CHAPTERS 1436 - 1440
CHAPTER 1436
At the dining table.
Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law were so in love, Mrs. Turner could not hide the smile on her face. "Silvia, Andrew, I'm really happy to see you two getting along so well."
"Mom, he was bullying me earlier this morning. We're definitely not getting well together." That was what Silvia said, but the smile on her face was not lesser than that of Mrs. Turner's.
On the other hand, Andrew was eating his breakfast silently. After all, no matter how well he treated her, Silvia would still accuse him of bullying her. Andrew really could not understand why Silvia had never thought that if she weren't his wife, would he even bother to bully her?
Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Okay, okay... If you say so..."
Silvia said coquettishly, "Mom..."
Mrs. Turner added, "Since you two are back, I should go home. The New Year is in two days. I'll have to clean up the house and wait for you two to come celebrate the New Year's at my place."
This was an old tradition in Madison City. The newly wedded daughters must go home during the first New Year to celebrate and receive blessings from their families and friends.
”Mom, I'm here in Madison City, how can I let you go home alone to celebrate the New Year's yourself?“ Silvia wanted to keep Mrs. Turner here, but since Andrew did not say a word, she was worried that Mrs. Turner would refuse her. Hence, she stretched out her leg and kicked Andrew under the table.
Andrew immediately knew what to do. He said, "Mom, like Silvia said, she's here, how can we let you go home alone for the New Year’s? Why don‘t you stay here with us? We‘ll celebrate the New Year together. It'll be much livelier with everyone around."
In fact, Mrs. Turner did want to spend more time with them, but she had a home herself too, so she thought that it would not be that appropriate to stay back at their place for the New Year's. "I'm happy that you two are so thoughtful of me, but I still think that i'll go home later."
Silvia was reluctant for Mrs. Turner to leave. "Mom, if you really want to go back, I'll go back with you."
Listening to Silvia's words, Andrew copied Silvia by kicking her under the table. It was their first New Year's ever since they had gotten married. How could she leave her husband and go to her parents' place to celebrate the New Year's instead?
However, Silvia was a little dense. She did not catch on what Andrew meant, so she said, "Why are you kicking me?"
Andrew was at a loss for words.
He had met idiots, but he had never met someone as stupid as her. Could he give her away in return for a smart wife instead?
Mrs. Turner laughed and said, “You two can stop kicking each other already. I'll have the final say on this matter. Silvia will stay here to celebrate the New Year's with you and you two can come pay me a visit after the New Year‘s."
Silvia glared fiercely at Andrew. "It's all your fault.“
Seeing that the two of them were bickering like how a normal couple would, Mrs. Turner could not help but smile from ear to ear.
Andrew kept quiet.
He thought that if he had the chance to marry another woman, he would definitely marry a gentle and considerate woman. He would make sure that he would not marry a reckless girl like Silvia. However, it seemed like his wish could only come true a few lifetimes later.
Silvia and Andrew had just sent Mrs. Turner home when Audrey's call came in. "Where have you been, Silvia? Why can't you at least send me a text? Am I still your friend?"
”In fact, I was about to give you a call. How about this, let's have lunch together this afternoon. It's up to you to choose the place." It wasn't that Silvia didn't think of Audrey, but she was busy being worried about Andrew.
"Come to my place then. I'll call Prince and Lemur to join us and we can have cheese fondue again." In fact, before calling Silvia, Audrey had already asked Prince and Lemur to go to the supermarket to get the ingredients. Regardless of Silvia's wishes, she was determined to make Silvia come over to her place.
After all, this was her first New Year's with these bunch of friends. She wanted to spend time with them and show them how much she valued this friendship.
"Okay. I'll be there in a bit." Silvia agreed immediately. After hanging up the phone, she saw that Andrew, who was sitting next to her, had a displeased look on his face. "Young Master Carter, who made you angry again?"
"Silvia, can't you just think of me first before you make any plans with your friends?" How dare this woman leave him alone at home as soon as she's back. If he had known it earlier, he would not have come back with her to receive such treatment.
"I'm going out with my friends, not running away with another man. Stop overthinking, will you?" Silvia raised her hand and put it on Andrew's shoulder. "Be good, I'll bring you some candy when I'm back, okay?"
