Chapter 1048

Sylvia instinctively mumbled ‘yes‘ and quickly regretted it when she met the gaze in Odell‘s eyes.

Although he was also drenched in sweat, he still seemed rather energetic.

It was a trap!

She wondered if she would even have the strength to walk out of the shower if she agreed to go with him.

Tl

“That's alright. I'll go by myself.”

After that, she scurried out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Odell lay on his side and watched her all the while, chuckling at her escape.

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was a customized notification only triggered when receiving messages from a

specific sender.

He sat up and picked up the phone.

It was a message from Skylar. “Master Carter, | got in touch with the clairvoyant at last. He told me that the reason | could not

help Sylvia restore all her memories was that | was going too fast. My skills were not honed yet, and | was rushing things. He told

me that | should

perform the hypnosis a few more times and that there's a strong chance that it will help her restore all her monies.”

On the day after Sylvia went to Glanchester, he had gone to Skylar when he was on the way to join Sylvia and had requested

Skylar to contact the clairvoyant again.

She must have only just tracked down the clairvoyant today.

He pondered for a moment and replied, “Got it.”

Skylar asked uncertainly, “Umm... You've brought her home, haven't you?”

Odell replied, “Yes.”

“That's good to know. | should be in Westchester by noon tomorrow. I'll head straight to your place to look for her.”

Odell frowned and told her, “You shouldn't come here just yet.” “Why not? Did something happen between you two?”

“We're doing great.”

Skylar did not press the issue and replied, “Okay, I'll wait for your update then.”

Odell set his phone down. He turned in the direction of the bathroom with a grim expression.

He could not let Skylar try hypnosis on Sylvia again.

If her memories from the past years were restored, that

would complicate things so much more.

She would remember the crushing pain of having her leg broken, of how Tara almost murdered her at Cloudy Heart Lake, and

she would remember the sixty slaps.

The sound of running water inside the shower stopped suddenly.

Odell quickly wiped away the solemn look in his eyes.

Shortly after that, the door was opened, and Sylvia emerged in a set of light pajamas. It took all the strength in her to keep her

eyes pried open. When she got to the bed, she closed her eyes and collapsed without even sparing a glance at Odell.

Odell smiled and immediately pulled her into his arms.

Sylvia could smell the scent of sweat on him. Despite feeling revolted, she was too tired to do anything about it and could only

mumble groggily, “Go take a shower.” Odell murmured, “Later.”

“You have to go now.”

“Yeah.” He embraced her tightly and refused to let go.

After a while, her breathing took on a slow and steady rhythm. He gently lowered her to the pillow and kissed her on the

forehead before getting up to go to the bathroom.

The next morning, the heat woke Sylvia up again. She opened her eyes and was instantly greeted by the sleeping Odell in front

of her. He had his arms wrapped around her and was facing her.

Sylvia gently moved his arm away because it was too hot. Odell slowly opened his eyes and immediately smiled.” Morning.”

“Hehe...”

As soon as he said that, he heard a soft giggle from behind, so he turned around.
