Xylia’s cheeks flushed a deep red.
Ever since confessing his feelings, he had been acting more and more strangely.
She red at Joshua and said, “Just hurry up and drive<b>!</b>”
After she finished speaking, she turned to look out the window and no longer looked at him.
Joshua gave a gentleugh and did not tease her further.
He started the vehicle and drove away from the restaurant entrance.

Connor sat at a window seat on the second floor of the building opposite the restaurant, watching every interaction between Joshua and Xylia. The ss in his hand was nearly crushed in his grip.
The interior of the car remained quiet throughout the journey.
Xylia gazed out the window, her expression weighed down by worries.
Joshua nced at her while paused at the wheel, his eyes somber, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
The car drove all the way <b>to </b>Norhill Central Hospital.
Upon arriving at the ce, Xylia was perplexed. ‘Are you unwell?”
Joshua looked at her. “No. You are the one who is unwell.”
Xylia felt like she had just heard ame joke.
Joshua smiled. “Let’s <b>go</b><b>.</b>”
Although Xylia did not know why Joshua was taking her to the hospital, she still went with him.
They arrived at the surgical department.
Joshua walked directly into the director’s office.
In the office were Cyrus and an unfamiliar foreign face.
Cyrus watched as the two entered, feeling somewhat pleasantly surprised. “Xylia, what brings you here?”
<b>Xylia </b>smiled.
<b>She </b>also wanted to know what she was doing there..
Cyrus appeared to deliberately ignore <b>Joshua</b>, bringing only Xylia to sit on another sofa opposite the foreign-

looking person, “Xylia<b>, </b>have a seat first. Let me get you some water.
Xylia looked toward Joshua, who stood nearby, ignored.
She furrowed her brows slightly and beckoned to Joshua. “Come and sit here.”
Joshua’s smile did not fade as he stepped forward and took a seat beside Xylia<b>. </b>
As he sat down<b>, </b>he greeted the foreigner seated opposite him. “Dr. Weiss.”
When she heard “Dr. Weiss,” Xylia’s eyes widened.

Perry Weiss was the foremost authority in the field. During her time at the hospital, Xylia was very eager tomunicate with him.
However, Perry seldom participated in academic exchanges in the country. Consequently, during her brief professional career, Xylia did not have the opportunity to engage with this eminent schr.
Perry smiled at Joshua and said, “Hello, Mr. Garcia. Thank you very much for inviting me to Norhill. Norhill is truly beautiful, and I am very fond of this ce.”
Joshua appeared to be on friendly terms with Perry. “I am also pleased that you were able toe here.”
At this moment, Cyrus brought over two sses of water, cing one in front of Joshua and handing the other to Xylia
“Thanks, Cyrus,” Xylia said.
Joshua also said, “Thank you, bro.”
Cyrus gave Joshua a cutting re. “Don’t try to im kinship with me. I’m not your bro.”
“You’ll be <b>soon</b>,” Joshua spoke as he picked up the ss of water he had just poured and took a sip.
Cyrus felt that Joshua was hinting at something.
Perry, unaware of the rtionships among the several people and assuming they were all rtives, asked, “Mr. Garcia, is this youngdy the one you wish me to treat?”
He pointed at Xylia.
Xylia looked toward Joshua in <b>confusion</b>. “Treat?”
Joshua gave her a reassuring look. “Yes, Dr. Weiss. This is Ms. Sadler, a friend of mine. She sustained injuries
to her wrist <b>and </b>ankle four months ago, and they have not healed. Given your exceptional medical expertise, I would like <b>to </b><b>ask </b>you to examine her.”
Perry nodded. “Of course, no problem. Let me take a look at Ms. Sadler’s <b>injury </b>first.”
Xylia had not yet recovered from her shock.

Instinctively, she extended her wrist for Perry to examine.
Perry pressed several spots on her hand and stated calmly. “The

tendon was carefully severed and was not surgical intervention, the deformity will

progressively worsen.”
Xylia looked at Perry with <b>pleasant </b>surprise. “Will surgery result in any long–termplications?”
Perry spoke with great confidence, “If I am the lead surgeon, I guarantee it will not ur.”
Xylia’s heart pounded.
The injuries to her wrists and ankles were a pain she could not alleviate.
Although she usually didn’tin, each <b>time </b>she picked up her paintbrush to draw and felt a faint pain in her wrist, she was still bothered by it.
She was previously a surgeon, and she had always known what happened with the injuries to her limbs.
It was just that the surgical procedure was highlyplex.
She was unable to find any doctor within the country who could perform this surgery.
She didn’t expect that Joshua actually invited Perry to Norhill.
If she was not mistaken, Joshua had specifically invited Perry to Norhill for her.
She felt a bit guilty, mixed with feelings she could not describe.
When he saw Xylia’s evident joy after learning that the injuries to her limbs could be treated, Cyrus’s lips curved slightly.
Although Xylia had just reunited with the Garcia family, deep down, Cyrus did not wish for her to marry and leave the <b>family </b>so soon.
However, he had witnessed everything that Joshua had done to help Xylia during this period.
He could tell that, although Xylia did not outwardly show any liking for Joshua, she certainly had a <b>favorable </b>impression of him.
Having recently experienced a marriage marked by trauma, it was entirely reasonable that she was unable to ept another person within a short period.
Time healed all things.
Moreover, for someone as thick–skinned as Joshua, this was not a difficult matter.
Cyrus decided not to interfere recklessly.
After discussing and finalizing the surgery time with Perry, Xylia once again encountered a difficulty.

The studio was just getting started, and orders were still backlogged. She had undergone surgery and needed time to recover. Altogether, at least three months would be needed.
Furthermore, she intended to participate in a fashion designpetition abroad next month.
She had some concerns. “Dr. Weiss, how long will you be staying in Norhill?”
Perry said. “I was invited by Mr. Garcia to travel here. I expect to stay for about a week before returning, as there are matters at the institute awaiting my attention.”
Xylia had nothing further to <b>say </b>
It would be ideal if the surgery could be scheduled after <b>the </b>fashion designpetition concludes next month.
Unfortunately, Perry did not have time.
Joshua noticed Xylia’s hesitation.
Upon leaving the hospital<b>, </b><b>he </b>asked her, “What’s wrong? <b>It </b>appears you are reluctant to undergo surgery.”
Xylia shook her head. “It is not that I am unwilling”
Shemunicated all <b>her </b>concerns to Joshua
Joshua gazed at her in silence for a long time, then asked, “I think this is not something you need to worry about.”
Xylia raised her eyes to look at Joshua, her gaze filled with confusion.
Joshua continued, “I believe you have exceptional talent in fashion design. Previously, while in Jupiton, you came out on top among a group of renowned designers. Such an achievement is not something typically expected of a novice designer. Moreover, <b>that </b>honor <b>was </b>attained before the injury on your hand had healed.”
He looked at Xylia, his gaze shining with the light of trust. “Without pain, you can better walk the path of <b>fashion </b>design, isn’t that <b>so</b><b>?</b>”
Joshua’s words gave Xylia an immediate sense of profound enlightenment.
Indeed, when it came to health,petitions and money were not important.
She knew that she should distinguish between what was important and what was less important.
