Chapter 832
The door opened from the
inside
The nurse held a baby wrapped in a blanket and smiled at Odell. “Master Carter, congratulations, it’s a
boy!”
Odell barely spared a look at the child and turned to the nurse with a frantic look on his face. “What
about her? How is she?”
The nurse informed, “Both the mother and the baby are safe. She exerted a lot of strength during
childbirth and is very tired. She’s asleep now and should be fine after being given some time to rest.”
Odell tried to go inside but the nurse stopped him from doing so.
The nurse smiled politely. “Please wait just a moment. We’ll have her out in no time.”
Odell halted.
“You should take the boy first, he’s adorable,” the nurse said and handed the boy to him.
Odell finally took a good look at
the boy.
His skin was smooth as silk and fair. He was a tiny boy.
The look in Odell’s eyes immediately softened, and he took the boy into his arms.
Perhaps the boy sensed Odell’s beating down, he pried open his
eyelids to reveal two black pearls that were dark as onyx stone.
It was as if the boy was sizing him
“Oh, the boy is beautiful,” Aunt Tonya
approached and exclaimed in awe upon
seeing the boy closely.
Odell smiled with
pride.
That was when the closed door was pushed open again, Sylvia was carted out in the hospital bed, still
soundly asleep.
Odell immediately passed the baby to Aunt Tonya and took a look at Sylvia.
She was sound asleep. Her complexion was pale after exerting so much strength, and her brows were
still fixed into a frown.
He drew closer and put a hand over her brows to ease her frown, and quietly observed her expression
with a pondering look.
Shortly after that, the doctor informed that Sylvia needed more rest and proceeded to have the nurse
cart her to her ward. It was only then that Odell removed himself from her reluctantly.
The next morning, in a private
ward.
Sylvia, who had been sleeping all night, opened her eyes and found herself on a soft, feathery bed.
Her head was still
dizzy.
She looked at the ceiling above, then began turning around to get a sense of where she was. Soon
enough, she identified the man sitting on a chair by the bed.
He was leaning against the back of the chair with his arms folded across his chest. He stared at her
with a dark and sharp look in his eyes.
Sylvia’s first instinct was to quickly shut her eyes and pretend to be still asleep.
A playful grin surfaced on Odell’s grim
expression.
“Do you want to see the boy?” he
asked.
His voice was filled with
depth.
Sylvia was very
tempted.
“Open your eyes if you want to see the boy.” Odell supplied.
Sylvia carefully opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at Odell to avoid upsetting him. “Where’s the
boy?”
“Outside. Aunt Tonya, Isabel, and Liam are watching over him.”
Sylvia looked out toward the
door.
The doors and windows were closed so she could not see anything.
She wanted to get up but her body was so immensely weak that she could barely sit up, let alone get
out of bed.
She stared helplessly at Odell with a smile and asked politely,” Can you let them in?”
He did not answer and only regarded her with a sharp and indifferent look
Sylvia pursed her lips and muttered,”If you’re not going to let them in, fine. But could you at least let
Aunt Tonya in?”
She wanted to ask Aunt Tonya what she ended up telling Odell. Then she would get her to persuade
Odell to let her see the boy.
He sat motionless and announced,”She told me everything about what happened to you during your six
months stay in Galston.”
Sylvia opened her eyes wide. “Did she tell you everything?”
