Chapter 430
Sylvia suddenly noticed that the light in her bedroom had been turned on and her curtains were closed.
She quickly turned the light off before opening the curtains.
Bright sunlight poured into the room, illuminating Sylvia and her desk.
She looked out the window to see the view and felt herself relax greatly.
Then, she lowered her head and continued with her carving.
Her desk had been placed directly in front of a window so she could see into the courtyard downstairs
merely by lifting her head.
Soon, a slender figure that had entered the courtyard through the living room caught her attention
through the corner of her eye.
She quickly lifted her head to look.
The man was wearing a loose gray shirt and long pants.
His figure was slender and lean, and he walked with a graceful air about him.
His appearance was like a prince of a romance novel, only that he seemed to emanate a melancholic
aura.
Perhaps because he felt Sylvia’s eyes on him, he suddenly stopped and lifted his head to look in
Sylvia’s direction.
His soft and slightly-curled fringe was lifted by a passing breeze, revealing his fair yet cold face.His cold
eyes were looking straight in Sylvia’s direction.However, he only spared her a single glance before he
turned around and walked out the gate.Sylvia guessed that he must not have seen her.Sylvia’s
thoughts did not dwell on the man and she went back to her carving.Then, her bedroom door opened
and Odell walked in.Although Sylvia had her back to the door and did not see him enter, she could
immediately tell it was him through his footsteps.She quickly put her carvings into the desk
drawer.Odell immediately noticed what she had done.He frowned and his expression turned sour.He
had merely wanted to come and see her, yet it was obvious that she was being cautious around
him.Odell quickly walked to Sylvia’s side. Acting as if he had not seen what she had just done, he
asked, “What did you just put away?”Sylvia coldly replied, “Nothing.”
Odell grew even angrier at her emotionless reaction. He moved out of the way and subsequently
opened the drawer.In the drawer were Sylvia’s completed wood carvings.Besides a wooden Rubik’s
cube and a wooden crown, there were also a few other things.However, what grabbed Odell’s attention
the most was a “ red” rose.Each petal on the rose was bright red in color and had obviously been
stained with blood!Odell’s expression turned frigid. With the rose in his grip, he asked Sylvia, “Where
did the blood on this come from?”Sylvia knit her eyebrows tightly but did not answer.He stared at her
coldly. “I’ll ask you again, where did the blood on this come from?”Sylvia assumed that Odell thought
she had done something wrong, so she replied, “It’s my blood.”Odell immediately grabbed her hands to
take a look.
On her hands which were full of calluses, he could see two freshly-healed wounds.One was on the
back of her right hand, and the other was on the fingertip of her left hand’s index finger.The wounds did
not seem shallow at all.His dark expression instantly grew darker.The next moment, he threw the
blood-stained rose onto the floor before stepping on it forcefully.Crack!The red rose was instantly
smashed to pieces.Sylvia’s face went pale. She angrily shouted at him, “Odell Carter, are you out of
your mind? I didn’t even use your blood! Why are you so mad?”Odell grabbed her by the chin and
threatened coldly, “ If I ever see you carve wood again, I’ll destroy everything else too!”With that said,
he then turned around and left.Sylvia was so outraged that she felt as if she could beat him to death.
However, as soon as she stood up, a sharp pain pierced through her left calf, forcing her to sit back
down in her wheelchair.However, she could not resist throwing a wood block in the direction that he
had just left in.Bang!Odell was long gone by now so the wood block fell heavily onto the floor.Sylvia’s
eyes were rimmed red with anger. “Odell Carter, you b*stard!”
