Chapter 857
After breakfast, Odell took the same car to work as usual.
Not long after he left, Sylvia took Isabel and Liam to the hospital where she gave birth.
The chief doctor of the gynecology department was already waiting for her.
Odell had most likely sponsored this hospital after she gave birth, so the doctor’s attitude toward her
was very warm. All kinds of tests were done very carefully. The examination report came out on the
same day. Her body had recovered well, and there were no other complications.
Sylvia was satisfied and led Isabel and Liam out of the hospital.
Their car was in the parking lot where Jacob was waiting.
Sylvia wanted to make a phone call to Odell, so she said to the children, “You two get in the car with
Uncle Jacob first. Mommy will make a call to Daddy, and I’ll be right there.”
Upon hearing that she was going to call Odell, Isabel agreed immediately and pulled Liam to the car
with Jacob.
Sylvia took out her phone and called Odell.
TE
The line rang twice before picking up, and the man’s pleasant voice asked, “Is the checkup done?”
She replied, “Yeah. The doctor said my body is recovering well.” Odell was silent for a few seconds.
“Good.”
Sylvia thought for a moment and whispered, “I’m going home with the kids now. I’ll wait for you at
home.”
“I might have a meeting tonight.”
“Huh?” Her expression changed as she subconsciously let out a sound, her tone full of displeasure and
disappointment.
At the other end of the phone, the corners of the man’s lips were already curled into a smile. He held
back his laughter and asked, “What do you mean, ‘huh?”
She hurriedly said, “N-nothing.”
“I lied.”
“What?”
“I don’t have a meeting.”
Sylvia was embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red with shame.
On the phone, the man’s magnetic voice said softly, “Hurry home. Be a good girl and wait for me at
home. I’ll go back early in the afternoon.”
“Okay.” She hung up the phone after speaking.
Then, she turned around to go to the place where the car was parked. However, the moment she
raised her head, a straight and slender figure came into view.
The young man wore a long light-colored coat and was standing in front of a car. His brown eyes held a
long smile as he looked at her.
Sylvia paled as she took a large step back.
Thomas stood in the same place, his expression unchanging He simply looked at her. After sizing her
up, he asked, “Have you been well lately?”
Sylvia’s body trembled uncontrollably.
Almost subconsciously, she turned around and ran to the side. She dashed away as if she had just
seen a ghost.
She circled the parking lot in a single breath and ran to where Jacob parked.
When Jacob saw her running like the wind from another direction, he immediately got out of the car
and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“We’ll talk later. Hurry up and go back!”
Sylvia was afraid that Thomas had set up some kind of ambush there, so she pulled open the car door
and got into the car.
Jacob also quickly got into the car and started the engine. The car sped out of the parking lot and
weaved into traffic.
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was tense, and her hands still trembled.
