Chapter 414
Tara had split her skull as lines of crescent-red blood spilled out of the cut. She had already long since
fainted.
Odell grabbed her before she collapsed on the ground and cast a leery look at Sylvia. Then, he
instructed the bodyguards, “Take her back and watch over her closely.”
"Yes, sir.” The bodyguards stepped up to the task.
Odell did not waste another second and went into the car with Tara in his arms.
Sylvia was also carried off by the bodyguards toward the direction of the house.
A chilly gust of wind beat on her worn-out body.
She frowned and looked up at the sky above, still reeling back from the shock of what transpired.
She was not expecting Tara to resort to such drastic measures.
Westchester Hospital.
Tara was carted out of the emergency room.
She was already awake by this point, but her face was sickly pale. There were layers upon layers of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbandages wrapped around her forehead. She still looked very weak.
Odell was waiting outside.
Tara's eyes began to water the moment she saw him.
Her lips quivered as she spoke in an anguished voice, " Odell, it wasn’t me who hurt Grandma."
He murmured, "I believe you. Just get some rest first. We can talk about this later."
Tara groaned softly.
Odell accompanied her to the ward.
Noticing that her eyes were still wide open, he tried to coax her, “Come on, get some rest.”
Tara tugged at his hand weakly. "Odell, would you stay with me? I’m scared of being by myself.”
“Alright, I'm not leaving. I'll leave when you feel better."
“Okay.”
Tara then closed her eyes to rest.
Odell sat sullenly on the chair next to the bed.
Shortly after, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
He picked up the call and put the phone to his ear, “ Find anything?"
It was Cliff who answered on the other end of the phone, “Master Carter, just as you requested, I went
through the list of people who were present at the resort on the day of Madam Carter’s accident. I don’t
see Ms. Avery’s name, nor did I see anyone who’s closely affiliated with her.”
Odell frowned a little as he looked at Tara who was lying on the hospital bed.
Soft and fragile as she was, she had been devoted to him from the very beginning, never once had she
left his side.
To think that he suspected her over some trite and inconsequential things she did in the past.
He must have been utterly fooled by Sylvia, the wretched woman who had betrayed him time and time
again!
A chilling look surfaced inside his dark pupils.
He got up and left.
Suddenly, he felt Tara grabbing his hand again.
She slowly opened her eyes and stared at him blankly, "Odell, don't leave.”
A sharp look appeared in Odell's eyes as he turned to her. “Get some rest first. I'll see you later."
Tara grimaced, tears immediately trickled down her cheeks again. “Do you still suspect me of hurting
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandma? I never did anything remotely close to hurting her. You have to believe me, Odell.”
Odell raised his hand and gently caressed her head. "I know Sylvia is trying to frame you."
The look in Tara's eyes shifted upon hearing this. She suddenly supplied, “Odell, maybe she didn't
mean to hurt Grandma either. You had to go through so much just to remarry her. Don’t make such a
fuss about it...
Hnghh.”
Nearing the end of her sentence, she suddenly winced from a sharp throb of pain in her head.
A solemn look came upon Odell’s face. He took a deep breath before announcing, "Don't worry, I'll take
care of it."
Tara smiled weakly and asked in a low voice, “Would you come to see me later?"
Tears were still swelling in her eyes. Her terribly pale complexion and the thick bandages wrapped
around her head only added to the pity Odell felt for her at that moment.
Odell promised solemnly. "You just focus on resting. I promise you I’ll make things right.”
With that, he strode out.
Tara looked at his departing figure and the bone chilling aura emanating out of his body. She curled her
lips into a wry smile.
Surely, he would not forgive Sylvia this time.
At Odell’s house.
Sylvia was taken back to the residence and flung onto the floor of the living room.
