something and pulled his phone out.
There were no missed calls but there was an unread message

“Are you back yet?”
The text was from two hours ago. Since it was already late, Isabel must have already been asleep at
that time.
The little girl would have called him directly if she wanted to talk, not text him.
Therefore, it could only have been from Sylvia. He recalled the cold look that Sylvia had given him at
the hospital and the hostility that Aunt Tonya had shown him in front of Sylvia’s room.
Aller thinking about it carefully, he said to Sebastian, “Sebastian, please arrange for some men to clear
the snow in front of her yard and make sure to install anti-slip flooring on all the stairs there before
morning.”
Sebastian smiled and said, “Right away, Sir.”
He then went out to make the necessary arrangements.
Odell remained standing where he was with his phone in his hand. The text from ‘Isabel’ was sull
displayed on the phone screen,
After a long silence, a small smile appeared on his face.
“She’s as stubbom as ever.”
