Chapter 256
Silvia subconsciously clenched her hands beneath the blanket. She lowered her head and said, ” You shouldn’t have returned.”
Neil sneered. “You’re right. Returning was a mistake. I shouldn’t have stuck my nose in and ended up stirring trouble for myself!”
He then stormed out and slammed the door.
Silvia pursed her lips. She was caught in a dilemma. The nicer Neil was to her, the harder it was to distance herself from him. One day, she would end up getting back together with him.
She did not dwell on these emotions for long and quickly composed herself. She rose from the bed to prepare for discharge.
She opened the room door and found Neil standing outside with a cold expression..
She stared in surprise.
“Why are you-”
Before she could finish speaking, Neil carried her in his arms and walked out of the hospital.
Her face was pressed against his chest. His powerful heartbeat made her blush, and her heart raced.
“Mr. Remus, please put me down. I can walk by myself.”
“If you don’t want me to throw you to the floor, just shut up!”
He sounded angry, and his jaw was clenched. He was clearly still upset about what happened earlier. However, he was surprisingly gentle when carrying her.
Silvia looked down and fought the surfacing joy. She could not afford to make the same mistake again.
After placing Silvia in the car, Neil took her to his current residence–Royal Vista.
Seeing the unfamiliar mansion, Silvia could not help but frown.
“Mr. Remus, just take me back to Elm Bay.”
Neil sneered. “Disappointed you didn’t die and hoping for another round with the bombs?”
Silvia was at a loss for words.
Noticing Silvia’s displeasure, Curtis hurriedly explained, “Miss Pond, some people are lurking around Elm Bay’s entrance and waiting for you. It’s dangerous to go back there. Before this matter is dealt with, you should stay at Mr. Remus’s place.”
Silvia turned to Curtis. “Mr. Harrell, have you found who put the bomb in Remus Mansion?”
“Yes, it was a maintenance worker from the mansion. He installed a bomb there while pretending to do repairs. Once the door opened, the bomb ticked away within five seconds.”
Silvia furrowed her brow. “What was his motive? Is he a fan of Ada?”
Curtis shook his head. “We couldn’t figure that out. When we found him, he had already
committed suicide, and the time of death was an hour after he installed the bomb.”
Silvia lowered her gaze. Something was off. If the man genuinely wanted to kill her, he would not have committed suicide before making sure she was dead. There seemed to be only one explanation for his action.
He had an accomplice!
Besides, this seemed to be premeditated. It was probably not the work of Ada’s crazed fan. Otherwise, he would have deliberately let Ada know of his actions.

It seemed he and his accomplice wanted to take advantage of the attention she was p
online after the video of her slapping Ada went viral. They would use online comments and real -life retaliation as a distraction. After killing her, they could manipulate public opinion in that direction.
There should be only one person capable of such a scheme–Scorpion!
He was back!
After figuring everything out, Silvia immediately messaged Dominic.
[Scorpion may have returned to Ryoln City.]
Shortly after, Silvia received a reply from Dominic.
[I was just about to inform you. The maintenance worker involved in the explosion had connections with Scorpion’s men.]
Silvia’s gaze turned cold.
Scorpion would not be so direct in killing her. This was likely a warning.
[Can you find out where he is?]
[He is well–hidden. He has likely obtained a legal identity and is close by. I will try my best to check. You should guard yourself closely.]
[Okay.]
After putting down her phone, Silvia found Neil approaching with a box of medicine and a glass of water. “Take the medicine. I’ve some work to take care of. Rest when you’re tired. The housekeeper will prepare some food. You can have it after you wake up.”
“Okay.”
Silvia took the water and medicine from Neil. After seeing her take the medicine, he silently left the bedroom.
When he reached the door, Silvia’s voice came from behind.
