Chapter 22


    Tammy made a mistake, but Sylvia was beaten up and asked to kneel in the snow for nearly half of a


    night. That was not the way a loving father should behave.


    Thinking of this, Sylvia sneered.


    It was toote to pretend to be a loving father!


    "Dad, just cut to the chase," Sylvia said in an impatient tone. She was really busy, so she didn''t have


    time to waste.


    Otto rubbed his hands and looked at Kira, but Kira had her head down and avoided looking at him.


    Otto was a little angry.


    Kira had promised to help him, but she was silent now. Otto was unwilling to say it himself.


    He red at Sk.


    Sk felt wronged. She was anxious as well, but she couldn''t do anything. She nearly wanted to kill


    Kira!


    Seeing this, Sylvia said nonchntly, "If you don''t say anything, then I''ll leave. I don''t find anything


    serious with Grandma''s body."


    "Wait, hang on!" Otto hurriedly stood up and stopped Sylvia. He said in an ingratiating tone, "Sibbie,


    you know mypany has recently been in trouble. Typically, we have to advance wages to workers in


    the early stages of a project. And the owners often have a few arrears on the payment at the end."


    "Get to the point." Sylvia got even more impatient.


    "More recently, I undertook a project of decorating Wilson Group''s new hotel. The Wilson family is very


    powerful, so it took me a lot to win the bid. Unfortunately, a worker fell off the scaffolding when working.


    Wilson Group now wants to terminate its cooperation with me, and even asks me to pay double


    damages for breach of contract. What is worse, the worker''s family are unreasonable. They make a


    scene every day at the gate of thepany."


    Otto begged, "Sibbie, I know you are a renowned doctor. It''s said that the old Wilson is seriously ill, so


    can you go and see him? If you cure the old Wilson, Mr. Wilson may not terminate the cooperation."


    Sylvia finally figured out the whole story. However, characteristically, Otto might hide something from


    her.


    Otto didn''t say a word about the worker.


    Sylvia had a hunch that things were not quite that simple. "How is the worker now? Does he have


    minor injuries or major ones?"


    "He is in the ICU now! It''s very costly. I''ve spent 100 thousand on this." Otto was irritated when talking


    about this. If the worker hadn''t been so clumsy, he would not have had such a problem.


    Sylvia raised her eyebrows, with a hint of mockery shing in her eyes.


    100 thousand could keep the worker in ICU for only a week.


    "How long has this been going on?"


    "It''s been a week." Otto cautiously looked at Sylvia, who was very obedient at her young age but


    disobedient now. However, considering Sylvia''s status, Otto couldn''t force her to do anything.


    If it weren''t for an excuse that Kira didn''t feel well, Sylvia wouldn''t havee. She thought nothing of


    what Otto said now.


    He was very angry at Sylvia, but he didn''t dare to throw a tantrum.


    Sylvia narrowed her eyes, chuckling. "It took a week to tell me."


    "It''s because your father didn''t want to bother you. We asked many people for help but in vain. Your


    father does not dare to call you until your grandma is ill," Sk added in a sarcastic tone.


    She thought, ''Sylvia, how dare you! Tammy also works at Lilypad General Hospital, but she can only


    work as a general surgeon.


    By contrast, you are popr with so many top wealthy people. How aggravating!


    It''s said that you perform only one surgery each month!


    You''d better not be so arrogant. I know you must be the mistress of someone powerful.


    Sooner orter, you will make a mistake and get notorious!''


    "Okay, I got it." Sylvia got up, took Kira''s hand, and said, "Grandma, can you see me off?"


    Otto did not dare to follow them out, saying, "Why not, Mom? Just do it with Sylvia. I really envy your


    rtionship"


    Kira took Sylvia''s hand and stood up and got out of the vi. They started a walk in the neighborhood.


    Sylvia came here in a hurry today, so she didn''t have any cash with her. It was inconvenient for Kira to


    withdraw money alone. Kira had no pension and was not well-off, so Sylvia brought Kira some money


    every time she came.


    Sylvia thought for a moment and sent Mark a message on Facebook, "I''m at Andrews Residence now.


    You have ten minutes to bring 20 thousand in cash for me."


    "What''s up, Miss Andrews?" Mark was puzzled.


    "Just do it. I need it right now."


    Reading this, Mark rushed off to do it.


    Sylvia put the phone in her handbag and took Kira to sit on a bench. "Grandma, just tell me the truth.


    Did Sk give you a hard time?"


    Kira''s eyes shed. Then she smiled and said, "She''s my daughter-inw, so she is kind to me."


    Kira changed the topic and said, "Sibbie, how are you doing now? You haven''t been back for a long


    time. I''m very worried about you. It must be hard for you to lead a life alone."


    As Kira said this, her eyes turned red, "I''m sorry for having you move out at a young age. I couldn''t


    even do anything to help you at that time."


    Kira was probably the only one who stayed true to Sylvia and always worried about her.


    Kira grew up in a small countryside and had never gone to school. Otto''s father died early, so Kira


    brought Otto up alone. Fortunately, Otto worked very hard and made it to college.


    Later, Otto met Sylvia''s mother.


    Sylvia had a vague memory that her mother had a good rtionship with Kira.


    Nevertheless, Sk was totally different from what he used to be.


    She was a real troublemaker.


    Sylvia took Kira''s hand. "Grandma, I''m fine. You don''t have to worry about me. You can call me


    whatever happens or when you miss me. I was too busy toe back thest few days. Don''t worry,


    no one dares to bully me."


    At that moment, Mark arrived panting. He handed Sylvia a small ck bag.


    "Here you are, Miss Andrews."


    Sylvia took it and put it in Kira''s hand. "Grandma, this is for you. You can buy anything you want with it.

    I''ll give you more when you run out of it."


    "Sibbie, there is still money in my purse!" Kira quickly refused, knowing it was not easy to earn money.


    "I''m rich now, so it''s not a big deal for me. Just take it, Grandma. Put it away quickly, or Sk will see


    it." Sylvia stuffed the ck bag into Kira''s pocket without a second thought.


    Kira had to give up, knowing Sylvia was showing concern for her. If she didn''t take it, Sylvia would be


    worried.


    Kira looked at Mark with a smile. "You are quite a nice young man."


    "Thank you, Mrs. Andrews." Mark shyly rubbed the back of his head.
