Chapter 406
When Winston lowered his head and saw the insulated bag in his hand, he was stunned.” Silvia, this is…”
Silvia softly said, “This is the chicken soup that Madam Remus drinks every day. I suspect there’s something wrong with it. But when we got it tested, everything turned out normal. I don’t trust the labs out there. Please give it a check
Winston’s expression instantly became solemn. “Okay, I’ll go back and test it now. If there’s any problem, I’ll contact you right away.”
“Okay.”
After Silvia sent Winston away and returned to the ward, she noticed that there was something off about Neil.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Neil looked away and casually said, “You and Winston seem quite close.
Silvia’s heart sank before she immediately said, “I begged him to treat your legs for a long time, and we’ve met many times. It’s no surprise that I’ve become familiar with him.”
Neil remained silent for a few seconds before he looked at her and seriously said, “That’s not what I meant. The way you two get along makes it look like you’ve known each other for many years.”
“You must be imagining things. Instead of thinking about this, you might as well get a few doctors to examine Madam Remus.”
“Since Dr. Russell is preparing the medication, let’s just see what happens after he administers it.”
Silvia planned to wait for the results from Winston’s test too. She nodded and said, “Okay.” Soon, Neil’s subordinates arrived.
When Silvia saw that four of them were going to send her back to the hotel, she felt a little helpless. “Imperial City has good security. I don’t need that many people to send me back.” Even if she encountered danger, she could protect herself.
Neil clearly disagreed. “I’ll be worried if you go back alone. They’ll leave after they send you back,” he said.
Since Neil insisted, she could only agree.
When she went back to the hotel, it was already midnight.
She looked at the time before she sent Dulcie a message. She told her that she was not going to work tomorrow and asked her to call if anything happened.
She thought that Dulcie would already be asleep at this time. Unexpectedly, Dulcie called right after she sent her the text.
“Silvia, you have to sign the contract with Mr. Jones tomorrow. Have you forgotten? If you’re not coming to the company, who’s going to sign it?”
Silvia frowned. “I’m in Imperial City right now. I can’t rush back tomorrow. You’ll have to sign it for me.”
”
“Imperial City? What are you doing there?”
Silvia frowned when Dulcie abruptly raised her voice. “Madam Remus fainted at home. We couldn’t find out the exact reason in Ryoln City, so we sent her to Imperial City. What’s wrong? You had such a big reaction.”
“No–Nothing. Imperial City’s just so far away. I didn’t expect you to go there all of a sudden.”
Silvia did not dwell on it. “I see. I’ll rest now. If anything happens in the company, just call
me”
“Okay.”
After Dulcie hung up, she put down her phone and sighed.
“Should I tell Silvia about Chris saving her? The last time I called him, he didn’t want me to say anything. I really don’t know what he’s thinking.”
Ethan held her in his arms and whispered, “Since Chris wants you to keep it a secret, just pretend as if you don’t know about it. It’s really late. Let’s get some rest.”
“Okay.”
Dulcie sighed. She did not understand why Neil and Chris wanted to hide this from Silvia. When Silvia woke up the next morning, she received a call from Winston.
“Silvia, there really is something wrong with the chicken soup. Where are you now? I’ll meet you right away.
