Chapter 155: A Sorry Sight
“You okay? Honestly, I didn’t want to tell you about this, but now, this news is everywhere. If I didn’t tell you, you’d find out anyway. So, what are you thinking now?”
Juliet was seriously worried. Initially, she didn’t want to burden Sylvia with this news, but knowing Sylvia would find out eventually, she figured it was better to tell her and be by
her side.
Sylvia did have a moment of feeling temble, her expression sour, but she quickly regained her composure.
She’d known for awhile that there was something different about Cyril and Karina’s relationship. Now, hearing about Karina’s pregnancy, it wasn’t as hard to accept as she thought.
just felt like she’d wasted all these years on genuine feelings.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve known for a while that Cyril and Karina were more than just friends. I just didn’t expect Cyril to be two–faced about it. He’s been chasing after me this whole time, and I thought.. never mind. Men are like that, and Karina being pregnant, isn’t that a good thing? They were forced apart before, now they re together. It’s fine”
“That’s one way to put it, but I’m worried you might have a hard time with it. You know how annoying Karina can be, and she’s been causing trouble for you for years. Cyrill, too. He can’t seem to make up his mind. How about this? I’ll call your brother, let’s give Cyril a piece of our minds. How dare he mistreat you?”
“Enough. Don’t bother scolding him. The more we scold him, the more he’ll think I still care about him, I don’t have any feelings for him anymore, so let him do what he wants. Let’s just leave it at that. As for Karina, if she contacts me, I’ll wish them both well. If not, then so be it.”
Sybiachuckled. Despite feeling a bit angry, seeing Juliet angrier somehow eased her. Having a friend by her side made all the difference.
Syhis hugged Juliet, comforting her. “I should be the one more upset about this, but why do you seem angrier? Come on, don’t dwell on it too much.”
Juliet thought of something else. She looked at Sylvia and asked, “How did you know Karina would message you? She just sent an email saying being with Cyril was an accident and not to be mad. But it’s all so obvious. If you can’t see through that, I’d be amazed.”
Syhia burst out laughing. She knew Karina’s tactics too well. Over the years, Karina had used every trick to keep Cyril hooked. This time was no different “Alright, since she’s come to flaunt it, let’s just reply with best wishes for them both and be done with it. We don’t need to stay in touch. Isn’t that better?” “Sigh, okay, okay. I was thinking of giving Cyril a piece of my mind, but if that’s how you feel, fine. But I’m still mad for you. They really crossed the line this time.”
“It’s not the first time she’s crossed the line. And I won’t tolerate it like used to. Whatever they do is their business, but if they bring it to my doorstep, I won’t let them off easy. Anyway, our work for today is almost done. How about treat you to dinner? Let’s relax and forget about them.”
Seeing Juliet so angry made Syhia unable to bear it.
Joliet looked at Sylvia helplessly. “No, I’m just venting for you. Why do you always think I’m the one angry?
“Are you not angry? Sylvia asked back. Jullet couldn’t deny it. She was indeed very, very angry,
In the afternoon, the two openly skipped work to go shopping. They spent the whole day outside, planning to hit the bar at night.
However, Syhia had to go back suddenly for something, so they had to cancel that plan.
Sylvia owned a property nearby. As she returned, she noticed a severely disheveled man sitting by the bushes.
Or rather, he seemed to have passed out, leaning against the flowerbed, his face dirty, clothes tom, as if he’d been injured.
Sylvia initially didn’t want to get involved, but as she took a few steps, she caught a whiff of blood. She couldn’t just let someone die like that. With a sigh, she approached the man and called for help.
“Hey, are you okay? Wake up!”
She gently shook the man, but he remained unconscious, Blood still tricked from his body. In the dim light, Syhta didn’t dare to examine his wounds, fearing she might worsen them inadvertently.
Luckily, after about twenty minutes, an ambulance arrived. The paramedics loaded the man onto the vehicle, and Sylvia followed. After all, she had discovered him and made the call. She felt responsible.
At the hospital, doctors tended to the man’s wounds. They weren’t deep, but there were many. Hence, the strong smell of blood.
“The patient doesn’t have any major issues, but are you his family? If so, it’s better to admit him. Oh, and while examining him, we found a tumor in his body.”
Hearing this, Sylvia felt a headache coming on. She’d only helped a stranger on a whim, but now it seemed his situation was far more dire
“Um, I’m not his family. I just found him by the roadside. I’ll contact the police to find his relatives.”
The doctor looked puzzled, assuming Sylvia was the man’s wife, But since she wasn’t, it wasn’t her concem. Plus, the tumor was still a mystery.
