CHAPTER 1421
"I..." In fact, Silvia did tell Andrew that Felix was still alive. She told Andrew because she knew that the person who hurt Felix was not Andrew. Moreover, Andrew had also promised Silvia that he would not hurt Felix ever again, so Silvia retorted, “Alina, don't speak when you don't have any evidence to prove it."
"Evidence? You're actually asking me for evidence?" Alina laughed but began to bawl. She was angry seeing Felix being this silly! He was foolish to the point that he was willing to give up his life for a woman. "He's already lying in there fighting for his life, do you not feel ashamed asking me for evidence?"
"Alina, I don‘t want to dwell on this matter with you anymore." Silvia turned to look at Prince. "Prince, can you please ask the doctor if I could see Felix now? I want to talk to him."
Prince said helplessly, "Alina is Felix's only guardian. The doctor will only let you see him under her consent."
Silvia once again looked at Alina. Alina gave her a cold glance and said, "You've already seen him so you can go now. Go away as far as you can and don't show up in front of him ever again. Your presence will only bring endless misfortune to him. As long as you are here, he will never be able to move on."
Silvia said sincerely, "Alina, Felix wants to see me. I might be able to wake him up.“
Alina was not swayed. She said, "Even if you can wake him up, your Young Master Carter will definitely ask his men to harm him again. Powerful people like him like to play such games, but please, I'm begging you, please don't hurt him anymore. He's already riddled with scars, he can't stand any more tortures. If this goes on, he's going to die. He will really die."
Prince persuaded, "Alina, the doctor said that Felix wants to see Boss. You should let Silvia see him. Perhaps, she can really wake him up."
To tell the truth, Alina did not want Silvia to see Felix at all. However, she did not dare to go against Felix's wishes, so she had to give in. “I'll let you see him, but with one condition."
"What condition?" As long as she could see Felix and make his situation better, Silvia was willing to do just anything.
Alina reached out her hand and said, "Give me your phone."
Silvia was puzzled. "Why do you need my phone?"
Alina said, "To prevent you from informing your Young Master Carter. I don't know what you'll do once you're in the ward, I‘m not taking any risks."
Silvia gritted her teeth and said, "Alina, Andrew will never hurt Felix. I can assure you that he's not the one who did this to Felix. Let me see Felix first, then we can look for the culprit afterwards."
Alina said, "No more bullshit here, just give me your phone."
Silvia took out her mobile phone and handed it to Alina. "I can see him already?"
Alina turned off Silvia's mobile phone, and a cold beam flashed across her eyes. "Wait here, I'll go look for the doctor now."
......
Silvia finally saw Felix. The last time she met Felix, he was already looking extremely haggard, which made Silvia's heart ache. This time, Felix's body was completely covered in gauze, revealing only his pale face. Such a scene really broke Silvia's heart.
She wanted to grab Felix's hand, but his hands were bound in gauze, so she could only hold his hand over the gauze. She said to him, "Felix, I'm Silvia. I heard that you've been calling my name in your sleep so I'm here to see you. Can you please wake up and take a look at me? Can you please talk to me?"
However, no matter what she said, Felix was not responding to her. Silvia was so distressed that she began to burst into tears. "Felix, I've already found out who the murderer is. Wake up, then we can bring the murderer to justice, okay?“
"You used to say that no matter what happens, we should still continue with our lives. Only then we will have hope. You were the one who said these to me. Have you forgotten what you've told me?"
"No, I know that you'll never forget what you've said, especially the words that you've said to me. I believe that you will definitely pull through this time and you'll be back on your feet in no time. You are not just anyone, you're Felix, who's as warm as the sun."
Perhaps, Silvia‘s words had touched Felix. There was a slight twitch in his fingers. Although it was subtle, Silvia still noticed it.
She was surprised. She said in excitement, "Felix, you heard me, didn't you?"
Felix parted his lips and said feebly, "Sil, Silvia..."
Although Felix's voice was almost inaudible, Silvia could still tell that Felix was calling her name. No matter what she did, she would still be his priority.
Seeing that Felix was still so loyal towards her but she had already fallen for another man, Silvia was so tormented that she began to cry uncontrollably. "Felix, I'm Silvia, I'm here, I'm by your side now."
"Silvia, don't, don't go... Don‘t leave me... I can't live without you." Each and every word that came through Felix's lips felt like a nail piercing through Silvia's heart.
