Chapter 966
Sylvia played with the three little ones until the evening.
In the evening, Isabel and Liam both had a piano lesson. Aunt Tonya brought Flint to bed.
Sylvia went to the third floor by herself. There was a big room with three walls facing the sun.
At this time of the day, the orange sunset slanted from the west and landed on the neat and
clean table, the floor, and the painting and carving tools on the table.
Aunt Tonya had told her about this place, saying that it was a workshop specially prepared for her.
Although Sylvia had no memory of this place, she had a familiar feeling as soon as she stepped
inside. She could not help but look at the complete sets of painting tools, and the two paintings
hanging on the wall.
The paintings were framed. Both of them were landscapes, and the artist‘s signature stamp on
the bottom read: Sunflower. The signature stamp was placed in a box in a corner of the table.
Sylvia lifted her hand to touch it, but when she remembered
that one of these things belonged to her nine years ago, she quickly withdrew her hand again.
Then, she walked around the table, went to the other side
where the carving tools were placed, and sat down. She picked up a small wood block with one hand, t
he carving knife with the
other, and carved aimlessly.
To her surprise, carving came to her quite smoothly. It seemed that she was born to carve.
‘Does that mean that although I crossed over from nine years ago, my body still retains the memory of
carving?‘
The more Sylvia carved, the more excited she became.
Unknowingly, it turned dark. She did not notice the flow of time and continued to be immersed in carvin
g.
Perhaps because she had not touched a carving knife for too long, as she carved, a painful sensation s
uddenly shot up her wrist. She had accidentally scratched her hand with the carving knife.
Blood instantly oozed from her finger, and she let out a hiss of pain.
“What happened?” A man‘s anxious voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Sylvia was immediately startled again.
Before she could turn around and look, Odell
walked to her side and picked up her cut finger. After examining it, he took out his cell and made a pho
ne call.
She did not know who he called, but the other
party answered quickly. Odell said in a low voice, “Bring the first aid kit to the third floor.”
Almost instantly, Sebastian and a maid came in with the first aid kit.
Seeing that Sylvia only cut her finger , Sebastian and the maid sighed with relief at the same
time. They put down the kit and went out.
Odell brought the first aid kit over and took out the disinfectant and Band–
aid from inside. First, he cleaned her wound, then he put the Band–
aid on her finger and advised her, “Don‘t touch water today.”
His voice was grim.
“Okay.” Sylvia‘s eyes lit up, and she could not help but ask,” When did you come back?”
“Half an hour ago.” He put the kit aside as he spoke, then picked up what she had carved. It was a sunf
lower that was about to take shape, and it was quite exquisite. His thin lips curled up.” It‘s quite good.”
Sylvia instantly smiled at his compliment. “I think so too. I
originally thought that I wouldn‘t be able to do it.”
Odell looked down at her with deep eyes.
When he did not say anything, Sylvia asked, “What are you looking at me for?”
“Did you know how to carve nine years ago?”
She shook her head. “I liked to carve erasers when I was in school, but I never played with wood carving
“So, do you remember anything now?” His eyes burned with anticipation.
She shook her head again. “No.”
Odell‘s expression darkened for a moment, then he put back the unfinished sunflower.
“Come down for dinner,” he said.
“No need. I‘m not hungry. This flower is almost done, so I‘ll go down later.” Sylvia was
still enthusiastic about finishing up. She picked up the carving knife and was about to continue.
The next second, the sunflower was snatched back by a large hand.
