Chapter 132


    The atmosphere in the restaurant was very strange, and Sylvia was also very uneasy. There was a


    look of panic and anxiety in her eyes as she focused her gaze on Quill''s face.


    Sylvia didn''t know if Quill would notice something strange, so she kept finding a topic to talk about


    to get their attention focused on herself.


    However, no matter how hard she tried, the two men on the table barely looked at her.


    "Achoo-"


    Kimberly''s nose felt itchy. She covered her nose instinctively and sneezed, throwing her head back.


    It wasn''t loud, but it attracted everyone''s attention.


    Including Quill''s and Maddox''s who were previously unfazed.


    "What''s wrong?" Maddox frowned and asked.


    Quill also looked Kimberly up and down.


    Sylvia was going to care for Kimberly, but when she saw Maddox and Quill looking at her, she


    stopped herself. It was normal for Maddox to care about Kimberly, but why was Quill, too?


    Seeing this, Sylvia bit her lower lip silently and clenched her fists under the table.


    Why? She tried so hard to attract their attention, yet no one looked at her. On the other hand,


    Kimberly only sneezed and all eyes were on her. Speaking of Quill, he was usually calm and could


    restrain himself. But why was he looking at her? He was even still staring at her now! Was Kimberly


    really that beautiful?


    Sylvia was already panicking, and she couldn''t calm down now. She twisted her hands so hard that


    she didn''t realize she had pinched her nails into her flesh.


    Kimberly''s fair face turned red immediately when she saw everyone looking at her. She covered her


    nose and shook her head, saying, "I''m fine. Please continue."


    Maddox frowned. Did she sneeze because she was cold? She had been sleeping on the floor since


    he moved her small bed away. At night, he would also grab her quilt away and hug her to sleep.


    She would always kick the quilt away in the middle of the night. Sometimes, when she woke up in


    the morning, she would want to stay far away from him.


    At this time, the waiter brought the coffee, which was meant to go to the center of the table. Sylvia,


    who was sitting on the outer edge of the table, saw this and had a sudden thought.


    "Oh, my God."


    "Ah!"


    Just as the waiter brought the coffee over, Sylvia abruptly stood up and knocked into the cup of hot


    coffee. The coffee overflowed from the cup and the hot liquid spilled onto her body.

    "It''s so hot! It''s so hot!" Sylvia''s eyes instantly brimmed with tears and her neck immediately turned


    red. She jumped up and started shouting. "I''m sorry!" The waiter widened his eyes in horror and


    apologized quickly, "Miss, are you okay? Follow me. I''ll put some ice cubes on you."


    As Sylvia was his sister, Quill finally reacted and stood up from his seat. He grabbed her hand and


    asked the waiter, "Do you have cold water?"


    "Yes, yes, yes. It''s at the back," the waiter hurriedly replied.


    Then, Quill took Sylvia to the back. He took a paper towel and soaked it in cold water, then rubbed it


    on the red skin on her neck. Sylvia was in so much pain that she burst into tears, apologizing, "I''m


    sorry, Quill. I was too reckless and ended up troubling you."


    Hearing this, Quill lowered his head and looked at her. Seeing the little girl''s pitiful look, he felt


    helpless and said in a softer voice, "Be careful next time."


    "Okay, Quill... will it leave scars on my skin?" Sylvia asked.


    Quill frowned. Sylvia took the opportunity to hold his hand and asked pitifully, "Will I look ugly if it


    leaves a scar on me? Will someone be willing to marry me by then?"


    After a long silence, Quill unbuttoned his suit and took off his coat. He put it on Sylvia''s body and


    said, "Let''s go to the hospital."


    Sylvia was a little excited when she heard this. Quill was going to send her to the hospital. She


    looked at him expectantly and said, "Thank you, Quill."


    After that, she followed Quill out. If he sent her to the hospital, he would not have to stay here with


    Kimberly. Everything would go back to normal. "Sylvia, are you okay?" Kimberly was very worried.


    However, she felt it was awkward to do anything since Sylvia''s brother was there. Hence, she could


    only wait for her toe out and make sure she was okay.


    When Sylvia saw Kimberly walking towards her, there was a trace of displeasure in her beautiful


    eyes. She had a feeling that Kimberly was trying to put on an act in front of Quill. It was truly


    disgusting!


    "I''m fine," Sylvia responded.


    She avoided Kimberly''s touch and looked ahead of her indifferently.


    Kimberly''s stretched- out hand stopped in midair. She looked at Sylvia with confusion.


    What had happened? Why was Sylvia...


    "Secretary Sharpio." Quill ordered in a cold voice, "Send Miss to the hospital and treat her wound


    properly. Don''t leave any scars behind."


    The joyous feeling in Sylvia was immediately devastated. Her smile vanished from her face in an


    instant, and herplexion paled as soon as she heard this sentence.


    "Quill, aren''t... aren''t you sending me to the hospital?" She asked.


    Secretary Sharpio stood up and exined calmly, "Miss Sylvia, President Hanover is very busy with


    his work. He has to attend an important meeting ten minutester. Let me apany you."


    Sylvia cried out, "Is that meeting more important than my injury? Quill..." Secretary Sharpio frowned


    slightly, afraid that Sylvia''s next words would make Quill unhappy. She quickly stepped forward and


    put her arm around Sylvia''s shoulder, saying, "Well, Miss Sylvia, I know that you are not feeling well.


    I''ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Your brother will see you when he is done with his work


    later at night. Let''s go."


    Soon, Secretary Sharpio took Sylvia out.


    Sylvia bit her lower lip with hatred. Before leaving, she looked back at Kimberly with tears in her


    eyes. She asked, "Kimberly, I''m a little scared. Can you go with me?"


    Kimberly was definitely worried about her. However, she was the one who had made the


    appointment with Quill that day. He wasn''t leaving yet, so how could she take her leave before him?


    Thinking of this, Kimberly nced at Maddox subconsciously.


    Maddox frowned when he saw the yearning in her eyes.


    "Is this woman an idiot?" He thought.


    However, Maddox couldn''t reject her. He said coldly, "Go ahead. It''s not frequent that I get to meet


    President Hanover. Don''t ruin the atmosphere here."


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.


    This guy had simultaneously insulted her and helped her.


    He had a sharp tongue and an arrogant attitude.


    But in the end, Kimberly still gave him a grateful look. She apologized to Quill, went up to help


    Sylvia and the three of them left.


    In Kimberly''s opinion, Quill wouldn''t me her if she went as Sylvia was his sister after all.


    Sylvia leaned gently on Kimberly and said, "Kimberly, it''s great to have you with me. Secretary


    Sharpio, why don''t you go back to my brother?"


    Upon hearing this, Secretary Sharpio paused for a moment before saying, "But President Hanover


    told


    __ _ n


    me...


    Sylvia interrupted, "Quill is worried that no one will apany me, but now I have Kimberly here.


    Besides... isn''t there an important meeting ten minutester? I''m sure he can''t do it without your


    help. You should go and help him."
