Master Odell’s Secret Ex-Wife Chapter 378

Chapter 378

Ramona asked, “Are you saying Ophelia is in a coma?” The doctor said with a sigh, “I’m afraid so.”

After the doctor left, Madam Carter was discharged from the ER. Ramone had basically grown up
together with Madam Carter, so seeing her closest family member laying on the sickbed unconscious,
she broke down in tears beside her.

“Ophelia, how did you fall down the hill? You’re not young anymore, why did you go climbing? What got
into you? Are you going to lay unconscious until the end?” Odell stood beside his grand-aunt with
tightly furrowed brows. His usual straight back seemed a little hunched.

He seemed to have fallen into a slump and was shrouded with a gloomy presence.

The unconscious old lady on the sickbed was his dearest family member. He was even closer to her
than to his biological father.

His mother had passed away when he was young and his father had left him alone after marrying his
stepmother. Thus, it was his grandmother who had basically raised him.

Now, his dearest and closest family member was lying unconscious before him and he could not do
anything about it.

He narrowed his eyes and shot a frosty glare at Sylvia.

Sylvia’s legs turned weak. She bit her lips tightly as she tried to go up closer to have a look at Madam
Carter. However, before she could get any closer, Ramona pushed her away.

Ramona was strong and her agitated push sent Sylvia to the ground.



Sylvia fell to the ground wretchedly.

Tears rolled down Ramona’s cheeks as she screamed at Sylvia, “You! It’s all your fault! Why did you go
climbing? Didn’t you know that Ophelia’s legs are weak?! If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t have fallen
down the hill and knocked her head! Were you trying to kill her?!”

Sylvia looked down in silence. Her eyes started to get teary.

She might not be the culprit but if she had not been chatting with Edmund, or if she answered Madam
Carter’s call and gone to her right away, Madam Carter would not have fallen.

She sat on the ground and allowed Ramona to vent her anger on her.

Only when the nurses pushed the sickbed away did Ramona stop scolding her and went after her
dearest cousin,

Sylvia had wanted to follow but when she tried to get on her feet, her eyes met a pair of deep eyes
peering down at her.

It was Odell.

“Odell, 1-”

Before she could finish, Odell said to the butler, “Sebastian, keep an eye on her. Don’t let her leave.”

Sebastian failed to grasp the meaning of his order but due to the seriousness of the matter and the
heavy look on Odell’s face, he nodded and hummed in reply.

Odell then followed the nurses away.

His towering figure soon disappeared beyond the corridor.



Sylvia feebly got to her feet. A while later, several bodyguards came over and surrounded her. They
had obviously been sent here by Odell.

The suffocating feeling in her chest grew stronger and robbed her of her strength, causing her to fall to
the ground again. Sebastian could not help but inquire, “Madam, were you involved in Madam Carter’s
accident?”

With a sardonic smile on Sylvia’s face, she looked at him and replied, “Would you believe me if I say
no?”

Sebastian pursed his lips and walked to the side. Sylvia also tightened her lips. She felt bad about what
happened. The deep gaze that Odell had shot her before he left was like an arrow that perforated her
heart. Thinking about it caused more pain in her chest.

She felt as if she had gone back a few years in time, when Tara accused her and framed her for things
she had not done. Back then, no matter what she had said, no one had believed her either.

Would history repeat itself again? Seconds turned into minutes. Things were tense in the quiet corridor.
Moments later, Sylvia remembered that the kids and Aunt Tonya were still at the resort, so she pulled
her phone out and called Aunt Tonya.

The call got through after a few dial tones but it was Cliff’s voice that answered instead of Aunt Tonya.

“Madam, Aunt Tonya, Isabel and Liam are safe and sound at home. You don’t have to worry.”