Andrew looked at her and said, "Humph, just take a look at yourself. You look exactly like a high school student and yet you're treating me like a kid."
"Uncle Fuller, could you please send me to Season Garden on Easton Road?" Silvia's hands wandered on Andrew's body. She smiled and said, "Andrew, you should be grateful that I didn't complain about you being old."
Andrew slapped Silvia's hand away and said, "If you want to go, then go there earlier. I want you to come home right after you're done with your lunch. If you dare to stay there for a second longer, I'll cut you into pieces."
Needless to say, Silvia ignored Andrew's warning. "I'm hanging out with my friends, of course we'll talk about what we've done for the year. It's impossible that I‘ll be able to go home after lunch. It'll be good enough if I can be back after dinner. Therefore, you don't have to come pick me up later, I'll be home early tomorrow, okay?"
Andrew said in a deep voice, "Silvia, do you still want to go? You'd better not make me angry. Else, you won‘t get to go."
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Young Master Carter. I promise you that I‘ll be back after lunch, okay? I won't stay back for even a second." To ensure that she could meet up with Audrey, Silvia had no choice but to promise Andrew. However, she knew that if she could not make it home in time, Andrew wouldn't be able to find them anyway. So what could he do to her?
Andrew said with disdain, “Silvia, I really don't know what's wrong with you. I don't know how you end up being friends with a woman like Audrey."
Silvia and Audrey had completely different personalities. The fact that the two of them could become friends had indeed surprised Andrew.
Silvia asked fiercely, "What's wrong with Audrey? What's not good about her?"
Andrew, "In any case, she's not as good as you."
"You've really saved yourself with that mouth of yours." Silvia was about to burst into anger, but Andrew's words extinguished her raging flame. It seemed like Andrew finally knew what he should say in every situation.
"Be careful of your surroundings, okay?" Andrew put on a hat for her. He stroked her head and said, "You're still on recovery. Make sure you don't eat anything spicy, okay?"
Seeing that he was warning her like he was warning a child, Silvia felt that her heart was about to melt. "What should I do, Andrew?"
Listening to Silvia's crying voice, Andrew panicked, "What's wrong, silly girl? What do you mean?"
CHAPTER 1437
"I'm starting to feel like I can't leave you anymore." Although Andrew's words could be a little vicious sometimes, he was particularly thoughtful when it came to her health.
"Well, it is my ultimate goal in this life to make you stay by my side." Andrew pulled her into his arms and put on a pair of thick gloves on her hands. Then, he raised his hand to check the time, "You should go now. I'll be back at 1 pm. to pick you up."
Silvia threw herself into his arms. ”Let's stay like this for two more minutes."
Andrew said without hesitation, "Okay."
……..
Just as Silvia was walking towards Audrey's house, she happened to bump into Prince and Lemur, who were returning from the supermarket.
Looking at Andrew's car which was slowly driving away, Prince's face was full of worry. "Boss, we aren't sure if Young Master Carter was the one behind Felix's accident yet. Is it really okay for you to be this close to him?"
Silvia replied with confidence, "I believe in him."
Prince wanted to say something, but Lemur grabbed him and said, "Let's just have fun at Audrey's place and not talk about anything else today, okay?"
Silvia said, "Yup, Lemur is right."
Prince had no choice but to swallow his words. In fact, he had never doubted Andrew, but the pictures that Alina Bell had given them were indeed too misleading. Judging from the photos, Prince was sure that Stanley Pierson must have had something to do with the car accident.
"Why are you guys taking so long at the supermarket?" Audrey had already finished preparing everything and waiting for Prince and Lemur's return. When she came out of the house and saw Silvia, she immediately gave Silvia a big hug. "Silvia, it just feels better to have you here. These two just wouldn't stop making me worry about everything they do."
Silvia smiled and said, "You look like a vixen but are so kind inside. You are always worried about us for nothing."
Audrey rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes, that's right. It‘s my maternal instinct, I really can't help it, so it really serves me right having to worry about you guys for nothing. Don't you just pity me?"
Prince said, "Audrey, if you become my girlfriend, you don't have to worry about anything. I will get everything done for you before you could even ask for it."
