CHAPTER 1066
“Doctor, I am a family member of the patient in ward number 809. Can you tell me how she is doing now?” After her mother had fallen asleep. Silvia went to look for her mother’s attending doctor.
“You’re Miss Turner, aren’t you?” The old doctor, who was about 60 years old, adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge and looked up at Silvia. He pointed to the opposite seat and said, “Have a seat. I’ll explain to you in detail.”
“Doctor…” Looking at the doctor’s serious expression, Silvia was a little flustered. “Doctor, how bad is my mother’s condition?”
The doctor handed Mrs. Turner’s medical records to Silvia. “Miss Turner, as her daughter, don’t you know anything about your mother’s health?”
“ I….” The doctor’s words made Silvia realize that her mother’s condition should be much worse than she had expected, but she had no clue how bad it was.
She was so anxious that she grabbed the doctor’s hand and said, “Doctor, no matter what, please help my mother.”
The doctor patted her hand and said, “Miss Turner, your mother is suffering from a chronic illness. It could be a mild case, or it could also be critical. Most importantly, she needs extra care from her family. As her daughter, your role is paramount to her well-being. If your mother is to ever recover fully from this, it would really depend on your efforts.”
After her father’s accident, her mother had fallen ill. Silvia knew that the reason for her mother’s illness was because of her father’s sudden death. She had not recovered after such a long time because Silvia did not take good care of her.
The doctor explained again, “But, you don’t have to worry too much, Miss Turner. There is a group of voluntary psychologists in our hospital. They will help the patients who need help for free. With their help and your care, I believe that Mrs. Turner will be cured soon.”
After listening to the doctor’s advice, Silvia was moved and thanked him repeatedly, “Doctor, thank you! Thank the volunteers too.”
What volunteer is she thankful for?
How could the most famous psychologist in Madison City have the time to be a volunteer? His consultation charges must be pricey, and ordinary people would not be able to afford it at all.
Of course, the doctor knew who the psychologist was, but he didn’t say it. He didn’t dare to say it because he was told to keep his mouth shut about the information. Therefore, the doctor had to continue with his act. “Your mother lives in the luxury ward. Every ward has special caretakers assigned. Miss Turner, you can go on with your day and do whatever you want to do. Just remember to come to the hospital to accompany the patient when you’re free.”
“Thank you, doctor!” It was comfortable to live in the luxury ward, but she was financially tight now. “Doctor, how about the hospital expenses?”
The doctor explained, “Miss Turner, you don’t have to worry about this. Someone has already paid the hospitalization expenses on your mother’s behalf.”
Silvia asked, “Doctor, who paid for the expenses?”
The doctor said, “The person who paid didn’t give his name. The administrative staff over at the payment counter has no idea too.”
The doctor didn’t know, but Silvia could guess that since Andrew had arranged for her mother to be in the hospital, he must have covered the medical expenses.
Silvia was a grateful person. As soon as she walked out of the doctor’s office, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Andrew, “Mr. Carter, thank you!”
She should really thank him.
If he hadn’t appeared in her life and helped her so much, she really didn’t know how to deal with this unfortunate series of events.
Ding-dong…
When Andrew was listening to Simon’s update on Norman, his mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang. He took a glance and saw “Silvia” displayed on the screen.
He picked it up and looked through the message, “Mr. Carter, thank you!”
“This woman still had some conscience,” he thought to himself. She was not the kind of woman who would repay kindness with ingratitude.
He put his mobile phone down and motioned Simon to continue. Simon said, “Young Master, the evidence of Norman plotting the murder was certain. Plus, he is charged with illegal usage of guns. This time, he will definitely be thrown into prison.”
Andrew nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good. Follow up with the case personally, I don’t want any accident to happen.”
Simon reassured him, “Yes.”
Andrew waved his hand, indicating Simon to leave. However, Simon stood still and said worriedly, “Young Master, it’s getting late. It’s time to rest.”
Andrew said, “I’ll rest after reading the documents.”
Simon persuaded carefully, “Young Master, you should take good care of your body. You are still young, so you should start taking care of yourself. There’s more to life than work.”
Besides, his Master had old injuries that would hurt from time to time, which meant that his health condition was more vulnerable.
“Don’t worry.” Andrew raised his eyebrows impatiently. This time, before Andrew spoke, Simon did not dare to say anything more and left the room quietly.
