Silvia had never mentioned anything about Felix's death to Jayden.

The reason was simple. Jayden had nothing to do with Felix. He had no obligation to look for the murderer for her. Moreover, Silvia did not want to keep relying on Jayden for her personal affairs.

All these years, there would be someone who would take care of her and protect her. She had always taken them for granted and she would rely on them so much that she had become so helpless when she finally lost them.

A few months ago, she could only sit and watch as Norman and his cronies snatched Wateria Corporation away from her. Now that she had found out Felix was murdered, she could not even replace any clues! She told herself that could not rely on Jayden anymore. She had to do it herself...

As she was deep in her thoughts, Jayden grabbed her cold hand within his warm palms. In his deep and powerful voice, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Silvia shook her head and said, "Jayden, could you please concentrate on your driving? No matter when or where, you must prioritize our safety, okay?"

"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Something must be bothering this young lady but she was not willing to tell him. Jayden did not want her to worry, so he withdrew his hand and focused on his driving.

It was already 10:30 p.m. when they got home. However, the lights in the house were still on. Levi and Julien would even run to the door from time to time to see if Jayden had managed to bring their sister-in- law home.

After waiting for quite some time, they finally saw the two coming home. Levi trotted towards them and hugged one of Silvia's arms. "Sister Silvia, did Jayden bully you behind our backs?"

Silvia smiled and stroked his head. "No, he didn't."

Levi did not believe her. "But you don't look so well..."

"Really?" Silvia touched her face. She had experienced so much for the past few months, but she still could not hide her emotions. She would always show it on her face, and even a child could notice it. "It must be the weather. It's really cold outside."

Levi tiptoed and whispered in her ear, "Sister Silvia, I've already called for some backups. You don't have to be afraid of Jayden anymore. Just tell me if he bullies you, okay?."

Silvia said, "Backups? What backups?"

"It's a secret for now. I'll tell you in a couple of days." That afternoon, Mia had called Levi on the phone to ask about the situation here, and Levi had accidentally revealed that Jayden had locked Silvia up in a dark room as a punishment. When Mia heard that, she was so furious that she instantly said she was going to go over to Madison City to help Silvia out.

Mia was a go-getter. No one would be able to stop her when she had decided on something, so Levi was guessing that Mia was probably on the plane to Madison City at this very moment.

"Do you have to keep me guessing like this, Levi?" Silvia knew that Levi was a cheeky little boy, so she did not take his words seriously. She thought that Levi probably was just trying to scare Jayden. "Jayden, Sister Silvia is a lady. You should always treat ladies well, and not bully them." Levi gave Jayden a discontented look, and then pulled Silvia up. "Sister Silvia, you must be hungry, right? Auntie Cherry has prepared a lot of good food for you. Make sure you have more of it later, okay?"

Jayden kept quiet.

He was quite happy that the boys could get along so well with Silvia.

"Okay, I will." However, after sitting at the dining table and looking at her favorite dishes, Silvia still did not have an appetite. She did not feel like eating anything at all.

Levi, who did not notice it, was still eagerly filling up her dinner plate. Silvia did not want to disappoint him, so she ate some of it.

"It's okay if you don't feel like eating." Jayden grabbed Silvia's hand and said to the boys, "Levi, Julien, I'll take care of her. You two can go back to your room first."

"Jayden, don't think that we don't know what's going on. You're probably going to bully Sister Silvia again once we leave. This won't do. We'll definitely not leave her alone this time." Levi thought that Silvia was not looking well because of Jayden. Therefore, he wanted to stay back and protect Silvia.

Jayden felt a little helpless as he said, "I'm not going to bully her."

It really warmed the cockles of Silvia's heart to see that Levi was being so protective of herself. "Levi, Julien, we've already made up. He's not going to bully me anymore. Go, you guys should go to bed already."

"But... okay, we'll go back to our room first. If there is anything, make sure you come to us, okay?" Levi still could not feel at ease, but looking at the gentle smile on Silvia's face, he chose to believe her. He chose to believe that Jayden was still someone who would cherish her and treat her well.

After sending the boys to their room, Silvia could no longer force a smile on her face. She said feebly, "I'm feeling a little tired. I want to go back to my room first."

"I'll come with you." Jayden stood up and carried her into his arms. Silvia was so startled by his actions that she immediately stretched out her arms and wrapped them tightly around his neck. "Jayden, I'm really tired tonight. Don't mess around, okay?"

"What do you think I was going to do?" Jayden wanted to carry her back to the room because he noticed that she was looking very tired. However, this woman obviously saw him as an animal and even though that he was going to do something to her.

"I know I could always feel at ease whenever you're here by my side." Silvia leaned against his chest. His warm embrace had given her a strong sense of security, which she was very much lacking at this moment.

"What a silly woman!" Jayden was satisfied with this answer so he could not help but to carry her tighter in his arms.

After returning to her room, Silvia immediately went to the bathroom and took a bath. When she came out, her forehead was covered with sweat and she was even swaying as she walked. It looked as if she was going to fall on to the ground at any time. Luckily, Jayden noticed it in time and caught her from hitting the floor.

"Silvia, are you not feeling well?" Jayden's heart wrenched as he looked at Silvia, who was covered in cold sweat. "I'll send you to the hospital right away." Silvia shook her head. "No, I'm fine..."

Jayden couldn't help but pick Silvia up and strode out of the room. "You're sweating so much because of the pain. How could you say you're fine?"

"It's... it's because of my period." Silvia was embarrassed to say it out loud. However, if she didn't say it, Jayden would definitely bring her to the hospital again.

The previous time, when she thought that she was pregnant, Jayden immediately brought her to the hospital. If she were to go to the hospital just because of her period this time, she really did not know how she would face the doctors and nurses at the hospital.

So, she must not let him leave the room!

Jayden was slightly stunned. He asked, "Really? That's what happens when you're on your period?"

"I never had cramps before this, but my cycle was messed up so that's why I'm getting the cramps this time." To stop Jayden from taking her to the hospital, Silvia had no choice but to patiently explain it to him while enduring the pain.
