Chapter 713: Chapter 713: The Person Engaged to Master Blackwood
"Grandma Blackwood, the surgery is over."
Sylvia Sterling stood wearily at the door of the operating room, took off her mask, but spoke in a relaxed tone.
Old Madam Blackwood was getting on in years and had been waiting by the ward door all night. Although she was very sleepy, she immediately perked up upon hearing this.
She tightly grasped Sylvia Sterling’s hand, happily saying, "Sylvia, we couldn’t have done it without you!"
Saying this, Old Madam Blackwood wiped her eyes again, regrettably saying, "Back then, Sebastian was supposed to be with you, but it’s such a pity..."
The relationship between the Sterling family and the Blackwood family had always been strong, especially between Old Madam Sterling and Old Madam Blackwood, who were lifelong friends.
They had agreed long ago that if one had a daughter and the other a son, they would join their families by marriage.
However, no one expected that both bore sons, so the matter was temporarily shelved.
Later, in their grandchild’s generation, fortune smiled upon them.
Thus, when Sylvia Sterling was born, she was betrothed to Sebastian Blackwood; however, Sylvia went abroad with her family to study medicine, and the matter gradually faded away.
Now that Sylvia has returned, Sebastian Blackwood is already married with a child.
This marriage agreement between the Sterling and Blackwood families naturally could not proceed any further.
Sylvia Sterling is still a young maiden, and there’s no reason for her to come to the Blackwood family as a stepmother, though her status is more than a match for Sebastian Blackwood.
Old Madam Blackwood was very satisfied with this, especially since she saved Sebastian this time, she was extremely pleased.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Blackwood couldn’t help but regretfully say, "Ah, you and Sebastian are just destined but not fated."
Sylvia Sterling smiled slightly but said nothing.
Her impression of Sebastian Blackwood remained in the shallow childhood memories; she only remembered him as aloof, difficult to approach, and indifferent towards her.
"Sylvia, you’re tired as well, hurry and rest. I’ll call for the best caregiver to take care of Sebastian here."
Old Madam Blackwood, seeing her yawn several times, quickly urged her to rest.
Sylvia Sterling didn’t refuse and nodded, "Alright, then you should also get some early rest, Grandma Blackwood."
After the surgery, Sebastian Blackwood was sent to the best ward.
His injury was on his back, so he could only lie prone. Because of the serious injury, a large chunk of flesh on his back was excavated, looking shocking and particularly terrifying.
As soon as Old Madam Blackwood entered, seeing her always strong-willed grandson lying there pale, her heart clenched as if tightened, and she sniffed sadly.
"Sebastian, you’ve suffered so much this time; don’t get entangled with that Ivy Kensington anymore, she doesn’t love you!"
Old Madam Blackwood said, standing by Sebastian’s bed, "If she loved you, how could she marry you one moment and divorce within three days, then entangle with another man in the middle of the night? If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have this injury at all."
She rambled on, completely unaware of Sebastian’s subtly furrowed brow.
"Old Madam, you go rest, I’ll watch over here."
It was already very late; Owen Rhodes saw Old Madam Blackwood rubbing her eyes constantly in fatigue and came in to remind her.
Old Madam Blackwood was indeed quite elderly, and it was quite difficult for her at this hour, so upon hearing this, she nodded, "Alright, then stay here and keep a good watch, and inform me of any situation immediately."
"Rest assured, Old Madam, I will definitely take good care of Master Blackwood."
Owen Rhodes watched Old Madam Blackwood leave.
As soon as Old Madam Blackwood left, another figure immediately appeared at the ward door...
