Chapter 159

Sylvia would like to see what secret the three were hiding from her.

However, Skyla stopped her, "Why are you so worried about a housekeeper? She's sick. You don't

want to catch her disease, do you?"novelbin

"I'm not afraid." Sylvia pushed her away and went upstairs.

Skyla anxiously grabbed Otto's arm. "Sweetie, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Nothing!" Otto shook her hand away and followed Sylvia in anger and irritation.

Sylvia rushed upstairs to the second floor.

As she approached, the coughing was getting closer and closer.

It seemed that the sound came out of the attic instead of one of the rooms.

Sylvia wouldn't have found anything wrong with it if Otto and Skyla weren't acting so guiltily. Since they

were hiding something from her, she would like to see what it was.

It was stuffy and suffocating in the attic.

Was the housekeeper living there?

And now she was sick. It would be even worse living in the attic.

Just as she arrived at the attic and her hand was on the doorknob, she was about to push the door

open.

Otto caught up with her and said, "Sylvia, I have something important to ask you."

Sylvia glanced at him and her hand paused on the doorknob. "What is it?"

"It's about Mr. Wilson."

Sylvia arched her eyebrows and looked at him. "The more you act like this, the more I want to know

who is living in the attic."

She heard a violent cough again.

It was the closest she had ever been to the sound.

Sylvia suddenly widened her eyes in shock. The voice was familiar.

She was outraged and pushed the door open.

Then, she saw that in the narrow space of the attic placed a small bed, on which lay an old lady with a

pale face.

The attic was filled with dust and sundries.

There was a terrible smell in the air.

Of course, anyone would get sick staying here.

Sylvia stared at the haggard old lady in bed.

"Grandma!"

Kira was curling up in bed at this moment. She had been feeling dizzy in her head.

When she heard the familiar voice, she slowly opened her eyes and recognized the woman in front of

her. "Sibbie, is that you?"

She sounded weak and her voice was low.

"Grandma, how are you?" Sylvia squatted down by the bed and held her hand.

"I'm fine," Kira smiled at her and then closed her eyes again.

"Grandma!" Sylvia immediately took her pulse while calling the hospital. "I'm Sylvia Andrews, send an

ambulance to the Andrews Residence. I will send you the address later."

After sending the address, Sylvia glanced at Otto, Skyla, and Tammy.

"Sylvia, listen to me..." Otto felt a chill down his spine and looked at Sylvia nervously. Sylvia looked

intimidating, and even he was intimidated.

Sylvia shouted, "Shut up!"

"How dare you talk to father like that! You've gone too far!" Tammy yelled at her.

"You don't get a say in here." Sylvia glanced at her and then looked at Otto again, "I thought grandma

was living happily with you, but never had I expected that you were abusing her."

"You'd better watch your words! No one has been abusing her. We have been taking good care of her.

She was the one who insisted on moving into the attic!" Upon hearing Sylvia's words, Skyla raised her

voice and spoke.

"She's terribly ill. However, you have done nothing and you lied to me about it. Why?" Sylvia squinted

her eyes. "Skyla, do you think I am a fool?"

Skyla opened her eyes wide and looked aggrieved. "I am your stepmother. You have no respect for

your elders. Do you?"

"Sylvia, we are your elders. Moreover, we haven't been abusing your grandma! Since she came from

the countryside, she hasn't been used to life in the city. She claimed that it was quieter in the attic."

Otto knew that he could never admit the fact that he had been abusing his own mother.

"You are still lying." Sylvia sneered, "You think I wouldn't find the evidence?"

She had enough of talking to the three. She was so mad that she wished she could turn the three into

the police.

However, she was reminded of her own family name, Andrews.

She had to suppress the anger inside her and make a plan.

She texted Vaild, "Tell Dakota to investigate the financial and tax problems of the Andrews Group. Hack

into their systems and get the evidence."

"Yes!"

Vaild turned his chair to face Mark, "Sylvia's finally targeting the Andrews Group."

"Otto Andrews has used all sorts of dirty tricks. Sylvia has been enduring him for a long time," Mark

sneered and spoke.

Then, he sent a message in the group chat, "Everyone, we are onto the Andrews Group!"

At the same time, in the Andrews Residence, the ambulance had arrived and the head of the

Emergency Department had come along with the nurses and doctors. "Dr. Sylvia, where's the patient?"

"In the attic," Sylvia said.

"Let me help her downstairs!" Otto said with guilt. It would be embarrassing if they found that he had

been letting his sick mother live in the attic.

Skyla echoed, "Yes, thank you for coming. We can carry her downstairs by ourselves."

Seeing the angry look on Sylvia's face, the head of the Emergency Department knew that there must

be something unpleasant.

He immediately led the nurses and doctors upstairs. Everyone frowned when they saw what was in the

attic.

They all looked at the Andrews with disdain and doubt.

Tammy stood there and felt embarrassed that all her colleagues saw her ill grandma staying in the attic.

"Dr. Sylvia, let's go."

The head of the Emergency Department said to Sylvia respectfully, as if he worked under her.

Tammy was confused.

She stopped him and asked, "Is she really a doctor?"

"You should be a nurse in the Surgical Department. She's the best surgeon in the hospital, don't you

know that?" the head of the Emergency Department looked at Tammy and then at Sylvia.

When he was talking to Tammy, he seemed to look down upon her.

But when he looked at Sylvia, there was respect and admiration on his face.

How snobbish!

"I... I am her sister!" Tammy said, lowering her head.

"We don't share a mother." After that, Sylvia walked out of the house.
