Chapter 300: Will You Save Me?
Working continuously for several days, Cyril showed no signs of trouble, so his secretary and assistant gradually relaxed.
They thought everything was fine, as such headaches were not uncommon, but when Cyril collapsed at work, they realized how naive they had been.
Cyril was supposed to be attending a meeting when he suddenly fainted for no apparent reason. His collapse shocked everyone, and he was rushed to the hospital. The doctor's diagnosis revealed that he had fainted due to low blood sugar from skipping meals for too long.
It was then that the group of Sylvias belatedly remembered that Cyril had been immersed in work, neglecting his meals. They realized his body couldn't handle it anymore.
The words spoken to Cyril by Michelle during their last meeting seemed harmless on the surface but had deeply wounded him.
While such incidents had occurred before, Sylvia had always resolved them quickly. Now, without Sylvia, they didn't know what to do.
"Should we call Sylvia and ask her to come? If Cyril continues like this, I'm worried he'll end up living in the hospital."
They had been by Cyril's side for years, working with him since he started the company. Cyril was a good boss who paid well. So, they genuinely cared for him. Despite his wealth, his family always seemed problematic.
Clearly, the last line of defense in Cyril's family had been breached. Thus, Cyril couldn't handle the collapse.
"That sounds good in theory. But what can Sylvia do? Don't forget, she and Cyril are practically estranged after the divorce. You were there with Cyril at the neighborhood committee meetings. Didn't you notice Sylvia's disdain towards him? Do you really think she'll come?"
Paris was the most aware of Cyril and Sylvia's relationship. He knew Sylvia would never agree, even if they asked her. Everyone fell into a silence. What now? They couldn't do nothing. What if Cyril collapsed again?
"We need to find someone to watch Cyril closely. He hasn't been eating properly for days.'
With no other option, they decided to focus on ensuring Cyril ate regularly. They nodded in agreement and prepared to leave to get Cyril's medication when they saw Sylvia.
Paris was surprised to see Sylvia here, as she was born here.
"Miss Sylvia!"

He called out to her from a distance, and when Sylvia heard the familiar voice, she turned around. Seeing Paris, she was momentarily surprised, then realized he must be here because something had happened to Cyril. It must be Bonnie.
"Why are you here? Is Cyril hurt or is it Bonnie?"
Paris hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Both of them are in trouble. Are you hurt?"
"No, my brother is here for something. I came with him. What's going on?"
"Well, I hope you can come and see my boss. He's been stressed lately and is hospitalized. He hasn't eaten for days, and we're worried he'll make himself worse. We hope you'll come. It's a favor. He just needs a glance, nothing more."
Though Paris had initially opposed Sylvia's coming, seeing her now, he couldn't help but put all his hopes on her. Sylvia had witnessed Cyril's situation firsthand, and maybe she'd show him some mercy?
Sylvia was stunned. She hadn't expected Cyril to be in the hospital, let alone collapse. They were divorced, so there was no obligation, but seeing Paris's pleading expression, she couldn't say no.
"I'll go see him, but it's only because
of you. You've been by his side for so many years, and it must have been exhausting. If he recovers sooner, it'll make your job easier As for Cyril's family matters, don't tell me I don't want to know. I'll just take a book at him and leave when he wakes up." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Sylvia's agreement made Paris particularly happy. He quickly led her to Cyril's room. When they entered, Cyril was already awake, staring at the ceiling, saying nothing. He wanted to know where he was.
Hearing the door open, Cyril turned to look, and suddenly, without rhyme or reason, he blurted out, "Will you save me?"
Everyone froze, especially Sylvia. She looked at Paris, bewildered by Cyril's behavior. Was he insane?
Paris was also taken aback. He hadn't expected his boss to suddenly say something so strange.
"Uh, Miss Sylvia came because she had something to do. I asked her to come and see you."
Paris reminded him.
