Chapter 243
Subconsciously, Sylvia stared at his lovely face.
His perfect features made him look attractive from every angle. Although he looked stern and sullen
now, her heart pounded.
Sylvia calmed down. "You..."
As soon as she uttered a word, Franklin bowed his head to kiss her.
Staring at her under the dim yellowish light, he failed to repress his passion for her.
Suddenly, he hugged her tightly, sniffing her unique, refreshed fragrance.
Gaping at his gorgeous face in such a short distance, Sylvia pressed his chest and sighed on his lips,
"Stop it, Franklin."
"Tell me, sweetie. What on earth have you hidden from you?"
Sylvia reminded him of a beautiful nymph under the moonlight.
Her long eyelashes flapped slightly like butterfly wings. Their shadow covered her eyes, so Franklin
couldn't read her mind.
He let go of her, gazing at her intensely without blinking.
"Nothing, Franklin." Sylvia struggled to distance herself from him.
Seeing her try her best to repress herself, Franklin chuckled, "Why do you have to do this, sweetie?"
Sylvia bit her lip tightly.
Franklin took her into the elevator and went up to the 23rd floor of Royal Galaxy Restaurant, where
Jasper had already reserved a suite for them.
Franklin grabbed her struggling hands. "Aren't you going to tell me the truth?"
He seemed to interrogate her.
Looking into her crystal-clear eyes, he complained huskily in reluctance, "Sweetie, why don't you want
to tell me? It's been so many years. Why do you always hide it from me?"
Anger filled in her dewy eyes. "I don't need to report everything to you, Franklin."
However, an unexpected thing happened when Sylvia was off guard.
Closing her eyes, she hugged him tightly by instinct, unwilling to let go of him. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
When Franklin woke up, it was already the next morning.
He lifted the quit, got off the bed, and entered the bathroom, but Sylvia wasn't there.
Realizing she had gone, Franklin looked stern.
He cursed icily, "Damn it!"
He had planned to interrogate her, but he was too obsessed with their sex in the end.
Therefore, Sylvia's secret still hadn't been exposed.
Meanwhile, Sylvia had arrived at the hospital.
Rubbing her sore back, she was having a meeting with the doctors and nurses in her department. "You
all should know every detail of Mr. Wilson's status. Let's get ready for his surgery."
"Yes, Dr. Sylvia."
"Dr. Sylvia, do you not feel well?" the head of the surgical department glanced at her with concern.
"I'm fine. Thanks." Sylvia replied, "Please don't worry."
Then she left the meeting room while holding the medical record.
At the door of her office, a man wearing a black suit looked stern, followed by an enchanting woman in
her thirties.
They were Clark and Winter.
Winter looked at Sylvia in a daze. Sylvia had a slender waist and well-toned bottom. Although she put
on a pair of flat white shoes with a loose white gown for doctors, her perfect figure couldn't be hidden
completely.
Besides, she looked gentle with delicate features. Her eyes were sparkling as brightly as gems. She
emanated an aloof aura.
Her eyebrows were slightly raised, different from the womanish thin and curved ones or the popular flat
ones.
The brows made her unique.
This was the first time when Winter saw Sylvia in a white gown.
Although Sylvia didn't put on heavy makeup, she looked charming in the simple white gown.
Standing in front, Sylvia greeted them, "Morning, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson."
"When will my grandfather's surgery start?" Clark asked indifferently as if he was asking about a
stranger's status.
Winter secretly studied Clark and found his mood didn't change when facing Sylvia.
She didn't know why she had done so, but she suddenly wondered if Clark would be attracted by
Sylvia.
The next second, she denied it. Clark hated Sylvia to the core, as she meant a threat to him. Sylvia had
ruined one of Wilson Group's ways to earn money and let Clark suffer a significant loss. She didn't
think Clark would have a crush on her.
Winter breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
"It'll start at nine o'clock sharp," Sylvia replied.
Then she pulled out a piece of paper from the folder in her hand. "Those are the necessities after the
operation, including things needed daily. Please get all of them ready."
Usually, a nurse would remind the patient's family about those things.
However, Sylvia happened to have a copy, so she passed it to Clark on the way.
Winter hurriedly thanked her.
"I'm still busy. Please suit yourselves." Sylvia entered her office without any intention of letting them in.
Clark gazed at the closed door darkly. Then he strode away.
Winter followed suit. Suddenly, she felt sick. Covering her mouth, she bypassed Clark and trotted
toward the ladies' room at the end of the corridor.
Clark was taken aback, something flashing through his eyes.
Then he followed her.
In the ladies' room, Winter retched into the sink.
Clark followed her in. Seeing her look so suffered, he patted her on the back and gazed at her, "What
happened to you? Why are you vomiting suddenly?"
Winter's heart tightened. She bowed her head and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Pinching the tissue, she tried hard to calm down and hold her nerves. Then she looked up at him, "My
stomach is turning."
Clark looked at her indifferently. "Aunt Winter, if you are sick, you should get a checkup. Remember this
is a hospital?"
Winter paled, her throat dry and bitter. "Not necessary. I'll get better after taking some pills."
"You'd better not challenge my patience, Winter Bennett." Clark suddenly trapped her between his
chest and the sink, scowling at her. "Why do you look so pale? Did you do anything wrong behind my
back?"
Under his terrifying gaze, Winter forced a smile, her hair standing on end. "How could it be possible?
After you've reviewed everything in the company, I'll do it. If I made any mistake, you would fire me long
ago."
Winter was afraid of him. She feared him.
Clark could tell she was trembling.
Withdrawing his arm, he muttered on her lips, "Are you afraid of me, Aunt Winter?"
"I... I'm not." Winter kept a bright smile, but her heart was in her mouth.
If Clark found she had been pregnant, she would end up miserably.
"Are you pregnant?" Clark's cold gaze fell on her flat belly.
Winter froze as if she had been struck by lightning.
Raising her head stiffly, she looked at Clark and denied it affirmatively, "Nah! How could I get
pregnant?"
Clark looked handsome in the black suit, but his features were covered with sternness.
"Aunt Winter, you'd better not try to hide anything from me. You know my means well."
Winter shivered, lowering her head to dodge his gaze.
"What are you talking about? How could I hide anything from you?"
Clark pinched her chin violently, "You'd better not."
Covering the panic, Winter advised, "Mylo's surgery will start soon. Let's go to the operating room.
Hurry."
...
Mylo had multiple fractures all over his body, so the surgery lasted five hours.
All the assistant surgeons, doctors, and nurses stood next to the operation table without a rest.
When Sylvia announced the surgery had ended, they all collapsed on the ground. "Gee! So
exhausted!"
"Finally! What happened to this old man? His bones cracked into countless pieces. No wonder Mr.
Wilson needed to look for famous doctors to save him."
