Chapter 267: Sneaking In
Silvia didn’t feel like she had any serious injuries. She only had a red mark from the rope on her wrist, so after lying in the hospital for a day, she was ready to go back. But her family was worried and insisted that she stay in the hospital and not go anywhere.
Silvia felt her brothers were overreacting. There wasn’t really anything wrong with her, but they were treating her as if she had a terminal illness and was about to die. None of them agreed with her objection, so she had to agree to stay in the hospital.
Lying in the hospital was a bit boring, but the upside was that she didn’t have to deal with the company’s affairs. However, while lying there, she noticed that there were rumors circulating outside that weren’t quite right. Her phone kept showing fake news about her being seriously injured and unconscious. She wondered what the purpose of spreading such rumors was. Many people wanted to come and see if she was really unconscious. As Silvia played with her phone, waiting for someone to bring her food, she heard the door open and assumed it was her third brother coming to bring her food. So, without turning her head, she spoke.
“Brother, what’s the current situation with those rumors outside? What’s Big Brother planning to do? Did he set his sights on any collaborations?” “No, your three brothers think that Karina alone couldn’t have caused all this trouble. There must be someone helping her behind the scenes. They want to see who’s behind it.”
Hearing a strange voice, Silvia put down her phone and turned her head, locking eyes with Cyril.
The last time she saw Cyril was on the rooftop. After that, she hadn’t seen him again. Her brothers had been handling things, and although people had come to see her, neither Cyril nor Miles had entered her hospital room. So, how did this man get in today? Ads by PubFuture
“I sneaked in. Your brothers are very cautious about me, so it took quite an effort to get in. But don’t worry, I have no ulterior motives. I just wanted to see how you’re recovering. I’m not sure if the online news is true, so I need to see for myself to be completely reassured.”
Cyril immediately sensed what Silvia was thinking and explained. After he finished, he realized how well he knew Silvia. Silvia didn’t say anything, but just a glance from her was enough for Cyril to understand what she was thinking. So, from the beginning, they were a perfect match without needing to say much. Cyril couldn’t understand why he had been so confused before, thinking he had to distance himself from Silvia at all costs. Now he realized how ridiculous his actions were.
“If you don’t need anything, I’ll leave.”
Before, Silvia could afford to be impatient with Cyril, but now, after he had saved her, she couldn’t just show annoyance towards him anymore. Silvia’s expression was a bit awkward, and Cyril couldn’t help but laugh when he noticed it. But when Silvia heard Cyril laugh, she became a little displeased. What was so funny?
“Why are you laughing? Do you find it amusing to see me lying here alone? I didn’t expect you to be like this…”
Silvia hummed, unintentionally sounding a bit coquettish. Cyril paused for a moment, and Silvia also paused.
“When we used to hang out together, it didn’t seem as relaxed as today. Since you don’t have any major health issues, when are you planning to go back?”
“I don’t know. It depends on what my brothers think. If they want me to go back earlier, then I’ll go back earlier. If not, then I’ll just lie here. It doesn’t matter to me.”
Since her brothers wouldn’t harm Ads by PubFuture
her, lying here was fine. Cyril nodded slightly, not saying much, and just continued to sit silently beside Silvia. They remained silent, not speaking a word. They had rarely had such peaceful moments together before. Even though they had had a few, today they sat together without feeling awkward. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“As for Karina’s matter, I heard that your third brother sent her to a mental hospital. The hospital is owned by your third brother. He seem to have unique insights into people’s psychology. Maybe he’s planning something.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Silvia wasn’t very clear about these matters, including Karina’s final outcome, but she felt a bit sad when she heard Karina’s name.
“What about you? You know, Karina has liked you for so long. Haven’t you shown any reaction at all? Or do you think her liking you has caused you some trouble?”Content rights by NôvelDrama.Org.
Actually, Silvia wanted to ask Cyril what he thought of Karina and if he had ever felt a bit soft-hearted towards her, given that Karina had liked him for so long.
Cyril hesitated for a moment, then shook his head silently. He was mostly grateful to Karina, and there was no other feeling. So, what he was doing now might seem to heartless to others, but he didn’t think he was being heartless.

“Do you think I’m being too ruthless in doing this? But I don’t think what I’m doing is ruthless.”
Silvia felt a pang of heartache, but Cyril didn’t feel the same way. She didn’t know how to respond. Cyril seemed to think he wasn’t being ruthless, so maybe he wasn’t.
“My brother will be here soon to change my bandages. If you don’t need anything, you can leave. If my brother sees you here, he’ll probably argue with you. My third brother can be unreasonable sometimes.”
Actually, her three brothers were the most reasonable among them. But she didn’t want to continue talking to Cyril. She found that they had very little to say to each other and it was better not to say anything at all.
