Chapter 91
Back in his office, Darrion could not shake off the annoyance he felt, so he gave Justus a
call.
“Mr. Walls, when can we meet? I’d like to discuss the proposal you brought up the other
day. After thinking it through, I think it’s an excellent idea!”
After he hung up, his eyes shone with contempt.
He thought. “If you’re going to be so ruthless, don’t blame me for returning the favor,
Silvia Pond!”
When Silvia returned to the mansion after work, she found Neil reading some documents
in the living room.
After he heard the door open, he set them aside and turned his attention to her. “The
housekeeper has prepared dinner. Let’s eat.”
Silvia sat opposite him with a cold expression. “Before that, can you explain why you
asked me to help you bathe last night when you were perfectly capable of doing it
yourself?”
Neil maintained his composure and met her gaze calmly. “It’s true that I can shower on my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtown, but it’s more convenient with your help. Besides, you’re my wife. There’s nothing
wrong with asking my wife to help me with a bath.”
“I won’t help you anymore!” Silvia said coldly.
Noticing that her ears had turned red, Neil smiled and said, “Okay.”
After dinner, Silvia cleaned the dining table and washed some fruits. Then, she headed to
the living room so that she could eat them while she watched TV.
She frowned when she saw Neil sitting beside her. She wondered if he had nothing better
to do.
After a while of watching TV, Neil started to get a bit bored. When he saw that Silvia was
completely absorbed in the show, he asked, “Is it that interesting?”
“If you don’t enjoy it, you can return to the study or do something else.”
Her indifference left him somewhat displeased. He was about to speak when the doorbell
suddenly rang.
Silvia answered the door and was surprised to see David as well as Ryan. Both of them
looked tired.
“Are you here to visit Mr. Remus?”
David and Ryan did not expect to see Silvia at the mansion. After they exchanged glances,
David said with a smile, “Yes, we hope we didn’t disturb you.”
“No, not at all. Come in.”
Silvia led them to the living room and left to prepare some tea.
David and Ryan sat on the couch with a look of concern.
Neil, on the other hand, wore a cold expression. “Quit looking at me like that. I’m not
dead.”
David sighed and asked, “Neil, are your legs truly incurable?”
When Neil got into the car accident, David and Ryan were on a business trip abroad. They
learned of it upon their return and rushed over immediately.
“I don’t know for sure, but there probably isn’t much hope. Howard said the injury’s in the
same area as the previous one, and it’s more severe this time. It’s practically impossible
for me to stand up again.”
Seeing how relaxed he was, David frowned and said, “I’ll go abroad to seek experts in the
field. There might still be a glimmer of hope.”
Ryan, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Neil, didn’t that genius doctor, Moon, cure your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlegs? Why don’t you reach out to them?”
Neil pursed his l*ps. “We can discuss this later.”
Even though he had received treatment from Moon, he had never met the doctor.
Therefore, he did not know whether Moon was a man or a woman. Silvia was the only one
who had communicated with the doctor.
While Silvia had promised to find a solution for his legs, Neil did not have much hope.
Following a moment of silence, David suddenly said, “Neil, why does it seem like you’re
not as concerned about your legs as you were last time?”
Before Neil could respond, Silvia returned with two cups of tea.
She placed them in front of David and Ryan and nonchalantly said, “I’m going back to my
room. Call me if you need anything.”
After Silvia left, Neil said with an impassive expression, “When the accident happened, I
had a feeling that things wouldn’t turn out well. I already braced myself for the idea that I
might never walk again.’
Besides, he had no intention of divorcing Silvia. If it meant that she would always be with
him, never walking again did not seem all that terrible.
