A weird silence filled the place for a few seconds before Idris hurriedly said, “Please have a seat, Mr. Remus.”
After that, he asked Mindy to get him some tea.
Mindy was enraged. She did not expect Silvia to seduce Neil after their divorce. She realized why Ada rarely talked about Neil anymore. It was all because of Silvia.
Her hand trembled with anger. As she looked down at the boiling tea, a wicked idea suddenly occurred to her.
If Silvia’s face was ruined, Neil would lose interest and certainly get back together with Ada.
Silvia did not notice the imminent danger. She chatted with Bethany and learned that she would be discharged in a few days. With that, Silvia said nothing more.
Besides, she was not close to Bethany since they would only meet during the holidays. She never tried to please Bethany since she knew that the latter disliked her like the others.
Suddenly, everyone heard a panic-stricken voice.
“Watch out!”
She turned around and saw Mindy losing her balance. At the same time, the cup in Mindy’s hand fell toward Silvia.
The consequences would be unimaginable if the boiling water landed on her face.
Silvia was about to dodge it, but Neil grabbed her wrist and abruptly pulled her to the side.
As a result, the water splashed on his arm instead.
After she steadied herself, Silvia quickly pulled his arm over and found it covered in blisters.
Blood drained from Mindy’s face because she never expected to accidentally burn Neil.
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it… I slipped and fell…”
Idris immediately slapped her and scolded her, “Useless! You can’t even make tea properly!”
Although Mindy was furious, she dared not say anything as guilt was written all over her face.
Ignoring them, Silvia pulled Neil up and said, “Let’s get a doctor to tend to your wound.”
“No, she hurt you. I wouldn’t let it go even if you refused to do anything about it.”
When Neil looked down and noticed how aloof she was, he suddenly felt sorry for her. Mindy must have let her down many times for her to be so cold.
“Just leave it to me. Although the Pond Family isn’t nice to you, others might attack you blindly if you go against the Pond Family.”
Silvia looked up at Neil and nodded. “Okay.”
Idris was the only one left at the ward.
When he saw Neil’s bandaged arm, he kept apologizing. “I’m so sorry for today’s accident, Mr. Remus.”
Neil treated him coldly. “You don’t have to apologize.”
Idris was stunned. Before he could react, Neil said something that caused him greater despair.
“Because I’m not letting the Pond Family off the hook this time. You and your company can stop negotiating for a collaboration.”
