Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 377

Chapter 377

Sylvia immediately said, “Odell, I really didn’t push grandmother—” “Don’t make me repeat myself!” He
raised his voice to a frightening level. Sylvia’s eyes shifted in fear. She pursed her lips and
begrudgingly left the man alone. She did not go far though, she simply turned to the stairs and sat
down in a corner of it. It would be easier for her to keep an eye on the ER ward while also keeping out
of Odell’s sight.

A while later, a series of hurried footsteps came from the lower end of the stairs.

It was Sebastian the butler, and he had several other people together with him. They were all Madam
Carter’s relatives from her mother’s side. The eldest one among them was Madam Carter’s cousin
sister, Ramona, who was also the closest to Madam Carter.

She glanced at Sylvia as she passed by but did not say anything. She then went up to Odell and
nervously asked, “Odell, how did Ophelia fall off the hill?! Her legs have never been very strong, so
why was she up there climbing and all?” Odell pursed his lips in silence.

Ramona might be anxious and worried but she was able to spot the grim look on Odell’s face and
chose to stay quiet for the moment.

She then went back to Sylvia.

She had heard that Sylvia and Odell were married again, and she also met Sylvia twice when she
visited her cousin the other day.

She asked Sylvia, “Sylvia, I heard that Ophelia went to the resort with you. What happened?”

Sylvia answered honestly, “Grand-aunt Ramona, I don’t know what happened either. I was at the top of
the hill enjoying the scenery. Grandmother might have come up because she wanted to talk to me, but I



didn’t know she was coming. Then, I heard her screaming and the next thing I knew, she had fallen off
the hill.”

Ramona was furious. “Why would she be climbing up a hill and falling down for no reason? You were
there, how could you not know about this? Are you trying to lie to me just because you think I’m old?”

Sylvia furrowed her brows. She wanted to know why Madam Carter had fallen down the hill as well, but
she did not have any clues or answers.

If she were to tell Ramona that she had been chatting with Edmund and had neglected Madam Carter’s
presence, it would only make things worse. Hence, she kept her silence.

Ramona had a rather poor impression of Sylvia. She had visited Carter Residence twice and claimed
she was there for Madam Carter, but she had, in fact, been there to ask Sylvia for some paintings so
that she could boast about them in front of her friends.

Sylvia, however, did not understand Ramona’s intention. Not only had she not given Ramona any
paintings, she had not even shown the lady any of her work.

Now that Sylvia had chosen silence over giving her an explanation, it fueled Ramona’s anger further.

She lifted her arm to slap Sylvia’s face.

Slap!

Sylvia was defenseless against the slap, which left her left cheek burning after the slap.

Ramona even screamed at her after the slap, “I’m talking to you, are you a mute?”

Sylvia pursed her lips coldly.



Just as Ramona was about to give her another slap, a towering figure came to her side. He said to
Ramona, “Grand-Aunt Ramona, this is a hospital, please be quiet.”

Ramona staggered backwards and calmed herself down. She then sighed and explained,” Odell, I
didn’t really want to hit her, I’m just worried about your grandmother.”

“I understand. I’ll find out what really happened, you don’t need to worry,” he said.

He looked expressionless and his voice sounded flat but it was filled with pressure and threats.

Ramona zipped her mouth closed and went over to the ER’s entrance.

Odell also left and returned to the waiting spot in front of the door. He did not even spare a glance at
Sylvia.

Sylvia remained in the corner and clenched her fists tightly as complicated thoughts flooded her mind.

Some time later, the ER door finally opened up.

Sebastian, Ramona and the others went up to the doctor immediately.

Sylvia only watched from afar without joining the others. She heard the doctor say, “Master Carter, I’m
sorry. We’ve done everything we could. Madam Carter might be alive for now but she received a heavy
blow on her head. Given her age, her body does not recover as fast as people who are much younger,
so we are not sure if she’ll be able to wake up and recover.”
