MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 5 Episode 17

His lips curled up. “Are you planning on going to Edmund after divorcing me?”Sylvia did not want to argue with him about Edmund. Instead, she said, “I want to kill you when I look at you now. Do you think we can still go on together?”Odell’s gaze darkened, and he smirked again. “ We’ll talk again when you actually have the ability to kill me.”Sylvia’s grip tightened. She wanted to slap him, but there was no strength left in her body.She was thirsty, hungry and weak, and her leg throbbed with pain. It would be hard for her to lift her hand, let alone slap Odell.She panted and said, “Why not just send me to jail?”The man grabbed her chin and snarled, “So, you want to join Edmund in jail?”Sylvia said weakly, “It’s because I don’t want to see you again. I feel disgusted whenever I look at you.”She emphasized the word “disgusted.”Odell’s face darkened, and he lowered his head to her. He placed his face right in front of Sylvia, almost touching her. “Say it again?”Sylvia shut her eyes, making it obvious that she did not want to look at him.Odell’s chest felt stuffy and he wanted to pry her eyes open.However, seeing how weak she was now, he swallowed his anger.After a while, he let go of Sylvia’s face and said coldly, “Remember to eat.” He left quickly after that.The door shut with a bang.Sylvia opened her eyes. Glancing at the closed door and the dishes on the small table, and then finally outside the window.It was dark now.She should have been guarding Madam Carter’s room. Now that her leg was broken, Odell must have assigned someone else to do it.Sylvia sat still and stared out of the window in a daze.In the morning, someone suddenly knocked on her door.Sylvia opened her eyes. From outside the door, Violet asked, “Mrs. Carter, are you awake?”Sylvia replied feebly, “What do you want?”Violet then pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Sylvia on the bed, she gasped. “Mrs. Carter, how… How did you end up like this?”At this time, Sylvia’s eyes were red, and she had heavy bags under her eyes. She looked pale, with her hair falling messily around her shoulders, and even her pajama collar had fallen to one side.She also looked very skinny, more like a ghost than a human.Violet immediately put the porridge and snacks on her tray at the bedside and said, “Mrs. Carter, Master Carter ordered the kitchen to prepare these. You haven’t eaten for a whole day. Please have some.”Sylvia moved her dry lips. “How’s Grandmother?”Violet replied, “Still the same, but don’t worry. Master Carter hired another caretaker to guard Madam Carter during the night. You don’t have to

go there anymore.”Sylvia hummed in reply and said, “You can leave now. I’d like to be alone.”“Okay. Please remember to eat the food.”“Okay.”Violet then left.Sylvia did not have an appetite, so she sat without moving and without touching the food. Soon, her brain became foggy and she wondered if it was due to her exhaustion or weakness.She closed her eyes and fell asleep.After some time, while she was still in a daze, she heard someone calling her and patting her on the head.With difficulty, Sylvia opened her eyes and saw Odell’s frosty face before her. His dark eyes stared at her fiercely as if he wanted to tear her apart.Sylvia did not want to see him so she closed her eyes again.Odell pulled her up and snapped, “Eat first before you go back to sleep! ”