However, what Andrew was looking at wasn’t the work documents. Instead, he was looking at a couple of wedding photos.
In the photo, the young, beautiful lady and the handsome man looked at each other with deep affection in their eyes.
She looked more beautiful than before. There was more maturity and gentleness in her eyes. She looked as happy as a child on Christmas morning,
The same was true for the man standing with her. He was calm and reserved, yet his eyes looked like they were full of infatuation and contentment.
After learning that she was about to get married, Andrew tried to resist the news, but he still couldn’t control himself and secretly found her wedding photos.
Three years had passed. However, he still found himself daydreaming. He wondered how good it would be if the man standing in front of her was him.
Bang…
Suddenly, Andrew swept his hand across his work table angrily and the glass cup fell off the table, smashing into pieces.
“D*mn it!”
He had been thinking about her for so many years. In the end, she had become someone else’s wife and showed no mercy to his affection.
She never cared about his feelings.
Simon, who was guarding outside the door, wanted to go in and have a look when he heard the sound of glass shattering. However, just as he was about to knock on the door, he took a step back.
He didn’t dare to walk into the room, especially at a time like this. He understood why his Master was angry.
Simon couldn’t understand why his Master had done so many things for a woman who had never taken him seriously. He even almost lost his life for her. Was it really worth it?
Anyway, personally, he felt that it was not worth it. Not worth it at all. However, Simon knew that his Master did not share the same sentiments as him. He was willing to do anything to make Miss Janell Joy happy.
Simon placed his ear against the door gently. If his master did something rash again, he could stop him in time. However, after a long time, he didn’t hear anything else.
Simon was still worried about him and did not dare to leave, who stayed outside the door until midnight. He only went back to his room to rest when he was almost falling asleep.
He knew that this night was definitely a long, sleepless night for his Master.
CHAPTER 1067
It was early in the morning.
There were many trees planted in the area, so the air around the villa seemed to be much fresher.
After getting off the taxi, Silvia strolled along the green avenue and enjoyed the fresh air. Soon, she walked to her destination.
Standing at the gate of the villa, just when Silvia was hesitating to ring the doorbell, the guard opened the door “Miss Turner, please come in.
“Thank you.” After Silvia entered, she didn’t see anyone at all. She didn’t know if Andrew was already up. Was it appropriate for her to come at this time?
Alas, she wanted to fulfil her promise. She promised him that she would come here early in the morning. Hence, she packed up and came over early.
Silvia didn’t think too much. She went straight to the main lounge. As she walked, a person came in front of her. It was the person Silvia didn’t like very much, Simon Banks. Seeing her, Simon was also a little surprised. “Miss Turner, why are you here so early?”
No matter how much she disliked Simon, Silvia still greeted him politely. “Good morning, Mr. Banks!”
Simon did not know what happened between Silvia and Andrew yesterday. He asked again, “Miss Turner, why are you here so early?”
“Did you think I want to be here?”
Silvia really wanted to reply this to him, but she restrained herself.
She said, “Mr. Banks, since you don’t want to see me, I will go back.” If Andrew asked her about it, he could not blame her for not keeping her promise.
Simon stopped her immediately. “Miss Turner, since you’re here, please do me a favor.”
Silvia looked at him warily. “What favor?”
Simon said, “My Young Master is in the study. Could you please take a look at him?”
Silvia thought that Andrew had gotten up early in the morning and was busy with his work. She sighed, “Your Young Master has a rich and powerful father, why does he still work so hard? He’s making poor people like us look bad.”
Hearing Silvia’s words, Simon’s face turned pale. He asked firmly, “Miss Turner, where did you hear that?”
Silvia rolled her eyes at him, “Why do you sound so angry? The Old Master of your family is rich and powerful. Everyone in Madison City knows that. It’s not a secret. What’s wrong with that?”
“Everyone in Madison City knows about it?” Simon thought for a moment.
The old gentleman Silvia mentioned sounded like a misunderstanding from poor rumours, and she was not referring to the person in charge of Shengtian. Simon realized that he was defensive too quickly.
Simon followed Andrew when he started his business. They had never mentioned their relationship with the Carter family to the public. The Young Master even used a pseudonym for official matters. The public would not know their relationship with the Carter family of Shengtian.
