Chapter 688
Sylvia came out from behind the curtains and went to his side.
She grabbed his hand again and said seriously, “Thomas, please leave with me now. Believe me, I can
get you out of here.” Calmly, he stared into her eyes and asked, “Then after that, what next?” “I’ll take
you away from Westchester. As long as you leave the city, Odell won’t be able to lay his hands on you
anymore.” “What about you? Will you be leaving with me?”
Sylvia was stunned. She began to avoid his scorching gaze and said in a small voice, “I can’t leave. I
have to be here to take care of Isabel and Liam.”
“Then leaving does not mean anything to me,” Thomas said with a chuckle. “I’d rather be locked up
here by Odell. At least I’d still be able to see you.”

“As long as I can see you, I don’t mind being crippled,” he said to her with a gentle smile. Sylvia felt a
sinking feeling in her heart. Him trying to console her only made her feel worse. “Thomas, it’s not worth
it. I’m not worth going through all of this. It’s more important for you to take care of yourself.” “To me,
being with you is the most important thing.”
For a moment, Sylvia choked up. It was true that he had promised to be with him but she could not just
leave her kids because of him either.
As she pondered the quandary she was in, he continued, “Sylvia, why don’t you bring Aunt Tonya,
Isabel and Liam along and we could all leave this place together?”
“Huh?” Sylvia was shocked by his suggestion.
He looked at her and whispered, “If you really want me out of here, and if I could get out, would you be
willing to bring them along and leave with me?” Sylvia pursed her lips, her mind in a whirl. The terms in
the divorce papers had clearly stated that she was not allowed to take the kids away from Westchester
without his permission. “Like you said, Odell is unpredictable. If you continue to stay here, I’m afraid
that he might eventually hurt you. I have some assets abroad, and the environment there is just as
good as Westchester. It’ll be a good place for the kids to grow up too.”
Sylvia was still feeling torn. She had really never considered the option of leaving Westchester with her
kids.
“Thomas, 1…”
Thomas siniled, “It’s okay. Just think about it first. When you’ve finally made up your mind, it
still won’t be too late to take me out of here.” Sylvia frowned. She had snuck into the villa in the middle
of the night to save him and she could not guarantee that it would go smoothly again next time. After
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconsidering it for a while, she sighed and said, “Fine.” Odell was indeed an unpredictable person. At
times, he could even be said to be crazy. If he was capable of torturing his own brother in this way,
there was a high chance that he might do worse to her in the future. Thomas was right to be concerned
for her.
The two kids needed a healthy environment to grow up as well, not an environment where their parents
would engage in constant conflicts. Sylvia said, “Thomas, I promise you that when I manage to get you
out of here, I’ll bring Isabel, Liam and Aunt Tonya along and we will leave Westchester together.”
Thomas grinned. “Great.” This time, he stood up by himself without Sylvia’s help. Sylvia then pulled him
along by his hand to walk to the door. Her movements were unhurried. Instead, she opened the door
very slightly to check the situation outside. After the coast was clear, she quietly led Thomas out of the
door.
They moved along the wall and headed towards the stairs.
She glanced at the bodyguards who were standing at the entrance before she held her breath and
walked down together with Thomas.
Finally, they arrived at the window that she had used to climb into the house earlier.
