Chapter 120 Why Are You Here?
Bonnie was genuinely terrified. Without anyone to look after her abroad, how long could she survive, especially after stirring up such trouble without informing her family? Why else would she have returned to her home country?
“You can’t just send me abroad. Mom won’t allow it. I’ve just managed to come back; there’s no way I’m leaving again. Are you trying to keep the family wealth to yourself? I’ll have you know I’m Mom’s child too. Whatever you have, I have a share in it!”
After hearing these words, any last shred of pity Cyril had for Bonnie vanished. He looked down at his sister with a sudden, cold laugh.
“Do you honestly think you have any claim to these things? I’ll have you know the company was bankrupt when I took over. It cost me a fortune to buy it out. The company is mine now, as is the money. I gave you what I did purely because we share blood. Without that, do you think you’d have the audacity to stand before me and make demands?”
Cyril was ready to cut ties even with his own mother if only it weren’t for the potential market repercussions and the stability of his company.
“Bonnie, do not test my patience any further. It’s limited. If you’re unwilling to leave on your own terms, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Cyril would likely have let Bonnie leave without further ado if she did so quietly. But if she continued to defy him, she’d have no one else to blame for the consequences.
Realization washed over Bonnie’s pale face; Cyril was dead serious. If she didn’t comply, he wouldn’t. hesitate to act against her.
“And as for your arm, you brought it upon yourself.”
After these final words, Cyril turned and left without another glance.
It seemed he only came to see if Bonnie was still alive; beyond that, she was of no concern to him.
Alone and shaking, Bonnie waited until Cyril had left the room before desperately grabbing her phone to call Michelle, only to find the line unreachable. Fear gripped her as she imagined being left to fend for
herself.
Exiting the hospital room, Cyril immediately went looking for Sylvia. He needed to clear up misunderstandings and reveal the truth about the past.

As he stepped outside, he saw Sylvia and Dewitt talking in the garden, seemingly at an impasse. Hesitating briefly, Cyril decided to approach them and speak his mind.
*You really went too far today. Didn’t we agree already? To consider this a charitable act. There was no need for what you did, and Bonnie and I don’t have such big conflicts,” Sylvia said, clearly upset.
“Whether there’s a conflict or not isn’t for you to say. I act on what I see. If you hadn’t shown up today, I‘ would never have let Cyril off the hook so easily. After how he treated you, you still speak for him. That life

-saving debt should have been settled long agol”
“Dewitt…”
“Have you been blaming yourself all these years because you think our father died trying to save you? I’ve Investigated, Sylvio. The incident with our father was an accident. You were at risk, and while saving his own son, he happened to save you too. Even if you hadn’t been there, he would have died trying to save
his son!
You don’t need to carry this burden. You’ve done enough, been kind to him, wanting to repay that debt. You saved him five years ago on that yacht; you’re the one who called me to perform the surgery. I did the surgery, but you know how he’s treated you since then, don’t you?”
Dewitt had always been indulgent with Sylvia, but when she was hurt, his indulgence turned into a lethal weapon–not aimed at Sylvia, but certainly at Cyril.
Cyril, nearing them just in time to hear their conversation, was stunned. His father had died when he was ten, saving him and a little girl–an act Cyril always believed was mainly for his sake, but he never knew that little girl was Sylvia. And the yacht incident five years ago, which he suspected might have been Sylvia but was told it was Karina.
Now, he realized how foolish he’d been.
His mind buzzed, unsure of what to say, when Dewitt noticed him and roared furiously, “Why are you here? What are you doing here? Do you want to hurt my sister again?”
“I’m sorry…” was all Cyril could manage to say. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Indeed, his father had saved Sylvia by chance, but Sylvia had more than repaid the debt with her actions Yet, Cyril had hurt her time and again.
Hearing Cyril’s apology and seeing his expression, Sylvia paused. She didn’t need his guilt. All she’d done was to ease her conscience, knowing well that she was only saved incidentally. That
incidental rescue granted her the life she led now, and she was grateful to Cyril. She’d wanted to repay him, but along the way, that debt of gratitude had turned into love. Now, she was disappointed.
“There’s nothing more between us. You don’t need to say these things,” Sylvia said firmly, straightening her posture. The past was past, the debts paid, and it was time for them to walk separate paths without any further contact.
But upon hearing Sylvia’s dismissal, Cyril panicked. It wasn’t supposed to be like this!