Audrey slapped Prince's shoulder. "You little brat, if you really want to chase after me, then you should put more effort into it. Who knows I might actually agree to be your girlfriend one day."
The moment Audrey said that, all of them felt a gust of cold wind blowing across their faces. It was so cold that everyone began to pull their coats closer towards their body.
Prince said, "Is it just me, or is it getting colder now?"
Just as Prince was speaking, the other three had already noticed the source of the coldness. It was from the tall man who was standing at Audrey's door.
It was such cold weather, and yet the man was only wearing a leather jacket with a T-shirt inside. He was leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, looking as if the cold never bothered him.
He seemed like a frivolous person, but his eyes were extremely cold. His gaze alone was enough to make their blood run cold.
Silvia was the bravest among them, but she was also stunned. It had taken her quite a while to utter a sound. "Who, who are you? Do you not know that it's rude to stand at someone else's door like this?"
However, the man did not look at Silvia at all. His cold gaze was on Audrey. After taking a glance at her, the man stood straight and left.
Silvia was so angry that she wanted to kick him. "Who is he? How can he be this arrogant?"
Audrey grabbed Silvia and shook her head. When Silvia saw the tears in Audrey's eyes, she suddenly understood something. “Audrey, is he..."
Audrey interrupted Silvia. "Silvia, let‘s not ruin our mood over some stranger. We should go in first."
However, little did they know that when the man heard of the word 'stranger‘, he halted for a second and the look in his eyes had become much more terrifying.
Audrey took out her house key and wanted to open the door, but her hands were trembling so badly that she could not even open the door. Silvia quickly took over the key and opened the door with Prince and Lemur standing behind her.
"Where did that guy come from? He's so scary. We've been living in Madison City for so many years now, but we've never heard of such a person." Prince and Lemur were scared out of their wits, so they did not notice Audrey's strange behavior. They would even look back from time to time, for fear that the man would return.
"Do you actually think that you would know everyone just because you've lived here for so long? There are plenty of people that you don't know, okay?" Silvia immediately changed the topic. "Prince, Lemur, the two of you will prepare the ingredients while Audrey and I fix our makeup in her room.”
Prince and Lemur cried in grievance, "I mean, why do you have to fix your makeup? You're not out at a restaurant anyway. Besides, your Young Master Carter is not here. Who are you fixing your makeup for?"
"Can't we do it for ourselves?" Silvia did not want to talk to them anymore. She helped Audrey back to her room, and the moment they were in the room, Audrey's tears began to flow down uncontrollably.
Audrey was crying so sorrowfully that she could not speak coherently. "He's here... he's here but he left without even taking a good look at me. Just how much longer is he going to torture me like this?"
"Audrey..." Holding Audrey in her arms, Silvia wanted to comfort her, but she did not know what she could say. When it came to love, Audrey was definitely much more experienced than her.
"This is the first time he had ever showed up in front of me since he was gone. But, he didn't even want to say a word to me... I admit that it‘s my fault. I'd rather that he go away and never appear before me ever again. I don't want him to show up and disturb my life, and yet refuses to see me."
Ever since the man had left, Audrey had never shed a single tear for him. She thought that she could pretend like nothing had happened and live the vibrant life she wanted.
It was only when that man had suddenly appeared did Audrey realize that she had overestimated herself. In fact, she missed him a lot. She missed his embrace, and she wanted him to return to her side. However, she knew that it was just wishful thinking.
CHAPTER 1438
Silvia hugged Audrey. "Audrey, let's stop crying, okay? If you still want to be with him, then brave up and go look for him."
Audrey shook her head. "No, it's not about whether I want to look for him but whether he‘s willing to return to me."
Silvia tried her best to convince Audrey, "You haven't even tried it, how do you know that he's not willing to return to you? Have you never thought that he might be thinking the same thing too, that you're not willing to return to him?"
In fact, Audrey did want to take the initiative, but she knew that what happened, happened. There was nothing she could do to change it because that man was not even willing to look her into her eyes.
Silvia: "Audrey..."
At that moment, Silvia finally realized that when it came to love, standers-by would always see the entire picture more clearly than the parties involved. Silvia recalled how Audrey used to give her advice and analyze everything thoroughly. However, now that the same thing had happened to Audrey herself, she had completely lost her composure.
