Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 126

Sylvia was originally furious, but his reaction almost made her burst out laughing.

Seeing the arrogant expression on his face, as if saying, “I may have kneeled, but I'm definitely not weak,” she

coldly snorted and reprimanded, “What are you standing there for? Apply the medicine!”

Edgar quickly opened the medicine box and earnestly applied medicine to the wound in her palm. The cut wasn’t

deep, but it almost spanned the entire palm.

As a result, her originally fair and delicate hand looked somewhat hideous because of the long wound.

Edgar suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and his actions in applying medicine beceven more gentle

and cautious.

Sylvia coldly looked at the man obediently kneeling by her feet and asked, “Knowing well that you can’t kill me,

why did you still act foolishly?”

Edgar lowered his head, tightly pursing his lips without saying a word.

“Was it to vent for Mia, or did you actually believe Greg's words and think that I killed the old master?”

Edgar still remained silent, focusing on applying the medicine to her.

Sylvia observed him and took the rare opportunity to reason things out. “I won't kill the old master. He had

already contracted cancer before he died. | didn’t need to waste my efforts on killing an old man who was

already on the verge of death. You are well aware of this. So, it was for Mia, right?”

The answer to her question was the man’s silence.

Using her uninjured left hand, she hooked the man’s chin, forcing him to lift his head and look into her

eyes.

“You should understand my personality. Now that my hand is injured, Mia might be delighted, but you will have

to pay the price. Is it worth it for you to do this?”

The two words “pay the price” made Edgar's eyes slightly red. “It’s not worth it, so | regret it.”

Sylvia lowered her head and met his gaze, keenly noticing the redness in his eyes. His expression seemed

genuinely remorseful.

Was it because he felt guilty seeing her injured hand?

Or was he putting on an act for her?

As Sylvia spoke in a mocking tone, Edgar felt uncomfortable and forcefully polled his head soray from hers,

lowering his head to continue applying the medicine.

He skillfully and methodically applied the medicine without causing her any pain, and the bandaging was done

exceptionally well.

Observing his proficient technique, Sylvia asked tentatively, “You, the distinguished young mader of the Fallen

family, must have been pampered since childhood. Yvonne would definitely be heartbroken en if you had a minor

scrape. How did you becso skilled at applying medicine and Bandage

Edgar paused for a moment; his expression was neutral as he explained, “Because | was a bit mischterna when |

was young, | often got injured, so | learned how to do it.”

Sylvia knew he was just making excuses and hiding something, but she couldn't be bothered to ask further.

The room fell into silence for a while. An eerie and quiet atmosphere enveloped them.

After finishing the treatment, Edgar tactfully remained seated.

Sylvia glanced coldly at him and then looked at the bloodstains on the bed. “Wash the entire set of bedding by

hand tonight, in the backyard. Don’t go to sleep until it's done.”

“Okay.”

Edgar hardly hesitated. He kept his eyes lowered, looking obedient, which was quite out of character. But

whenever Sylvia thought about how he had snuck into her room with a knife tonight, she felt a surge of

anger.

This man was too good at hiding! Every the pretended to be obedient, it always felt like he was concealing

something wicked.

Sylvia was annoyed. She was determined to slowly erode away all his dignity and arrogance!

“It seems like sleep is out of the question!”

She turned and walked towards the door as she spoke.

Edgar swiftly grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going?”

Her tone was indifferent. “I'll just stay with Mr. Smith for a few nights.”

“No, you can’t go!” The words almost slipped out of his mouth without thinking.

Receiving Sylvia's angry gaze, he softened his tone. “What | mean is, it’s late, and it’s inconvenient for you to

bother him. Besides, it's not appropriate for the two of you to be alone.”

He disliked Patric, and Patric disliked him as well.

Perhaps it was due to a man’s possessiveness. He knew he didn’t have the right to stop her now, but he just

couldn't accept Sylvia going to see Patric.

“Let go.”

Sylvia's expression was resolute. She took another step forward, and Edgar followed suit, kneeling as he

tightened his grip on her wrist.

“Don’t go! I'm sorry, | shouldn't have hurt you. | won't do it again. Please don’t go to Patric.”

Sylvia looked down at him, her gaze unusual. After knowing him for so many years, it was the first tshe

heard him apologize.

When he knew that Sylvia had been wrongly accused by Nancy, he didn’t apologize.

When he knew that he owed her three years, he didn’t apologize either.

Even when he had just injured her with a knife, he only expressed regret and didn’t apologize. And now he

suddenly remembered to apologize. Huh!

“Your apology is too late; | won't accept it. Get lost!”

She yelled angrily and shook off his hand.

Edgar's physical condition was not the sas before, and he was easily knocked over by her.

Sylvia didn’t spare him another glance. She turned and left the villa without looking back.

Edgar didn’t chase after her. He sat on the ground in silence, not knowing what he was thinking It wasn’t until

the sound of the car's engine started that he stood up and walked to the window.

A few bodyguards got into the car after Sylvia, and with the roar of the engine, two cars sped off into the moonlit

night. With Sylvia's departure, the entire villa fell into an eerie silence.

Edgar quickly snapped out of his slightly jealous state and surveyed Sylvia's room.

The left. Did he do anything to my room?

The bodyguard answered, He changed the befdents and duvet cover for you. He took the dirty ones to the

backyard to wath, but they're not washed yet. The duvet cover grated, and be seed to bare twisted it quite

hard.”

“Other than changing the duvet cover, did he touch anything else in the room?

The bodyguard thought for a moment. “To, just when you were leaving, he stood by the window and watched for

a while.”

Sylvia pursed her lips, lost in thought. She had already left, and it was such a perfect opportunity. Yet he didn’t

do anything?

When he went to get the medicine Kit earlier, she clearly heard birds chirping. She couldn't figure out what he

was up to, but his unusual behavior at times really made it hard not to suspect something

Was it really just to repay the debt that he quickly signed the agreement?
