Novel Update
Chapter 516
Silvia looked down and took some time to reply, “Madam Remus, Neil and | want to prioritize our career now. We'll talk about it after two years.”
Over the last six months, Ada would send Neil a message and talk about her baby whenever she went for a maternity check. Neil would ignore her at first, but once it got more frequent, he would reply briefly sometimes.
Silvia knew that he felt indebted to Ada because she had saved Abalene and Melanie in the past. Nevertheless, she could not accept having Ada coming in between them again.
“Did Neil do anything to upset you again? When he comes back from his business trip, I'll teach him a lesson!” Abalene said with a frown.
Silvia looked at Abalene with a smile and said, “No, Madam Remus. It has nothing to do with him. My company has finally become stable. | only want to think about marriage after my company develops further.”
When Abalene heard this, her eyes shone with pity. She saw how hard Silvia had been working over the past half a year. If Neil never treated her badly and disappointed her, why would she be working so hard all of sudden?
“Sigh... It’s up to you. | just want you to be happy. If Neil treats you badly, you don’t have to consider my feelings. Just do what you have to do.”
Silvia was touched. She nodded and said, “Okay, Madam Remus.” She left Harmony Yard after dinner. On her way back, she started to think about her relationship with Neil.
These past six months, Neil had been treating her really well. He nearly fulfilled all her requests, yet she always felt a distance between them. No matter how hard they tried, that distance remained.
She realized that something had gone wrong between them, but she was a little lost. She did not know how to fix it. Just as she arrived at the mansion’s entrance, her phone rang.
Silvia immediately took it out, but she was disappointed to see that it was a call from Dulcie.
Neil had been on a business trip for three days, and he had not called her even once.
She had no idea if he had been too busy, or he had just forgotten.
Silvia suppressed her annoyance before she answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Silvia, Chris fell sick, and he’s been hospitalized. | plan to visit him. Would you like to join me?”
Dulcie had also approached Silvia the last time Chris was hospitalized. At that time, Neil had gone missing, so Silvia was focused on looking for him.
Chapter S16
Dulcie wanted to tell Silvia about Chris saving her every time she saw her, but she could not bring herself to say it.
When she received news of Chris’s hospitalization today, her first thought was to inform Silvia.
Even though Silvia had no idea what Chris had done for her, it was good for her to visit him.
Silvia was taken aback, and she immediately started her car. “Where is he admitted? I’m on my way.”
Half an hour later, Silvia walked into Chris’s ward.
His manager, Katherine, was peeling an apple for him. When she saw Silvia, she was momentarily stunned. However, she quickly expressed her displeasure.
“Miss Pond, what are you doing here?”
When Chris saved Silvia from the fire, a chandelier fell on the back of his head and caused some bruising. If he never did that, he would not be experiencing headaches so frequently. He would even feel nauseous and faint on set.
Meanwhile, Silvia had no idea because she never came to visit him.
Chris’s work had been delayed in the past six months. That alone cost tens of millions of dollars. Besides, he had been consistently suffering from the after-effects of the fire!
Silvia was a little baffled when she sensed Katherine's animosity. Despite that, she smiled and asked, “Katherine, have | done anything to offend you? Why do you seem upset with me?”
Katherine was about to mock her, but the bedridden Chris interjected. “Katherine, I’m hungry. Can you buy me some food?”
Katherine looked at him in annoyance, but she still put down the apple and left. Her expression was cold, and she ignored Silvia as she walked past her.
Silvia approached the bed and sat down before she looked at Chris in bewilderment. “Did | offend her without realizing?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