"Felix, I..." Silvia knew that Felix definitely cared about her betrayal towards him. She knew that he had been pretending to be indifferent from the day he had found out about it. Silvia knew that he must have been heartbroken. However, for her sake, he had chosen not to say a thing about it.
"Silvia... it's so dark here, I'm scared. Please don't leave me. Stay with me for a little while longer, please, just for a little while..." Felix added. His words sounded like they were his tears, flowing out from the corner of his eyes.
"I won‘t go, Felix. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here by your side so don't be afraid, okay?" Silvia wanted to grab his hand a little tighter, but she was worried that she would hurt him.
Fortunately, Felix was not as emotional after receiving Silvia's reassurance. However, he was still unable to open his eyes to look at her.
Perhaps, he was afraid that he would no longer see the Silvia that he used to know.
......
At Madison International Airport.
Stanley had been waiting at one of the exits for nearly an hour. He had been waiting for so long that he was starting to feel anxious. When he finally saw his boss coming out of the airport in hasty steps, he hurriedly went over to greet him, "Master Andrew."
Andrew did not even spare him a glance, much less respond to him. He walked straight towards the parking lot outside of the airport. However, the cold air hit him the moment he stepped out of the airport. It was so cold that Andrew felt his blood flow was congested, so he immediately pulled his coat tightly around his body.
Stanley knew that Andrew was in poor health. He knew that his body would not be able to withstand such cold weather after staying in Jiangbei, which was much warmer than Madison City. "Master Andrew, the car is just a few steps away."
However, Andrew was still ignoring Stanley. He strode forward and got in the car. Luckily, Stanley was thoughtful enough to let the heater run even after he had gotten out of the car, so Andrew did feel a little better after getting into the car.
Stanley hurriedly got in the driver‘s seat and asked, "Master Andrew, where are we heading to?"
CHAPTER 1422
The moment Andrew heard Stanley asking such a stupid question, Andrew really wanted to kick him in the a‘s. He had come all the way from Jiangbei, what else could he be here for? Did he look like he was here for a vacation?
However, Stanley could not read minds. He thought that Andrew did not hear his question, so he repeated, "Master Andrew, are you heading home or the company?"
Bulging blue veins began to appear on Andrew's forehead. He said in a cold voice, "Go to the hospital now."
Stanley suddenly realized what his boss meant, so he replied, "Master Andrew, are you not feeling well? Do you want me to contact Dr. York?"
Andrew shouted, "Get lost now!"
"Huh?" Stanley said in confusion.
Stanley could not figure out why his boss was raging this time. He wondered if he had done something wrong again. Stanley thought of every possibility, such as parking the car at the nearest exit, or keeping the heater on in the car.
However, he believed that he had done nothing wrong. Andrew roared again, “Get lost!“
"Sir, I..." Stanley wanted to say something, but when he looked back, he was met with Andrew's ferocious eyes. He was so scared that he immediately got out of the car.
He stood there and watched as Andrew got out of the car, and got in the driver's seat. Andrew drove away, leaving him alone, standing in the parking lot and braving the cold wind.
Andrew did not ask him to get a taxi back, so Stanley did not know if he was allowed to do so. He pitifully looked in the direction where Andrew had driven off while receiving sympathizing looks from the passersby.
Stanley stared back fiercely and asked, “What are you guys looking at? Have you not seen someone getting chased out of the car?"
Stanley was born with a wicked face, now that he had a fierce look on his face, the passersby were so scared that they immediately got as far as they could from him.
Looking at the fleeing passersby, Stanley grew a little complacent. Since he could not go against Andrew, he thought that he could at least bully these timid pedestrians.
Andrew rushed to the hospital where Felix was at the fastest speed. After getting out of the car, he called Silvia on the phone, but Silvia's phone was turned off.
What was this woman doing?
Did she not know that he would be worried about her?
Without delaying a single second, Andrew took out his phone and dialed Stanley's phone number while rushing into the hospital. “Which room is Felix in?"
The moment Stanley received Andrew's call, he was so terrified that his body was shaking. He thought that Andrew was calling him to tell him to take the taxi home. However, before Andrew had spoken, Stanley asked, "Sir, can I go home now?"
Andrew could not believe that this fool was still at the airport. He almost flew into a rage as he said, "Tell me which ward Felix is in now, and you can continue to stay in the cold wind if you want to."
