Chapter 424
Sylvia immediately turned her face away to avoid his touch and his stare.
Odell patted her on the cheek again before he growled, “If you ignore me again when I’m talking to you, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”
Sylvia pursed her lips.
Odell’s voice was cold as he asked, “Did you hear me?”
Sylvia resisted the urge to bite him and replied, “ Loud and clear.”
Only then did Odell push himself off the bed.
Suddenly, as if a thought had just occurred to him, he said, “I’ll turn a blind eye to you hurting Tara today, but you won’t get off so easily if it happens again.”
With that said, Odell strode away.
Sylvia slowly got up from the bed.
Using crutches to support her, she made her way to the bathroom and started to wash her face.
Sylvia washed her face several times and brushed her teeth twice before returning to the bedroom.
A moment later, Violet walked in with her wheelchair.
Noticing that Sylvia was sitting alone by the window in a daze, Violet asked softly, “Mrs. Carter, are you alright?”
She had been in Madam Carter’s bedroom all this while. However, she had heard the commotion outside and seen Odell carry Sylvia into the bedroom.
Sylvia replied, “I’m fine.”
“Then I’ll take my leave. Please call for me if you need anything.”
“Hmm.”
Violet then left the room.
Sylvia pulled the wheelchair closer before retrieving the smashed wooden Rubik’s cube and wooden crown.
Tara quickly withdrew her hand and chuckled dryly. “Sylvia, what do you thinkyou’re doing? I just wanted to see what you’re carving.”
Sylvia scoffed. “You’re here today because you want to see if Odell tortured me after you left yesterday, right?”
Tara’s eyes trembled slightly.
Sylvia had hit the nail on its head.
She then added, “After you left yesterday, Odell carried me into the bedroom. He only kissed me forcefully a few times before leaving.”
An ugly expression pulled at Tara’s face.
Sylvia could not help laughing at her reaction. “ I’m sorry for disappointing you, but he didn’t torture me.”
Tara forced a smirk. “Hmph. Your leg is broken and you’re trapped here like a dog on a leash.
What is there for me to be disappointed about?”
“Of course, I did have my leg broken, but he also got a doctor to put it in a cast so I think I’ll be completely recovered soon. And yes, I am trapped here and I can’t leave, but what about it? Odell still refuses to divorce me, let alone want to be with you.”
