CHAPTERS 1426 - 1430
🔺CHAPTER 1426🔺
"l..." Silvia wanted to deny it, but she could not because she did suspect Andrew a while ago.
She obviously believed Andrew, but for some reason, she had started to doubt him. Perhaps, Alina's words had really affected her thoughts.
"Silvia, do you know that your silence feels like you're stabbing a knife into my heart?" Andrew grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. "My heart is also made of flesh and blood, it will get hurt too."
”Andrew, I, I'm sorry!" Silvia avoided the disappointed look in Andrew's eyes. "No, it's just that I couldn't think of anyone who would hurt Felix and Alina's words came into my mind out of a sudden. I was very confused at that time and began to think if it might be you.“
Andrew retracted his gaze and did not say another word. He got up and slammed the door as he left.
Silvia did not know what to say.
Silvia held back the urge to chase after Andrew because she knew that she would not know how to explain to him when she caught up with him. It was an undeniable truth that she had suspected him.
Back in the conference room, the doctors were still discussing Felix's situation. After a long time, they finally came to a conclusion. The conclusion was that the medical experts would still have to take a look at Felix themselves.
After a long and unfruitful discussion, Silvia decided that there was no need for her to listen to the discussion anymore.
Coming out of the monitoring room, Silvia did not see Andrew. Instead, Prince came up to Silvia and said sneakily, "Boss, let's go to the rooftop now. I have something to tell you."
Silvia was worried about Andrew, so she had no patience to listen to what Prince was telling her. "Why can't you just tell me here? Why do we have to go all the way to the rooftop? Are you crazy or something?"
"Boss, don't ask me about it now. I'll go over first, hurry up and come over, okay? Else, you'll really regret it." After telling Silvia that, Prince turned around and ran away.
Silvia knew Prince very well. He would never joke around with her at critical times like this, so she hurriedly caught up with him. Once she had arrived at the rooftop, not only did she see Prince, Lemur was there too. "Are you guys trying to play some undercover games with me now?"
Prince said, "Boss, Andrew is in the hospital and he might show up by your side at any time. This is the only way we could talk to you alone."
Noticing Prince and Lemur's solemn faces, Silvia felt somewhat uneasy. "What did you two want to tell me? Just say it. I have to keep Felix company so I don't have the time to chit-chat with you guys here."
After receiving a knowing look from Prince, Lemur handed an envelope to Silvia and said, "Boss, there are two photos in it. You should take a good look at them. We'll tell you what we thought about it when you're done looking at them."
Silvia opened the envelope. There were indeed two photos in it. One was a photo of Felix being hit by a car. The other one was of Stanley Pierson standing next to Felix, who was lying in a pool of blood. He was looking at Felix with a sinister face.
"It turned out that Felix was really seriously injured at that time. No wonder the doctor said that it was the most serious case he had ever seen in his 40 years of medical practice." Looking at these two photos, Silvia was extremely distressed. "Why is Stanley standing next to Felix?"
Prince said, "Boss, why do you think Stanley was with Felix at that time?"
Silvia did not want to think negatively. "No, no, that's not it..."
Lemur continued, "Boss, Prince and I once thought that Young Master Carter had really fallen for you, and that you will be happy with him. We've never expected that he was actually the one behind Felix's accident.“
Silvia rebuked, "Don't talk nonsense, Lemur!"
Lemur said, "Boss, In fact, I hope that what l just said is nonsense, and I also hope that this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Carter, but the evidence is right in front of you now. How are we going to trust him?"
"But it's not proven that Stanley is the one who killed Felix with just these photos, right? Even if it does, he might not have done it under Andrew's order.“ Silvia did not want to believe it, but she was still flustered. She knew how loyal Stanley was to Andrew, and Stanley's every move must have something to do with Andrew.
Prince continued, "Boss, we don't know whether these two photos can prove that Stanley is the murderer, but I believe that you should know better than us. No matter who is the culprit, the most important thing we have to do now is to find out the truth."
"Where did you guys get these photos from?" The pictures did not explicitly show that Stanley was the one who hurt Felix, so it could not be proven that Stanley was the murderer. Silvia quickly calmed down. She thought that she could start by finding the origin of the photos or even the person who took the pictures. With that, she would be able to find the murderer.