"Felix is in the ICU, room 303." Stanley was such a slow-witted person. He had finally realized which hospital Andrew was referring to. After finding out where exactly Felix was, Andrew hung up the phone without a qualm.
"Alas..." The weather was so cold. It was almost -10 degree Celsius. Stanley thought that if he were to stand in the cold wind for another minute, he would probably freeze to death.
………….
Andrew went up to one of the nurses and asked, "Could you please tell me where is the ICU?"
The nurse pointed to the right as she said. "You'll have to go over to the next building and go up to the third floor.“
Following the nurse's directions, Andrew successfully found the building where the ICU was located. He took the elevator to the third floor and arrived at room 303.
When he arrived, there was no one outside the ward. He could only see Silvia through the glass window.
Silvia stood beside Felix‘s bed, holding his hand tightly in her palms, and her lips were constantly moving.
Andrew could not hear what Silvia was saying to Felix, but at this moment, he could tell that Silvia's heart was completely on Felix, the man whom she had once loved deeply.
Andrew was so jealous that his eyes had turned red.
He believed that Silvia no longer had any feelings for Felix, but seeing that she was so concerned about Felix, Andrew's possessive desires once again rekindled.
He did not want Silvia to get so close to any man other than him, especially the man who grew up with her. He was the man who Silvia once loved and relied on.
Andrew reached out his hand and was about to push the door open. However, as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, someone stopped him, "Young Master Carter, I wonder if you can spare two minutes for me?"
Andrew turned around and saw an ordinary face. He quickly searched through his memory to recall who this person was but to no avail.
This woman was a stranger to him.
Over the years, Andrew had been accosted by all kinds of strange women in various ways. Hence, he had automatically classified this woman as someone who was trying to hit on him.
Andrew's cold gaze swept across Alina's face and did not respond to her at all. Andrew's cold and hostile attitude made Alina hate him to the point that she gritted her teeth in anger.
At that moment, she recalled the time when Felix was this cold to her. He was so cold as if she was invisible to him, and all he could see was Silvia, that disgusting woman.
Alina thought that there would be no one more indifferent to her than Felix. She had never expected that Andrew would be even colder. He was not willing to even answer her with a snort.
Jealousy was something that not only could make people angry, it could also make someone ugly. That was how Alina was at this very moment. She said with a hideous face, "Young Master Carter, I know that you're a man with power, but you shouldn't talk to me with this kind of attitude. I am also a human and I deserve respect too."
To Andrew, Alina was just a buffoon who wanted to attract his attention, and yet she was trying to talk about respect. Andrew sneered. He did not even want to talk to her in the first place, so why should he bother about the way he spoke to her?
Andrew's indifference had completely angered Alina. Alina reprimanded, "Young Master Carter, I know that I've angered you and I know very well that it would cost you nothing to crush me, but for the sake of Felix‘s safety, I must speak my mind. You want Silvia, and she's already yours now. Felix had never thought of taking her away from you, so why do you have to hurt him?"
Andrew turned his head to look at her again. Alina's heart began to surge when she noticed that Andrew was looking at her. At that instant, she thought that he was finally willing to pay attention to her. However, Andrew answered her in a cold voice, "Get out of my face!"
Get out of his face! Andrew asked her to get out of his face!
Alina heard him loud and clear. The very first sentence that this man had said to her was to ask her to get out of his face!
Humiliation and grievances grew in Alina‘s heart at that instant, which almost drove her crazy.
CHAPTER 1423
However, Alina had never forgotten Felix's instructions. If she were to mess everything up now, all their efforts would be in vain.
She must not do that! Moreover, she did not have the courage to do that either!
Alina tried to calm herself down and said, "Young Master Carter, since you refused to talk to me, I can only hand over all the evidence I have at hand to the police."
"Stanley!" Andrew did not want to listen to any of this disgusting woman's nonsense. He wanted to ask Stanley to take her away, but as soon as he shouted Stanley's name, he realized that he came over to the hospital by himself. Stanley, that idiot, was still braving the cold wind outside of the airport.
It was such a rare occasion that Andrew actually needed Stanley, but he was not around. Andrew frowned and strode towards Felix‘s ward. He did not even bat an eye no matter how loud Alina shouted behind him.
"Andrew?" A familiar and melodious voice sounded out of a sudden, halting Andrew in his tracks. He looked back immediately and saw that it was Silvia.
