Chapter 418

He carried Sylvia to the bedside table, where several snacks and a fragrant bowl of porridge had been laid out.

Sylvia glanced at the food without any expression on her face and said, “I have no appetite.”

Her throat was hoarse.

Odell grabbed her shoulder and coldly enunciated each word, “Eat the porridge immediately.”

The look in Sylvia's eyes was bland and spiritless. She did not seem to have any intention of eating. Odell cupped her face. “Sylvia, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?”

Sylvia pursed her lips and ignored him.

In a low voice, Odell growled, “Do you think that by going on a hunger strike, I will divorce you and send you to be reunited with Edmund in jail? If you don't eat today, you can give up on walking through this door!”

As the words fell from his mouth, he let go of her.

I

It was apparent that Sylvia had not swallowed.

The porridge flowed from the corners of her mouth to her chin and even her neck.

However, her eyes were still blank, and she looked as if she had lost her soul.

Odell instantly burned with rage. With a bang, he threw the bowl to the ground. The bowl shattered into pieces, and the porridge splashed all over the floor.

He cupped her face and fixed her with a sinister glare. “Don’t you want to meet Liam and Isabel?” Sylvia's emotionless eyes suddenly rolled.

Odell looked at her eyes and continued, “If you don't, you can die of starvation here. You will never meet them again in this lifetime!”

After that, he withdrew his hand.

Sylvia's body shook, but she steadied herself quickly and did not fall back on the bed.

Odell glanced at her, a little disdainful of her current disgraceful appearance, and walked out of the room.

Sylvia remained in a daze for a few seconds, then she grabbed the snacks that had been left on the table and devoured them.

Using her hand, she ate them in large mouthfuls. Shortly after, the plates were cleaned.

Her throat felt dry, but the moisture from the porridge that had spilled on the floor had already been absorbed by the carpet.

She hesitated for a moment and dragged herself to the bathroom with her broken leg. She turned on the tap, scooped up some water, and drank it.

Just as Sylvia was gulping down the water, Violet's shriek sounded outside the door. “Mrs. Carter, what are you doing? Please stop! This water is not clean. You can't drink it!”

The only thoughts that occupied Sylvia's brain now were of Liam and Isabel, so she did not hear Violet.

When she was done drinking, she stopped and looked at Violet who was standing just outside. Violet's eyes were red as if Sylvia had frightened her. “Mrs. Carter, you are still so young! Please don't torture yourself, okay?”
