Chapter 22
When the group arrived at the door of the ward, Delilah stopped talking.
She was speaking in a way that seemed to be considering Silvia’s feelings, so Luke and Zoe didn’t suspect anything.
Meanwhile, only Caleb gave Delilah and Ryan a cold, piercing look.
Luke pushed the door open and saw Silvia lying unconscious on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with resentment.
Glancing to the side, he saw the culprit playing with her phone.
His anger couldn’t be suppressed any longer, and he quickly walked over and slapped Aria’s hand.
The phone slipped out and fell to the ground.
Aria raised an eyebrow, her eyes shrouded in a layer of icy frost, sharp as a razor’s edge, brimming with deadly intent that sent chills down one’s spine.
Meeting those eyes, Luke suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a beast in the dark, his whole body freezing up.
“Uncle Luke, what are you doing?” Caleb immediately stood in front of Aria, his back steady and solid, giving off a strong sense of security.
Aria loosened her tightly clenched fist slightly.
Caleb’s protection calmed the restlessness in her heart a bit.
At this moment, those curses from the couple echoed in her mind. “Madelyn, you’re a cold–blooded monster. You have no heart. You’re destined to be alone for life. Don’t think coming back to the Saxon family can change anything; no one will ever love you.”
To some extent, what that couple said did come true.

Chapter 22
She had once hoped for family affection, thinking the cautiousness of the Saxon family was love, but it wasn’t.
She had also hoped for romantic love, thinking Liam’s promises were love, but now she realized it wasn’t.
From Caleb, she felt what it was like to be loved, but he loved Silvia more.
She even wondered maliciously who Caleb would choose if it came down. to either her or Silvia living.
Delilah and Ryan exchanged a glance and left in silence.
The horrified look was blocked, and Luke actually felt a twinge of relief. Realizing he had been scared by a junior, he turned serious, and he immediately started cursing loudly.
“Caleb, just think about how Silvia treated you. Now that she’s been bullied and lies unconscious in a hospital bed, on the brink of death, yet you’re still defending Aria?”
Caleb’s tone was resolute. “Uncle Luke, Aria wants to sever ties with the Saxon family for 20 million. Do you really think she’d say something as outrageous as kicking Silvia out of the family? Don’t you believe random rumors from outsiders!”
Luke’s face turned serious, looking embarrassed. He stuck his neck out stubbornly. “Why not? You’ve only known her for a month. How can you guarantee she’s good behind closed doors?”
In Luke’s eyes, Silvia had taken up Aria’s identity for twenty years, so it was understandable that Aria hated her. But Silvia was innocent from start to
finish.
In his view, the bond of raising someone was more important than blood ties. His brother could compensate for Aria, but they couldn’t ignore how Silvia felt.

Chapter 22
After all, Aria was cold and heartless; it would definitely be Silvia who stayed by their side in the end.
“Uncle Luke.” Caleb was usually gentle and warm, but now there wasn’t a trace of softness on his face; it was completely covered in coldness. “I don’t ask you to treat Aria fairly or love her as much as you love Silvia. But please don’t target her. She’s my sister and a member of the Saxon family, not your enemy.” His tone carried a warning.
Luke mumbled something and finally withdrew his gaze angrily, turning to look at Silvia on the bed with concern.
Caleb picked up the phone with its broken screen. “Aria, I’ll take you to buy a new phone later, okay?”
