Chapter 578

Tears began to roll down Tara’s cheeks.

“lam not asking for forgiveness. | just hope that my actions have not affected you too badly. | really, really hope that you can live

a happy life with Sylvia, every single day. Then, even if | die, | will be able to rest in peace.”

There was an annoyed look on Odell’s face. “You are just weak, you won’t die.”

Tara bitterly smiled. “Dying is better than living in extreme guilt and pain.”

“What happened is all in the past now and | will consider that we’re now even. | won't hold you responsible for what you did, so

don’t be so harsh on yourself.” “Okay, I'll do whatever you want.” Glancing at her phone, Tara looked at him with anticipation and

said, “Odell, | still have to work later tonight and I’m running late. Could you give me a ride? It’s just outside the Old District. |

promise that after this, | won’t appear before you anymore. Let’s just think of this as the conclusion to our relationship. Please?”

Odell glanced at his watch and saw that it had already passed midnight.

Both Isabel and Liam should already be asleep.

That woman had probably done so as well.

After thinking a while, he said, “Okay.”

There was only one small hospital near Sylvia’s place. However, there was a major roadblock along the only way to the hospital

due to the earlier car accident.

Fortunately, her place was close to the Old District, which was only a twenty minutes drive away. Sylvia arrived at the bigger

hospital at Old District with Aunt Tonya.

After handling the registration, Aunt Tonya requested for a wheelchair for Sylvia before she pushed her to the doctor’s

consultation room.

They soon came to an elevator. However, since the building was more than ten stories high, they had to wait for quite some time

for the elevator to reach the first floor.

Ding!

The doors slid open.

Just as Sylvia was about to wheel herself in, she looked up and saw a tall, familiar figure

The man was dressed in a well-cut suit, matched with an overcoat. The aura that he exuded was cold and stern,

It was Odell. Sylvia was not only shocked by his appearance but also ‘Tara’s, who was beside him as if she was his wife.

Tara looked weak and pale, like a small animal that needed protection

Sylvia’s expression turned cold,

Both Odell and Tara’s expressions changed as well when they saw her. Odell strode to her and stared at her leg, “What

happened to your leg?”

Sylvia felt chills running up and down her spine, the cold seeming to freeze her from her heart to the rest of the body.

She scoffed and said, “So you came here to accompany her?”

Odell frowned.

Before he could explain, ‘Tara immediately said, “Sylvia, it’s not what you think. Odell just happened to save me from some

gangsters and | asked him to give me a lift.”

Just a coincidence?

“What a coincidence. So, you just happened to be chased by gangsters and just so happened to be saved by Odell? Tara, don’t

tell me it's one of your schemes again,” Sylvia said coldly. Tara’s gaze changed and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Weakly, she said, “You are free to believe whatever you want as long as you don’t misunderstand Odell.”

“My my. It’s been a while since we've met and | have to say that your acting skills have gotten better.”

Tara wiped her tears away as she choked up. Sylvia laughed. “Tara, please stop. | didn’t really say that much. You don’t need to

put on such a big act.” Tara continued to weep as she said to Odell, “Odell, I'll leave you two alone now. I'll take my leave now.”

Covering her face, she immediately ran outside the hospital. Before she could run far, she slipped on the slippery ice and fell to

the ground. “Hmph!” Sylvia scoffed. Odell shot a gaze at Sylvia. “Enough.” Sylvia turned to Aunt Tonya and said, “Aunt Tonya,

let's go up.” Aunt Tonya immediately pushed Sylvia into the elevator. Sylvia saw Odell walk to Tara but the doors slid to a close

before she could see what he would do with her.

The elevator went up.

Sylvia clenched her hands into fists, the palms of her hands were cold and clammy. Looking at her injured calf, she felt a sense

of irony.