"It was from Alina Bell." Prince answered honestly. "We even took the photos for image authentication. They are not composite images."
Silvia said, "There must be some misunderstanding in here."
Prince looked at Silvia worriedly. “Boss, we really hope that Young Master Carter is not involved in this, but we have to say that he has the motive."
Silvia asked, "What motive?"
"Just think about it, Boss. Young Master Carter must have known that you used to like Felix and now that Felix is back, he's worried that you will get back together with Felix.“ That was what Prince thought when he got these photos. He continued, "So he thought that it would be better to kill Felix off when you were unaware that Felix is still alive. However, man proposes but god disposes. They had never expected that someone would actually run into them when they were at it, and even took photos of the crime."
After listening to Prince's analysis, Silvia felt at ease instead. "Prince, after listening to your analysis, I'm certain that Andrew has nothing to do with this.“
Prince was puzzled, “Why though?"
Silvia said, "Because I already knew that Felix was still alive, and Andrew knew that too. He promised me that no matter what happened, as long as the situation does not endanger his life, he would never do any harm to Felix."
Prince said, "But he can just order someone to kill Felix behind your back, can't he? The promise would be invalid then."
Silvia burst into laughter and said, "I've never thought about it in this respect, but after listening to what you guys had told me, I think that someone is trying to frame Andrew. And their purpose is to let me believe that Andrew is the mastermind.“
Prince and Lemur said, "Boss, we're just giving you the clues we got. We've never thought of framing Young Master Carter. First of all, we don't have the ability. Secondly, we don't have the courage. And thirdly, we don't have the motive to do that.”
"Yeah, you guys don't have the ability and the courage to do so. Most importantly, you guys don't have the motive." Looking at the gloomy sky, Silvia asked, “Who has the motive then?"
When Silvia asked this question, a face flashed through her mind. It was someone who she was very familiar with and someone who she trusted a lot. It was Felix!
🔺CHAPTER 1427🔺
The moment Felix's face appeared in Silvia's mind, Silvia quickly patted her head. She told her that she could suspect anyone, but never the victim himself.
No one in this world would be that stupid to injure oneself to this point to frame someone else. Furthermore, according to Silvia's analysis, Felix did not have any motives to frame Andrew.
Yes, Felix was such a warm-hearted person, and he was always good to her too. He probably would not do such a wicked thing. Despite that, Silvia was beginning to feel frightfully uncertain.
Would Felix not do that? Would he really not do that?
If that was really the case, then why did Silvia think that he was somewhat dodgy recently? However, she could not figure out what about him that was suspicious.
Perhaps, it was not Felix that was dodgy. It was her. She had a change of heart, so she was no longer looking at Felix and treating him like how she treated him when she was in love with him. This was the reason why she felt that Felix had changed.
Prince knew Silvia very well. Judging from the look on Silvia's face, Prince thought that Silvia might have thought of something, so he said, "Boss, did someone suspicious come into your mind?"
Silvia shook her head. "No."
Prince said, "If something caught your attention, you can just tell us and we can analyze it together. Although Lemur and l are not that smart, it's better for the three of us to think of a way together than you trying to figure it all out by yourself."
Silvia patted on their shoulders and said, "I'm really blessed to have you guys. Prince, Lemur, thanks for staying by my side and not abandoning me during the hard times."
Prince and Lemur said simultaneously, "You are our boss. If we don‘t stay by your side, who else are we going to stick by then?"
Silvia added, "I'll take these photos with me. By the way, make sure you guys pay more attention to the people around you. Those who are hiding in the dark probably know that we're close to each other, that's why they've been asking Alina to hand over these so-called evidence to you guys."
Prince nodded and said, "Okay, we'll do that. But before we find out the truth, you should be more wary of Young Master Carter too. What if it really turns out that he is the mastermind?"
Silvia once again raised her head to look at the dusky sky. She sighed, "There won't be any 'what ifs'. I believe that Andrew is not the mastermind."
