Chapter 154
Before Silvia could get a word in, Neil coldly interjected, “Please don’t interfere in our business.”
Melanie was furious. “Neil, how long do you intend to shield her?!”
He said nothing, but the icy aura he radiated made his dissatisfaction abundantly clear.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Remus. Mr. Remus and I already have an agreement. Once his legs heal, we’ll get a “Don’t worry, Mrs. Remus. Mr. Remus and I already divorce.”
“Silvia Pond!”
Neil glared at her furiously.
“We’re getting a divorce sooner or later. I don’t want you to have conflicts with your family because of this, Mr. Remus,” she calmly said.
“How thoughtful of you!”
Sensing his sarcasm, she decided not to speak further.
Melanie sneered. “Make sure you do as you say and stop clinging to Neil!”
Silvia laughed. “Is Mr. Remus a valuable item? Why would I cling to him?”
Melanie spluttered as her expression darkened.
“N–No wonder the Pond Family dislikes you. Who in their right mind would like such a rude person?”
Silvia frowned in displeasure.
Neil frowned too and coldly said, “Mom, if you have so much free time on your hands, why don’t you go back and rest?”
Melanie was in disbelief. “Neil, I’m your mother. How could you side with an outsider instead of me?”
“If you
you hadn’t caused trouble, we wouldn’t have come to this.”
“Are you saying that I was wrong to advise you on the divorce?”
“Now that you’ve realized it, let’s not bring it up again.”
His indifference only fueled her anger. She stood up and said, “Fine, I won’t meddle in anymore!”
your
affairs
“That would be best.”
Melanie left in anger, and silence returned to the ward. Silvia sat by the bed and quietly observed Abalene’s IV drip without revealing any emotions.
After more than half an hour, Abalene finally woke up.
Silvia hurried to support her as she tried to get up.
“Madam Remus, please take it easy.”
Seeing that Abalene was awake, Jake hurried over. “Mom, are you feeling alright?”
Abalene’s complexion was still somewhat pale. She shook her head and softly requested, “I’d like some time alone. Could everyone please leave?”
“If you need anything or start to feel unwell, just call for us. We’ll be right outside the door.”
Before she left, Silvia tucked in the corners of Abalene’s blanket. Just as she turned away, she noticed a tear fall from Abalene’s eye.
That woman would always be smiling. It was Silvia’s first time seeing her with such a sorrowful expression.
After they left the ward, Liam joined them.
“Now that your grandmother’s awake, I’ll get the servants to come over. You should all head back and rest. There’s no need for so many of us to stay here,” Jake said softly.
Liam nodded. “Alright. Just let me know if you need anything.”
After they exited the hospital and parted ways with Liam, Neil solemnly said, “This incident was definitely planned, just like my car accident.”
Silvia subconsciously tightened her grip on the wheelchair and whispered, “Perhaps it was just an accident…”
He sneered, and his voice remained cold. “My grandmother actually had four children. A nanny kidnapped the youngest child when it was just a baby. By the time they found it, the baby was dead. “It’s a deeply sensitive topic in our family, and no one talks about it. Very few people knew about what happened, but if we ch*ck every single thing, we’ll find out who was behind this!”
Silvia never expected there to be such a past event. No wonder Abalene looked so sad earlier. The package likely reminded her of it.
“Do you think the same person is behind these two incidents?”
“I’m certain they’re the same person!”
