Chapter 284
Just as she stormed out of the lounge, Sylvia ran into Cliff.
Cliff noticed the anger on her face and he asked, “Ms. Ross, what’s wrong?”
Sylvia gave him the cold shoulder and stormed out of the building.
Cliff went after her immediately. “Ms. Ross, Master Carter should be coming back soon, please wait for
a little longer.”
“He’s with Tara. He won’t be coming back today.”
Cliff was shocked. He had not expected his boss to be with Tara at this hour.
Sylvia strode past him and left. As soon as she stepped out of the building, a chilly breeze blew onto
her face and refreshed her. She had been waiting for four hours and it had all been for nothing. It was a
good thing that she had not brought the documents, or she would have looked like an idiot.
However, on second thought, it was only normal.
It had only been a one-night stand. How could Odell give up on his perfect girlfriend over his vile and
repulsive ex-wife?
‘Sylvia, oh Sylvia, you’re still as naive as always. You’re never going to be his love. Sylvia mocked
herself with a chuckle before she left in a taxi.
Westchester Hospital.
Tara had just been transferred out of the ICU unit to a normal ward. Her face was as pale as paper as
she feebly clutched onto Odell’s arm. Her eyes were red and teary as she said, “Odell, I’m sorry. Did I
disturb you?”
Odell held back his annoyance and said in a deep voice, “I have limited patience. If you keep doing
stupid things like this, I won’t care about you anymore.” Tara had taken half a box of sleeping pills and
attempted suicide.
Odell hated people who did not cherish their own lives.
“I know. I won’t do it again.” Tears rolled down her cheeks. She continued with a sob,” Whenever I think
about you leaving me, I can’t bear it. I might as well die.”
She burst into tears again.
“Don’t cry,” he said.
His voice had an obvious sign of impatience.
From the moment she had been admitted into the hospital, he had been by her side and that had been
almost five hours ago.
He had listened to her crying for hours now and his patience had already worn thin. Tara immediately
stopped crying when she sensed the impatience in his tone.’ Odell’s irritation eased up slightly. He
caressed her forehead and said in a small voice, “Even if we are separated, I wouldn’t just abandon
you. Your life would be the same as before. I will give you everything you want.” Tara sobbed in silence.
Then, Odell said, “Get some rest.” Tara nodded and laid back on the bed for some rest. Odell sat by
her side for quite some time. He stayed until she had fallen asleep before he left. It was already
evening when he walked out of the hospital. When he got to his car at the parking lot, he tried calling
Sylvia but the call was declined. She had to be mad at him for making her wait so long. He chose to
call Cliff instead. “Is Sylvia still at the office?”
Cliff answered in a small voice, “Ms. Ross has already left. She said you were with Ms. Avery and
would not be coming back. I couldn’t stop her.”
Odell frowned. He believed Sylvia must have heard Tara’s sobbing when she called earlier. He tried
calling Sylvia again but the call was still declined.
Odell looked grim.
S
‘How dare she decline my call?!’ Just when he was about to call her again, his phone rang.