For some inexplicable reasons, Silvia believed in Andrew. She believed that he would never use such despicable means to harm anyone, and she believed in every single word he had said to her.
Since Silvia was this certain, Prince thought that he should not say anything else about Andrew. "Boss, no matter what, you have to protect yourself. You have to remember that Lemur and I will always be by your side."
Silvia smiled and said, "Okay, I know."
After returning to Felix's ward, Silvia saw that the doctors who Andrew had hired were doing a full-body examination on Felix. It looked like they had just begun, so it should take them some time until the entire process was completed.
Alina Bell was sitting on the chair in the corridor, burying her head in her palms and looking extremely worried. Silvia had just arrived, but Alina still noticed her. Alina raised her head all of a sudden and stared at Silvia fiercely. "If it weren't for you, Felix wouldn't be lying there suffering so much pain."
In fact, Alina was not wrong, and her words had really hit Silvia hard.
Silvia recalled what Andrew had told her. He told her that Norman Turner wanted to hurt Felix because of her. If the truth was as Andrew told her, then she would be the main reason why Felix was injured this time.
Silvia could not defend herself, nor did she want to. She did not think that she needed to give Alina an explanation, hence she decided to remain silent.
Seeing that Silvia was not answering her, Alina was infuriated. What she hated the most was Silvia's arrogant attitude, so she reprimanded, "Silvia, do you think that you'll be able to clear yourself from being indirectly involved in Felix's attempted murder?"
"Attempted murder?" Silvia hated these words. She looked at Alina with a forced smile. "Alina, no one is a murderer until proven guilty. You're just showing that you're ignorant by calling someone a murderer before he or she is convicted."
Silvia's words were firm and powerful, and her imposing manner overwhelmed Alina. Alina was so pissed off that she shouted, "Silvia, all you did was hook up with a man. If you didn‘t have Young Master Carter's support, did you really think that you could be this arrogant?"
Silvia laughed, "Alina, it seems like you haven't noticed that no matter I have Andrew's support or not, I'm always this arrogant. I've always been like this, and I will be like this in the future.“
Alina was exasperated so much so that she felt her veins were going to burst. Moreover, she could not find any words to refute Silvia because Silvia was indeed this arrogant ever since she knew her, even before she had gotten together with Andrew.
Silvia added, "Alina, I'm not here to quarrel with you, so don't come finding faults with me anymore. All I want now is that the doctors could wake Felix up as soon as possible."
Alina sneered and said, "I think you'd rather Felix stays asleep forever, don't you? That way, you can spend the rest of your life with your Young Master Carter without any worries."
Silvia asked, "Alina, do you know how ugly you are now?”
"What the f’ck are you talking about?" The only thing that Alina was proud about herself was her beauty. She was a campus belle but Silvia actually called her ugly. It was utterly intolerable.
Silvia drawled, "Alina, I believe you've heard that jealousy makes one ugly. Whether it is now or before, you just look so damn ugly."
"So you're saying that I'm jealous of you? Why would I be jealous of you?" Alina's voice became softer as she spoke. She was indeed jealous of Silvia.
She was jealous that Silvia had parents who doted on her, friends who defended her and Felix who loved her dearly... There were too many things about Silvia that she was jealous of.
"I know that you sincerely care about Felix, and I'm grateful that you were there by his side when he was injured," Silvia looked at Alina. "If it weren't for this reason, I would never let you be this rude to me."
Alina said disdainfully, "What can you do to me?"
Silvia put on a gentle smile, "What can I do to you? Believe it or not, I can beat you up so hard that you'll not be able to open your mouth and say those disgusting words to me ever again.
Alina raised her hand and flung her hand towards Silvia‘s face. "Well, I'd really like to see which one of us wouldn't be able to open our mouths then."
Previously, Silvia was too worried about Felix's condition, so she wasn't paying attention to Alina. However, this time, before Alina's hand could reach her face, Silvia had already grabbed hold of Alina's wrist.
Silvia clenched Alina's wrist and said with a smile, "Alina, I just said that I would not give you another chance to hit me. It seems like you‘re a little forgetful, huh?"
🔺CHAPTER 1428🔺
Alina did not expect that the skinny Silvia could be this strong. Alina had already used up all her strength but she still could not break away from Silvia's grip.