Simon added, “Miss Turner, Young Master’s study is in the second room on the second floor. You can bring him the breakfast prepared by Auntie Cherry.”
Silvia replied reluctantly, “Okay.”
“Thump-Thump!”
After knocking on the door twice, no one answered the door.
Silvia knocked again, but there was still no response. These people were playing with her, weren’t they?
They asked her to bring the breakfast to Andrew, but he was not responding. Was she treated like a monkey? Silvia took a deep breath and told herself to just bear with all these. After all, she was staying under their roof, so she had no other choice.
“Thump-Thump!”
“Mr. Carter, can I come in?” She knocked on the door patiently again, but just like before, there was no response. She couldn’t bear it anymore. She turned the door handle around and broke in.
“Andrew Carter, you’re fooling around with me, aren’t you?"
As soon as the door was opened, Silvia coughed a few times because of the strong smell of cigarettes.
In the study, the windows were shut and the lights were turned off. It was so dark that she could not even see Andrew's face clearly despite him sitting at the desk.
Silvia hated the smell of cigarettes so much that she wanted to turn around and leave. However, she came here with a task, so she thought of just passing his breakfast over to him quickly.
She walked to his desk, placed the breakfast on the desk, and then she took the cigarette butt from his hand. “Andrew, why are you smoking so much so early in the morning?”
Andrew did not respond to her. He looked up at her as if he was looking at a person he had known for a long time. However, at the same time, he seemed to be looking at a stranger.
“Stop smoking. Let’s have breakfast.” Silvia put the cigarette.out in the ashtray and pointed to the food on the tray.
“Auntie Cherry has prepared a nutritious breakfast for you. It’s good for your health.”
Silvia was not a meddlesome person, but she just couldn’t stand seeing a person who didn’t care about his health so much. “This is your body. If you don’t take care of yourself, will others care about you?”
It’s saddening how many people wouldn’t take good care of their health when they were healthy, and when they got sick or weak, it would be too late then.
He still stared at her without blinking, as if he had fixed his eyes on her. Silvia was taken aback by his stare. “Why are you looking at me? No matter what you think of me, I meant what I said.”
“You…” Andrew opened his mouth but could not utter a complete sentence.
“What?” Silvia took a small step back and pointed to the breakfast on the table. “Have your breakfast. If you don’t eat it soon, it will turn cold.”
“You’re here!” After a long while, Andrew said these words in a hoarse voice.
“I am a good and honest person. I said I would come back.” Silvia looked at the table littered with cigarette butts and frowned. “Why do you smoke so much? Are you really done with being alive?”
“You’re finally here!” Andrew suddenly reached out and pulled Silvia to sit on his lap.
Silvia was so scared that she screamed, “Andrew, what are you doing? Let me go, or I won’t show you mercy.”
This man must be out of his mind. He once despised her for being dirty, but now he was hugging her so closely.
“Since you are here, how can I let you go?” Andrew held her tight and said in a deep voice, “Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?”
Silvia struggled, trying to break free. However, Andrew's hands were like iron pliers that held her tightly. She could not move at all. “Didn’t I send you a message last night? I told you that if you could give me a few hours, I will definitely come back.”
“I’ve been waiting for you for too long.” As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her.
The overbearing kiss caught her off guard. Silvia struggled desperately. However, she could not break free, and her actions made him go crazier and act more dominantly. He was like a mad beast that could swallow her at any time.
“Mmm.” Silvia’s tongue was almost numb from this crazy beast’s kiss, and she could only whimper as if she was crying. She fussed around and tried to kick him, but she couldn’t move at all. He continued to hold her tightly.
After a while, he finally let go of her. She could finally breathe, but something even more terrible happened. While she was completely caught off guard, Andrew placed her on his desk. He then ripped the thin t-shirt off her body.
CHAPTER 1068
“Andrew Carter, you’re a lunatic! Have you gone crazy? Do you know what you’re doing?”
Silvia tried to push him away with all her strength, but she was much weaker than him. She struggled for a long time but did not manage to push him away at all.
“You came here willingly.” Andrew reached out his fingers to pinch her lips and whispered in her ear, “This time, I will not let you go!”
