Chapter 155: A Sorry Sight âYou okay? Honestly, I didnât want to tell you about this, but now, this news is everywhere. If I didnât tell you, youâd find out anyway. So, what are you thinking now?â
Juliet was seriously worried. Initially, she didnât want to burden Sylvia with this news, but knowing Sylvia would find out eventually, she figured it was better to tell her and be by her side.
Sylvia did have a moment of feeling temble, her expression sour, but she quickly regained her composure.
Sheâd known for awhile that there was something different about Cyril and Karinaâs relationship.
Now, hearing about Karinaâs pregnancy, it wasnât as hard to accept as she thought.
just felt like sheâd wasted all these years on genuine feelings.
âDonât worry about me. Iâve known for a while that Cyril and Karina were more than just friends. I just didnât expect Cyril to be twoâfaced about it. Heâs been chasing after me this whole time, and I thought.. never mind. Men are like that, and Karina being pregnant, isnât that a good thing? They were forced apart before, now they re together. Itâs fineâ
âThatâs one way to put it, but Iâm worried you might have a hard time with it. You know how annoying Karina can be, and sheâs been causing trouble for you for years. Cyrill, too. He canât seem to make up his mind. How about this? Iâll call your brother, letâs give Cyril a piece of our minds. How dare he mistreat you?â
âEnough. Donât bother scolding him. The more we scold him, the more heâll think I still care about him, I donât have any feelings for him anymore, so let him do what he wants. Letâs just leave it at that. As for Karina, if she contacts me, Iâll wish them both well. If not, then so be it.â
Sybiachuckled. Despite feeling a bit angry, seeing Juliet angrier somehow eased her. Having a friend by her side made all the difference.
Syhis hugged Juliet, comforting her. âI should be the one more upset about this, but why do you seem angrier? Come on, donât dwell on it too much.â
Juliet thought of something else. She looked at Sylvia and asked, âHow did you know Karina would message you? She just sent an email saying being with Cyril was an accident and not to be mad.
But itâs all so obvious. If you canât see through that, Iâd be amazed.â
Syhia burst out laughing. She knew Karinaâs tactics too well. Over the years, Karina had used every trick to keep Cyril hooked. This time was no different âAlright, since sheâs come to flaunt it, letâs just reply with best wishes for them both and be done with it. We donât need to stay in touch. Isnât that better?â âSigh, okay, okay. I was thinking of giving Cyril a piece of my mind, but if thatâs how you feel, fine. But Iâm still mad for you. They really crossed the line this time.â
âItâs not the first time sheâs crossed the line. And I wonât tolerate it like used to. Whatever they do is their business, but if they bring it to my doorstep, I wonât let them off easy. Anyway, our work for today is almost done. How about treat you to dinner? Letâs relax and forget about them.â
Seeing Juliet so angry made Syhia unable to bear it.
Joliet looked at Sylvia helplessly. âNo, Iâm just venting for you. Why do you always think Iâm the one angry?
âAre you not angry? Sylvia asked back. Jullet couldnât deny it. She was indeed very, very angry, In the afternoon, the two openly skipped work to go shopping. They spent the whole day outside, planning to hit the bar at night.
However, Syhia had to go back suddenly for something, so they had to cancel that plan.
Sylvia owned a property nearby. As she returned, she noticed a severely disheveled man sitting by the bushes.
Or rather, he seemed to have passed out, leaning against the flowerbed, his face dirty, clothes tom, as if heâd been injured.
Sylvia initially didnât want to get involved, but as she took a few steps, she caught a whiff of blood.
She couldnât just let someone die like that. With a sigh, she approached the man and called for help.
âHey, are you okay? Wake up!â
She gently shook the man, but he remained unconscious, Blood still tricked from his body. In the dim light, Syhta didnât dare to examine his wounds, fearing she might worsen them inadvertently.
Luckily, after about twenty minutes, an ambulance arrived. The paramedics loaded the man onto the vehicle, and Sylvia followed. After all, she had discovered him and made the call. She felt responsible.
At the hospital, doctors tended to the manâs wounds. They werenât deep, but there were many.
Hence, the strong smell of blood.
âThe patient doesnât have any major issues, but are you his family? If so, itâs better to admit him.
Oh, and while examining him, we found a tumor in his body.â
Hearing this, Sylvia felt a headache coming on. Sheâd only helped a stranger on a whim, but now it seemed his situation was far more dire âUm, Iâm not his family. I just found him by the roadside. Iâll contact the police to find his relatives.â
The doctor looked puzzled, assuming Sylvia was the manâs wife, But since she wasnât, it wasnât her concem. Plus, the tumor was still a mystery.