"Let go of me, Silvia Turner!" Alina gritted her teeth and struggled. She had been struggling to break away from Silvia but to no avail. Just as she was about to muster her remaining energy to fight back, Silvia released her grip, causing Alina to fall backwards.
Silvia sat on the chair motionlessly as she looked at Alina dropping to the ground. It was clear that she had won this round of battle effortlessly.
"Silvia, you..." Aiina's fall attracted the passersby’s attention. She was so embarrassed that her face was already twisted in rage whereas Silvia was still as calm as a cat.
Silvia stood before her and looked down at her like a proud queen. "Let me teach you something, Alina. Never provoke someone who you can never win against. Otherwise, you might die even before you knew it."
Alina was livid. However, she could not retort because what Silvia said was absolutely right. This was how the society worked.
Unless she got stronger or found herself a backer who was stronger than Silvia, she could never be as arrogant as Silvia. This was how cruel the reality was.
And at this time, just like how it was depicted in many TV series, Andrew appeared out of nowhere. Alina saw him, but Silvia did not. Alina, like most antagonists, immediately thought of a plan to set Silvia up. She wanted Andrew to see Silvia's 'true colors'.
Alina put on an aggrieved expression and said pitifully, "Silvia, why do you care so much about Felix? Do you still love him? Do you still want to get back with him?"
Sure enough, this very question halted Andrew in his tracks.
Silvia chuckled. "I don't want to answer your question."
Alina tried to goad her. "Silvia, are you avoiding my question because you're guilty? Don’t tell me that you're still thinking about Felix even when you're sleeping in Young Master Carter's arms?"
Silvia bent over and whispered into Alina‘s ear, "AIina, oh my Alina. Didn't I just warn you not to trick me ever again? Why are you still doing this?"
Alina firmly believed that Silvia refused to answer her because she was guilty. Hence, she was even more determined to make Silvia respond to her question. "Silvia, enough with all this nonsense. It's just the two of us here. There's no need to hide your true thoughts from me."
Silvia reached out her hand and patted Alina's face. She spoke in a voice so soft that only Alina could hear. "Alina, do you think that I'm stupid? There's a big mirror behind you. I knew that Young Master Carter is right behind me. It‘s really so innocent of you to think that you'll be able to trick me."
After exposing Alina's scheme, Silvia stood up and said loudly, "Alina, please don't think that everyone has nasty thoughts like you do."
Silvia continued, "Felix grew up with me and he doted on me, of course I'll have to be good to him. I hope that I can help him recover from his injuries. As for Andrew, he is my husband and I plan to spend the rest of my life with him. Please don't ask me this question ever again. I will never answer you."
Alina clenched her fists tightly. Her plan had once again failed. Silvia looked innocent, but deep in her bones, she was sinister and cunning.
She did not know that Silvia had become such a careful person after being through all the trials since her father's death. She was no longer the reckless young lady who would fall into traps easily.
Regarding Silvia's transformation, the person she had to thank the most was Andrew, who had been hiding in a corner and eavesdropping on their conversation. Not only that, she had to thank the young lads, Julien and Levi, too.
These boys were only twelve years old and yet they were already so clear-sighted. If she, as an adult, did not improve herself, how could she tell the others that she was one of the Carters?
………...
Andrew, who was upset with Silvia, finally looked much happier after hearing what Silvia had said to Alina. He walked up to her and pulled Silvia, who had just confessed her love for him, into his arms. "You did a great job."
Before Silvia could speak, Alina interrupted, "Young Master Carter, don't let this woman fool you. She said those things because she saw you through the mirror. She knew that you were here all this while."
Silvia nodded honestly. "Yes, she's right. It's true that I knew you were behind me and that's the reason why I've said it. It's so that you could hear them."
Andrew ignored Alina and stroked Silvia's head as he said, "Those words were meant for me, of course she had to say them when I‘m around."
Silvia smiled. She thought that Andrew was indeed getting better at making her happy.
Alina widened her eyes. She was not willing to admit defeat, and she wanted to vent all her anger, but there was no one she could vent to. Hence, she could only swallow her anger back into her stomach.