He once let her go, deciding to fulfill her wishes. However, this time, she had returned willingly, so he could not be blamed for seizing the opportunity,
“D*mn it, what do you mean by I came here willingly? Do you think I’m willing to come to this damn place?” Silvia was in a panic and was at a loss. She was nearly naked in front of.him.
“Isn’t it so?” He smiled gently.
Yes, Silvia saw tenderness in his eyes. His smile also looked so genuine at this moment. It didn’t look as fake as usual. She had not seen him smiling so happily before.
Silvia panicked even more because she couldn’t understand him and could not figure out what was going through his mind. She stretched out her leg in panic, but before she could kick him, he caught her foot.
“Be good, don’t fool around!” He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and bit her lips. “Enjoy this. You’d like what I’m about to do.”
“Pervert! I’m not sick. How can I like anything a pervert like you will do!” For the first time, Silvia clearly knew that the disparity in strength between a man and a woman was so huge. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from his clutches.
“You don’t like me?” Andrew's face changed, and he looked at her gloomily. “Then tell me, who do you like? The man Cooper or Collins?”
“No matter Cooper or Collins, it’s none of your business. Does that matter?” Silvia couldn’t get rid of him. She opened her mouth and bit his shoulder mercilessly, trying to scare him away.
However, he didn’t seem to feel anything. Even though he was bleeding from her bite, he did not push her away.
In the end, Silvia was tired of biting. Just as she was about to look at him, she heard him speak confidently, “You hurt me. Then, don’t blame me for hurting you.”
“Ah!”
At this moment, there was only one word in Silvia’s mind – pain.
Silvia had never known that there would be such a pain, which hurt more than getting beaten up. The pain was worse than what she had ever suffered in the past. A searing pain, the feeling of tearing and rubbing…
It was something she had never experienced before. At this moment, it was as if she was experiencing a disaster in her life.
“D*mn it!” Silvia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to bear the tremendous pain that she had never experienced before.
In front of her, Andrew was like a beast, biting and devouring her again and again. In the end, she lost all consciousness…
“Ouch..”
After turning her body over gently, Silvia screamed in pain. She seemed to be dreaming of a terrible and cruel nightmare.
In the dream, the man named Andrew Carter bullied her, and even…
No, this was not a dream.
If it were a dream, the pain in her body would not be so real.
Silvia opened her eyes and saw that it was dark around her. She could not even see her fingers, so she could not see anything else clearly.
She had no idea where she was and what time it was. The only thing she knew was that her body felt like it was falling apart, and it was painful for her to move.
Perhaps it was not just because of the physical pain, but she was also tortured psychologically. Her mental state was on the verge of collapse.
Silvia had never thought that her virginity would be taken away like this. The pain buried itself deep into her bones! It hurt so much and was traumatizing that she would never forget it!
“You’re awake!” Suddenly, a deep male voice came from the darkness.
“You…” Silvia was too familiar with this voice. It was him. It.was he who tormented her. She had lost her precious virginity which she had treasured for nearly twenty years.
All of a sudden, Silvia was dumbstruck. She laughed at herself for being so stupid, and also how pathetic her fate was.
She knew that there was no free lunch in the world..She didn’t expect that after experiencing the betrayal of the Turner family, she would be so foolish to believe that a strange man would help her sincerely.
Because he had dealt with Norman to save her and also helped her save her mother, she lowered her guard and believed that he was a good person. However, she had never thought that maybe all this was just a play that he and Norman had schemed together to make a fool out of her.
Andrew was right. Silvia came to him willingly and ended up being humiliated by him. It was not his fault. She could only blame herself for being ignorant and stupid.
Silvia suppressed her nausea and put on a bright smile. “Mr. Carter, are you satisfied with my body?”
Silvia did not hear his answer, but she heard his footsteps toward her. He came to her side and grabbed her chin despite the darkness. “Tell me, what did you do to me?”
“What did I do to you?” It was clear that he had ruined her innocence, and yet he tried to push the blame unto her.
Silvia felt that Andrew was actually worse than Norman, that vile and heartless man.
“Speak!” He added more strength and pinched her lower jaw. The pain made Silvia’s mouth twitch, but she didn’t cry out or whined.
“Mr. Carter, what do you want to hear from me?” Anyway, he was her benefactor. She could tell him whatever he wanted to hear.
