MASTER ODELL’S SECRET EX-WIFE - Season 9 Episode 20

Isabel and Liam went home with Sebastian after having dinner with Odell

The large medical ward was suddenly filled with silence

Odell leaned back against the bed, his cold eyes staring out the window.

Soon, Cliff entered the room

He brought a few documents and relayed several reports to Odell

After he was done with the report, he asked in a low voice, “Sir, do you have any other orders?”

Odell said in a sharp voice, “What’s the situation with her?”

Awhole day had already passed. What on earth could she be so busy with that she still had not come to see him?!

Observing Odell’s expression, Cliff answered cautiously, “Two of our men have been assigned to keep an eye on Miss Sylvia. She took a two-hour nap after lunch. Then after she woke up, she just sat on the balcony and sort of zoned out for a while. She watched some television after that and went off to get dinner at

a restaurant nearby before heading back to her place again.”

As Cliff went on, his voice gradually grew softer

The ward seemed to become quieter while the temperature inside seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

The face of the man on the bed became darker as he asked, “That’s all she did today?”

“Yes, nothing else.”

“Is she a pig?”

Even pigs were more productive than her!

If she had that much time to laze about at home, why could not she take a taxi and come to visit him at least? Cliff spoke softly, “Should | contact her? | can ask her to come.”

Odell glared at him venomously, “Do | look like | want to see her?”

Cliff stammered “No… No, you don’t.”

Odell picked up the book again and continued to read.

Underneath the ceiling lights, his handsome face looked quite ominous.

Cliff suddenly added, “Sir, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. Don’t you want to sort out your discharge from the hospital first?” Odell glared at him coldly, “Get out of here.”

Cliff obliged and hurriedly scrambled away.

The next day, Sylvia slept until she woke up naturally.

She was all alone at home. After having breakfast, she went to work putting up decorations on the windows and the door to celebrate the New Year. Having done all that, she went back to the couch.

Today was New Year’s Eve and after midnight, it would be the commencement of a new year. She took out her phone and pulled up Aunt Tonya’s contact number before proceeding to call her. As before, the phone on the other end still seemed to have been turned off.

She tightened her grip on the phone.

It was no big deal, she could wait a little longer.

Westchester Hospital.

Lily went to see Odell after breakfast but ended up being denied entry by Cliff. Cliff stated politely, “Miss Lily, Master Carter has some very important matters to deal with right now. Why don’t you go back first?” Lily frowned and asked, “What kind of important matters?”

“Its work-related and highly confidential.” Cliff stated curtly

The look in Lily’s eyes shifted. She suddenly smiled and said,” Okay, then I’ll come back in the afternoon.”

“You don’t have to come in the afternoon either.”

Her expression tensed up, “Why?”

“He’s going to be busy the entire day.”

“Today is New Year’s Eve, is he going to work the entire day?”

Cliff nodded, “Yes.”

Lily took a quick glance at the ward before she promptly turned and left

Cliff stood nailed to the same spot and waited until she entered the elevator before heading back into the ward himself.

A gust of cold wind blew in through the open windows

Odell’s tall figure was standing next to the window as he smoked a cigarette.