Andrew added, "Silvia, I've heard everything you've said. If someone were to ask you the same question again, just ignore them. You're my wife, and I'm the only person who you need to express your love to."
Silvia was about to nod when a nurse rushed over. "Miss Turner, the patient is in a bad condition, but he has been calling your name. Also, the doctors have decided to operate on him, and they've agreed to let you be in the operating theatre."
Alina opposed, "I'm the patient's only guardian. I've not consented to this so this woman is not allowed to be in the operating theatre."
The nurse said, “Miss Bell, the patient is in a critical stage and he has been calling Miss Turner's name. It will be helpful to have her by his side. I believe you would want the best for the patient, right?"
Alina glared at Silvia. "Silvia, I will allow this, but if anything happens to Felix, I will make you pay with your life. You'd better remember this."
Silvia ignored Alina. She turned towards Andrew and said, "Andrew, you're not fully recovered, you should go home and get some rest first. I'll be home once Felix's condition improves."
Andrew rubbed her head. "Okay, go keep him company. I'll wait for you outside."
Silvia still wanted to say something, but the nurse said hurriedly, “Miss Turner, we have to carry out the surgery immediately. Please follow me to the isolation room to get changed."
🔺CHAPTER 1429🔺
|n the operating room.
With Silvia around, Felix's condition had improved a lot. All the doctors were surprised, but this was not the time for them to be amazed. They had to get ready for another round of surgery.
"Silvia, Silvia...” For the past few days, Felix would call out Silvia's name whenever he was conscious.
Silvia stood beside the operating table, trying as much as she could not to interrupt the doctor's preparation. "Felix, I'm Silvia. I'm here to accompany you. You don't have to worry about the surgery, okay? Everything will be fine."
"Silvia..." Felix suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Silvia. "Silvia, leave Andrew and return to my side, alright? I love you. I can't live without you."
"Felix, let's not talk about this first. Let's focus on the surgery instead, okay?" Everything between them was already a thing of the past. There was nothing they could do to turn back time, but why couldn't Felix understand it?
"Answer me, Silvia. If you don't, I'll refuse the surgery." This was Felix's final bargaining chip. If he could not make Silvia leave Andrew this time, then he would lose her completely. Thus, even if he were to threaten her like this, he would not hesitate one bit. For him, there was nothing more painful than losing her.
“Felix, Andrew and l are already married. I'm his wife now, so it‘s impossible for me to leave him. I hope that you can get well soon and find someone who can spend the rest of her life with you. Since we've already missed out on each other, we should just move on." Silvia knew that her words were harsh, but she had to say it anyway. She knew that if she did not make it clear to Felix, he would still think that they had a chance together. That was not what she wanted to see.
"Silvia, do I not own a place in your heart anymore?" All this while, Felix refused to believe that Silvia no longer loved him. He would not believe it, unless Silvia told him personally.
"Felix, you do have a place in my heart, but I only see you as my brother." In Silvia's opinion, some people were meant to stay in the past. One must not dwell in the past, but look forward in life.
"You really don't have me in your heart anymore..." Felix repeated. He became so agitated that he removed the needle from the back of his hand. "Silvia, I don't care if you love me or not but you must remember this, I love you!"
"What are you doing, Felix?" Silvia screamed. She was so scared that she did not know what to do. Felix then said to her, “Silvia, I know I told you that I wouldn't mind who you got together with but they were all lies. I care about you very much and I want you to be mine. When I said those words to you, my heart felt like someone was cutting it open with a sharp knife."
Silvia was terrified. She said while sobbing, "Felix, let's not talk about this first. We can talk about it after the surgery, okay?"
Felix waved his hand to stop the doctor from approaching him. He said, "Silvia, you said you would marry me when you grow up, and that you would hold my hand and be with me forever. I remember what you've said to me, and that was the thing that kept me alive when I was dying. I told myself that you're still waiting for me and that I mustn't die because I was worried what would happen to you if I were to die.“
Felix was extremely agitated. The medical staff could not hold him down nor could they give him any sedatives. If he were to undergo the surgery in this state, the doctors were worried that things might not turn out well.
