Chapter 121

Levi narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Aunt Scarlett, you had nothing to do with this, right?” “Of course not!” Scarlett denied it immediately. “I may have wanted her to go back to the Xander house, but I’d never go as far as putting her life in danger!” Levi stroked his chin, thinking for a moment. Then, as if casually, he said, “So, you were involved in getting Miss Xander back to the family, but after that, you had no idea what happened?” “That’s… exactly it,” Scarlett responded instinctively. But the second she said it, she realized she had slipped. Too late to take it back now. Levi let out a sigh. “Aunt Scarlett, if William finds out about this, he’s definitely going to be pissed at you.” “I know…” Scarlett lowered her head, feeling wronged. “I just didn’t expect the Xander family to be this outrageous. They couldn’t even keep an eye on her properly!” “You probably thought Miss Xander left the family just because she was throwing a tantrum, didn’t you?” Levi aske

Chapter 122

After a week, the nationwide search warrant for the driver had turned up nothing, and Xena was finally released back to the Xander family. To ward off bad energy, Mrs. Xander had burned sage at the entrance, insisting that Xena walk through the smoke before coming inside.“My dear Xena, you’ve suffered so much.” Tears welled in Mrs. Xander’s eyes as she reached out to touch her daughter’s face. “You’ve lost weight these past few days.” “I’m fine.” Xena smiled and shook her head. But Shane wasn’t as forgiving. “She put you through hell in that police station, and you’re still saying you’re fine? Even after everything, you’re still defending that cold-blooded woman?” “Shane, don’t talk about my sister like that.” Xena placed a hand over her stomach, lowering her gaze with guilt. “It’s true that getting pregnant with Sean’s child was an unforgivable mistake. If this makes my sister feel better, then I have no complaints.” “You—” Shane was furious. “This isn’t somethi

“Although the suspect still hasn’t been caught, the police managed to track down a group of young people who were camping on the mountain that night. One of them is absolutely certain they saw someone at the scene.“After examining the area, the police found footprints and were able to estimate the driver’s height and weight. They’ve put together a fairly complete profile, but unfortunately, there’s no match in the national database.“There’s a high chance he’s an undocumented immigrant, which makes tracking him down extremely difficult.” As William spoke, a peeled orange segment appeared in front of him. He paused, glancing up. Layla smiled. “Mr. Lucas, you must be thirsty.” William took the orange without much thought and asked casually, “You’re really not worried?” “What’s the point of worrying? Even the police can’t find him—what, am I supposed to think I can?” Leaning back against the headboard, Layla continued, “I’m just curious. How did Xena even find that drive

Chapter 124

After hearing about Layla’s accident, Mr. Perry Sr. had called Sean to the family estate to get the full story. At the time, Sean had insisted that he had to earn Layla’s forgiveness. But it was far too late for that. Xena’s pregnancy had completely shattered Mr. Perry Sr.’s faith in him. There was no way he would allow Sean to disturb Layla ever again. So, right then and there, Mr. Perry Sr. had locked Sean in the house, forcing him to stay put. Over the past few days, Sean had gone on and on about how sorry he was, repeating his regrets so many times that Mr. Perry Sr. was sick of hearing them. Thinking about it now, Mr. Perry Sr. felt a headache coming on. “That foolish boy only learned to cherish what he lost after it was already gone. What’s the use of that?” Worried that Layla might overthink things, he quickly added, “I’m not telling you this to ask for forgiveness on his behalf. Frankly, I don’t even have the face to do that anymore.” Layla simply smiled

“If you hadn't mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten you're even pregnant.” Mr. Perry Sr. slammed his cane against the floor, his voice thundering through the hallway. “Let me make this crystal clear—no matter what, even if you give birth, you will never step foot into the Perry family!“A child born from a woman like you is no good. Even if it has Perry blood, our family will never acknowledge it!” His teeth clenched, his words dripping with contempt. “Even after I'm gone, I'll make sure my will states that neither you nor that bastard child will ever have anything to do with this family!” With that, Mr. Perry Sr. strode past Xena without so much as a backward glance. Xena stood frozen, completely stunned, until Mrs. Xander pulled her into an embrace. Snapping out of it, she looked up at her mother, tears streaming down her face. “Mom… why? Why is my sister doing this to me?“Does she really hate me this much? Ruining my life wasn’t enough—now she wants to make su

