There were only some instant noodles in the kitchen. After a quick search and finding nothing in the refrigerator, she decided to go out to have some freshly cooked food. She walked along the street and stood at a commercial street filled with stalls and restaurants. She went inside the restaurant where she was a regular. The dishes served matched her palate, hence her fondness for it. She sat by the window. She placed her order and the food was served after a while. Eating hot food warmed her body and she enjoyed the meal a lot. Halfway through dinner, several familiar figures came in. Sylvia frowned. The men and women seemed to be from the Art Academy. She met them once or twice during events but since she usually spent time with Christopher and Simon, she was not close with them. Some of them were the ones who scolded her in the group chat earlier. It was then they turned around and spotted her. Sylvia nervously looked down and continued eating, feigning ignora

After she adjusted her thoughts, she switched on her phone. She saw several missed call notifications from Isabel and Liam. They even sent her a voice message shortly after that. Sylvia tapped on it and heard Isabel’s adorable voice speaking to her. “Mommy, why is your phone off? Are you going to leave me and Liam again?” She sounded sad. Sylvia furrowed her brows and tapped on the second voice message. “Mommy, if you don’t call us back in an hour, we’ll go to the police,” Liam said. Sylvia immediately checked the time she received the message. It was exactly an hour ago. She called them immediately and the call got through in less than a second. Isabel bawled, “Mommy! Where have you been? Why did you turn off your phone?” Sylvia explained softly, “My phone’s battery died, and I fell asleep. I just woke up and saw you guys texting me.” “Oh…” The little girl sighed a breath of relief. She continued, “Mommy, why didn’t you come over in the afternoon? Is it because

Ding! Shortly after Sylvia woke up in the morning and was about to make breakfast, her phone suddenly rang. She looked at her phone and saw that Isabel was calling her, so she immediately picked up. Immediately after picking up, she heard Isabel bawling into the phone, “Hnghh…Mommy, the big baddie had a car accident!” Clack. Her phone clattered against the floor. She felt the strength drain out of her legs in an instant. It took her a moment to register what she had heard. She balanced herself against the wall with one hand as she crouched down to pick up the phone and asked in a trembling voice, “Isabel, when did it happen? How is he doing now?” Amidst her sobs, Isabel answered, "I think it was last night. Uncle Sebastian said that he is still in a coma in the hospital… He’s not going to die, is he?” Last night? Sylvia answered with a frown, "No, the doctors will do everything they can to save him. He won't die so easily.” Since he had been admitted to

Sylvia called Isabel when she reached home. The little girl called out affectionately the moment the call connected, “Mommy!” She seemed to be in a much better mood compared to that morning when she called to ask if her father was going to survive. Sylvia smiled and asked, “Isabel, did Uncle Sebastian tell you how your father is doing?” “He did, he says that the big baddie has woken up and only needs a few days of rest to recover from his injury.” Liam’s voice followed afterward, “Mommy, we’re going to the hospital to see Dad later. Do you want to go too?" Sylvia instantly recalled encountering Lily that afternoon. She was probably by Odell's side now. After thinking about it, she answered, “You kids can go. I won’t be joining you.” Liam did not speak. Isabel whispered in reply, "Okay." Sylvia chatted with them for a while before hanging up. By this point, she was starving and the child in her tummy seemed to be kicking her to remind her to feed them

Isabel and Liam went home with Sebastian after having dinner with Odell. The large medical ward was suddenly filled with silence. Odell leaned back against the bed, his cold eyes staring out the window. Soon, Cliff entered the room. He brought a few documents and relayed several reports to Odell. After he was done with the report, he asked in a low voice, “Sir, do you have any other orders?" Odell said in a sharp voice, "What's the situation with her?” A whole day had already passed. What on earth could she be so busy with that she still had not come to see him?! Observing Odell’s expression, Cliff answered cautiously, “Two of our men have been assigned to keep an eye on Miss Sylvia. She took a two-hour nap after lunch. Then after she woke up, she just sat on the balcony and sort of zoned out for a while. She watched some television after that and went off to get dinner at a restaurant nearby before heading back to her place again.” As Cliff went on, his voice