Dr. Leopold said, "Miss Turner, you are his only hope now. If you don't promise him, I'm afraid that the surgery will fail before it begins."
Felix continued, "Silvia, without you, what's the point of me living?“
Felix kept calling out her name, but Silvia could no longer feel any affection that she used to have for him. She could no longer see the warm and gentle smile that he had in the past.
It was as if he was no longer the Felix she knew.
Perhaps, both of them had changed. After going through so many things, he was no longer the cheerful Felix, and she was no longer the Silvia, who used to get into fights.
"Okay Felix, I promise you. I‘ll do whatever you say." Although it was against her will, that was her only choice at that moment.
She was the one who had wronged Felix. She must not let anything happen to him...
Felix's eyes lit up. “Silvia, are you willing to leave Andrew?"
"Yes.“ Silvia nodded heavily.
"Silvia, you're willing to return to my side too?" Felix asked, insisting on getting an answer.
"No Felix, we are never ever going back again. What we have between us is all in the past now. I can leave Andrew, but I can't get back together with you." That was Silvia's bottom line .
"Silvia..."
"Felix, let's get the surgery done first, okay?"
"Okay." Felix firmly believed that as long as Silvia would leave Andrew, she would eventually return to his side. Thus, he did not persist any further.
Felix's surgery was a success. The blood in his abdominal cavity was all cleared and he was no longer in a critical stage. However, the doctors still suggested that he stay in the ICU for two more days.
Now that Felix's surgery was so successful, and he was even awake, Silvia should have felt happy. However, Silvia could not bring herself to be happy at all. She did not know how she could face Andrew. More importantly, she did not know how to break up with him.
She did not want to leave Andrew at all. She wanted to stay with him forever, but she had to leave him. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
"Silvia..." Silvia was deep in her thoughts when she heard Andrew calling her name. She raised her head and saw the worried look in Andrew's eyes. "Felix's surgery was a success, but why are you still not happy?"
Silvia pursed her lips. After hesitating for quite a bit, she said, "Andrew... what, what if I were to break up with you..."
Andrew: "Is that what Felix wanted?"
"How, how did you know?" Silvia was shocked.
She stared at Andrew with her eyes wide open, hoping that he would give her an answer. However, he did not. Instead, he gave her a solution. "You promised him that you will leave me, but it doesn't mean that I'll let you go."
"But..."
"There are no ‘buts'. I only have one question, do you want to leave me?"
Silvia shook her head desperately. “No."
Andrew added, "Since you don't want to, then just listen to me.”
Silvia was still worried. ”But I'm afraid that I will hurt Felix again."
Andrew's face darkened. "You're afraid of hurting him, but are you not afraid of hurting me?“
Silvia murmured, "Of course I am."
🔺CHAPTER 1430🔺
Being an adult, one could no longer do everything as he or she wished. It was not just about what he or she wanted, but also about considering other people's feelings before taking any action.
Of course, Silvia could have violated her promise to Felix. However, she could not bring herself to do it... Nor did she want to.
She looked at Andrew. When she realized that she would not be able to look at him like this anymore, Silvia could not help but shed tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Andrew! I'm sorry!"
Andrew did not want to hear any apologies, so he said, "Silvia, I don't need you to apologize to me. You just have to tell me that you want to be with me and leave the rest to me."
Silvia shook her head. "It's not that. Felix was in a critical condition just now so I had no choice but to promise him. Since I've already promised him, I can't break the promise. I've already broken my promise to him once, I don't want to break it again."
"Silvia, have you ever considered my feelings when you promised him?" Andrew hugged Silvia and said in a deep voice, "Love is a two-sided matter. You can't just give up because you wanted to. You have to think about your partner!"
"Since you know that love is a two-sided matter, then why didn't you think that way when we first knew each other? Did you even ask me if I was willing to stay by your side?" Silvia did not mean to bring up the past, but she had emotions too. She did not know who she could express her emotions to other than Andrew because at this point in her life, Andrew was already the most intimate person to her.
Andrew looked at her in exasperation. "Silvia, what do you want me to say to make you understand?"