She was standing at the door to the ward while dressed in protective equipment. Her eyes were red, and her left cheek looked a little swollen. He could understand why her eyes were red, but why was her face swollen?
Andrew walked up to Silvia and without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly in his embrace. His gaze was fixed on her slightly swollen left cheek as he asked, "What happened to your face?"
"Someone hit me, but it's all fine now." Silvia did not look surprised at all seeing Andrew at the hospital. It was as if she was expecting his arrival. With him around, Silvia's fear and troubles dissipated in an instant. He was like a calming pill to her.
“Who did it?" Andrew raised his head slightly and glimpsed at Alina. He saw that Alina was retreating differently, and at that instant, he realized who was the one who hit Silvia.
Andrew could not even bring himself to hurt Silvia, so how could he let anyone bully her? However, Andrew did not show his anger but caressed Silvia's head instead. He asked, "How‘s Felix?"
"Not good." Silvia bit her lips and rubbed her face against Andrew's arms like a child, trying to get rid of the pain and uneasiness in her heart.
"Felix did wake up for a bit a while ago and muttered a few words to me, but the doctor said that his condition did not improve at all."
"I've hired a few experienced medical experts to take a look at Felix." The reason why Andrew had hired the doctors was he did not believe that Felix would get injured so coincidentally. Other than that, if Felix was truly injured, he wanted Felix to recover as soon as possible, in hopes to lessen the guilt in Silvia's heart.
"I do want the doctors to treat Felix's injury, but I don't have the final say here." Silvia looked up at Alina. "She has the final say.“
In the past, when she was still dating Felix, Felix's parents were his guardian. She was never his guardian for even once, but Alina had now become the person in charge of Felix's matters, which made Silvia feel extremely awful.
Andrew's gaze followed the direction where Silvia‘s finger was pointed at and looked at Alina again. However, his eyes were no longer cold or fierce, but full of condescending contempt.
It turned out that this man could actually speak! It turned out that this man knew how to be gentle! However, the only person that he was willing to talk to was Silvia. And Silvia was the only person he was willing to show his gentleness to.
Silvia Turner, this woman...
Alina gnashed her teeth in hatred. She regretted not slapping Silvia harder in the face. If she had a knife in her hand at that time, she definitely would have slit Silvia's face with it so that she and Andrew would not be able to show off their affection for each other in front of her.
Just as Alina was staring at Silvia maliciously, Silvia and Andrew had turned their heads to look at her. Silvia's gaze was calm, and so was the gaze from the man beside her. However, looking into the man's eyes, Alina could tell that all this was just the calm before the storm.
Under Andrew's contemptuous gaze, Alina was so scared that she retreated. "As long as you stop hurting Felix, you can come at me as you please.”
Andrew remained silent and looked back at Silvia. She held her hand and took her along with him. "Silvia, come with me."
"Andrew, Felix hasn't woken up yet. I want to stay here. I promised Felix that I will not leave until he wakes up." Silvia wanted to break away from Andrew, but failed to do so. When Andrew had decided on something, there was no one who could change his mind.
Andrew dragged her along with him and asked, "Do you want to get disfigured?"
Silvia was confused. "What do you mean? What does this have to do with Felix?“
Andrew stopped and looked at her slightly swollen cheek worriedly. "Your face is already swollen, and yet you're not worried of getting disfigured at all. Just listen to me, I'll find a doctor to apply some ointment for you."
It turned out that he was not going to take her away. He was just worried about the injury on her face. What Andrew had done for her nowadays had really warmed her heart. Knowing that he was concerned about her, Silvia felt that her face no longer hurt. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go see the doctor first."
"Why didn't you hit her back?" Alina hit her, but Silvia did not fight back. This was not how Silvia, Andrew was familiar with, would behave.
Andrew deliberately slowed down his pace so that Silvia could catch up with him. Silvia noticed his thoughtful gesture and smiled. She said, "I wanted to hit her back at first, but when I thought of what she had done for Felix, I just couldn't. She was the one who took care of Felix when he was injured. I know that she had hit me because she was worried about Felix. However, I‘ve already warned her that this would be the first and the last time she will hit me."
"Silvia, are you really willing to do anything for Felix?" Andrew could not help but raise his voice. Silvia held back because of another man, but he was the one who felt distressed seeing her getting bullied.
