Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 138

Sylvia didn’t spare a glance at the fallen Edgar on the ground. Instead, she warned Yvonne in a cold voice.

“Yvonne, this is the last time! Go back and take care of Mia. From now on, if you two don’t behave, I'll hold your

precious son responsible for all the consequences! You can try and see how long your son, with his current

physical condition, can endure your torment!”

“No! It won't happen again! | absolutely won't let it happen again!” Yvonne's face turned pale as she shook her

head continuously.

Seeing that her momentum had indeed diminished significantly, Sylvia instructed Seventeen to escort

Yvonne back to the old residence.

After Yvonne left, Eleven hurriedly went to check Edgar's condition. “Miss, Mr. Fallen has fainted! His breathing is

getting weaker!”

What? Breathing getting weaker?

Sylvia's eyes trembled. “Quick! Fifteen, go and call the doctor!”

“Alright! I'll go right away!”

Upon receiving the command, Fifteen immediately rushed out of the door.

Sylvia then instructed Eleven and Eighteen to help Edgar back to the room and put a hot water bottle to warm

his body. Thinking about the freezing cold water that was poured on him and looking at the helpless Eighteen by

her side, Sylvia becextremely angry.

“Eighteen, you're suspended for a year, and half of your salary will be deducted! Get out!”

Eighteen wanted to plead, but Eleven signaled him with his eyes, telling him not to make matters worse.

Sylvia ignored him and focused on observing Edgar’s condition. Despite using the hot water bottle, Edgar's body

was still icy cold, and his face was pale without a trace of color, as if his life was gradually slipping away.

“Why hasn't Fifteen cback yet?”

Sylvia checked Edgar's breathing, which was truly feeble. If they continued to wait, by the tFifteen returned,

she feared that he might have already passed away!

She lifted the blanket and helped the person on the bed sit up, while Eleven rushed forward to assist.

“Eighteen, cand carry him downstairs. Eleven, go bring the car out. We're going to the hospital!”

“Yes, Miss!”

Eighteen, who had just reached the door, instantly becenergized. He immediately carried Edgar on his back,

while Sylvia supported from behind to prevent Edgar from falling.

After placing him in the back seat of the car, Eleven quickly started the engine and drove off. Eighteen sat in the

passenger seat, while Sylvia sat in the back seat with Edgar's head resting on her lap.

Edgar lay peacefully in her embrace. She touched his pale face, which had almost no warmth. If she didn’t know

that he still had a faint breath, she would have thought that he was already dead.

“Edgar, you're not allowed to die! As long as your debt is not fully paid, you'll oweforever! If you dare

to die, I'll bury the entire Fallen family with you!”

She practically shouted these words!

Eleven and Eighteen in front trembled in fear. Truly provoking her would lead to her doing such ruthless

things.

Edgar, lying on her lap, seemed to have heard her words. He suddenly coughed violently, a cough that tore at

the heart, but he remained unconscious.

Sylvia patted his back to help him breathe.

At least there was sresponse. He shouldn't die. “Eleven, drive faster!”

Eleven increased the speed, running multiple red lights along the way, finally arriving at the hospital. After Edgar

was taken into the emergency room, Sylvia sat in the waiting room with a complex mood.

Just now in the car, she had almost lost control of her emotions. When she discovered the drug he had prepared

last night, she truly wanted to kill him. But when she saw him being tortured to the brink of

death, she panicked.

But why should she panic? Wasn't he more ruthless when he let someone kill her for Nancy? Originally, after

their divorce, she intended for them to go their separate ways and be strangers for the rest of their

lives.

However, Mia, Yvonne, and Nancy repeatedly harmed her, and now Edgar cto provoke her, even coming to

kill her for Nancy. None of these people wanted her to live a peaceful life.

She wasn’t the kind of person who would turn the other cheek and not fight back. So was it wrong for her to

make them pay the price they deserved?

Lost in her thoughts, Eleven finished a phone call and reported to her, “Miss, your assistant, Beth, said

Sylvia glanced at the still lit light in the emergency room and didn’t respond immediatsby Benda hay, Eighteen

“Miss, this tit’s my fault. | was foolish and almost harmed Mr. Fallen Fm willing to stay at the hospital to take

Sylvia thought for a moment. “Alright, you stay here. Informif there's any news about him. Eleven, let's go.”

After saying that, she hurriedly left the hospital with Eleven and went straight to Angle.

Having been delayed for two days due to the troublesmatter caused by Yvonne, Systa still kaders finalized

the final plan for her variety show. As soon as she sat back in her office, she busted herself focusing all her

attention on work.

By 8 p.m., all the employees had left, but the lights in her office were still on. Patric, knowing that she was

working overtime, specifically cdown from the top floor to check on her.

“Little girl, it's late. Let's leave the plan for tomorrow. There are still several days left before the final live

Sylvia softly murmured in response, her hands still typing without stopping

Patric knew he couldn't persuade her, so he sighed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed

that her complexion wasn’t too good.

“Little girl, have you been sick recently? Why is your face so pale?”

Sylvia's hands paused. She remembered that she had soaked in cold water for half the night last night, probably

the reason for her pale complexion.

“I'm fine. Third Brother, go on with your work. Ill finish up here and go back.”

“Alright.”

Patric’s expression becserious. How could he not understand his little sister? Just a slight shift of her eyes,

and he knew that there must be something more to this matter. When Eleven was called in for a separate

“Third Young Master, please spare me! | really didn’t know. It might be because Miss has been... busy with work

these past few days, often staying up late.”

Eleven felt tormented being caught in the middle.

Seeing his pained expression, Patric didn’t continue probing.

“Fine, you continue to protect Miss’s safety. Especially keep an eye on that kid Edgar. If he dares to harm our

little girl again, whether she agrees or not, | will make sure he’s done for. Got it?”

“Yes, Third Young Master.”

That night, Sylvia didn’t return to the Bay Villa. She planned to pull an all-nighter in her office.

Eleven knocked on the door and entered.

“Miss, Mr. Fallen was transferred from the emergency room to a regular ward an hour ago. He's awake now. Do

you want to go and see him?”

Sylvia's typing hand hesitated for a moment.

“No need, let Eighteen take care of him once he’s awake. When he recovers, send him back to the Bay

Villa.”

“But...”

Eleven didn’t leave and looked troubled.

Sylvia was puzzled. “What’s wrong? Wasn't | clear enough?”

“It's not that. After Mr. Fallen woke up, he refused to let the nurses give him an IV drip, no matter how we tried to

persuade him.”

Sylvia was speechless. “He's just a patient now. Can't you handle a weak man? He refuses, so you just let him

be? Can't you restrain him if necessary?”

Eleven: “..."

He couldn't respond to that.

Was their Miss really so straightforward and rough in her actions?
