NovelEnglishChapter 696
The next morning, Sylvia headed to the kids’ room with a bag.
Inside the bag were the documents for the kids, Aunt Tonya, and her own.
Isabel and Liam had just woken up, their eyes remained puffy and blurry The girl noticed the bag on
her mother. Her mother would only take the bag when they go out to play. Her eyes widened in
excitement and got energized. “Mommy, where are we going to play today?”
Sylvia stroked the girl’s head. She said with a smile,“ We’re not going to play today. I’m bringing you to
visit your uncle at the hospital today.”
Isabel pouted. “What happened to Uncle? Why are we visiting him at the hospital?”
“His hand got hurt, but it’s no big deal. He’ll recover soon.”
“Oh, okay.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe girl was excited to see her handsome uncle again. She crawled out of bed and got ready for the
trip. Sylvia did not even need to help her get ready.
Liam also automatically got up and went into the bathroom
After breakfast, Sylvia brought the kids and Aunt Tonya into the car.
An hour later, the car finally arrived outside the hospital.
The girl was the first to get out of the car. Aunt Tonya followed her.
Maybe because today was the day that she brought the kids and Aunt Tonya away from Westchester
City, and most importantly away from Odell, her heart had been pounding wildly since the morning. She
failed to put the complex feeling in words.
She took a deep breath, held Liam’s hand tightly, and went inside the hospital.
They soon arrived at Thomas’ ward.
He was still in the same patient’s garb but had a jacket outside. He looked a lot healthier than before,
but he still looked weak.
The weakness did not dampen his outstanding looks and demeanor though.
Isabel’s eyes shone brightly from the moment she saw him.
“Uncle!” The girl ran to Thomas.
Thomas carried the girl with his right hand.
Isabel looked at his bandaged left hand and furrowed her brows. “Uncle, what happened to your
hand?”
“I got hit by a rock,” he said softly. Isabel felt terrible for him. “Is it painful?”
Thomas smiled. “It’s okay now.”
Isabel felt relieved at his assuring words.
Thomas turned to the door. He saw Aunt Tonya and then Sylvia with Liam outside the door.

Sylvia hummed a reply.
He added, “I’ve got a car ready. When are we leaving?”
Sylvia had a glance at the corridor. There was no one there, and no suspicious figures were spotted in
sight.
The wards next door were empty as well. The bodyguards that Odell arranged for her were probably
gone.
She took a deep breath and said, “Now.”
“Okay. We follow the plan.”
“Okay.”
It was then Isabel asked curiously, “Mommy, what are you guys talking about?” Liam looked up to his
mother with his puffy face, questioning her with a baffled look. “Mommy, where are you guys going?”
The question choked Sylvia.
She thought of a ton of excuses but when she faced her kids’ innocent and adorable looks, it felt
extremely difficult for her to lie to them.
