Chapter 389

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. “Are you being obedient today just because of them?”

Sylvia could not tell if he was happy or unhappy about this at the moment. After considering his question,she answered, “Not really.”

Odell continued staring at her with a profound look on his face.

Sylvia continued, “Can you let me see them?”

“No.” His answer was resolute.

Sylvia’s face fell but at the very next moment, she curved her lips into a smile

“Then can I video-call them or just simply call them?”

“No.” His tone remained resolute as before.

Sylvia was disheartened.

Then, with a strong gulp, she asked, “Then can you tell me how they have been doing lately?” If hewould not allow her to see them, he could at least tell her how they were doing. Odell pinched her chinand said with a smile, “A mother of such low character like you is not worthy of knowing how her kids aredoing.” Almost instinctively, Sylvia swung a slap at his face, but he was faster. Before her hand eventouched him, he had caught it and pinned down to the bed. She screamed, “Let go of me!” Odell grinnedand crawled on top of her.

Some time later, he finally released her after he had satisfied his lust again.

Sylvia lay weakly on the bed. He tapped her face and said, “Only when you’ve atoned for your sins, thenyou can think about seeing ther.”

He then got up, got dressed and went out.

Sylvia mustered the last bit of her strength and sat up to throw a pillow at him.

Unfortunately, Odell was already out of the room and the pillow simply hit the door before it fell on thefloor.

Sylvia glared at the door and shouted, “You f*cking b*stard!”

Back at the Carter Residence, it was already late at night but Aunt Tonya was still up.

She was in Isabel and Liam’s room watching the two of them as they slept. Liam was fine and healthybut Isabel was having a fever. She kept crying for her mother but her wish was not granted.

Aunt Tonya and Liam had to coax and convince her for quite some time to take the medicine. Themedicine stabilized her condition temporarily but Aunt Tonya was worried that it might get worseovernight, so she dared not move her eyes away from her.

The girl was obviously fast asleep. She buried her little flushed face in her brother’s arms and clung tohim tightly. Liam also hugged her closely. Aunt Tonya felt bad as she observed the little girl. She knewthat Isabel was a healthy girl and hardly fell ill even when she had been one or two years old.

The reason for her sudden fever must be because she had not been able to see Sylvia for almost a weeknow. The crying and sulking must have taken a toll on her physical and mental health, hence causing thefever.

Aunt Tonya had no idea what had happened as well. Madam Carter was in a coma and Sylvia had beenlocked up by Odell in some mysterious place. Odell had even confiscated the kids’ phone, forbiddingthem from contacting Sylvia. One morning, a few days ago, Odell had even threatened his kids that ifthey continued throwing a tantrum, they would never see their mother again.

Isabel and Liam could not accept that fact, but they were helpless against it. The only option they hadwas to stay quiet and obedient, hence neither of them had continued to ask for Sylvia.

Aunt Tonya started to feel tired and shut her eyes for a little rest.

After a while, Aunt Tonya suddenly heard the little girl groaning in pain. She opened her eyes and placedher hand over the girl’s forehead.

It was burning!

Isabel also woke up. She pouted and said in a small voice, “Aunt Tonya, I don’t feel good.” Aunt Tonyaimmediately said, “Isabel, you’re going to be fine. Wait here, I’ll go get a doctor for you.”

She got up and hurried outside to get help.

Isabel whimpered as she sat up.

Aunt Tonya was away, Liam was asleep, no one else was there to listen to her, so the big baddie wouldnot know if she cried for her mother.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried, “I miss my mommy…”

It was then that an assuring hand patted her head.

Liam woke up and sat beside her. Taking her into his arms, he whispered, “Isabel, just cry all you want.The big baddie won’t be able to hear you.”