“Tell me, what did you do to me?” Andrew was getting annoyed and thought that this woman was really sick. In the past, Andrew knew that she was full of lies. But now, she had done something so despicable to him.
“Haha.. What did I do to you?” Silvia chuckled out loud. “It’s exactly what you remember. I slept with you.”
If he didn’t want to admit it, she could just take the fall. After all, she was like an ant in his hands. He could crush her easily if he wanted to.
“You! Damn it!”
“Mr. Carter, don’t pretend to be so wronged. Not long ago, you were bl*ody aggressive. Don’t forget, you were enjoying it just now, moaning in satisfaction!”
“Get lost!”
“Mr. Carter, where do you want me to go?”
“Get lost! I don’t want to see you again!”
“Mr. Carter, after all, we did, you really want me to get lost?”
She hoped to get away from him and to never see this man who made her feel so disgusted. However, without his permission, she could not get away, so she needed his final answer.
CHAPTER 1069
As she gradually adapted to the darkness of the room, Silvia saw the face in front of her faintly. This face appeared cold and heartless, like a bloodthirsty lion.
She looked at him and smiled gently, “Mr. Carter, does this mean that the contract is void?”
Silvia wanted to leave, but she needed to be sure that she was not breaking any terms of the contract. She didn’t want to be involved with this man anymore. She hoped that he would give her a clear answer quickly.
She hoped that he would denounce the contract and told her to get away as far as possible so that she would not have to see him again.
“Contract?” He was looking at her aggressively and furiously. He spoke loudly and clearly, “Do you think that by sleeping with me once, you can get out of the contract?” How ridiculous!
These words pierced through Silvia’s heart like nails. It hurt very much, but she still had a smile on her face. “I thought if I slept with you once, you would void the contract. I guess that wasn’t true.”
Andrew clenched his fist, gnashed his teeth and said, “I bought you. You’re mine, and you’re mine even after you die. Don’t think that I’ll let you go that easily.”
Silvia reached out and grabbed his hand. “Mr. Carter, if once was not enough, I can sleep with you a few more times until you are satisfied. What do you say?”
Andrew shook her hand off as if she was a parasite. He stepped back and said, “Do you think I’ll touch a filthy woman like you?”
After that, he slammed the door and left, but his voice lingered in the room for a long time.
A filthy woman?
This phrase kept echoing in her ears like a broken record on repeat constantly reminding and mocking her of her pitiable state of life.
Andrew was right. At this moment, she was indeed filthy. From the moment she touched him, she had become filthy from the inside out. But he was the one who did the act earlier and made her “filthy”. What right did he have to feel disgusted by her?
“Thump-Thump!”
It was the maid, Auntie Cherry who knocked outside the door. Then, she heard her ask, “Miss Turner, may I come in?”
Before Silvia answered, Auntie Cherry had opened the door and entered the room. Silvia was so scared that she pulled up the quilt and covered her naked body immediately. She looked at Auntie Cherry warily and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Auntie Cherry turned on the light in the room and came to Silvia’s side. She handed two white pills to Silvia and said, “Miss Turner, the Master asked me to bring you these.”
Silvia asked cautiously, “What pills are these?”
Auntie Cherry scratched her head and stammered, “Miss Turner, this is… for colds. The pills can prevent colds.”
As she saw how Auntie Cherry was having cold sweats on her hand and forehead, and listening to her stuttering explanation, Silvia easily understood what the pills were for.
If she guessed correctly, they should be after-morning pills.
Silvia took the pills over and looked at them. “Auntie Cherry, your Master is very thoughtful. Please thank him for me.”
Andrew did not want her to get pregnant with his child. Did he think that she was willing to give birth to his child? How preposterous!
She could have told him that she didn’t want to have anything to do with him as long as she was alive.
As she was lying, Auntie Cherry felt guilty. “Miss Turner, I will tell the Master what you said. Now, take this medicine.”
“Auntie Cherry, put the pills here. You can go on with your tasks. I’ll eat them later.”
Silvia had been apprehensive about taking medicine since she was young. When she was sick, her mother would prepare juices for her in advance. This helped a lot in improving the taste.
Everyone around Silvia would try their best to help her when she was sick so that she wouldn’t need to suffer so much.
Silvia didn’t even have a glass of water around her, and she really couldn’t swallow the pills.
