Chapter 385
The two bodyguards that guarded the living room followed her as she started to move around. Sylvia
had a glance at the entrance and headed to the yard for a walk. The two bodyguards followed her like
her shadow. When she was tired of walking, she went back inside to seek other entertainment.
She turned on the television, only to find that it was not connected to the Internet and had no signal.
Fortunately, there were some carving tools and wood pieces that she had previously left behind in her
room. She picked up the wood piece and quietly started carving as she sat on the floor.
Meanwhile in a luxurious ward in Westchester Hospital, Madam Carter was bedridden with a respirator
over her face. Her eyes were tightly shut and there were no signs of her waking up anytime soon.
Odell’s tall and rigid figure sat beside the bed. He had come to the hospital before dawn and had been
sitting beside his grandmother ever since. Suddenly, there was a careful knock at the door.
“Come in,” Odell said. Cliff came in and said in a quiet voice, “Sir, the bodyguards from the mansion
have reported that Madam is being rather quiet. Other than one attempt to leave the house earlier, she

Odell narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Tell them to keep watching her.”
“Yes, sir.” Noticing the grim look on his boss’ face, Cliff continued, “Sir, Isabel and Liam are asking for
Madam and they are throwing a tantrum. Liam has been rather quiet but Isabel has been crying for a
while now. Aunt Tonya tried to calm them down but failed. Do you think we should send them over to
Madam’s place?”
Odell narrowed his eyes coldly, which scared Cliff.
A few moments later, Odell gathered his emotions and said in a calm tone of voice, “Keep an eye on
the two of them. I’ll go back and talk to them later.”
“Yes, sir,” Cliff said with a nod.
The day went by peacefully. The sky was already dark but the bodyguards did not not seem to have
any intentions of
changing shifts or taking any rest. Sylvia put the carved piece of wood down and cooked herself
something to eat. She went to the yard for a walk after the meal and the two bodyguards who guarded
the living room followed her as before. Sylvia thought for a moment before turning around to ask them,
“Are you guys not having dinner?”
The expressionless bodyguards chose to remain silent. Annoyed, Sylvia pursed her lips and returned
to her room. The bodyguards did not follow her to the room on the second floor, so she was alone as
she stood at the northern balcony.
The house had a backdoor but it was as tall as the front gate and the walls around it, which were at
least three meters in height.
There was nothing Sylvia could use to climb over the walls or the door.
After thinking about it, Sylvia pulled two chairs from the room and tossed it over the balcony.
The noise from the chairs attracted the bodyguards’ attention.
All four of them heard the noise beneath the balcony which startled them.
One of the bodyguards at the gate said to the others, “D*mn it! Madam is trying to escape from the
backdoor! Go have a look!”
The three bodyguards immediately scattered and headed to the backdoor, leaving only one to guard

Now that the security at the gate had weakened, Sylvia came out from the living room. She dashed to
the gate quickly, her sudden appearance shocking the lone bodyguard that had been left behind.
The bodyguard tried to stop her but Sylvia grinned and threw a kick at his crotch.
Thud!
“Argh!” The bodyguard screamed in pain.
“I’m sorry!”
Leaving behind her apology, Sylvia tried to open the gate but it was locked and she did not have the
key
Fortunately, the door was only around her height.
Pulling at the top of the door with both hands, she used the force of both her legs to jump and push
hersell up.
Just when she was about to jump over and leave the house, a beam of blinding lights shot at her.
Her eyes were blinded momentarily. By the time she had adapted to the strong light, she
noticed a black sports car had appeared before her eyes.
Through the windshield, she saw Odell in the driver’s seat.