…………
At Chill Café.
This café was located on the top floor of a commercial building in the central business district. Although it was located in such a strategic location, it was never opened to the public, and only the owner's "friends" were welcomed here.
It turned out that Andrew was one of the owner’s friends. After dropping Silvia off at Audrey's place, Andrew did not go home, but asked the driver to send him here.
He was here for quite a while now. He had already finished an entire cup of tea, but the person who he was waiting for had not arrived. Fortunately, he was seated in a quiet private room with the best view of the city.
Madison City was divided into two major areas, the old town and the new town. The old town had thousand-year-old historical architectures and visitors would feel like they have travelled back into time. As for the new town, there were countless skyscrapers which showed off Madison City's booming development.
Three years ago, Andrew had visited a few cities and finally decided to settle down in Madison City because he was attracted to the unique charm of this city. And now, he would choose to stay here without hesitation because there was a person he would never be able to let go of in this place.
"Thinking about your woman again, huh?" The door to the private room was pushed open out of a sudden and a tall man stepped in. Seeing that Andrew was looking at the scenery, he jokingly teased Andrew.
"I've never expected that the woman who had hurt you so deeply would be Audrey." Upon hearing the man's voice, Andrew replied without looking back.
The man sat across Andrew. He leaned back on the sofa, and rested his long legs on the tea table as he said, “You and I haven't seen each other for such a long time. We should have a good chat. Do you have to make fun of me like this?"
Andrew withdrew his gaze from the beautiful scenery and looked at the man. He could not help frowning at the sight of the man's sitting posture. "So many years have passed and you still can't get rid of your bad habit. It's really annoying to look at."
The man laughed ruffianly, "Oh well... My father used to talk to me like this when I was a child, so I happened to pick up all his bad habits. I'm not like you, Young Master Carter. You've received good education, so you always knew how to carry yourself in front of others."
Andrew said in a deep voice, "If you dare to say another word, I'll seal your mouth."
The man raised his hand to surrender, and at the same time, he put his leg down. "Alright, let's get down to business."
"Sure," Andrew nodded.
The man said, “About the thing that you've asked me to look into, I've found out who was the one behind it. The person who ordered the doctor to tinker with your wife's medication was Felix Xavier."
Upon hearing that, Andrew's expression did not change much, but the look in his eyes had changed. There was a dark beam shining in his eyes, making him look like a bloodthirsty demon.
Andrew did not respond, but the man continued, "As far as I know, Dr. Thames knew that your wife was on some homeopathic medication so she lied to Felix saying that your wife was pregnant and that was why it happened."
The man paused and added, "Well my friend, I don't mean anything, but what happened to Felix was actually quite pitiful. But even if that is the case, he shouldn't have put the blame on you before he finds out the truth, right? So there's really no need for you to save the good impression he had in your wife's heart."
"I'm not a savior or something so his image doesn't have anything to do with me." Andrew only cared about Silvia. He did not tell Silvia about the truth because he did not want her to feel sad, not because he wanted to maintain Felix's image in Silvia's heart.
The man picked up the teacup and gulped down the tea. Then he said, "If you don't tell her the truth, she will never know what kind of a person he was and she will keep feeling guilty towards him."
“You can stay away from this, I have my own means to deal with it.“ Andrew once again turned his head and looked out of the window. Andrew noticed that it was still snowing outside. It had been snowing intermittently that day, however the snowfall did not get any heavier.
Andrew knew that he could have just told Silvia the truth, but he could not bring himself to do it. He was not willing to do anything that might hurt Silvia.
The man said, "You've really changed. You're not the Andrew I used to know. You used to be decisive, but look at you now."
Andrew shouted back at him, "Nordan Lawson!“
Nordan shrugged his shoulders. "Are you angry because what I said is true?"
Andrew said angrily, "Can't you just keep your mouth shut? You can‘t even handle your own affairs, what right do you have to criticize me?"
Nordan was speechless.
Andrew added, "Since you still love that woman, go get her back. Who cares if she loves you? Just think of a way to make her fall for you."
The moment Audrey was mentioned, Nordan instantly felt discouraged. "That woman would rather give up on herself and rely on someone else than return to me."
