Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 240

More tears trickled down Sylvia’s face. Even if she tried, she couldn’t stop them at all.

She held his hand and shouted at him, “Don’t you dare die on me! Because if you do, I will immediately find another man to marry! You will regret it for the rest of your after life!”

Eder’s bloody lips curved into a miserable smile.

“No way. You’re mine…”

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his response and quickly looked at the medical staff on both sides. “I’m already here. Send him in. Quick!”

Eder still held her hand and refused to let go. “Sylvia, listen to my explanation, okay?”

“Your treatment is more important right now. I’ll be right outside. I’ll listen to your explanation after you’re healed.”

Eder’s face was already so pale from losing a lot of blood.

But he still stubbornly held onto her hand. He wanted to memorize her face in case he would die on the operating table.

Sylvia felt distressed so she could only forcefully remove his hand and watch him be pushed into the emergency room.

While the operating light was turned on, Sylvia sat outside waiting with dull eyes and tears still staining

her cheeks.

This was the first time that she had shed tears in front of so many people but she didn’t care. All that mattered to her right now was that Eder must survive.

After waiting for three hours until nine o’clock in the evening, Eder still hadn’t come out.

Eric dismissed his fellow brothers from the army and sat down in the waiting seat opposite Sylvia with a heavy expression.

He seemed to think for a long time before he saying:

“After all those months since the incident in that warehouse, I understand that you must thought that he lied to you and planned all of it from the start. However, it’s not the case. He really went with the determination to die. He had never expected to survive. If my fellow brothers hadn’t arrived in time, he would have really died in the sea of fire.”

Sylvia slowly raised her gaze to meet his.

Eric continued with a heavy heart: “As for why he didn’t return to your side, it was because the Grant family was in chaos during that time and he had to go to them first. And although he was lucky enough to survive, he also suffered extensive burns on his face and body. His legs also got fractured in the fight. His internal body wasn’t any better…”

His eyes flashed slightly and left out the part that there was still a biochemical virus in his boss‘ body.

The reason why Eder did not return to Frant City wasn’t just because of the Grant family. It was also because of the virus in his body. The doctor was having trouble in finding a complete cure even until now. He had to go to the laboratory every three days. His life was barely hanging on in general.
