Chapter 1005: One Wave After Another
Chapter 1005: One Wave After Another
Sylvia stared at the photo on her phone screen, unable to snap out of her daze.
He had lost a lot of weight. His already sharp features looked even more severe, and his jawline was more defined. Thinking about his eyes made Sylvia's heart ache. Temporarily blind...
When they were still together, his health had deteriorated so much that even their marital life was affected.
After the antidote, she worried not only about Franklin's eyes but also about whether he could...
Sylvia sighed, feeling an unbearable pain in her heart.
She wanted to rush to his side, to personally check his condition, to...
She closed her eyes.
After a while, she replied to Jasper, "You should rest too. It's late."
She put down her phone but couldn't fall asleep.
Feeling restless, she picked up her phone again and logged into the game. She hadn't logged in for a long time, and as soon as she went online, several friend messages popped up. She ignored them all.
Just as she was about to start a game, an invitation to play together appeared. She accidentally accepted it with a tap of her finger.
A magnetic voice came through, "Sylvia, why are you still up so late?"
It was Isaac.
Sylvia was taken aback. "Isaac, why aren't you asleep?"
In the past, she often played duo matches with Isaac, and they quickly reached the top ten in the national server.
Later, she found the mobile game too easy and lost interest.
She thought Isaac, being so busy, wouldn't log in either.
Unexpectedly, she ran into him.
"Feeling a bit bored, wanted to play a game," Isaac's deep voice said. "Come on, it's been a while. Let's see how it feels."
So they started a ranked match.
Although she hadn't played in a while, Sylvia's skills were exceptional. She controlled recoil, aimed precisely, dodged snipers, and drove while shooting. Her gaming skills were so impressive that the public screen kept showing:
"WynterR double kill!"
"WynterR triple kill!"
"WynterR quadruple kill!"
"WynterR ten kills!"
Ten consecutive kills!
Isaac couldn't help but laugh softly. "You're still so good? Ten kills right off the bat."
Sylvia's fingers lightly tapped on the phone screen as she controlled her character. "This little game is too easy."
As she spoke, she got her eleventh kill!
This...
Isaac squinted his eyes in a trance, as if each of Sylvia's shots hit his heart, making him feel both uncomfortable and a bit longing. This feeling was like an addictive drug, mesmerizing him.
Especially listening to Sylvia's captivating voice, he felt an overwhelming desire inside him wanting to break free.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner desire, and continued playing with Sylvia.
He wasn't bad either.
Soon enough, he also got ten consecutive kills.
In the end, they won the game.
"Another round?" Isaac asked softly, his voice inexplicably hoarse.
"No, I'm tired," Sylvia said as she prepared to log off. "I'm going to sleep."
"Sylvia, where are you now?" Isaac stopped her. "In Urgford or Larro? I haven't seen you in a long time..."
Sylvia interrupted him. "Isaac, I'm in Aettosa now. I found my grandmother. It's a long story; I'll tell you when I get back."
"You've said you'd have dinner with me several times but never followed through. Sylvia... am I just waiting for you to come to me?" Isaac's voice carried a sigh.
Sylvia paused. "I won't miss it next time. Bye."
With that, she decisively logged off.
Isaac clearly had a child and was with Eudora now.
Why did his words carry a hint of ambiguity?
She was speechless.
The mess in Evie's family and the conflicts between the two sisters were well known to Isaac.
She never understood how a man like Isaac could be with Eudora.
Maybe he was temporarily blind!
Isaac looked at Sylvia's darkened avatar and put down his phone.
His hands began to clench... In his mind, he couldn't help but imagine Sylvia's alluring and soft figure beneath him. Finally... who knows how long it took!
He let out a low growl and released his pent-up frustration.
Looking at the mess between his hands, his mind was filled with those heart-pounding scenes he had imagined. Sylvia...
You've returned to the Hipps family, haven't you?
"Hehehe-" Isaac laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with obsession as he licked his lips in intoxication.
Just then, someone knocked on the
door. A servant's voice came
vel.ne
through, "Sir, Miss Anto called
saying the child has a fever and
wants you to come over."
Isaac's expression turned cold, and impatience flickered in his eyes. "Tell her I'm asleep."
