Chapter 647

Suddenly, a silver car swerved in from the side of the road and stopped in front of her.

Sylvia recognized that it was Thomas in the driver’s seat.

She was taken aback. “Thomas?”

Thomas got out of the car and walked up to her, towering over her with his height. “I’m here to see

Grandma.”

She muttered a curt “Oh.” in response.

Thomas put a hand forward and touched her head, then he stared at her hazel eyes. “Why are you up

so early?”

She strained an unconvincing smile. “I just happened to wake up early.” “You have bags under your

eyes. Did you not sleep last night?” he asked. She avoided his gaze and brushed it off. “I slept okay.”

He softly rubbed the corner of her eyes with his warm fingertips, his voice was gentle and comforting.

“Is there something bothering you?” 1 Sylvia frowned. She was moved by the tenderness in his voice.

So moved that she wanted to confide everything in him, but she figured that he would not be pleased to

find out that it was about Odell.

Before she could find a way to answer the question, Thomas spoke in a low, mellow voice, “Is it

because of my brother?”

She immediately cast him a look.

He wore the same understanding expression and said, “I saw the news. The corporation is a mess now

and it seems like he’s going to get pushed out.”

Sylvia answered, “I just saw the news too.”

Thomas gently patted her head again. “Don’t worry, he’s very resilient. I’m sure nothing bad will happen

to him.”

It was true. He was nearly killed by his stepmother before he even reached adolescence and survived

all by himself. Surely he was still the same Odell, made of something greater than steel.

However, she could not be so confident when she remembered the way he was relying on alcohol to

sustain himself now.

Thomas suddenly caressed her cheeks again with his slender, pointed fingers. A darker tone surfaced

in his voice. “I’m going to get upset if you keep worrying about him.”

Sylvia pursed her lips. “I’m sorry Thomas. I didn’t want things to be this way either.”

If only she had not seen the sapphire ring, then Odell would not have told her about all his internal

monologue back when Spencer kidnapped her and Tara. She would not be put in this state of mind to

begin with. 1

Thomas looked at her frail expression and fell silent for a few seconds. Then, he murmured,” You don’t

need to apologize to me. I’m not upset because you’re concerned about him. I just don’t want you to

get yourself hurt by getting involved with him again.”

Sylvia looked at him with a ruminative look, then she blurted out, “He explained everything to

me.”

“Explain what?”

Just as she was about to confess, she suddenly took her hand and suggested. “There’s this place that

serves really good breakfast. Let’s talk while we eat.” He smiled gently at her. She felt a weight drop off

her chest and smiled pleasantly back at him. 1 After that, she got into the car with him. They arrived at

the restaurant she talked about shortly after. Thomas requested a private room upstairs. The two of

them sat face to face and Sylvia explained everything to him, including the rhetoric behind why Odell

had chosen Tara instead of her. 1 After listening to her explanation, he commented, “His explanation

sounds reasonable enough.” She stayed silent. She doubted that Odell would lie to her as well.

Besides, he was not the type to lie. Thomas poured her a drink and said, “But I think he has this

strange obsession with that Tara girl. It does seem like he cares a lot about her as well.” Sylvia sighed.

“It’s all because of the ring.” Thomas’ hand that was holding a glass suddenly stiffened. He paused for

a moment before reverting to his natural state and asked with an inquiring look, “What ring?”

“There was this rainy night many years ago where I rescued him in an alley in the old district. Back

then, we barely saw each other’s faces and didn’t know each other’s names but before he left, he gave

me a sapphire ring. I was very close with Tara back then and she fell in love with the ring the moment

she saw it, so I gave it to her. That’s how Odell came to mistake her as the one who saved him that

night instead of me.”
