Chapter 1249 Sherry leaned against the headboard and played some games on the phone to kill time.
After roughly twenty minutes, she heard footsteps clacking down the corridor.
Shortly after that, Isabel appeared in a red sweater, lugging a suitcase behind her as she paddled into t
he room. She greeted Sherry with bright enthusiasm, “Aunt Sherry, here I am!”
Sherry was very surprised to see her.
She never expected Sylvia to send her darling daughter to keep her company.
After Isabel entered, she threw open her suitcase and
revealed its contents. There was not a single piece of clothing or any kind of travel essentials. Instead, i
t was filled to the brim with all sorts of snacks as well as a tablet which she planned to watch shows wit
h.
The mischievous girl took the tablet and grabbed another handful of
snacks before plopping herself on the bed and crawling next to Sherry.
Sherry was struck speechless.
Isabel was not done yet.
She carried a small tray on the bed where she laid out the snacks, then she dragged a trash can next t
o the bed. After that was done, she turned on the tablet, turned on a popular drama, and turned to Sher
ry. “Aunt Sherry, this show is pretty popular lately. Do you like it?“.
Sherry was dumbfounded, “Yeah, I like it.”
Isabel asked like a generous host, “Do you like these snacks? If you don‘t like them, I’ll ask Uncle Ben t
o buy something else.”
Sherry chuckled happily. “It‘s fine, I‘m not a picky eater, I do like them.”
Isabel smiled tenderly, her eyes curved like a pair of crescent moons. “Then it‘s
time to binge this show!”
“Sure.”

The ward that was once quiet
and stuffy was now filled with the sounds emitted from the tablet as well as the constant crunching nois
es made by Isabel eating snacks Sherry
could feel her nerves slowly unwinding. She lifted her uninjured hand and
opened a pack of snacks, then cast off all the worries in her mind, and turned her attention to the show.
It was the weekend, Odell was at home all day.

Sylvia had
just come back from the hospital. She walked into the living room and saw Odell sitting on the couch wi
th Flint.
Liam was seated on the other side of the couch with a book in hand.
Upon her return, the pair of father and son turned to look at her.
“Mom…” Flint put his hands out and asked for a hug.
Sylvia smiled and swiftly took Flint into her arms.
Sebastian suddenly trotted into the living room with an urgent message for them. “Master, Madam, it‘s
Master Stockton. He‘s waiting outside and says that he‘s here to pay you two a visit.”
Sylvia made a look and remarked with a sneer, “That was fast.”
Odell got up and gently patted Sylvia on the head. Then he turned to Sebastian. “Is he alone?”
“Yes, his driver is inside the car.”
“Alright, let him in.”
Sebastian went to the entrance.
Sylvia frowned, then she put Flint back into Odell‘s arms.
Odell looked at her. “What‘s your plan?”
“Just look after Flint, I‘ll deal with him.” Sylvia rolled up her sleeves as she spoke as if a combatant prep

Odell narrowed the look in his eyes and observed his wife with a proud and affectionate smile.
Liam, who was on the couch
the entire time, noticed as well. He set the book down and walked to Odell.
Sylvia went outside and prepared to confront John.
As soon as she stepped out of the living room, she saw a tall and slender figure headed toward her.
John was wearing a gray coat with a pair of dark trousers. His signature gold–
rimmed glasses glared underneath the light. He flashed a coy and gentlemanly smile, the same smile th
Sylvia asked without friendliness, “Master Stockton, what are you doing
here instead of Glanchester where you belong?”
