Chapter 828
Bathed within darkness, his
figure stood tall and lean.
Even though his face was covered in darkness, it did not
affect his handsome appearance in any way.
Lily was fascinated by it. She only came back to her senses after he had finished the cigarette, then
she asked cautiously,” Odell, are you going to look for Sylvia?”
Odell threw the cigarette butt on the ground,”I’m not going.”
What kind of fool was he to allow himself to be strung along?
Lily saw this as a chance and suggested,”Why don’t I go on a walk with you?”
Ding!
As soon as she said this, Odell’s phone
rang again.
In irritation, he pulled the phone out of his pocket.
The caller ID showed that it was Liam
calling.
Why was the brat calling him this time? After hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly put the phone
to his
ear, “What’s the matter?”
“Dad, if you don’t come to see Mommy again, you’re not only going to lose her, but you will lose me
and Isabel also.” Liam’s childlike voice was full of resentment.
Odell’s eyes were cold as ice as he demanded, “You’re in the
Chapter

hospital too? Who took you
there?”
“It doesn’t matter. Mommy needs you more than anything now.”
Odell clenched his phone tightly and tried to suppress the hostility in his voice, “What she needs is the
father of the child in her womb, not me.”
On the other side of the phone, Liam’s eyebrows twitched as he asked in a confused voice,”Didn’t Aunt
Tonya tell you just now? The baby inside Mommy’s tummy is yours.”
Huh!
Odell was completely bewildered by this,”What did you say? Whose child is it?”
“Aunt Tonya said that Mommy was pregnant even before she went to Galston. It’s been almost nine
months since then, which means the baby is yours.”
Almost nine
months?
The last time he had run into her while he had been dining with Lily, hadn’t it been Sylvia herself who
had claimed that it had barely been six months?
Odell stood up straight and desperately asked for further confirmation, “Repeat that again… Whose
baby is it?”
Liam promptly ended the
call.
Odell’s face darkened, he turned around and pulled the car door open before jumping inside.
The black car swerved out of the parking lot in an instant and

zoomed down the road like a bolt of
lightning.
Lily was left standing there, completely
dumbfounded by everything she had just
witnessed.
Inside the delivery
room.
Sylvia had no idea how she had come to the hospital. All she knew is that when she opened her eyes,
she had seen a crew of doctors and nurses pacing about urgently in front of her.
All she could see was a blur of figures, perhaps due to how weak she was feeling. She could see their
mouths moving as they spoke to her but she could not make out a single word of what they were
saying.
She felt terrible and her stomach was throbbing so
badly that she could not even muster the energy to comfort herself.
Huff.
She gasped
weakly.
It hurt. Everything
hurt.
She could not muster up the slightest bit of strength either.
Sigh, forget it, so be it. She should never have come back. Perhaps this child shouldn’t stay either.
She shut her eyes
again.
Her consciousness became like a muddled pool as the countless memories from the past six months
repeated in a chaotic order inside her mind.

The time she had found out Thomas’ true colors.
When she had disregarded everything and stabbed that man to save her child and Aunt Tonya.
The painful, grueling half-year she had spent locked up all alone in that dark castle in Galston…
It was karma that things were ending up this way.
She should have never allowed herself to be deceived by Thomas’ superficiality. She should have
never trusted him at all.
She didn’t blame Odell for hating her
so much.
But now, she would be going to the other world with her unborn child. Odell would never have to see
her again and be upset by the sight of her. Then he could happily spend the rest of his days with Lily…
She was fading away.
Just as she thought that the sweet embrace of death would take her away for once and for all, she
suddenly felt an intense grip on her arms.
She heard a familiar voice,”… Sylvia, Sylvia, wake up, wake up!”
She felt someone shaking her
violently.
Was it him?
No, it could not be, he had even refused to answer her call. How could he be here now?
She continued to drift off to sleep and sink further into the
Chapter

darkness.
There was yet another vigorous shake that nearly threw her off the bed, as she heard a deep roar, “I
told you to wake up! Are you deaf? If you don’t open your eyes, I will let you never see Isabel and Liam
again! I’ll make sure you never see them again even if you die!”