"Yes," the servant replied and left.
Inwardly thinking that Miss Eudora was truly pitiful. Even after giving birth to Isaac's child, she couldn't marry him.
Isaac clearly didn't care much about the child either.
The servant shook her head and called Eudora back with the message.
Upon hearing it, Eudora angrily threw her phone.
She glared at the crying child, wishing she could throw him to the ground and be done with it.
"Cry, cry, cry! Crying all the time! What are you crying for?"
She cursed as she slapped the half-year-old child's bottom harshly. The harder she hit, the louder he cried!
It wasn't until the child's bottom was bruised and swollen that she vented all her anger and sat aside.
No matter how much the child cried or fussed, she ignored him.
She had thought that having this burden would win Isaac's favor and that she would become Mrs. Carr.
But what happened?
Isaac didn't care about the child at all and treated her even worse.
He only occasionally gave her money to get rid of her.
"Why is the child crying in the middle of the night?" Eudora's mother entered the room and saw the child crying on the bed. She picked him up.
Seeing his bruised and swollen bottom didn't surprise her; she seemed used to it.
"You shouldn't always lose your temper with the child. He's too young to understand anything."
She carried the child without any sign of affection or concern and handed him over to the nanny in the nanny's room.
"The child seems to have a fever. Give him some medicine."
The nanny took the child and looked at him sympathetically. What good is money?
This family didn't treat the child as their own; he was just a tool for Mrs. Anto to profit from.
His own mother beat and scolded him constantly; let alone Eudora's parents.
The nanny touched the child's forehead; it was burning hot.
"The child's fever is severe. Medicine won't help; we should go to the hospital."
"It's just a little fever; no need for a hospital trip! Such a hassle!" Eudora's mother said impatiently. "If you want to go, go yourself!"
The nanny checked the time; it was past midnight. Without transportation or means to get there herself, how could she go?
If they didn't care about their own bloodline, why should she? After all, it wasn't her child.
She found some fever medicine and fed it to the child before holding him to sleep.
In the morning, seeing that the
child's fever hadn't subsided, sheet
went to Eudora again. "Miss, the child still has a fever; we should go to the hospital."
Eudora irritably glared at her. "Get the driver to take you!"
She couldn't be bothered now; just seeing this child annoyed her.
If it weren't for him, she'd still be Miss Anto of the Anto family. Even if she couldn't marry Isaac, she could marry into another wealthy family.
But now?
Everyone knew she'd had an illegitimate child with Mr. Carr but couldn't marry into the Carr family.
At first, she tried to keep up appearances and explain herself in various ways.
But over time, even she couldn't keep up the pretense anymore.
Now she only regretted why she had been so stupid back then.
Why did she believe Isaac would marry her!
"It must be Evie; that bitch must have badmouthed me to Isaac!" Eudora clenched her fists in hatred. "Evie, that bitch!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She called Evie several times before Evie finally answered.
She immediately started cursing. "Evie, what do you want? Will you only be happy if I die?"
Evie had just woken up and was packing her luggage. She didn't want to answer at first but gave in after Eudora's relentless calls.
"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?"
Eudora continued cursing without restraint. "I tell you what; no matter how much you badmouth me to Isaac, he'll always have only me in his heart."
"Evie, you're just trash! No one wants you! Isaac will never love you! Give up!"
Evie: "..."
She rolled her eyes. "If you're upset, take it
I'm
on your Isaac. Don't
for me. I have a boyfrie Come
g to see him now. Goodbye!"
With that, she hung up and blocked Eudora's number.
Eudora tried calling again but couldn't get through.
She threw her phone on the ground and stomped on it until it shattered into pieces before feeling slightly better.
The nanny packed up the child's essentials and prepared to leave for the hospital when she saw this scene.
She twitched her mouth; Eudora had become a madwoman who looked terrifying now.
Even Eudora's parents were getting fed up with her behavior.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Teun had moved out directly; Eudora's temper had become erratic and violent.
Who knew how many phones she'd destroyed by now?
Rich people could be willful! To them, phones were probably just bricks!
Evie hung up and dragged her suitcase straight to the airport.
She was heading to Aettosa to meet Jasper.
