Chapter 423

Odell glowered at Sylvia before he ordered the bodyguard, “Watch her and do not let her

into the house.”

The bodyguard immediately tailed after Sylvia.

Odell rushed to Tara and watched as Dr. Forger dressed her wound.

The doctor was quick and efficient.

He disinfected the wound, stopped the blood, and dressed it up. Once he was done, Tara’s

hand was wrapped up in a clean bandage.

The doctor then instructed, “Ms. Avery, you must rest more. Before the wound scabs, you

mustn't let it touch water.”

Tara obediently answered, “Understood. Thank you, Dr. Forger.”

“It’s my pleasure.”

The doctor bid goodbye to Odell before leaving.

Tara gazed at Odell. “Odell, I’m fine. Please stop worrying.”

Odell hummed a reply before looking toward Sylvia.

Tara did the same.

However, all they saw was Sylvia leaning back against her wheelchair with her eyes closed.

It seemed as if she had fallen asleep.

Odell and Tara were at a loss of words.

The atmosphere was dreadfully awkward for a few seconds.

A few moments later, Odell ordered through gritted teeth with each word enunciated clearly, “ Wake her

up now.”

The bodyguard immediately did as ordered.

Sylvia opened her eyes almost instantly.

She took one glance at Odell’s dark expression and Tara’s angry one, before leaning back into her

wheelchair again and closing her eyes.

She truly did not want to see them or pay them any attention.

The atmosphere turned awkward once more.

The bodyguard asked softly, “Master Carter, do you want me to wake Mrs. Carter again?”

Odell closed his eyes for a moment and tried to suppress his fury. “Everyone, leave.”

The bodyguard left immediately.

Tara timidly said, “Odell...”

“You too.”

His voice was as cold as ice.

Tara shot Sylvia a defiant look before turning around and walking off.

Suddenly, Odell lifted Sylvia off her wheelchair and over his shoulder.

He strode into the house and headed directly to the bedroom, before promptly dropping her onto the

bed.

Sylvia took a moment to find her bearings.

As soon as she did so, the first thing she saw was Odell’s dark expression.

Odell suddenly bent down to hover over her, effectively trapping her underneath him.

Before Sylvia could push him away, he pulled her face toward himself and kissed her.

Odell was strong and his actions were not gentle in the slightest.

Sylvia kept her lips pursed tightly together.

Even when she felt like she was going to suffocate, she did not make a sound.

That was until she felt Odell begin to unzip her skirt.

Her gaze turned sharp and she bit down on his lips. Odell ignored her biting and continued

to unzip the garment.

Sylvia could bear it no longer and finally shouted, “Odell Carter, stop this right now!”

In an instant, he stopped moving completely.

However, he remained hovering over her. At the sight of her face which was red with anger,

he smirked. “What did you say?”

Sylvia glared at him ferociously.

Noticing that she had gone mute again, Odell narrowed his eyes and his hand went back to

the zipper of her skirt. As his hand travelled up her leg, his warm fingertips caressed her

skin.

Through gritted teeth, Sylvia spat, “Stop it!”

Odell withdrew his hand at her outburst before patting her lightly on the cheek. “So you can

speak. For a while there, I thought you had become a mute.”
