Chapter 1264
As John smiled, Odell calmly locked eyes with him. 1
The tense situation only lasted for a few seconds before they indulged in their own cups of tea.
Sylvia got into the car and was on the way out of the Carters‘ residence.
Aunt Wanda had informed her earlier that Sherry’s water just broke, so they should already be at the hospital, ready to deliver.
As the nervousness occupied her thoughts, she missed the text from Odell.
When the car drove past a set of traffic lights, and they were only ten minutes away from the hospital, Sylvia’s phone rang. It was Aunt Wanda.
She answered the phone immediately. “Aunt Wanda, how’re things?”
“Ms. Fowler is in the delivery room, and she’s been wanting to see you. The doctors also urge her family to be here. Are you on your way?”
Sylvia answered, “I’m almost at the hospital. Tell her to hold on, and I’ll be right there.”
“Alright, I’ll convey the message.”
Right when Sylvia hung up the phone, she suddenly saw the text from Odell. A quick glance at the content later, her gaze shifted, and she nervously looked into the rearview mirror.
She spotted a silver MPV and a couple of cars behind them, and they seemed to have followed them since they left the house. She clearly remembered that the MPV was John’s car from earlier.
Her gaze turned cold. “Jacob, the silver MPV behind us is John’s. Can you lose it?”
Jacob glanced into the mirror. “I can, but I might have to take a detour.”
A quick hesitation later, she said, “Take it.”
She could not afford to let John find out about Sherry’s location, let alone the fact that she was carrying his baby.
