Silvia was agitated, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.
“What evidence do you have?”
Ada gave her a mocking smile. “Silvia, what evidence do you still need? Why don’t you ask the firefighter?”
Silvia took a deep breath and sternly said, “Please leave! I won’t trust anything that you say!”
Ada could tell that Silvia actually believed her; she just refused to admit it. So, she slowly stood up and looked down at Silvia.
“I really pity Chris. He rushed into the fire to save you and suffered a lot after the incident. But Neil covered everything up. Silvia, think about it. If Neil really loves you, why would he lie to you like that?”
“Get out!”
Ada smiled when she saw Silvia’s dark expression.
Since she had achieved her goal, she was not sticking around to see Silvia’s pitiful state.
Once she was the only person left in the office, Silvia took a deep breath and dialed the same number from last night, “Question the so-called firefighter who saved me before! I want the results in an hour!”
After Silvia hung up, she fell on the couch as if all her strength had disappeared.
The moment Ada mentioned Chris’s name, she knew that Ada was telling the truth.
Waves of guilt and regret flooded her. If she had insisted on investigating it earlier on, perhaps Neil would have failed to fool her.
Besides, why was Chris helping Neil to cover it up?
She recalled Katherine’s attitude when she visited Chris the last time. She guessed that Katherine knew about this too.
She took out her phone and contacted Katherine to meet up with her.
Katherine knew that Silvia had performed the surgery on Chris. Therefore, her attitude toward Silvia had improved, and she agreed to meet her.
On her way to meet Katherine, Silvia received a call from Neil.
Katherine was momentarily stunned before she looked away guiltily. “Miss Pond, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. You’re the one who’s saved him.”
“Ha!”
Silvia chuckled and said, “I’ve found evidence that Chris was the person who saved me during the fire. There’s no point in lying to me now.”
Katherine clenched her fists without realizing it. She took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t want to hide it from you, but Mr. Rios wouldn’t let me say anything. Once Chris regained consciousness, he learned that Mr. Rios and Mr. Remus had cooperated to lie to you. Despite that, he did not want to affect your relationship with Mr. Remus, so he stopped me from bringing this up.”
Silvia closed her eyes. She did not expect this to be the reason.
Chris was afraid of ruining her relationship with Neil, but what about Neil? He hid the truth from her because he was selfish and insecure.
Did he ever think how she would feel once she knew about this one day?
“Was he unconscious for a long time after he saved me? Was he the friend you were visiting when I bumped into you at Imperial First Hospital?”
