Chapter 753
Lily read the message Odell had just sent to her phone and immediately frowned irritably.
Half an hour ago, she had texted him to ask whether he was on his way. His reply was: “Sorry,
something came up. Let’s eat next time.”
When she asked Odell what had come up so urgently, he did not reply again.
After a while, she took a deep breath and called her assistant.
Her assistant picked up within the first few rings, and she immediately ordered, “Get in touch with
Odell’s driver. Ask him where Odell has been tonight.”
The assistant hurriedly replied, “Alright, Miss, I’ll have that done right away.”
The next morning, the nurse woke Sylvia up. She got up and washed up, then she had a hearty
breakfast.
The weather was rather pleasant today, and the warm sun shone into the room through the window
slits.
The nurse watched Sylvia very closely to make sure that she would not leave the ward, so she had to
return to bed.

The sunlight shone from such an angle that it touched the edges of the bed. She stretched her back
toward the direction of the sun.
Suddenly, she heard the distinctive sound of heels clacking against the concrete floor. She turned her
head just in time to see a young woman stepping into the ward. The visitor was slender and tall. She
was dressed elegantly, and her refined taste shone through her articles of clothing. She regarded
people with her chin held high, a symbol of her prominent background, unyielding and dignified.
Wasn’t this the daughter of the Springsteens, Lily Springsteen?
Sylvia’s expression shifted. She immediately reverted to her normal posture and smiled politely at Lily.
“Miss Lily, to what do I owe this visit?”
Lily answered indifferently, “I came to see you.”
Sylvia frowned and kept the same courteous smile hanging across her lips. “Thanks.”
As Lily approached the bed, her eyes immediately darted at Sylvia’s bulging belly. She asked with a
sharp look in her eyes, “Are you pregnant?”
“Yes.”
“Who is the father?”

Sylvia tightened her hands and answered, “Not Odell.”
The look in Lily’s eyes seemed to soften, and then a contemptuous sneer took over. “Didn’t you go
abroad with the Second Master? Where is he now? Why are you by yourself?”
Sylvia lowered her head and answered, “I didn’t like it there, so I came back.”
“What about the Second Master? Didn’t he want to come back with you?”
“Yeah.”
“I see.”
Sylvia was taken aback.
Lily peered at her coldly, all while maintaining the same elegant smile and noting, “That explains why
you need another man to take you to the hospital.”
By another man, was she referring to Odell? Was she upset because Odell had brought her here last
night? Sylvia quickly explained, “Miss Lily, please don’t misunderstand . I just happened to see Odell
when I fell
on the road last night. He’s my ex-husband, so he couldn’t just ignore me and took it upon himself to
send me to the hospital.”
Lily’s expression shifted.

Don’t misunderstand ? Did Odell not tell her about their agreement concerning the engagement?
Even before the two of them got engaged, they already agreed that they would not let the world know
that they had gotten engaged under false premises until they had officially called it off. She was not
expecting Odell to not keep Sylvia in the know. Wasn’t he planning to salvage things with Sylvia? With
this in mind, she smiled and said, “So, that’s how it is. I was wondering why he stood me up.”
Odell stood her up?
Sylvia frowned and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, I won’t cause him any trouble again in the future.”
“It doesn’t matter. I know what he’s like, and I get why he’s doing this. And of course, I’m sure that you
will live up to your promise.”
Sylvia felt her chest tightening. Lily’s statement might have sounded pleasant, but she was subtly
establishing her dominance . She was Odell’s fiancée , hence she had everything right to do this.
With this in mind, Sylvia smiled and said to her, “Miss Lily, there’s nothing to worry about. There are no
longer any lingering feelings between me and Odell since our divorce. You have my word that I won’t
get in between you two.”

Lily answered with a smile, “You don’t have to give me your word. I believe that you are an upright
person. I have a meeting to attend, so I won’t be taking your time. Goodbye.”
Without waiting for Sylvia to say anything, she turned and walked out. Just as when she arrived, she
strutted out in an elegant, dignified manner. She was worlds apart from Sylvia who seemed completely
disheveled, sitting on her hospital bed.
