Chapter 268: Soft-hearted
Cyril didn’t catch the implication behind Silvia’s words and didn’t say much more. After nodding, he left.
Not long after Cyril left, the door of the room was pushed open again, much to Silvia’s surprise. She thought it was Cyril again, but to her surprise, it was Miranda and Duncan.
Obviously, Duncan wanted to visit Silvia but didn’t want to come alone, fearing Silvia would be unhappy. So, this time he brought Miranda along. Seeing both of them here made Silvia very happy, and she smiled at them.
“I’ve been in the hospital for so long, and neither of you came to see me. Why did you suddenly decide to come today? It’s not like you two.” Silvia looked perfectly healthy, with no issues at all.
She wondered what rumors were spreading outside, making it seem like she was on death’s door, about to meet God.
“We’re usually very busy with work. It’s not easy to find time to come and see you. But when we heard those rumors about you being on your deathbed, we got really worried and decided to come check on you. Seeing that you’re fine now, we can report back to them. They’re also very worried about you, but work has been keeping us occupied.” Ads by PubFuture
After Miranda sat down, she picked up a piece of fruit and started eating without offering any to Silvia. Silvia remained calm and used to Miranda taking her own things.
“I don’t know what our brothers are thinking, but it doesn’t matter. If it’s their arrangement, then I won’t say anything. They’re all quite shrewd, so there’s no need for us to worry.”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense when Duncan mentioned Cyril. Duncan’s eyes flashed with a hint of paranoia. It was clear to everyone that he liked Silvia, and his words seemed somewhat accusatory.
Silvia felt conflicted. It seemed that whenever something involved Cyril, her brothers would always think she had feelings for him, no matter how much she denied it or how much she distanced herself from him. This contradiction made Silvia uneasy.
“You don’t need to be so nervous. I’m not stupid enough to let things go that far. I know what to do and what not to do.”
“Your mind has never been clear, and we knew that before. Anyway as long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters. Do you want to come out with us tonight? You don’t have anything else to do.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
After lying in the hospital for several days, Silvia was indeed a bit tired. It might be nice to go out with them. So, she nodded, planning to inform her brothers later and then go out. Silvia’s prompt acceptance made Duncan and Miranda happy

Feeling the pain from Miranda’s stomp, Duncan glared at her, but their reactions made Silvia pretend not to notice. Sometimes, they really seemed like a pair of clowns.
…
That night, they gathered again.
The last time Silvia had an accident, they were all extremely worried. They had wanted to visit Silvia, but her three brothers sternly refused, saying Silvia was severely injured and not suitable for visitors. Now, looking back, they realized how unnecessary their worry had been. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Karina really got herself into trouble this time. I heard your third brother has been giving her a hard time lately.”
Silvia felt like she had been isolated from the world during her time in the hospital. She didn’t know about any of these things until she heard them from her friends.
As for Karina, she was in a pitiful situation. She had fallen for someone she shouldn’t have, despite knowing that Cyril’s heart belonged only to Silvia. “But that’s not important. What’s shocking is that Big Brother has initiated a contract with Cyril. You don’t know how much money he’s practically handing to Cyril.”
Seeing her friend’s shocked expression, Silvia couldn’t help but laugh.
“My big brother owed him a favor, so he’s giving Cyril two contracts to repay it. There’s no need to make such a fuss about it.”
So that was the reason. They had thought her big brother had been traumatized or something.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
They just came to check on Silvia’s condition. Seeing that she was fine, they weren’t worried anymore and left after a short while, each going back home.
