MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 8 Episode 64

Odell did not linger and strode in.

Then, he saw the figure on the bed, wrapped in the quilt and shivering. He walked directly to the bed, raised his hand, and ripped the quilt off her body.

He instantly stripped the large quilt cocooning her and threw it onto the floor with one hand. Then, he suddenly froze.

At that moment, Sylvia was curled up in a ball with both hands violently gouging herself. Her wrists and the back of her hands were all covered in blood and dripped down. However, she seemed to feel no pain and continued to scratch herself.

Her blood was reflected in Odell’s dark eyes, and he shouted coldly, “Stop that!” Sylvia’s fingers trembled before continuing again.

At the same time, her tear-blurred eyes looked at him without focus. Her voice trembled and was filled with careful pleading. “I’m sorry, | didn’t mean to ruin Aunt Ramona’s birthday party. | just wanted to see Liam and Isabel. Don’t send me back to Galston. | don’t want to go back. Please don’t send me back…”

His breath suddenly stuck in his throat, making him unable to breathe. After freezing for a moment, he bent down, grabbed her wrists, and forcefully separated her hands.

Her loose sleeves fell to her elbows. He caught a glimpse of her two slender arms and the two cuts on them that had long since faded into scars. The marks were stark and harsh.

His body tensed up uncontrollably, and his gaze honed in on her. He restrained his emotions and asked in a low voice, “What are these injuries?”

Sylvia bit her lip.

“| asked you where these injuries came from!” He could not help but raise his voice.

Sylvia instantly shuddered, but she continued to bite her lip and said nothing.

He was so angry that his eyes turned red, and the veins at the corners of his forehead rippled.

“Do you want to see the children?” he suddenly asked.

Sylvia immediately looked at him, her eyes becoming clear at once. “Yes, will you let me see them?”

“Sure.” He looked at her and said clearly word for word, ” | can let you see the children, but you have to tell me what happened during the six months you were in Galston with him.”

Sylvia’s face went white, and she replied in a trembling voice, “Nothing happened. Nothing happened in those six months.”

“Tell me! What exactly did he do to you to turn you into this state?!” he shouted in a heavy voice. His face was so cold that it was frightening. Sylvia trembled and wanted to scratch herself again. However, her hands were forcefully pried apart, so her fingers could only scratch the air.

Odell closed his eyes and forcefully suppressed the anger that he could not stop. Then, he picked her up from the bed and walked out in large steps. He hugged her very tightly.

Sylvia pressed against his body and felt the heat emanating from him. Her uncontrollable emotions inexplicably stabilized considerably, but she asked quietly, “Where are you taking me?”

“To the hospital,” he said coldly.

Sylvia shrunk her neck and asked, “Which hospital?”

Odell looked down at her.

Her eyes were red with fear and unease as if she was afraid that he would take her to some horrible place. He was silent before replying, “A hospital for traumatic injuries.”

She immediately let out a breath of relief.

The man withdrew his eyes, frowned deeply, and walked faster. It did not take long to get out of her house and put her in the car. He got in right after that and instructed the driver, “Go to the nearest hospital.”

“Yes, sir,” the driver answered and started the car. The car was silent. Odell’s face was cold as he stared ahead. However, soon, he noticed something wrong with his peripheral vision.

Sylvia, who was placed in the seat next to him, was inching closer to him. It was as if she wanted to be close to him but was afraid to be too close for fear of being discovered by him, so she moved very carefully. Odell pursed his lips.
