Chapter 144
Silvia pushed the door open and saw Henry standing by Dulcie’s bed. She was stunned.
When Henry saw her, he greeted her awkwardly.
Dulcie glared at him. “Can you leave now?”
“I’ll visit you again in the afternoon,” he said softly.
“No need. I don’t want to see you.”
Henry froze for a while before he quickly left the ward.
Silvia then put breakfast on the table. “How did Henry find out that you were hospitalized? Are you
still in contact?”
“I don’t know. I’m sick of seeing him. Don’t mention his name. It’ll bring bad luck!”
Dulcie took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
“Oh yeah, I’m fine now. I’ll handle my discharge later and go to work in the afternoon.”
Silvia frowned. She was slightly worried as she said, “You’d better rest for two more days.”
“It’s okay. I know my own b*dy.”
Since Dulcie insisted, she could not say anything else. She nodded and asked, “Do you need me to keep you company later?”
“No, you should go to work.”
Silvia nodded. “Okay.”
Sure enough, Dulcie came to work at noon.
Seeing that she could attend meetings and work as usual, Silvia finally felt relieved.
It was almost time to clock off when she received a call from Neil.
“Henry wants to invite you for dinner.”
When she recalled Dulcie’s attitude toward Henry in the ward, she answered, “If he wants me to help him pursue Dulcie, ask him not to waste his time. I won’t help him.”
She did not forget how Henry treated Dulcie when he was with Snow.
If Dulcie wanted to forgive him and mend their relationship, Silvia would not say anything. But it would be impossible for her to help him.
“Okay.”
After the call ended, Henry looked at Neil with anticipation.
“How did it go? What did Silvia say?”
“She refuses.”
Henry instantly appeared disappointed.
“Okay.”
Neil did not feel sorry for him at all. “Think about the stupid things that you’ve done. If you weren’t my buddy, I wouldn’t have made this call for you,” he said with a straight face.
Henry chuckled in resignation before he looked at him and said, “It looks like your relationship with Silvia isn’t great either. She didn’t even do it for you.”
“Get out!”
At night, Dulcie treated Silvia to dinner as thanks for saving her last night.
They both enjoyed steak, so they just went to a steak restaurant near the company.
During dinner, Silvia noticed that Dulcie was slightly distracted, so she asked, “Dul, is something on your mind?”
Dulcie sighed and slowly said, “I’ve thought about the thing that you mentioned last night. I plan to cut ties with my father, but I don’t know if I want to send him to jail. Silvia, am I horrible?”
Silvia saw the struggle and pain in her eyes.
“Not everyone can be as ruthless as I am, so don’t blame yourself. At least your father treated you quite well when he wasn’t addicted to gambling.”
Dulcie looked at Silvia and spoke earnestly, “You’re not ruthless. You cheer me up when I’m sad, and you stand up for me when I’m in trouble. You deserve the best things in the world. The Pond Family is so ignorant!”
Silvia smiled. “Let’s eat and forget about those unhappy memories.”