Andrew said, "This is not how you used to do things, my friend. You're the young master of Panther Gang. You don't even blink your eyes when you kill someone, but you can't even handle a woman. Are you still the Nordan Lawson I know?"
Listening to Andrew, Nordan was enraged. "Goddamnit, that woman even changed her name so that I can never find her. How do you think I'll be able to get her back?"
Andrew said, "Isn‘t it your style to be coercive and just get whatever you want? Just be like how you used to be then. Do you think she would be able to run away from you?“
Nordan scratched his head and waved his hand irritatedly. “I can deal with everyone, but damn it, I really can't do anything to that woman."
CHAPTER 1439
If being coercive could work on Audrey, Nordan would have done that a long time ago. However, what he wanted was not just Audrey's body, but her heart too.
Andrew said, "Oh... I never knew that the almighty young master of the Panther Gang would have such a compassionate heart."
Nordan replied, "Young Master Carter, we're here today to talk about your matters, not mine, okay? I don't need you, the legendary Mr. Carter of Madison City, to worry about my matters."
"Nordan, send me all the evidence you've gotten. Also, you're not allowed to interfere in this matter anymore." Andrew emphasized. Then, he gave Nordan a cold look before getting up to leave.
Nordan was left behind at the café. He continued to enjoy his tea and admired the unique scenery of Madison City. "He can't even handle a woman himself and yet he has the audacity to say that to me. But if he goes on like this, things will definitely get worse sooner or later. Since we've been friends for so many years, perhaps, I can think of a way to help him.“
In the hospital.
After a series of treatments, Felix's condition had greatly improved. He had never expected that Andrew would come to the hospital to see him... No, he should have expected that. Since Silvia was not here, it was the best time for Andrew to lay his hands on him. How could Andrew miss it?
Felix sneered and said, "Young Master Carter, what brings you here today?"
"Felix, you...“ Andrew stood in front of Felix's bed. Alina Bell who was also present was so scared that her legs had already gone weak. She wanted to say something, but she was too nervous that she began to stutter, unable to say even a word.
Felix said, "Go and wait outside. Make sure you don't let anyone in."
Alina nodded and immediately got out of the ward. However, because of her weakened legs, Alina almost fell onto the ground the moment she stepped out. She even had to support herself against the wall as she ran out of the ward.
At this point in time, there were only Andrew and Felix left in the ward.
Felix spoke, "Young Master Carter, since you're here to see me, why are you keeping a straight face and not saying a word at all? Why don't you tell me what evidence you've planned to show me today?"
Andrew said in a cold voice, “I want you to write a letter to Silvia and get the hell out of Madison City. The further the better, and don't let her see you ever again."
Felix laughed hysterically, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "You want me to write a letter to Silvia. And on top of that, you want me to leave Madison City and never appear in front of her again... Andrew Carter, do you think you're the law of the land? Do you think that I'll actually do as you say?"
"Well, you might want to take a look at this then..." Andrew threw a copy of the document at Felix's face. "Just this thing alone is enough to make me kill you ten times. You should be glad that I didn't actually do that."
"Hahaha..." Looking at the materials in his hand, Felix was laughing so uncontrollably that he looked like he had gone crazy. "Andrew, oh my Andrew, your child is gone and you deserved it!"
"I want you to write the letter right now." Andrew clenched his fists and resisted the urge to punch Felix.
Felix suddenly stopped laughing. "Andrew, do you know that Silvia is the girl who I've adored for almost twenty years? I've been waiting for her to grow up and marry her, but you ruined everything."
Felix gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious look, “I've always thought that she will be my wife, and I wanted to save her first time for our wedding night, but you, this animal, defiled her. She was a girl who I've treasured so much that I couldn't even bring myself to touch her. Who are you to be her first man? I should‘ve been the one to sleep with her! And I'm the only person she should have a child with! Who the hell are you? Do you think that you can replace me? In your dreams!"
Andrew did not want to waste any more time talking to Felix, so he shouted, "Stanley!"
"What can I do for you, Master Andrew?" Stanley Pierson barged into the ward as soon as he heard Andrew calling for him. Needless to say, Alina, who was guarding at the door, failed to stop him.
