Chapter 91
Back in his office, Darrion could not shake off the annoyance he felt, so he gave Justus a call.
“Mr. Walls, when can we meet? I’d like to discuss the proposal you brought up the other day. After thinking it through, I think it’s an excellent idea!”
After he hung up, his eyes shone with contempt.
He thought. “If you’re going to be so ruthless, don’t blame me for returning the favor, Silvia Pond!”
When Silvia returned to the mansion after work, she found Neil reading some documents in the living room.
After he heard the door open, he set them aside and turned his attention to her. “The housekeeper has prepared dinner. Let’s eat.”
Silvia sat opposite him with a cold expression. “Before that, can you explain why you asked me to help you bathe last night when you were perfectly capable of doing it yourself?”
Neil maintained his composure and met her gaze calmly. “It’s true that I can shower on my own, but it’s more convenient with your help. Besides, you’re my wife. There’s nothing wrong with asking my wife to help me with a bath.”
“I won’t help you anymore!” Silvia said coldly.
Noticing that her ears had turned red, Neil smiled and said, “Okay.”
After dinner, Silvia cleaned the dining table and washed some fruits. Then, she headed to the living room so that she could eat them while she watched TV.
She frowned when she saw Neil sitting beside her. She wondered if he had nothing better to do.
After a while of watching TV, Neil started to get a bit bored. When he saw that Silvia was completely absorbed in the show, he asked, “Is it that interesting?”
“If you don’t enjoy it, you can return to the study or do something else.”
Her indifference left him somewhat displeased. He was about to speak when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Silvia answered the door and was surprised to see David as well as Ryan. Both of them looked tired.
“Are you here to visit Mr. Remus?”
David and Ryan did not expect to see Silvia at the mansion. After they exchanged glances, David said with a smile, “Yes, we hope we didn’t disturb you.”
“No, not at all. Come in.”
Silvia led them to the living room and left to prepare some tea.
David and Ryan sat on the couch with a look of concern.
Neil, on the other hand, wore a cold expression. “Quit looking at me like that. I’m not dead.”
David sighed and asked, “Neil, are your legs truly incurable?”
When Neil got into the car accident, David and Ryan were on a business trip abroad. They learned of it upon their return and rushed over immediately.
“I don’t know for sure, but there probably isn’t much hope. Howard said the injury’s in the same area as the previous one, and it’s more severe this time. It’s practically impossible for me to stand up again.”
Seeing how relaxed he was, David frowned and said, “I’ll go abroad to seek experts in the field. There might still be a glimmer of hope.”
Ryan, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Neil, didn’t that genius doctor, Moon, cure your legs? Why don’t you reach out to them?”
Neil pursed his l*ps. “We can discuss this later.”
Even though he had received treatment from Moon, he had never met the doctor. Therefore, he did not know whether Moon was a man or a woman. Silvia was the only one who had communicated with the doctor.
While Silvia had promised to find a solution for his legs, Neil did not have much hope.
Following a moment of silence, David suddenly said, “Neil, why does it seem like you’re not as concerned about your legs as you were last time?”
Before Neil could respond, Silvia returned with two cups of tea.
She placed them in front of David and Ryan and nonchalantly said, “I’m going back to my room. Call me if you need anything.”
After Silvia left, Neil said with an impassive expression, “When the accident happened, I had a feeling that things wouldn’t turn out well. I already braced myself for the idea that I might never walk again.’
Besides, he had no intention of divorcing Silvia. If it meant that she would always be with him, never walking again did not seem all that terrible.