"No." Silvia shook her head. "Felix has always been good to me and he would always prioritize me in everything he does. Now that he's injured, I thought that I should at least take care of him. I hope that he can recover quickly and find someone who he truly loves."
Andrew asked, "What if he couldn't find one? Are you going to take care of him for the rest of his life then?"
Silvia once again shook her head and said firmly, "No. I'm not going to do that."
Andrew raised his eyebrows and asked, "You won't?"
Silvia chuckled. "Of course. I have someone more important who I need to take care of."
For example, her mother, Andrew, and the children she and Andrew would have in the future. They were the people who were the most important to her.
Her relationship with Felix had become a thing of the past and they would have their own lives from now on.
Silvia believed that an excellent man like Felix would be able to find a woman who would love him truthfully, a woman who would be willing to face all the trials and tribulations with him in the future.
CHAPTER 1424
"Someone much more important to you?" The moment Andrew heard that, Mrs. Turner was the first person that came into his mind. He had never expected that Silvia would include him, so he was feeling a little bitter about it. "Your mother only has you now. You really have to take good care of her."
”Who says that she only had me?" Silvia took Andrew's hand and held it tightly together. "Since you've also recognized her as your mother, you're now her son too. You guys are now each other’s family. As long as you don't bully me and treat me nicely, she will dote on you like you are her own."
Moreover, Silvia would have her own children in the future. By then, Mrs. Turner would become a grandmother, and she would have a bigger family to take care of her. Her mother would not feel lonely anymore.
"Silvia, this is the most beautiful thing I've heard you say ever since I knew you. "After listening to Silvia's words, Andrew thought that if his old illness were to relapse and even cost him his life, his trip back to Madison City was still worth it.
Silvia said, “Andrew, don‘t always look down on me. I'm working hard to become a better person.“
She would do all she could to find the culprit who hurt Felix, to take care of her mother, to become a good wife and to become a better person.
"Boss, Boss... Oh, Young Master Carter, you're here." Prince appeared out of nowhere. He looked like he had a lot to tell Silvia, but immediately swallowed his words the moment he saw Andrew.
Silvia patted Prince's back, trying to ease his breathing. "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"
Prince covertly glanced at Andrew before turning his head to look at Silvia. "No... nothing."
Silvia patted his shoulder and said, "Out with it. Stop behaving hesitantly like a woman, will you? There are no outsiders here, why can't you just say it?"
Prince did not want to hold back his words, but what he wanted to tell Silvia had something to do with Andrew, who was standing right before him. How could he talk about Andrew in his face? No, it was not because he could not say it, it was because he did not have the courage to do it.
Andrew noticed Prince's wariness against him so she said, “Silvia, if Prince doesn't want to talk about it, then don't ask him anymore. Let's find a doctor to take a look at your face first while he thinks it over. Once he has thought it all through, he will definitely tell you."
"Yeah, Boss. You should go get your face treated first. I had to go look for Lemur too. I wonder where he went. I haven't seen him all day." Prince avoided Andrew's gaze and smiled at Silvia. Then, he turned around and went back where he came from.
Looking at Prince's fleeing figure, Silvia said with certainty, "I'm sure that this fellow has something to tell me but I don't know why he refused to tell suddenly. Andrew, do you know why?"
"It's true that we should use our brains to think, but not just for anything, okay?" Andrew once again held Siivia's hand and said. "Let's see the doctor first. You can deal with Prince later.“
Silvia said, "What if he doesn't want to tell me?"
Andrew replied, “You'll have to beat him up then."
Silvia nodded. “Yeah, this is the only way that I can get him to tell me."
After taking a look at Silvia's cheek, the doctor concluded, "Mr. Carter, there's nothing serious about the swelling on Miss Turner's face. I'll prescribe some topical medication to help reduce inflammation. She'll have to apply it once now and another time before she goes to bed. The swelling will be gone by tomorrow morning."
What did the doctor mean by nothing serious?
Did she have to come in with bruises and scratches on her face to be considered severe?
Andrew was dissatisfied with the doctor's inappropriate choice of words and scolded, "Her face is swollen now. What do you mean that it's nothing serious? Is it only considered serious if your wife was the one who got hit in the face?“
The doctor wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Mr. Carter, I apologize for my choice of words. I‘ll prescribe the best medicine for Miss Turner and l reassure you that the swelling will be gone by tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll quit my job as a doctor.“
Seeing that the doctor was shaking with fear, Silvia felt sorry for him. She said, "Andrew, I have gotten into countless fights and these injuries don't bother me at all. Don't make a big fuss over it, okay?"
