Chapter 695
"I'm Sylvia Andrews. And he's my husband." Sylvia made a brief introduction.
Sylvia...
Her name is Sylvia... such a beautiful name.
Isabelle Deleon thought to herself quietly, Sylvia didn't look very old, but why did she have such an
imposing presence? Her heart couldn't help but tremble a little.
Her eyes occasionally stole glances at Sylvia. Franklin, on the other hand, had a moment of confusion
when he heard Sylvia introduce him. He thought she would say "This is Franklin" or "This is my
boyfriend"... he didn't expect her to directly introduce him as her husband.
Husband...
The word echoed in his head repeatedly. It made him unconsciously lift the corners of his mouth and
smile. He looked out the window at the passing scenery with great joy.
The car quickly stopped in the hotel's underground parking lot. Sylvia had been looking down at her
phone on the way, occasionally tapping on the screen as if checking Facebook.
After parking, she put away her phone and looked at the mother and daughter next to her. "Get off
here; there's food in the hotel. I'll order you something." She opened the car door and got out first.
Franklin and Jasper also got out of their car together with this mother-daughter pair and entered into an
elevator that led them up to their floor level where Jasper quickly arranged for a new room for them
right next door to where Sylvia and Franklin were staying.
Sylvia took them into their room, then said, "You can stay here temporarily; don't think too much."
"Thank you," Isabelle gratefully looked at her saying, "I really appreciate all your help."
"It's nothing," replied Sylvia nonchalantly before adding, "Let me take a look at your foot first."
Isabelle hesitated for a moment before limping over to sit down on one of sofas nearby, then lifted up
pant leg revealing a swollen ankle.
Sylvia squatted down in front of Isabelle, lifted up Isabella's foot, then pressed it gently while kneading
it lightly, making Isabella immediately let out cries of pain from being touched so hard!
"You haven't broken any bones; just sprained it slightly, so resting for a few days will make things
better," said Sylvia as she put down Isabella's foot before turning towards Bethany, the little girl, who
was staring intently with big eyes. Sylvia then asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm Bethany Bentley," replied the little girl sweetly with a sweet voice.
"That's such a lovely name!" smiled Sylvia who reached over patting Bethany gently on top of head
afterwards!
The feel of it startled Sylvia.
"Don't move, let me take a look at your head."
The little girl sat there obediently. Sylvia gently pushed her hair back, and saw an ugly scar the size of
a fist...
Horrifyingly, it was concealed beneath a thick mane of hair.
She was startled and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes, "How did she get that on her head?"
That scar looked like it was caused by a burn or scald.
The scar shape seemed to be a few letters - "Bentley".
Who was so insane to hurt such a innocent little girl?
"The customs in our country. After all girls are born, their family surname will be branded on their head.
Some girls cannot bear this pain and may die."
Isabelle hugged Bethany with a heartache, "She is not only my daughter, but also a part of me."
How despicable, what kind of bad customs is this?
Why do some people take pride and pleasure in hurting women in this world?
Sylvia's chest was heaving with anger.
She took a deep breath and looked down at the innocent Bethany with affection. "Bethany, is your head
still hurting?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore..." Bethany shook her head.
At this moment, room service has been delivered.
Jasper specifically ordered the most exquisite and expensive set menu.
Meat and vegetables complement each other, with a perfect balance of color, fragrance and taste.
As soon as it was opened, a burst of fragrance wafted into the nose.
Isabelle sat down at the table with her child and cautiously glanced at Sylvia, as if she couldn't believe
she had really met such a kind-hearted person.
"Hurry up and eat. The kid is starving."
Sylvia sat down on the sofa and Franklin sat down next to her.
The man suppressed his shock and held her hand, "Don't feel too bad. Society is developing, and
people's thoughts here cannot be changed overnight."
"But... I want to make a change!" Sylvia curled her lips and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. "I
want to completely overthrow the darkness and shine the light in."
"Honey..." Franklin couldn't help but call out to her in a low voice, "Whatever you want to do, I will
always be by your side."novelbin
Jasper expressed his concern, as he could easily see Sylvia's ambition. She wanted to change the
status of women in society, which was quite a daring thought. How could she possibly achieve this in
such a short time?
Sylvia smirked and said, "How will we know the outcome if we don't even try?"
Just then, Isabelle's timid voice interrupted them.
