Sylvia sheathed the sharp look in her eyes and softened her tone, “When did you turn around?”

“Just now.”

As soon Odell answered, he drew closer to the bed and leaned in toward Sylvia. He took her chin in his hand and said with a coy

smile, “Repeat what you just said.”

Sylvia repeated, slightly puzzled, “When did you turn around ?”

“No, the previous sentence.”

Sylvia’s confusion was ever-growing.

She looked at him evasively.

His handsome face was only inches from her. He had a self satisfied smile and seemed rather amused by the current situation.

How was he so amused when Sylvia was upset at him only a moment ago?

Unsure of what was on his mind, Sylvia decided to play it off. “I forgot what | said.”

“Huh?” Odell grunted icily.

Sylvia’s eyes narrowed and she carefully whispered, “I said, who told you to turn around?”.

“You said it in a different tone just now,” he said with a stern look on his face.

Sylvia added a tint of aggression to her voice,”Who told you to turn around?”

“More assertive.”

Sylvia tried her best. “...Who told you to turn around?!”

“Which part don’t you understand?” He grabbed her chin and commanded fiercely,“More assertive!”

Sylvia felt greatly troubled by what he was making her do, she channeled her frustration and roared, “Who told you to turn

around?!”

Immediately after that, Odell cracked a queer smile. He seemed rather satisfied with Sylvia’s display.

He gently caressed her cheek. “Just like that. From here on, you don’t have to suppress your emotions anymore. Let it all out if

you're angry.”

Sylvia frowned. “What's wrong with you?”

As soon as she said that, a black look surfaced on Odell’s face.

Sylvia pursed her lips.

Asilence fell upon them.

Sylvia muttered meekly, “You told me to not suppress my emotions, didn’t you?”

“| said that you shouldn’t suppress your emotions. | didn’t tell you to get angry at me.” He immediately tapped Sylvia on her head

upon saying this.

He did it playfully so it did not hurt in the slightest.

Sylvia pursed her lips and muttered,

“Okay.”

Her stomach began to growl.

Her expression stiffened.

Odell smiled and asked,

“Hungry?”

Sylvia nodded.

“Yeah”.

“Just one second. I'll get them to bring food here.”

“Okay.”

Odell took out his phone and made a call.

Within a few minutes, a nurse walked in with a platter of nutritious food. She set the platter next to the bed before leaving.

Odell sat down on the edge of the bed and moved the dishes onto a retractable table in front of Sylvia.

She looked at his slender hands that were operating swiftly, setting the meal for her. Something occurred to her and she asked,

“Have you eaten yet?”

“Just had dinner with Aunt Tonya and thekids.”

“Okay.”

Sylvia picked up the cutlery and began eating.

After she had her fill, she lay back on the bed.

Odell put the cutlery and plates back onto the cart that the nurse had brought in, and then made a phone call.

After a while, the nurse came over and pushed the cart out.

The ward fell silent again.

Sylvia looked at him, her eyes wide open.

Odell sensed her staring at him and confronted her gaze.

She promptly closed her eyes.

He smiled and chuckled to himself.

After a while, her breathing gained a slow and steady rhythm as she had fallen asleep. That was when he rose and moved to a

nearby couch.

He had been awake for nearly twenty-four hours and was beginning to feel tired as well.

He leaned on the couch, then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

After an indiscernible amount of time, he heard a knock on the door.

He slowly opened his eyes to steal a peek.

There was a window attached to the door and from the window, he immediately recognized Lily who was standing outside.