Looking at Andrew's cold face, the doctor knew that he must not neglect them. Else, he might actually lose his job.
Andrew took the medicine from the doctor and personally applied it on Silvia's face. The medicine had a cooling sensation on the face, which made Silvia feel refreshed in an instant.
Silvia took a sniff. The medicine was not like any other ordinary medicine. Instead, it had a delicate fragrance. “Andrew, this ointment felt quite nice on the skin and it's quite fragrant too. Could you ask the doctor to prescribe us a few more tubes so that I can keep them at home in case I need them later?"
Silvia used to get into a lot of fights in the past, and her face would often get hurt. She had never visited the doctor for her injuries and would only go to the pharmacy to get some ointment. However, she had never come across an ointment that she liked this much.
"Keep it at home in case you need it later?“ Andrew gently poked Silvia‘s injured cheek, causing her to scream in pain. Under her intense glare, Andrew said, "Do you plan to get slapped again?"
"Who would ever want that? It's my first time getting slapped in the face, okay?" Silvia put her hands on her hips. "If it weren't because of Felix, I would have already beaten Alina to a pulp."
"You? Beating her up?" Andrew sized Silvia up, "Just look at that skinny body, do you really think that you'll be able to beat someone up?"
"What's wrong with me?" Silvia tried to reason with Andrew. "It doesn't mean that I'll only be able to fight someone if I'm bigger. Although I'm thin, I have plenty of muscles."
Andrew glanced at her and said, "If you don't plan to get beaten up, then don't ask the doctor to prescribe extra medicine for yourself. Instead, you should get them for your opponents. They‘ll need it more than you do."
"Andrew, I didn't expect you'll have such an insight." Silvia gave him a thumbs up. "Well, it seems like you've improved a lot after knowing me."
"So you're saying that it's all because of you?" Andrew chuckled. "Perhaps, you weren't aware that I've started working alongside my father at the age of fourteen. Ever since, my father has taught me that the business world is like a battlefield. It's a man eat man world. In order to survive, you'll have to carve a bloody path to the point that no one would ever dare to mess around with you."
Silvia asked, "What if I can never reach your level?"
After applying the medicine, Andrew gently massaged her face to promote absorption. He then said, "You don't need to get to where I am today. You'll just have to be better than you were yesterday."
Silvia looked at him. This time, she could see the gentleness in his eyes, and his exclusive love for her. She reached out her arms to hug his head and leaned over to press her red lips against the corner of his mouth, "Andrew, I've decided that, from now onwards, I'll love you for the rest of my life, and the next life, and the life after... Forever and ever."
CHAPTER 1425
Silvia's sudden confession surprised Andrew, making his mind go blank for quite a few moments.
When he finally came to his senses, Silvia had already stood up. "Andrew, Felix hasn‘t woken up yet. I have to go back to him. I've already promised him that I'll stay by his side until he wakes up."
Upon hearing what Silvia had said, Andrew became jealous and his face had darkened. He was her husband, but all Silvia had in her mind was another man. He said, "I've also decided that from today onwards, I'll be by your side no matter what you do."
Silvia looked at the change in his face. She felt helpless yet amused. ”Andrew, I'm very happy that you came all the way back to Madison City to accompany me, but I still hope that you can return to Jiangbei immediately. The weather here is too cold for you and if you fall ill too, I won't be able to take care of both of you and Felix at once. Can you bear to see me tire myself out for the two of you?"
Andrew did not know how to answer her.
Since he was already back in Madison City, he would only return to Jiangbei when Silvia's matters were settled. It would be impossible for him to go back without Silvia.
Silvia was happy that Andrew could come over and keep her company, but whenever she thought of his health condition, she would start to worry. She said, "There are three more days left until New Year's Eve. If you don‘t go back now, you will miss the New Year's Eve dinner with your family. It wouldn't be good to be away from your family during such festive season."
Andrew said in a deep voice, "Silvia, don't forget that you're also one of us. Without you, everyone at home will miss you too."
Silvia did not know how she could persuade Andrew anymore. "That is why I'll have to stay by Felix's side. I hope that he can wake up as soon as possible and once he has recovered, I can finally be at ease and do whatever I want to do."
