Chapter 159
After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Sylvia would like to see what secret the three were hiding from her.
However, Skyla stopped her, "Why are you so worried about a
housekeeper? She's sick. You don't want to catch her disease, do
you?"
âI'm not afraid.â Sylvia pushed her away and went upstairs.
Skyla anxiously grabbed Otto's arm. "Sweetie, what should we do
now?"
"What should we do? Nothing!" Otto shook her hand away and followed
Sylvia in anger and irritation.
Sylvia rushed upstairs to the second floor.
As she approached, the coughing was getting closer and closer.
It seemed that the sound came out of the attic instead of one of the
rooms.
Sylvia wouldn't have found anything wrong with it if Otto and Skyla
weren't acting so guiltily. Since they were hiding something from her,
she would like to see what it was.
It was stuffy and suffocating in the attic.
Was the housekeeper living there?
And now she was sick. It would be even worse living in the attic.
Just as she arrived at the attic and her hand was on the doorknob, she
was about to push the door open.
Otto caught up with her and said, "Sylvia, I have something important
to ask you."
Sylvia glanced at him and her hand paused on the doorknob. "What is
it?"
"It's about Mr. Wilson."
Sylvia arched her eyebrows and looked at him. âThe more you act like
this, the more I want to know who is living in the attic.â
She heard a violent cough again.
It was the closest she had ever been to the sound.
Sylvia suddenly widened her eyes in shock. The voice was familiar.
She was outraged and pushed the door open.
Then, she saw that in the narrow space of the attic placed a small bed,
on which lay an old lady with a pale face.
The attic was filled with dust and sundries.
There was a terrible smell in the air.
Of course, anyone would get sick staying here.
Sylvia stared at the haggard old lady in bed.
"Grandma!"
Kira was curling up in bed at this moment. She had been feeling dizzy
in her head.
When she heard the familiar voice, she slowly opened her eyes and
recognized the woman in front of her. "Sibbie, is that you?"
She sounded weak and her voice was low.
"Grandma, how are you?" Sylvia squatted down by the bed and held
her hand.
âI'm fine,â Kira smiled at her and then closed her eyes again.
"Grandma!" Sylvia immediately took her pulse while calling the hospital.
âI'm Sylvia Andrews, send an ambulance to the Andrews Residence. I
will send you the address later.â
After sending the address, Sylvia glanced at Otto, Skyla, and Tammy.
"Sylvia, listen to me..." Otto felt a chill down his spine and looked at
Sylvia nervously. Sylvia looked intimidating, and even he was
intimidated.
Sylvia shouted, "Shut up!"
"How dare you talk to father like that! You've gone too far!" Tammy
yelled at her.
âYou don't get a say in here." Sylvia glanced at her and then looked at
Otto again, "I thought grandma was living happily with you, but never
had I expected that you were abusing her."
"You'd better watch your words! No one has been abusing her. We
have been taking good care of her. She was the one who insisted on
moving into the attic!" Upon hearing Sylvia's words, Skyla raised her
voice and spoke.
"She's terribly ill. However, you have done nothing and you lied to me
about it. Why?" Sylvia squinted her eyes. "Skyla, do you think I am a
fool?"
Skyla opened her eyes wide and looked aggrieved. âI am your
stepmother. You have no respect for your elders. Do you?"
"Sylvia, we are your elders. Moreover, we haven't been abusing your
grandma! Since she came from the countryside, she hasn't been used
to life in the city. She claimed that it was quieter in the attic.â Otto knew
that he could never admit the fact that he had been abusing his own
mother.
"You are still lying." Sylvia sneered, "You think I wouldn't find the
evidence?"
She had enough of talking to the three. She was so mad that she
wished she could turn the three into the police.
However, she was reminded of her own family name, Andrews.
She had to suppress the anger inside her and make a plan.
She texted Vaild, "Tell Dakota to investigate the financial and tax
problems of the Andrews Group. Hack into their systems and get the
evidence."
"Yes!"
Vaild turned his chair to face Mark, "Sylvia's finally targeting the
Andrews Group."
"Otto Andrews has used all sorts of dirty tricks. Sylvia has been
enduring him for a long time," Mark sneered and spoke.
Then, he sent a message in the group chat, "Everyone, we are onto the
Andrews Group!"
At the same time, in the Andrews Residence, the ambulance had
arrived and the head of the Emergency Department had come along
with the nurses and doctors. "Dr. Sylvia, where's the patient?"
âIn the attic,â Sylvia said.
âLet me help her downstairs!" Otto said with guilt. It would be
embarrassing if they found that he had been letting his sick mother live
in the attic.
Skyla echoed, "Yes, thank you for coming. We can carry her downstairs
by ourselves.â
Seeing the angry look on Sylvia's face, the head of the Emergency
Department knew that there must be something unpleasant.
He immediately led the nurses and doctors upstairs. Everyone frowned
when they saw what was in the attic.
They all looked at the Andrews with disdain and doubt.
Tammy stood there and felt embarrassed that all her colleagues saw
her ill grandma staying in the attic.
"Dr. Sylvia, let's go."
The head of the Emergency Department said to Sylvia respectfully, as if
he worked under her.
Tammy was confused.
She stopped him and asked, "Is she really a doctor?"
âYou should be a nurse in the Surgical Department. She's the best
surgeon in the hospital, don't you know that?" the head of the
Emergency Department looked at Tammy and then at Sylvia.
When he was talking to Tammy, he seemed to look down upon her.
But when he looked at Sylvia, there was respect and admiration on his
face.
How snobbish!
âI... I am her sister!" Tammy said, lowering her head.
"We don't share a mother." After that, Sylvia walked out of the house.