Silvia shook her head. "You don't have to say anything. I don't want to understand it either."
Andrew replied, “What do you want me to do then? Let you go and watch you return to Felix's side? I'm warning you, Silvia, don't you ever think about it."
"Who told you that I'm going back to him?" Silvia wiped away her tears. "Andrew, you should know better than anyone that Felix and I will never be like we were in the past.“
"Then tell me, Silvia, what exactly do you want?" As long as she was willing to stay by his side, Andrew would agree to any of her requests.
"Let's break up!" It was just a few words, but it was the hardest thing that had ever come through Silvia's lips, so much so that she felt like her body was completely drained after saying it.
She did not want to do that. However, she had no choice but to do it. It might be cruel to Andrew, but other than breaking up with him, she did know what else she could do. It was as if every way that she could think of was a dead end.
"Break up?" Andrew grabbed Silvia's shoulder and said firmly, "Over my dead body."
……….
Since Felix's condition had improved, he was then moved to the general ward. The person who was taking care of him was Alina Bell. "Felix..."
Felix interrupted Alina. "Don't say anything. Go get Silvia here."
"Silvia, she..." Alina wanted to say something, but Felix interrupted her again. "Alina, I told you not to say anything else. Just go get Silvia here."
Alina nodded. "Okay."
Felix was lying on the hospital bed. He was waiting for Silvia's arrival, looking extremely perturbed. After waiting for about half an hour, until he was feeling a little sleepy, someone arrived at the door.
Listening to the door knob turning, Felix thought that it must be Silvia. He knew that Silvia was genuinely worried about him. However, it turned out that the person who was here to see him was the person who he did not want to see the most.
That's right, he was the last person Felix ever wanted to see, the person Felix hated the most, and someone who Felix wanted to get rid of in that instant.
Felix stared at the man with a vicious look. The man was also looking at him, and his gaze was equally intense, as if he could see Felix through.
After looking at each other for a long time, Felix gnashed his teeth and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
"Does it matter though?" Andrew curved the corners of his lips, forming a beautiful smirk. However, his gaze was even more deadly than before.
Felix supported himself against the headboard, trying to stand up. However, due to his injuries, he could not move even an inch. Hence, he could only look up at Andrew as he said, "Do you think that I'm still not at my worst, so you're here to finish me off?"
"Mr. Xavier, I think you might have some misunderstandings about me. I've never done you any harm, nor have I ever ordered anyone to kill you." Andrew stood beside Felix's bed and looked at Felix, who was lying on the hospital bed. "You might not know who was the one who tried to kill you a few months ago, but do you not know who it is this time?"
"What are you trying to tell me?" Felix knew that Andrew was not someone to be trifled with, but he did not expect that Andrew would be this sharp-sighted. Did Andrew sense that something was fishy?
"Mr. Xavier, the day has eyes, and the night has ears. You should know that no matter how hard you try to cover your doings, you would still leave some traces behind." Andrew chuckled. "It's not the first time I've seen a man who can be so ruthless to himself. However, Mr. Xavier, you're the most pitiful one I've ever met.“
"Andrew Carter, what do you mean? I'm warning you, don't try to divert the attention onto me for what you've done." Felix glared at Andrew. This man had ruined everything he had and even took his beloved woman away from him. He was the very person who Felix wanted to take revenge on.
At this time, the man who had ruined his life was standing right before, and yet he could not do anything to him. He could not defeat this person, nor could he hurt him. He was not even certain if he could take Silvia back from this man.
"You assumed that no one knew what you've done, but my men have already found everything out. You were the one who staged the car accident. As for why you've done it, I don't think I'll need to explain it to you. You should know it better." Andrew had already gotten the evidence, but he was not certain that Felix was the one behind it. This was just his speculation.
"Show me the evidence then. if you don't have it, then stop bullshitting here." Felix pointed at the door. "Please get out of here, and ask Silvia to come in. The person I want to see is her, not you."
Felix was a little flustered when he heard that Andrew had gotten his hands on the evidence. However, when he thought about how perfect his plan was, he was no longer worried. Felix knew that Andrew might have the ability to find everything out, but he would not be able to do it within such a short period of time.
