Chapter 448
Isabel asked suspiciously, "Is Great-grandma sleeping?"
Liam said, "It doesn't look like it."
"Then why is she closing her eyes and ignoring us?"
Liam looked at the door.
Isabel also looked over.
There, Aunt Tonya and Sebastian walked in, looking at them with a complicated gaze.
Isabel could not understand their expressions and cocked her head in confusion.
Liam asked directly, "Is Great-grandma sick?"
Aunt Tonya lowered her head.
Sebastian sighed and said, "Yes."
"What kind of sickness is it?"
Sebastian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the technical term. I just know that

Isabel tilted her head again. "What kind of sickness makes a person sleep for a long time?"
She still could not understand, but Liam suddenly said, "Great grandma became a vegetable."
Isabel’s little face changed.
She knew about vegetative people. She saw many people on TV who became vegetables and
never woke up.
She immediately looked at Sebastian. "How did Great-grandma become a vegetable?"
Sebastian pursed his lips.
He could not tell them that Madam Carter's condition had something to do with their mother.
The atmosphere in the room became depressing.
Isabel’s lips trembled as she started to cry.
She felt upset when she thought that their Great-grandma who doted on them the most would
never wake up again, and she felt even worse when she thought that her mother would never
come back.
She wailed. "Great-grandma became a vegetable, and Mommy left because she was angry at
Baddie. Liam and I are going to be unwanted orphans..."
Her voice was hoarse from crying and sounded heartbreaking to hear.
Sebastian, Aunt Tonya, and Violet's expression fell at her words. They knew that the children still
had Odell as their father and were not orphans, but they did not know how to coax the children.
That was because their mother would probably never come back.
Behind them stood Odell, who had just rushed back.
His tall figure stood straight, and his handsome face was as if shrouded in a layer of frost, cold
and stiff.
Meanwhile, in a high-end hospital hundreds of miles from Westchester City.
In the quiet single ward, Sylvia, who had been unconscious for several days on the hospital bed,
opened her eyes.
Her mind was still a bit chaotic, and her vision was a little blurry.
She faintly heard someone cry, "The patient is awake!"
She froze.
'Didn't I fall into the lake?

Soon, a familiar face appeared in her sight.
Sylvia blinked and saw the person clearly.
"Thomas?"
The young man stood beside her bed, the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. "It's me."
Sylvia asked, "I'm not dead?"
"Yes, you're still alive."
She immediately tried to sit up.
However, a stabbing sensation came from her left calf, and she hissed in pain before lying back
down.
Thomas said, "Your leg is still injured, so don't move about."
Sylvia nodded.
She felt it.
Her calf hurt, but it also told her that she was alive!
After a while, she regained her composure and asked, "Did you save me again?"
A few years ago, after she fell for Tara's scheme and was awarded sixty slaps by Odell and
forced to leave Westchester City, it was because she met Thomas that Aunt Tonya and her got
through the crisis of poverty. He was also the one who introduced her to Simon, and with
Simon's help, Sunflower finally made her mark in the world.