Auntie Cherry was embarrassed. “Miss Turner, the Master said that you must eat the pills in front of me. Or else..”
Silvia asked, “Or else..what?”
“Otherwise, he would fault me,” Auntie Cherry blurted out honestly, but she thought that it was not nice to say so. She explained hurriedly, “Miss Turner, I mean, if I didn’t see you taking the pills and you caught a cold accidentally, the Master would blame me for not taking good care of you.”
Silvia didn’t want to embarrass Auntie Cherry, but she really couldn’t swallow the pills on their own. She said, “Auntie Cherry, can you get me a glass of water?”
Auntie Cherry was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately. “Of course. Please wait for a moment, Miss Turner. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
It was Auntie Cherry’s negligence that she had forgotten to bring some water for Silvia to take the pills. She had been too focused on bringing the pills over. Thankfully, the young lady was quite naive and did not question her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain herself to Butler Banks.
Silvia smiled and said, “Please and thank you.”
Seeing Auntie Cherry’s expression of relief, Silvia’s heart was full of mixed feelings. Her life had turned upside down in the span of a day.
Not long ago, her uncle, Norman, wanted to rape her. He crawled into her room in the middle of the night. She managed to escape that day, but she did not escape the man earlier this day.
That damned Andrew Carter! Silvia regarded him as her savior, but he abused her.
It had been a whole day now, but the pain and weakness in her body still reminded her of what he had done.
Auntie Cherry came back soon with a glass of water in her hand. She said urgently, “Miss Turner, you can take the medicine now.”
“Of course.” Silvia first drank a big mouthful of water, then, she placed the two pills into her mouth. She swallowed the pills quickly with a big mouthful of water.
After swallowing the medications, she opened her mouth for Auntie Cherry to have a look. “Auntie Cherry, I have taken the pills. You can report it to your Master.”
After confirming that Silvia had taken the medicine, Auntie Cherry smiled awkwardly and said, “Miss Turner, it’s getting late, I won’t disturb you anymore. Have some rest.”
Silvia just smiled and nodded at her as she watched Auntie Cherry leave.
As soon as the door closed, the fake smile on Silvia’s face disappeared instantly. She said with hatred in her eyes, “Andrew Carter, remember this. I will make you pay for what you’ve done, one day!”
Silvia got up and locked the door. She dragged her painful body to the bathroom. She stood under the running water, and washed her body repeatedly with plenty of soap.
She felt dirty. No matter how hard she tried to wash her body, she knew she could not be pure anymore. She could not wash away the stains that the beast had left on her body.
“I’m sorry! Brother Felix, I’m sorry!” She kept apologizing while washing her body thoroughly, “Brother Felix, I’m sorry! So sorry…” She apologized repeatedly. Suddenly, she broke down and tears rolled down her cheeks.
CHAPTER 1070
At the same time.
In Andrew's study.
Andrew was rubbing his temples trying to sober himself up, but it did not work. He still felt groggy, as if his brain had stopped working.
Simon rushed over and asked, “Young Master, you asked for me?”
Andrew shot a sharp look at him. “What happened?”
Andrew did not ask clearly, but Simon knew what he was talking about. He said hurriedly, “Young Master, it’s my negligence.”
How could a clear-minded person mistake someone for the other person? However, this was what happened to Andrew. Andrew didn’t know the reason, but Simon knew why. However, Simon didn’t dare to admit it. Andrew narrowed his eyes and did not answer him.
Simon looked at Andrew's gloomy face and continued to say, “I had asked Miss Turner to send your breakfast up, but I didn’t expect that she would dare to drug you secretly. It’s all my fault. I was careless and she took advantage.”
Simon kept his head down and didn’t dare to look up at his Master. He would not be able to hide the secret if their eyes met. He knew that it was not right for him to do this, but he didn’t want to see his Master suffer again, so he took advantage of the clueless Silvia.
Simon thought that as long as Andrew had a sexual relationship with another woman, Andrew would not think of Miss Janell Joy so much.
“Did she drug me?” Andrew approached Simon carefully. He gritted his teeth and asked firmly, “I didn’t touch the food she brought to me. How did she drug me?”
At first, Andrew also thought that Silvia was the one who drugged him. However, after he calmed down, he felt that it was unlikely that she was the one who did it.