"Hand Mr. Xavier some papers and a pen and have him write a letter according to what I've said. If he doesn't want to write it, think of a way to get him to write it. If he still refuses, then you go ahead and break your own arm." Andrew had many ways to get Felix to write the letter, but it would depend on whether he was willing to use those means.
"Yes, Master Andrew." Stanley felt wronged. He had already stayed in the cold wind the day before and now his master even wanted him to break his own arm if he could not complete the task his master had given him. However, he had gotten smarter this time. He understood that his master only wanted to make Felix write the letter. He was not going to make him break his arm for real.
Andrew walked to the sofa and sat down. He crossed his legs elegantly and looked at Stanley and Felix as if he was watching a stand up comedy.
Stanley took the paper and pen and shoved them into Felix's hand. “Mr. Xavier, you have to write this letter even if you're not willing to. Please do cooperate with me and let me complete my task well. Otherwise, we'll both have to suffer the consequences."
Stanley was like an idiot in front of Andrew, but when it came to others, he would be so fierce that they would be afraid of him.
However, Felix was not some innocent guy. He had brushed death twice, so there was nothing that could scare him anymore. He said, "If you want to give me a hard time, then just come at me. I'll lose if I actually cry out in pain."
Stanley replied, "You‘re quite a stubborn guy, huh? Well, I'd really like to see how much more stubborn you can be."
Felix said disdainfully, "You're just a lackey. You don't deserve to talk to me. If you want me to write this letter, then ask your master to come to me personally. Otherwise, don‘t even think about making me write a word."
Stanley took off his coat and threw it on the ground. "Damn it, you even dared to orchestrate a car accident on yourself, didn't you? Then let me make you experience how it feels like to die a miserable death."
Stanley was about to take action but before he could do it, the door was broken open. Before he could react to it, someone had already rushed up to him and pushed him away. "What are you doing?"
It was Silvia, who was supposed to be at Audrey's place. She had somehow gotten the news and rushed over to the hospital. She glared at Andrew angrily and questioned, "Andrew, what are you trying to do?"
"Silvia, why, why are you here?" Andrew was so shocked to see Silvia that he immediately stood up from the sofa. His elegance disappeared in an instant, with a panic look on his face.
What were the people that Stanley had ordered to keep a close eye on Silvia doing? Were they idiots?
Silvia shielded Felix like a hen protecting its chick. "Andrew, you told me that you didn't hurt him, and I believed you, but what are you doing now? Tell me, what exactly are you doing?“
CHAPTER 1440
Silvia wanted to hear Andrew's explanation, but Andrew's expression was telling her that he could not give her one. "Andrew, he's already in such a bad condition, what exactly are you going to do to him?"
In fact, Silvia did not want to doubt him, and she had never thought of doing that. No matter what the others said in the past, she would still believe him wholeheartedly. However, the truth was right before her eyes now. How could she still believe that he was innocent?
What should she do if Andrew was really behind all these?
However, Silvia did not notice that Felix had secretly hidden the evidence that Andrew had handed to him under his blanket when she was questioning Andrew.
Andrew stepped forward, trying to calm Silvia down. However, before he could approach her, Silvia once again reprimanded, "Andrew, if you don't make things clear now, don't think about coming over. As long as I'm here, you can forget about hurting Felix."
At this moment, Felix, who was behind her, cleared his throat and said, “Silvia, things are not as what you saw. Young Master Carter didn't order his men to hurt me. It was that guy who acted on his own."
"I didn't ask you to explain it on behalf of him, so you can keep your mouth shut." Silvia turned her head to look at Felix. Silvia knew that with Andrew around, Stanley would never dare to do things on his own accord. Hence, Silvia was certain that it was Andrew who asked Stanley to do so.
Felix did not say anything.
Although he had shut his mouth, deep down, he was electrified. He was so happy that Silvia had flown in a rage because of him. Regardless of her relationship with Andrew, it was undoubtedly that Silvia still had him in her heart.
Stanley wanted to explain for Andrew, but before he could even utter a word, Andrew's terrifying stare stopped him. Stanley was so stunned by it that he could not help but take a few steps back. Even at that moment, he had not realized that he had already made a grave mistake.
"Silvia, let's talk about it outside." Andrew once again stepped forward. He ignored Silvia's defiance and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. He said, "I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."
