Chapter 818
Sylvia called Isabel
when she reached home.
The little girl called out affectionately the moment the call. connected,“Mommy!”
She seemed to be in a much better mood compared to that morning when she called to ask if her
father was going to survive.
Sylvia smiled and asked,”Isabel, did Uncle Sebastian tell you how your father is doing?”
“He did, he says that the big baddie has woken up and only needs a few days of rest to recover from
his injury.”
Liam’s voice followed afterward,“Mommy, we’re going
to the hospital to see Dad later. Do you want to go too?”
Sylvia instantly recalled encountering Lily that afternoon.
She was probably by Odell’s
side now.
After thinking about it, she answered,”You kids can go. I won’t be joining you.”
Liam did not
speak.
Isabel whispered in reply,
“Okay.”
Sylvia chatted with them for a while before hanging up.
By this point, she was starving and the child in her tummy seemed to be kicking her to remind her to
feed them both.
She went into the kitchen to get some
food.
After filling her stomach, she got bored and watched some television to pass the time.
It did not take long before she eventually fell asleep on the couch.
Westchester Hospital, inside Odell’s
ward.
The lunch that was served was an exquisite full-course meal.
However, after only taking a few bites, he became irritated and had the nurse take the rest of the food
away.
Then, he heard someone knocking on
the door.
His eyes gleamed as he rapidly turned to see who it was.
e
Unfortunately, all he saw was that Lily had come back to see him again.
The light in his eyes dimmed. He picked up the book beside his pillow and began reading while
speaking
without directly looking at Lily, “I don’t need you to take care of me, you can go back.”

“I know you don’t need to be taken care of, but you must be bored being here all by yourself. I figured
I’d come sit with you since I don’t have anything to do anyway.” She said with a smile.
“I’m not
bored.”
The smile on Lily’s face
froze.
After a while, she stated, “Well, as I said, I don’t have anything to

3/4
do
anyway.”
She put some health supplements on the table next to the bed, before sitting down on a nearby couch.
“Hey, can I borrow you a book to read?” She
asked while gesturing at the books stacked on the table.
Odell looked at the book in his hand and answered, “Do what you want.”
Lily picked out a book and read it.
There was nothing but a deep silence inside the ward.
About half an hour later, a stampede of footsteps suddenly tore through the silence.
Odell’s expression changed. He then quickly set down the book and looked out the door.
A few seconds later, Isabel’s chubby little figure came rushing in. She barely even noticed Lily as she
ran straight to Odell.
It was only when she threw herself onto the bed that Liam walked in from outside, followed by
Sebastian. The quiet ward suddenly became very lively.
Isabel wrapped herself around Odell’s uninjured arm while staring at his other bandaged arm and
asked,“Hey,
Baddie, does’ it still hurt?”
Odell took her into his arms and said tenderly, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Then, he darted his eyes past Liam and
Sebastian to look outside the door.
There was nobody else in the
corridor.
He asked,”It’s just you
guys?”
Isabel answered,“There’s Uncle Jacob too. He went to park the
car.”
Odell’s eyes went cold and he stayed
silent.
Just then, Lily, who was sitting on the sofa, got up and approached them.
“Hello, Young Master and Young Miss.” She greeted Isabel and Liam with a smile. It was only then that
Liam and Isabel finally noticed her.
