A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 729 Consoling the Hurt Little Sister

“Marley, Aila’s obviously at fault here! Isn’t she jealous of Sylvie, so that’s why she deleted the file?”

“You have to have proof to make an accusation! I am angry over the fact that she skipped out on work!” Marley suddenly said, although his handsome face still looked indifferent as he rubbed his eyebrows. “She’s acting up because she’s upset!”

“Aren’t you upset as well? She’s just a child, and you’re demanding too much. A lot of children like her are still out fooling around!”

“But she’s not a child, she’s the heir to the Mccarthy Group. I made a promise to Cassius, and I intend to honor it! Yes, I’m not qualified either! Both of us should reflect on ourselves! I really am too temperamental today.” In other words, they were both the heirs, and their high status isolated them and made them lonely. There was no way common folks would understand the kind of loneliness they felt.

“Well, first time seeing you berate yourself like this!” Tyler said, “Actually, you don’t have to give yourself that much pressure. Aren’t you two on good terms? And Sylvie looks like she’s doing well! Even as a secretary, she’s doing well these days.”

Marley lowered his tone, “Her work still needs to be examined! But as for what I’ve promised Cassius, I will see it through!”

Tyler kept quiet for a while; he just looked at Marley and sighed.

The second he woke up, Ryan felt pain all over his body, and his throat felt like it was burning. He grunted with his eyes shut.

“Ryan? Do you need something?” Someone beside him asked, “Do you want water?”

“Sylvie?” Ryan was startled. What was she doing here? He couldn’t make sense of it. It appeared that his fever was quite severe.

“Ryan, your fever has short-circuited your brain!” Sylvie was glad to see him awake and handed him a warm towel, “Hear, wipe your face, you’ll feel better. Your fever just subsided, so you can’t shower just yet!”

Ryan then acted as if he just remembered something, “Oh, that’s right! I opened the door for you!”

“Glad you remember!” Sylvie laughed. As long as he was fine, she felt relieved.

As for work, she didn’t care whether Marley was furious or not. She couldn’t handle both sides at the same time. She and Marley didn’t get along well in the morning, and now there was trouble in the afternoon. Surely he must be pissed by now?

Ryan’s mind was clearer, and his fever was gone. His strength gradually came back to him, “Sylvie, you were here this entire afternoon?”

“Yup!” Sylvie nodded.

“You took care of me during this whole time?” Ryan was quite touched.

“I didn’t do much, all I did was sit here and look over you. If your fever didn’t go away, I was ready to call an ambulance!”

“Thank you!”

“What are you thanking me for? I’ve never shown such formality to you before!” Sylvie said as she laughed, “If you have the energy, get up and eat something. I had someone bring some ingredients and made some porridge and simple dishes. Do you want to eat?”