Chapter 126

Late at night, Mike stepped into the room and reported, “Xena’s still kneeling outside. The whole Xander family is here now.” The moment he pushed open the door, the noise from the hallway spilled in. Layla wasn’t deaf. She could hear everything loud and clear, including Shane’s booming voice, spewing yet another round of brainless arguments. She had expected this. The moment she decided to make Xena kneel, she knew she would have to deal with the fallout. But it didn’t affect her mood in the slightest. “Let them make a scene.” She leisurely popped a grape into her mouth. “The hospital won’t let them cause a ruckus for long. Security will step in soon enough. You all don’t need to waste your energy dealing with them.” Mike gave a slight nod. “Understood.” As he left, Levi stepped in right behind him. It was his night shift, and he was already irritated. Now, after walking through the hallway and enduring the headache-inducing shouting, his patience was wearing t

Chapter 127

As soon as Levi stepped out of the hospital room, he was startled by the scene in the hallway. The Xander family members were all pressed against the wall by William’s bodyguards, while Mike was in the middle of taping Shane’s mouth shut. It was a clear warning to the rest and none of them dared to make a sound. The once-noisy corridor fell into an eerie silence. Levi approached, placing a hand on William’s shoulder. He could feel the tension radiating off him, barely restrained. “William, this is a hospital. Just kick them out. You don’t need to get physical. It’s not a good look.” William ignored him. When he saw Xena struggling to get up to plead, his gaze turned ice-cold. “Kneel back down.” Her legs buckled instantly, and she dropped back to the floor without hesitation. Chris frowned. “Mr. Lucas, I know you’re powerful, but this is going too far—” “She chose to kneel, so she’d better kneel properly.” William’s gaze swept over the group, his tone em

Xena’s heart sank. Her instincts told her that William must have figured something out. But then, she thought again. If he really had solid proof, he wouldn’t be standing here wasting words with me. Calming herself, she showed no hint of fear. “Mr. Lucas, what exactly do you mean by that? Haven’t I made it obvious enough how much I love Sean?“To marry him, I was willing to carry the shame of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy and be labeled as the woman who stole my sister’s fiancé.”She lowered her gaze slightly, looking as if she were in deep pain. “I know what I did was wrong, but I couldn’t help myself. Mr. Lucas, love can’t be forced, and it certainly can’t be controlled.”William said nothing. Her composure was truly impressive. She didn’t let a single crack show, even when cornered. Tired of watching her put on a show, William averted his gaze and strode past her without another glance. Levi quickly followed, trailing behind him as they stepped into the on-call ro

Chapter 129

William didn’t respond. Levi didn’t dare push his luck any further and waved a hand dismissively. “Alright, alright. We’ve known each other long enough—no need to be so formal. Miss Xander is my patient. Helping her is just what I’m supposed to do.”But the truth was, he wasn’t just trying to save Layla, he was trying to save William too. If something really happened to her, he couldn’t even begin to imagine what William would turn into.Early the next morning, Levi stopped by for rounds. After checking Layla’s wounds and going over the usual precautions, he casually mentioned that he would be taking some time off. Layla looked surprised. “You’re suddenly taking time off?” “Don’t worry. Before I leave, I’ll make sure everything is set. The doctor covering for me is one of my med school juniors. I’ve given him strict instructions to keep a close eye on you.” He offered a reassuring smile. “Just keep cooperating like before, and everything will be fine.” “That’s

Chapter 130

“Obviously, Uncle William told me,” Carter said matter-of-factly. “He was worried about your mental state, so he told me to put work on hold and come back to keep you company.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Carter realized something was off. He turned to Levi, looking nervous. “Uh… Levi, was I not supposed to say that?” Levi sighed in exasperation. “Does it even matter now? You already did.”Layla frowned. “Why wouldn’t you be allowed to say it?” “Uh…” Carter hesitated, at a complete loss. He obviously couldn’t just blurt out that his uncle liked her—that was why he was so meticulous about everything.Levi stepped in smoothly. “William was just worried you’d feel too pressured.”He glanced at Carter knowingly. “I’m guessing your uncle told you to say you just happened to finish work and heard the news after you got back.”Carter immediately took the easy way out. “Exactly! That’s exactly what he told me! Levi, no wonder you’ve been friends with him for so many years
