Chapter 81
“Miss Pond, when will you return? Plenty of files have piled up in the last few days. There are matters that need to be resolved, and the shareholders are growing unhappy.”
“Send the files to the hospital. You can bring them back after I send them,” Silvia said.
“Okay, I’ll come over now.”
Dulcie arrived in less than half an hour.
Silvia then asked the nurse to look after Neil and call her if anything happened.
An hour later, she was done signing all the documents.
“Dulcie, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I might have to stay in the hospital for some time. Moving forward, you can sign the documents yourself if they’re not high-priority.”
“Got it.”
After Dulcie left, Silvia made her way back to Neil’s ward.
When she approached the ward door, she saw many doctors and nurses surrounding the bed. Had Neil regained consciousness?
She immediately stepped inside as Dr. Howard spoke to Neil about some precautions. Just then, she heard Ada’s gentle voice from the center of the crowd.
“Okay. I’ll remember, Dr. Howard. I’ll make sure that Neil follows them.”
Dr. Howard wondered why Ada was there when Silvia had clearly been keeping watch.
However, it was inappropriate for him to get involved in their personal lives. After he nodded, he turned to leave.
When he saw Silvia standing behind the nurses, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. “Miss Pond, you’re back. Mr. Remus is awake.”
Silvia nodded. As she was about to speak, Ada suddenly said, “Dr. Howard, Neil just regained consciousness. If the ward’s crowded, it might cause him breathing difficulties. Everyone should step out first. I’ll inform you immediately if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
Once Dr. Howard left, Ada could finally let her guard down. She ignored Silvia and looked at Neil with a kind expression.
“Neil, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?”
Neil wore a pleasant expression and a faint smile too. “I’m not hungry. Ada, you can go home and rest.”
When Neil first regained consciousness, he immediately saw Ada standing guard outside his ward. He never found Silvia after
he looked around, and his heart was filled with a sense of loss.
Later, he learned that Ada had looked after him tirelessly for three full days. Her actions touched him and made him feel sorry for her. At the same time, he was displeased with Silvia.
Although they were about to get a divorce, it had not been finalized. It was cruel of her to leave him alone.
When Neil thought about it, he felt utterly disappointed.
Ada immediately shook her head. “I’m not tired, Neil. I’ll look after you.”
“Okay.”
Neil’s eyes were full of helplessness and affection. It was completely different from his previous attitude toward Ada, so Silvia frowned.
She had a feeling that something happened while she was gone.
However, it had nothing to do with her. She did not want to get involved in their relationship.
Silvia walked forward and spoke indifferently, “Since you’re conscious, I’ll go back now.”
She hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell Neil about his leg injury. She would tell him when he got better.
Neil appeared aloof and remained silent as if he did not see her.
She did not say anything else either and prepared to leave.
When Silvia reached the door, she suddenly heard his cold and indifferent voice behind her.
“You don’t have to come back. I’ll be fine with Ada around.”
She halted in her steps for a moment, but she never turned around. In the end, she just picked up her pace as she walked out.
After she disappeared, Neil’s expression instantly darkened. He swung his hand, and the glass on the bedside table fell to the floor. It shattered into pieces and frightened Ada.
