Chapter 3: Severely Injured

Ryan - Liam's closest person is also the butler of the Darkside mansion assigned to take care of Sylvia. After his owner left, Ryan repeatedly looked into the room and sent someone to bring food but Sylvia remained motionless, she did not move. 

"Viola, did you see how she's doing?" Ryan gestured to the maid named Viola. 

"Yes."

Viola crept into the dark and damp room, which was worse than the mansion's dog house. 

Sylvia was beaten to the point that her face was swollen, her eyes were closed, and her lips were bleeding. She curled up on the tattered cloth, breathing heavily with each breath. 

"Miss, are you okay?" Viola asked softly. 

There was no reply. 

"Miss..."

Viola boldly moved closer. The person lying in front of her remained motionless, not moving. Sensing that something was wrong, Viola crouched down and brought her hand closer to Sylvia. 

Hot… as hot as coal. 

"You have a fever! It's hot like this." Viola cried out in panic. 

Sylvia was now unconscious. 

"Mr. Ryan, it's not over! She's got a high fever, it's very hot. If she doesn't bring the fever down, it's dangerous." Viola ran out and immediately informed Ryan. 

"Fever?"

"Yes. She didn't wake up when I called."

"Okay, you stay here and watch her, I'll call the owner first!"

"Yes."

Liam drove to the company when he received a phone call from Ryan, he couldn't sleep all night, his eyes were dark and tired. 

"Ryan, what's the matter? I haven't been to the office yet." Liam shouted into the phone. 

"Sir, something's wrong with the girl we're keeping. She has a high fever!"

"Fever… it's her fault she deserves." Liam didn't have any sympathy, coldly replied. 

"But don't call the doctor for fear that she will die! Don't you want to keep her alive?" Ryan feels that the owner is a bit cruel. Just arrested the person who wanted to kill her. 

"You're also right, call the doctor, don't let anything happen to her. This debt I have to pay her, I can't let her die so easily." Liam suddenly changed his attitude. After saying that, definitely hang up the phone. 

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to Sylvia's cell.

"Viola, help me get her to the main room, the doctor will be right there!"

"Yes."

Sylvia, covered in wounds, both new and old, was carried into the living room of the mansion. She groaned softly in pain. 

The doctor who was invited was a secret family doctor. Liam runs the family company left by his adoptive father, but behind the scenes, there is also an underground weapons trade, connected with quite a few mafias in the city. It's common for him to get hit by bullets. Liam agrees to pay a high price for this personal doctor to keep his secret. 

Doctor Daniel just saw Sylvia lying motionless on the bed like a corpse, then indignantly turned to Ryan to question. 

"Ryan, who is this? Your new victim? Why is she so badly injured?"

Ryan shook his head confused. Lying won't hurt anyone, your boss probably doesn't want you to talk too much. 

"No… not at all. Our boss accidentally saved her from a transnational trafficking gang that brought her here!"

"Looking at her, such a high fever must have been caused by these injuries, lying on the cold ground for a long time."

Ryan remembered Sylvia's scream of pain last night. Liam hit her very roughly. He had suppressed his anger for a long time. 

"What to do now? I don't want her dead!"

"Let's wait and see how she reacts to the drug!" Dr. Daniel took out his notebook and medicine from his pocket. 

"In the immediate future, she needs to lower her fever! Drink it three times a day. After reducing the fever, only twice a day. Avoid catching a cold! Call me if anything comes up. Now I will treat the wound first."

Ryan nodded, turning to Viola. 

"Did you hear that, make sure she takes her medication regularly as the doctor says?"

"Yes."

Sylvia didn't know how long she slept, she was woken up by the loud sound of the door opening. Her whole body sank into the soft goose-down mattress, and for a moment, Sylvia thought she was at home. Until a strange voice spoke up. 

"Are you awake?"

"You… who are you?" Sylvia fearfully sat on the rope. 

"Don't be afraid, I'm Viola, the maid here. I brought you medicine and porridge."

Viola went to take Sylvia's temperature, gesturing to Sylvia. 

"Your fever's gone! The medicine is really good."

"Am I not in jail anymore?"

Noticing Sylvia's cheerful tone, Viola shook her head. 

"No, it's because you're sick that the boss sends someone to heal. I don't know when you'll be back in that cell again."

Sylvia was so disappointed that she cried. She also thought that the other man would let her go after he made the move. 

"Thank you."

"Nothing, medicine, and food I left on the table. If you need anything, just ring the bell."

With that, Viola hurriedly left the room. Her famous ferocious boss is about to return, and she doesn't want to get involved with Sylvia, who is hated by her boss any more. 

Sylvia glanced outside the window, it was dark outside. She didn't know if she could escape from this window? Before that violent man returns, it is unlikely that he will do anything terrible. 

She tried with all her strength to push the latch but it was locked from the outside, unable to open.

She tried with all her strength to push the latch but it was locked from the outside, unable to open. Sylvia pursed her lips tightly, trying to lift her bleeding arm, and forcefully pushed the door open. 

After finishing work at the company, Liam and his secretary went to a drinking party on the rooftop of a 59-story building of the upper class. Although not very interesting, this is an opportunity to make money from these social relationships. 

"Master, please!"

"Thanks, nice to meet you!" Liam grinned, greeting the big fat man in front of him. Recognize him as Martin - the chairman of the extremely famous ATT corporation.
