Chapter 923
Officer Sach glanced at Sylvia and asked, “Master Carter, would you like to head inside with Miss Ross
?”
“I‘ll go in first.” Odell said while letting go of Sylvia‘s hand. Then, he
turned to inform her, “Wait for me here for a while and don‘t wander around.”
“Okay.” Sylvia answered, but inside her mind, she muttered a silent complaint, ‘Why would I
just wander around? I‘m not a child.‘
Odell turned to the officer again, “Officer Sach, please have someone watch over her.”
Sylvia was speechless.
Officer Sach proceeded
to summon two of his officers and entrusted them with the task of watching over Sylvia.
They had Sylvia sit down somewhere nearby.
Meanwhile, Odell went into the room.
It was a heavily guarded room, and was as quiet as a cemetery inside. It was
rather dark inside and there was nothing save for a table and two chairs inside.
Odell sat down in one of the chairs.
After a while, Thomas came in through another door.
His hands had been handcuffed and he was still wearing the same clothes from the other
day. By this point, his clothes had
already become very creased.
The look in his eyes shifted the moment he saw Odell and he asked with a
sense of urgency, “Is Sylvia awake? How is she doing?”
Odell glared at him icily.
Thomas proceeded to sit opposite him and continued to pester him with questions, “How is she doing n
ow?”
“When you took her to Galston
with you for half a year and kept her locked up for three months, what did you do to her during that time
?”
Thomas rolled his eyes and asked, “Why are you asking me about this?”
“Tell me, what did you do to her in those three months?” A menacing glare shone from within Odell‘s ey
es.
Thomas grimaced and stayed quiet.
The silence lingered in the air for several seconds longer.
Odell suddenly asked, “Do you want to see her?”
Thomas‘s eyes seemed to gleam at this offer, but darkness quickly returned to them, “You‘re
going to let me see her?”
“Tell me what you did to her in those three months, then I‘ll let you see her.”
Thomas frowned and asked suspiciously, “You promise to let me see her if I tell you?”
Odell responded, “Yes, certainly.”
Thomas seemed to withdraw his gaze from Odell and fell silent for
several seconds before confessing, “I tried to hypnotize her during those three months.”
Odell frowned, “Hypnotize her?”
Thomas grinned sardonically, “I wanted her to forget about you. | gave her some drugs that helped with
easing the nerves in the brain before I began conducting certain hypnotizing practices on her.”
Needless to say, his experiment had been a complete failure since not only had he failed to achieve his
original task, she had even started to self–
harm due to the depression that had befallen her from the experience.
It was either because the technique had not been viable to begin with, or she simply loved
Odell too much.
Odell‘s face darkened and he pressed further, “Anything else?”
“No.” Thomas looked at him, “Can I see her now?”
Odell shot a hostile look at him.
In any other circumstances, he would not allow Thomas to see Sylvia even if it was a matter of life and
death.
But now, he figured that it would be fine.
He frowned contemptuously and declared, “Sure, I‘ll let you see her now.”
With that, he got up and walked out of the visitation room.
Thomas seemed rather startled by this answer. He had not expected Odell to be so cooperative.
However, none of this mattered.
He straightened his collar and ran his fingers through his hair.
Shortly after, the closed door was open again, and a slender figure walked in.
Thomas smiled and looked at her.
Sylvia was looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny.
She started by saying, “Are you Odell‘s brother, Thomas Carter?”
The smile on Thomas‘ lips instantly vanished.
He froze as he
watched Sylvia looking him up and down as if he was a complete stranger. After a moment, he muttered