Seeing that Silvia was about to give in, Felix spoke again, "Young Master Carter, I'm born and raised in Madison City, and I'll not leave this place no matter what. Please tell your men that they can do whatever they want to me."
The moment Silvia heard what Felix said, she immediately pushed Andrew away. "Andrew Carter!"
Felix continued, “Silvia, my feelings for you have never changed. I want you to leave him and return to my side. However, if you don't want to, I won't force you anymore."
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Suddenly, a series of clapping sounded, garnering everyone's attention. All of them looked back and saw a tall man standing at the door.
None of them knew when Nordan Lawson came. He looked at them as he said, "Felix Xavier, you really deserve an Oscar."
The moment Felix saw Nordan, who had just barged into the ward, he immediately became wary. "Who are you?"
"Does it matter though?" Nordan was still standing at the door. It seemed that he did not plan to come into the ward at all. He glimpsed at everyone and his gaze eventually landed on Felix. He said, "I think I don‘t need to recite what you've done to everyone here, do I?"
"You..." Silvia had only met this person once, but she remembered clearly that he was the man who Audrey could not forget. "Why are you here?"
Realizing that Silvia could recognize him, Nordan closed the door and walked into the room. "Mrs. Carter, I'm here to help you see clearly what kind of person your Felix really is."
Andrew's issue was not settled yet, but Nordan, this troublesome guy, showed up.
Andrew spoke in a harsh voice, “Nordan, you have no business here. Get out of here now."
Nordan shrugged. "Since I've made your wife come over, I'll not leave until she sees this guy‘s true colors. If you want to shut me up, then you'll have to seal my mouth yourself."
Just a while ago, Andrew was wondering how Stanley's subordinates could make such a mistake when they were all capable men. How did he not receive any notice that Silvia was coming? Now that Andrew knew that Nordan was behind this, he was no longer surprised.
"You, you guys know each other?" Seeing that Andrew and Nordan knew each other, Silvia took a look at Andrew, and then at Nordan. Wasn't this the man who Audrey loved? How did they know each other then?
Nordan said, “I'm not usually a nosy person, but your husband is just too stupid. I really can't stand seeing him suffer for your sake, so I have to stand up for him.’'
Silvia sized Nordan up. This man seemed arrogant, but he didn‘t seem like a liar. Hence, Silvia thought that she might be able to find out what Andrew was trying to hide from her from this guy. "What do you know? What are you trying to tell me?"
Andrew stepped forward and slapped Nordan's shoulder. “You'd better shut up."
Andrew had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he was much stronger than ordinary people. Now that he had intentionally hardened the slap, Norman was in so much pain that he quickly hid behind Silvia and said, "I mean, I'm here to help you, not to ruin things for you. Why are you hitting me?"
Silvia spread her arms to stop Andrew from approaching Nordan. She said firmly, "Andrew, since he knows some things that I don't know, and you're not willing to tell me, then let him tell me instead!"
Andrew could not lay a finger on Silvia, so he gave Nordan a warning look. However, Nordan pretended not to see it and said, "Miss Turner, I'm here to tell you that the person who secretly plotted your miscarriage is actually your dear Felix Xavier."
"What, what did you just say?" Silvia could not believe her ears. She reached out her hand and patted her face. "I must have misheard you. It must be. How could it be him? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
This strange man's words hit Felix's soft spot in an instant. He could no longer pretend to be calm. "Silvia, I don't even know this person. Please don't listen to his nonsense. I don't even know that you are pregnant, why would I be able to do that to you?"
Andrew reached out his hands and covered Silvia's ears. "Silvia, he's really talking nonsense. Don't believe what he said."
However, Silvia was not actually that stupid. No matter how shocked she was and how unwilling she was to believe it, she still had the ability to distinguish the truth from the false. Moreover, everyone's expression was telling her that Nordan was telling the truth.
She took Andrew's hand off her ears and turned to look at Felix. "Felix, I want you to tell me personally. Please tell whether what he just said is true."
Silvia bit her lips tightly as she stared at Felix. When she saw the glint in Felix's eyes, she immediately understood what was going on. However, she still wanted to give Felix a chance. She wanted him to say that he was not the one who made her lose her unborn child.