Silvia was a woman who was full of lies. She was wild and chased after wealth. She had many bad habits, but Andrew believed that she would never sell her body.
On the contrary, there was a man in Silvia’s heart. She had protected herself well all this while and saved her virginity for him. She was waiting for that person’s return. However, Andrew had destroyed all of it.
“Young Master, I’m not sure about this. I also heard that Dr. Thames found the drug in Miss Turner’s bag.” Simon knew that he could not admit to it no matter the cost. If he admitted to it, Simon could not bear the consequences.
Andrew raised his eyebrows and sneered, “You’re not sure?”
Simon said stubbornly. “Young Master, why don’t get someone to ask Miss Turner?”
“Is she someone you have the right to question?” Andrew looked extremely skeptical, “Simon, just because you have been with me for a long time, don’t get too comfortable and do things at your own will.”
Simon was so frightened that his legs felt weak. “Young Master, I would not dare do anything foolish. Besides, no matter what I do, I’m doing it for your own good.”
Andrew sneered and continued, “I don’t need someone who will do evil things behind my back by saying it’s for my own good. You can go now. I don’t need you here.”
If a subordinate dared to mess around behind his Master’s back once, it would likely to happen again. Andrew could not work with such a person again.
Simon became very anxious, “Young Master, how could this be? I’ve been taking care of you throughout all these years. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be able to rest assured.”
Andrew glanced at him and said, “This is the price you have to pay for your mistakes.”
Simon pleaded, “Young Master…”
Before doing this, Simon had already expected this to be the lightest punishment he could receive.
He knew that his Master’s decision would be difficult to change, so it was pointless for Simon to fight for his stand. However, he still played the “loyalty card” at the last moment. Simon added, “Young Master, do you need me to take Miss Turner away before I leave? If you don’t want to see her anymore, I promise that I can make that happen.”
Andrew responded indifferently, “Simon, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Simon answered, “Young Master, don’t you despise Miss Turner?” Simon suddenly felt a little scared, as if his disguise had been seen through by his Master. He could not hide his actions from his Master’s eyes.
Andrew glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
Simon understood this look in his eyes. He knew that even if Andrew thought that Silvia had used despicable means on him, Andrew still did not intend to let her go. Simon suddenly realized that he had done so many things at the risk of losing his head at any time. In the end, it was pointless.
Not only did Simon fail to heal his Master’s broken heart, but he also created a huge mess for himself.
…………
At the cemetery
In a quiet corner, there was a very special tombstone.
The reason why it looked special was that this tombstone was painted with different colors. It looked particularly bright and vibrant, unlike the usual dull graves.
There was a line of words engraved on the tombstone, marking the grave of Felix Xavier.
Silvia stood in front of the tombstone, and the scorching sun shone on her body. The sweat on her body had drenched her clothes, but she stood there for nearly an hour as if she didn’t feel the heat at all.
After a long time, she reached out her hand gently to touch the engraving on the tombstone. She touched the name that she was so familiar with, “Brother Felix…”
Silvia’s nose twitched as she called out his name. Tears welled up in her eyes again. “Brother Felix, where have you been? Brother Felix, I know that you are still here. You must still be alive, but you must be hiding somewhere that I can’t go.”
“Brother Felix, you said that when I get into trouble, you will definitely show up to help me. But when I was bullied, where were you? I shouted out loudly but you didn’t come to me. Brother Felix, have you forgotten me completely?”
Silvia still remembered a vivid memory where Felix took her hand and said to her, “Silvia, don’t be afraid. Although your father is gone, you still have me. Let me love you and protect you in the future.” At that time, when she heard his words, Silvia looked as happy as a fool. She held Felix’s hand, laughing and jumping,
“Brother Felix, I have been waiting for you to say this. I have been waiting for so long for you to confess your love to me. I thought the day would never come, but it did.”
She stood on her tiptoe and leaned forward to kiss him on the face. “Brother Felix, I like you. I have always wanted to marry you since I was a child.”
They grew up together, went to school together, and went through the best years of their lives together. However, not long ago, when Silvia was going through the worst time in her life, Felix disappeared.
He disappeared completely out of the blue, and there was no news about this. She searched for him for a long time, but she could not find any clues about him.
It was as if he had never existed before.
She even doubted whether her memories with him were real or not, and wondered if everything was just a hallucination.
