Silvia subconsciously clenched her hands beneath the blanket. She lowered her head and said, “You shouldn’t have returned.”
Neil sneered. “You’re right. Returning was a mistake. I shouldn’t have stuck my nose in and ended up stirring trouble for myself!”
He then stormed out and slammed the door.
Silvia pursed her lips. She was caught in a dilemma. The nicer Neil was to her, the harder it was to distance herself from him. One day, she would end up getting back together with him.
She did not dwell on these emotions for long and quickly composed herself. She rose from the bed to prepare for discharge.
She opened the room door and found Neil standing outside with a cold expression.
She stared in surprise.
“Why are you—”
Before she could finish speaking, Neil carried her in his arms and walked out of the hospital.
Her face was pressed against his chest. His powerful heartbeat made her blush, and her heart raced.
“Mr. Remus, please put me down. I can walk by myself.”
“If you don’t want me to throw you to the floor, just shut up!”
He sounded angry, and his jaw was clenched. He was clearly still upset about what happened earlier. However, he was surprisingly gentle when carrying her.
Silvia looked down and fought the surfacing joy. She could not afford to make the same mistake again.
After placing Silvia in the car, Neil took her to his current residence—Royal Vista.
Seeing the unfamiliar mansion, Silvia could not help but frown.
“Mr. Remus, just take me back to Elm Bay.”
Neil sneered. “Disappointed you didn’t die and hoping for another round with the bombs?”
Silvia was at a loss for words.
Noticing Silvia’s displeasure, Curtis hurriedly explained, “Miss Pond, some people are lurking around Elm Bay’s entrance and waiting for you. It’s dangerous to go back there. Before this matter is dealt with, you should stay at Mr. Remus’s place.”
Silvia turned to Curtis. “Mr. Harrell, have you found who put the bomb in Remus Mansion?”
[I was just about to inform you. The maintenance worker involved in the explosion had connections with Scorpion’s men.]
Silvia’s gaze turned cold.
Scorpion would not be so direct in killing her. This was likely a warning.
[Can you find out where he is?]
[He is well-hidden. He has likely obtained a legal identity and is close by. I will try my best to check. You should guard yourself closely.]
[Okay.]
After putting down her phone, Silvia found Neil approaching with a box of medicine and a glass of water. “Take the medicine. I’ve some work to take care of. Rest when you’re tired. The housekeeper will prepare some food. You can have it after you wake up.”
“Okay.”
Silvia took the water and medicine from Neil. After seeing her take the medicine, he silently left the bedroom.
When he reached the door, Silvia’s voice came from behind.
