Chapter 158
Just as Silvia was about to speak, Neil coldly said, “Silvia, if you claim that this has nothing to do with me again, I’ll turn Lose Demon upside down to find whatever you’re hiding!”
She ignored his threat.
She knew that if Scorpion intended to torment her, he would do whatever it took to remain hidden.
Her silence fueled Neil’s anger. “You’re really not going to say anything?!”
“Why ask the same question when you already know the answer?”
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, and his expression grew even colder.
They both sat in silence until a nurse broke the tension when she came in to change Silvia’s IV
solution.
When the nurse saw Neil’s striking yet aloof appearance, she was momentarily stunned. “This IV bag should last for another hour and a half. If she needs to use the restroom, you can press the call button next to her,” she eventually said.
“Alright.”
Neil had always been concise when speaking with other people.
The nurse stole a few more glances at him before she realized that he was getting somewhat impatient. Therefore, she quickly stepped out.
Although Neil was handsome, he had a horrible temper.
Shortly after the nurse left, Silvia found herself in need of the restroom.
She t
tried to e
endure it for a while, but ultimately, she had no choice but to seek assistance from Neil.
“Mr. Remus, can you press the call button for me?”
If she had not been wrapped in bandages, she would not have resorted to asking him for help.
He turned to her and noticed the embarrassment in her eyes. He remained cold, but he pressed the
call button.
The nurse quickly showed up and assisted her.
Silvia wanted to be discharged after she completed the IV drip, but the nurse firmly rejected her
request.
“Are you trying to leave the hospital in this condition? Your wounds will split open before you even get home! Lie down and get some rest!”
Since the nurse gave her an earful, Silvia reluctantly lay down on the hospital bed.
At the same time, Curtis received some results from his investigation.
“Mr. Remus, I have some findings to report,”
Noticing the hesitation in Curtis’s eyes, Silvia said, “I need some alone time. You two can head back.”
Neil gazed at her for a moment and allowed Curtis to push him out.
Once they found a quiet corner, Curtis softly said, “Mr. Remus, I could only find out that many people died in Lose Demon’s fanciest private room. However, the exact reasons have been kept secret, and all of the bar’s surveillance footage from last night has been deleted. We can’t find any information at
“Question the bar’s employees, especially those who’ve been working there for a long time. Offer them more money if needed.”
“Understood.”
After Curtis left, Neil returned to the ward.
“Mr. Remus, don’t you have other things to do? I can manage on my own. You don’t need to stay with me.” Silvia frowned.
i
“It’s a Saturday. Besides, if I don’t keep an eye on you, you might disappear again.”
Silvia was
at a loss for words.
Since she could not make him leave, she chose to act as if he was not around.
After two days in the hospital, Silvia was finally given permission to go home. If she slept on the hospital bed any longer, her muscles would probably become stiff.
Once she returned to the mansion, she received a message from Condor.
[How are you T
Did Scorpion track you down?]
Silvia stared at the message for a moment and began typing her response.
[I met him two days ago and fought with his subordinates.]
[Really?! You need to be careful. Scorpion’s known to be sly and ruthless. Once he’s after you, it’s hard
to escape. If I hadn’t found a safe place to hide, I might have died long ago!]
[During our previous mission, you knew that one of the survivors was Scorpion, didn’t you?]
[What do you mean? Are you doubting me?!]
[I’m not doubting you. I’m certain that you knew. The purpose of that mission wasn’t to kill Scorpion. You wanted to provoke him and make him come after me, didn’t you?]
