Chapter 855
At the same time, in Carter Tower, Odell was having a meeting with the executives.
When he saw the call from Skylar, he picked up his phone, walked out of the conference room, and
answered the phone.” Did you meet her?”
Skylar quickly said, “I just came out of your house.”
He followed up by asking, “Is her depression cured?”
“Ms. Ross’ state is much better than the last time I saw her, but depression isn’t a physical illness. It
won’t go away so easily. However, I can confirm that she’s in the healing stage now. As long as she
maintains her current condition and doesn’t get stimulated again, she should be able to get rid of her
depression soon.”
Odell’s face softened. “Okay, I got it.”
He hung up the phone and returned back to the conference room.
Although Skylar’s feedback was not what he wanted to hear, it was not bad either. He was in a good
mood, so the few executives under him had a better time as well.
The meeting went smoothly and was over before office hours ended in the evening.
He immediately walked out of the office and took a car home.
The snow on the ground had not yet melted.
After walking through the gate, Odell got out of the car and saw five snowmen piled up together in the
yard.
Although they were a little roughly molded, it was not hard to tell that the two adults standing together
were Sylvia and him whereas the two children in front were Isabel and Liam, and the little one in the
very front was Flint.
It was a family of five.
Odell’s deep eyes suddenly softened. At that moment, Isabel, who had her hair tied into twin buns,
jumped and ran out.
“Baddie, you’re back!”
Odell reached out and caught her in his arms.
Isabel wrapped one hand around his neck, pointed to the five snowmen with her other hand, and said,
“Liam and I made these five snowmen. Aren’t we amazing?”
Odell smiled. “Not bad.”
“Hehe.”
He carried her inside. When he saw that Sylvia was not in the living room, he asked, “Where’s your
mother?”
“Mommy and Flint are sleeping.” Isabel pouted and added,” They’ve been sleeping all afternoon.”

They had slept all afternoon?
Odell put her on the floor and walked upstairs in long strides. Soon, he arrived at their bedroom!
On the large bed, Flint was sleeping alone on one side. Sylvia was wrapped in the blanket with her
head covered.
Odell immediately went to the bed and lifted the blanket. She was curled up in a ball, and her face was
also furrowed. It seemed like she was having a nightmare.
He frowned and sat beside her, gently patting her. “Sylvia?”
“No!” Sylvia screamed, swinging her hand at his face.
There was a heavy smack.
Odell was shocked.
Sylvia, who was sleeping in a daze, also awakened and opened her eyes at once. She froze when she
saw the man in front of her. “Odell?”
Odell took her into his arms and frowned. “Did you have a nightmare?”
LE!
She exhaled, and her body flopped down in his arms like a cat. Then, she gave a low hum. “What was
it about?”
THIS LITTLE
She hesitated and said, “I dreamt about the six months I was in Galston.”
Odell immediately tightened his arms and hugged her fiercely,
saying in a soft voice, “It’s just a dream. Don’t be scared.”
