A weird silence filled the place for a few seconds before Idris hurriedly said, âPlease have a seat, Mr. Remus.â
After that, he asked Mindy to get him some tea.
Mindy was enraged. She did not expect Silvia to seduce Neil after their divorce. She realized why Ada rarely talked about Neil anymore. It was all because of Silvia.
Her hand trembled with anger. As she looked down at the boiling tea, a wicked idea suddenly occurred to her.
If Silviaâs face was ruined, Neil would lose interest and certainly get back together with Ada.
Silvia did not notice the imminent danger. She chatted with Bethany and learned that she would be discharged in a few days. With that, Silvia said nothing more.
Besides, she was not close to Bethany since they would only meet during the holidays. She never tried to please Bethany since she knew that the latter disliked her like the others.
Suddenly, everyone heard a panic-stricken voice.
âWatch out!â
She turned around and saw Mindy losing her balance. At the same time, the cup in Mindyâs hand fell toward Silvia.
The consequences would be unimaginable if the boiling water landed on her face.
Silvia was about to dodge it, but Neil grabbed her wrist and abruptly pulled her to the side.
As a result, the water splashed on his arm instead.
After she steadied herself, Silvia quickly pulled his arm over and found it covered in blisters.
Blood drained from Mindyâs face because she never expected to accidentally burn Neil.
âI-Iâm sorry. I didnât mean it... I slipped and fell...â
Idris immediately slapped her and scolded her, âUseless! You canât even make tea properly!â
Although Mindy was furious, she dared not say anything as guilt was written all over her face.
Ignoring them, Silvia pulled Neil up and said, âLetâs get a doctor to tend to your wound.â
After they informed the doctor about Neilâs burn, the doctor tended to his wound with haste and advised him to avoid getting water into his wound.
On their way back to Bethanyâs ward, Silvia looked at Neil and said, âIâm sorry for this, Mr. Remus.â
When Neil caught the guilt in Silviaâs eyes, he muttered, âItâs okay because itâll heal in a few days, but Mrs. Pond did that on purpose.â
His words filled Silvia with hostility. âI know. I just didnât expect her to hate me that much.â
âI wonât let her off the hook this time.â
âWhat are you planning to do?â she asked.
Neil had an unfathomable expression as he explained, âPond Corporation has been negotiating for a large business deal recently. Theyâll lose their capital chain and risk bankruptcy if they fail to secure this deal.â
Silvia kept her head low as she pondered over it. Idris would never let Mindy go if he learned that she had ruined his chances for a collaboration.
Silviaâs silence prompted Neil to continue, âIâll pretend that it didnât happen if you donât want me to do anything.â
She shook her head and spoke ruthlessly.
âNo, she hurt you. I wouldnât let it go even if you refused to do anything about it.â
When Neil looked down and noticed how aloof she was, he suddenly felt sorry for her. Mindy must have let her down many times for her to be so cold.
âJust leave it to me. Although the Pond Family isnât nice to you, others might attack you blindly if you go against the Pond Family.â
Silvia looked up at Neil and nodded. âOkay.â
Idris was the only one left at the ward.
When he saw Neilâs bandaged arm, he kept apologizing. âIâm so sorry for todayâs accident, Mr. Remus.â
Neil treated him coldly. âYou donât have to apologize.â
Idris was stunned. Before he could react, Neil said something that caused him greater despair.
