Chapter 449
Thomas replied, “My friends and I were waiting for the fireworks show near the place you fell, so we saved you.”
Sylvia showed an expression of gratitude. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
His voice was faint, and his cool face did not look emotional.
Sylvia knew his temper. Although she was very grateful inside, she did not thank him again.
Suddenly, his brown eyes stared at her and asked, “Why did you jump into the lake?”
Jump into the lake?
Sylvia smiled coldly. “Do I look like I’d do something like that?”
He asked in confusion, “Then how did you fall into the water?”
Her gaze turned cold. “I was pushed down by Tara.”
“Tara? Are you talking about Odell’s girlfriend?”
“Yeah.”
“I remember that he also divorced you because of her a few years ago.”
“That’s right.”
Sylvia could not help but recall the many things that happened, such as Tara’s repeated schemes, and how Odell always defended her.
However, that was not important. What was important was that Sylvia was not dead.
‘I’ll return to them everything that they did to me!
‘Especially you, Tara Avery.
‘If I don’t pay you back a little, it’ll be a waste of your sinister calculations.’
Sylvia took a breath and propped herself on the bed.
She looked around. “Which hospital is this?”
Thomas replied, “Coastrock Hospital.”
Sylvia was stunned. “Coastrock? We’re at Coastrock City now?”
Sylvia thought about it and asked, “Did you tell Odell that I’m in Coastrock City?”
“No. I brought you here after rescuing you. I thought you committed suicide because you didn’t want to see them, so I didn’t tell anyone.”
“Good.” Sylvia exhaled and looked at her left calf which was encased in plaster again. “Please help me keep my whereabouts a secret for now. I want to wait a bit before I go back.”
‘Wait for my injury to heal, wait for my plan to be ready, wait until the time is ripe.’
Thomas looked at her cold and pale face. “Okay.”
Sylvia suddenly wrinkled her brows again.
He asked, “What’s wrong? Does your wound hurt?”
“I’m fine.”
She just could not help but think about Isabel and Liam.
The little ones must be very anxious after not seeing her for so long.
However, Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were watching over them. Although that damned man Odell hated her, he was still good to the children and surely would not treat them harshly.
Sylvia gritted her teeth and endured her longing for them.