Andrew exploded with jealousy, "Who knows what you are thinking."
Silvia said, "All I think about is you." Andrew was taken aback.
It seemed that this woman had become much smarter now. She finally knew what kind of words could hit his soft spot.
Silvia held his arm and said coyly, "Young Master Carter, listen to me and go back to Jiangbei first, okay?"
Andrew took her hand away and walked out, "The doctor who I have contacted has arrived. We'll let them take a look at Felix first. Then, we can talk about our stuff after that."
Silvia grabbed him. "But Alina was certain that you're the one who hurt Felix. She will not let the doctors see Felix. We'd better think of a way to get her consent first."
Andrew replied, "I've already gotten her consent."
Silvia did not believe it. "Alina has already agreed to it? But we've been together right after you mentioned it. I didn't hear Alina agreeing to it though. Andrew, we should really take this matter seriously. Let's not be rash, okay?"
Andrew replied, “There's no need for her to say anything because she has already signed the consent form."
Silvia said, "When did that happen? Why was I not aware of that?"
Jayden replied, "Yesterday."
Silvia was even more confused. "But you didn't see Alina yesterday, did you? How did you make her sign it?"
Andrew said, "I asked the hospital to get her to sign it yesterday."
Silvia kind of understood what Andrew was trying to tell her. "Do you mean that the medical experts you've hired are from this hospital?"
Andrew said gratifyingly, "You're finally getting it. However, the doctors are not in fact from this hospital. I hired them in the name of this hospital."
Silvia finally understood this time. It turned out that Andrew had used his connections to hire those medical experts. Such medical experts were not someone any hospital could recruit. Now that these experts were relocated to this hospital to treat Felix, of course the hospital would be more than happy to accept them.
Since it was a consultation that the hospital had arranged, there was no need for Alina to sign another consent form.
Andrew held Silvia's hand, who was still in a daze. "The doctors are in a meeting now. Let's go in and listen to what they are discussing.“
Silvia nodded, looking a little silly as she said, “Oh, okay."
…………..
Jayden brought Silvia to a monitoring room. In the room, The doctors’ team which Andrew had hired and Felix's attending doctors were discussing Felix's condition.
"Andrew, did you hire those two doctors on the left?" Silvia pointed at the people in white coats. "They look very experienced."
"Shh..." Andrew made a silent gesture and whispered, "Let's listen to what they are talking about first."
Of the two doctors Andrew had contacted, the elder one was Dr. Black, a well-known expert in the medical industry. Dr. Black would definitely be of help to Felix's condition.
Dr. Black said, "Dr. Leopold, could you please tell us more about Felix's condition?"
Dr. Leopold asked his assistant to give out a copy of Felix's medical report to everyone who was present in the room. Then, he said, "Professor Black, the one you have in your hands now are Felix Xavier's medical reports. I have only one sentence to describe his condition. Based on my 40 years medical experience, he's the first ever patient who actually survived such a severe injury."
"He's the first ever patient who actua|ly survived such a severe injury."
Upon hearing Dr. Leopold's words, Silvia‘s heart was aching. It felt as if she could feel the pain that Felix was going through. If she could, she really wished that she could go through the pain on his behalf.
Andrew grabbed her hand at that instant, telling her not to be anxious. He asked her to listen to what the doctors had to say, but after listening to what the doctors had said subsequently, Silvia could no longer hear a word in her ears.
Who the hell was the culprit? Why did he hurt Felix over and over again? Could it be Norman Turner?
However, Norman was jailed, and his remaining forces had also been crushed. By right, Norman would not have the ability to hurt Felix anymore.
If it was not Norman, then who else could it be?
At this time, Alina's roar sounded in Silvia's mind, "Silvia, I hope that you can tell me honestly if you've told Andrew that Felix is still alive!"
Thinking of Alina‘s words, Silvia tilted her head to look at Andrew. She carefully observed every subtle change in his expression. Silvia was so engrossed in looking at him that Andrew could even sense her gaze. He turned his head and looked at her. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Andrew..." When Silvia was calling his name, she hesitated, "Norman has been serving his time in prison and you’ve wiped out his gang too. Who do you think is the culprit this time?“
“Silvia, you're suspecting me, aren't you?" Andrew said rhetorically. He had said so because he could see a hint of doubt in Silvia's eyes.
