Chapter 304
“Can’t you let Dulcie handle it? I can also support you for the rest of your life. You don’t even have to work.”
There was hostility in Silvia’s eyes, and her voice sounded a little cold too. “I work because I like it, not because I can’t support myself.”
“Even if you like it, you can’t keep working when you’re sick. You can’t go anywhere else today. You have to rest!”
“Neil, I don’t want to argue with you. The contracts are really important. Besides, I’m not as lucky as Ada who’s been offered a billion dollars!”
The ward fell silent. After a while, Neil finally looked at her and asked, “Are you jealous?”
“I don’t have time to be jealous!”
“No matter what, you’re not going back to the company today.”
After he said this, he made a call in front of her and hired two b*dyguards to guard her ward.
Silvia gritted her teeth in anger. “Who are you to restrict my freedom?”
“I’m your boyfriend, and you haven’t recovered.”
She turned away in annoyance. She marinated in anger for a while before she called Dulcie and asked her to send the contracts over.
Unexpectedly, Dulcie spoke as if she had come to an agreement with Neil, “Silvia, just get some rest today. I’ll handle the contracts.”
“The contracts are really important. You need to be attentive.”
“Got it. Don’t worry. I promise you that nothing will go wrong.
After Silvia hung up, she glared at Neil. “I’m not going back to the company anymore. Can you leave now?”
He nodded and left.
Silvia looked at him and felt inexplicably hurt.
She disliked his controlling nature, but seeing him around when she was sick still moved her.
To her surprise, he actually left when she requested it!
She could not lower her dignity to make him stay, so she just looked away.
The ward door opened and closed before silence filled the ward.
After half an hour, Silvia was about to fall asleep. Just then, someone pushed the door open, which jolted her out of sleep.
Realizing that Neil was back, she frowned and asked, “Why are you back?”
Neil did not seem to notice her displeasure. He walked up to her bed and opened up the small table. Then, he took out some oat porridge and a cup of hot chocolate from an insulated food
box.

“You didn’t have lunch in the afternoon. The doctor said you should eat something light, so I went to buy you some porridge.”
Silvia’s eyes were full of disbelief. “Did you buy this?”
“What else could I do?”
While he spoke, he passed her a spoon.
She did feel slightly hungry at the moment.
“Thank you.”
With that, she lowered her head and ate the porridge. It seemed to warm her heart.
After she finished the porridge, Neil got her to drink some hot chocolate. Then, he cleared. everything and sat down on the bed.
“Does your stomach still hurt?”
Silvia shook her head. “I feel much better now.”
“Okay. About the capital injection into Perficient, I didn’t know that you were the president of MY Corporation back then. Besides, I owed her. In the future-”
Before he could finish, Silvia interrupted him indifferently. “I don’t want to hear about what happened between you and her. I just want you to keep your promise to me.‘
Following a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Okay.”

The warm atmosphere from earlier was gone because he mentioned Ada’s name.
They did not speak again. Both of them knew that Ada was a thorn in their side. She would always hurt their relationship.
The initiative to remove this thorn lay with Neil.
Later, the doctor prescribed some medication for Silvia, and Neil sent her back to the mansion.
“You can rest in your room. Just call me if you need anything. I’ll be in the study.” “I feel much better. You can go back to the company. I’ll be fine,” she slowly said.
