Chapter 303: Can't Bear to Refuse
After returning home, Sylvia was surprised to find both her older brothers there.
The way they looked at her wasn't exactly friendly, and Sylvia immediately understood what was going on. She glanced helplessly at her third brother, Dwight, who didn't think he had done anything wrong. To him, his actions were just about protecting his sister from potential harm.
"Our family has never seen anyone as devoted as you. If Dad knew how devoted you are, he'd probably be amused. And Mom probably never imagined her darling daughter would end up like this, repeatedly acting foolish for a man. Sylvia, tell me, what's your reason this time?"
Bruce sat on the sofa and directly questioned her. Sylvia felt a headache coming on. It wasn't really a big deal, but being questioned by her brothers made it seem more complicated than it was.
"I just couldn't bear to refuse him. After all, he's a patient, so I felt a bit of sympathy. Besides, considering what he's going through right now, well, I can understand. After all, it's my sister..."
"And why does that concern you? We've never seen you so considerate before. Now, just because of Cyril, you're showing so much concern?!" Balk interrupted her, realizing Sylvia's explanations wouldn't convince them. His tone was particularly harsh. Seeing their intense reactions, Sylvia knew this situation wasn't going to be resolved easily.
"I know you're worried about me, but you really don't need to be. I'm well aware of the situation. Although I've said I want to cut ties with Cyril, you both know it's not that easy, especially since Cyril is still a patient. I feel a bit sorry for him, and isn't that normal? You both don't need to be so sad about it. I know what I'm doing."
Sylvia earnestly began explaining why she wanted to see Cyril this time. It was mainly out of sympathy for Barry, who had been by Cyril's side for so many years without doing anything wrong. But now, because of Barry, Sylvia had ended up in trouble. She regretted going in the first place.
"I no longer have any feelings for Cyril. So even if he stands in front of me, I won't feel much. But when I see him in such a miserable state, I can't help but feel a little sympathy. Isn't it like seeing a wounded animal on the roadside and taking it to the vet?"
The three brothers were stunned by Sylvia's words. Was this the point? What they were discussing and what Sylvia was saying were completely different things. And how could she compare humans to animals?
"You've never been this eloquent before. Looks like you've learned to come up with excuses after being trained in the company for some time. But have you ever thought whether your reason is valid?"Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Bruce's eyes became threatening. Sylvia stopped talking. She knew these excuses wouldn't convince her brothers, but what else could she say?
"Alright, alright, I was wrong this
time. I swear won't meet Cyril
alone again if I want to see him, I'll make sure one of you accompanies me. That way, you can make sure i don't mess up. And I find it strange that you keep reminding me not to get hung up on Cyril, yet you agree to let Miles get close to me. You're really strange."
Sylvia shrugged. Seeing her brothers' reactions, she immediately softened her tone and surrendered.
Seeing Sylvia's words, they all knew
she was trying to reassure them, but
at least they got a promise from
Pet
Sylvia. They were just too worried, and scared that Sylvia might repeat her mistakes. Despite Sylvia's repeated assurances that she wouldn't get involved with Cyril again, they had seen more and more entanglement between Sylvia and Cyril lately.
Of course, they couldn't blame their sister. She was also a victim. The blame lay with Cyril. If he hadn't been so calculating, none of this would have happened, right?
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. You should rest early."
Obviously, the three of them had
their own meeting to attend to, and they didn't want to disturb Sylvia anymorez They knew their next topic of discussion would likely involve her, but there was nothing they could do. Sylvia's trust in front of her brothers was too low. Sylvia slowly returned upstairs.
As Sylvia had imagined, the three of them sat down to discuss today's events. They were all aware of what Cyril had been through recently and were worried that he might be using another method to get closer to Sylvia again. So, they had to nip this situation in the bud.
"To solve this, the best solution is to first resolve the situation with Bonnie, because she's the core of the whole thing. And Sylvia feels soft because of what Bonnie is experiencing now. So ultimately, this is all because of Cyril. We have to deal with Cyril."
After Balk's random analysis, the conclusion was that to resolve the situation, they needed to address Bonnie and Cyril first.
"Second brother, everyone wants to hear your opinion on this, but the problem is, even if we solve it, we can't completely change Bonnie and Barry's feelings. So, I think we should let the newcomer dilute the old love. Therefore, I still support Miles."
