Tricked 163

    After drinking water, Xylia felt significantly morefortable.


    She looked at the empty hospital room and <b>asked</b>, “Where are my brothers?”


    Joshua replied, “They have gone to eat and will return shortly.”


    Xylia looked at Joshua. “Have you had dinner yet?”

    “Yeah.” As he spoke, he asked Xylia, “Are you hungry? There’s stewed soup made by your housekeeper. I can heat it up for you.”


    “I don’t want to eat right now. I’ll wait a bit. With that, Xylia tried to sit up.


    Joshua helped raise her bed.


    Xylia said, “My brothers will take care of me. Why don’t you go home first?”


    Joshua, however, did not refuse.


    He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Xylia<b>. </b>‘I will leave once your brothers have returned.”


    He indeed had other matters to attend to.


    After seeing that Xylia’s surgery was very sessful, he felt reassured.


    Xylia nodded.


    After Hudson and Leon returned, Joshua left.


    Leon let out a long breath of relief. “He has finally left!”


    Hudson took the soup and dishes delivered by the housekeeper to heat up.


    Leon sat on the stool beside the bed and looked <b>at </b>Xylia. “Does your wound hurt, Xylia<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Xylia shook her head.


    Cyrus administered an analgesic to her. Even after the anesthesia wore off, she did not feel even a little pain.


    Leon only then breathed a sigh of relief. “If it hurts, tell us immediately.”


    After a moment’s consideration, Xylia finally <b>said</b>, “Guys, perhaps it would be better if you arranged for a caregiver for me. You are all very busy, and any further dy would not be ideal


    In fact, Xylia was not really afraid of disturbing them; rather, she found it awkward to be cared for by several


    grown men.


    She had a wound on her leg, which impaired her mobility.

    Although she was a biological sibling of Leon <b>and </b>the others, she thought that she and they should keep at proper distance since they were men. Things like helping her use the bathroom or wash up together were inappropriate.


    Leon did not consider these possibilities. He simply assumed that Xylia was concerned about dying their main business and waved his <b>hand</b>. “It’s okay. We’re not busy.


    Hudson said, “You are now the top priority of the Sadler family. No matter how busy we are, we must not leave you alone in the hospital.”


    Xylia had nothing further to say.


    She decided to arrange for a caregiver herself.


    Leon mysteriously leaned in close to Xylia<b>, </b>smiled, and said, “Xylia, I have something to tell you<b>.</b>”


    Xylia looked at him. “What is it?”


    Leon said happily, “I’m d I listened to you and bought those sunsses–it was really the right decision.


    Xylia beamed. “She likes them?”


    Xylia found it rather amusing to see Leon so evidently lovestruck.


    Leon’s previous on–screen persona was aloof and serious, as if, apart from acting, nothing else interested him.


    He never expected that after truly falling for someone, he would act like a lovestruck fool–just giving a gift could make him proud.


    He said proudly, “Yeah! I’ve noticed that she has been wearing this pair of sunsses over the past few days.”


    Xylia asked, “Has the filming of your romance reality show begun already?”


    Leon shook his head. “It starts tomorrow. It’s just that we’ve been seeing each other more often these p days.”

    Xylia’s interest was piqued. “Which ount? I want to watch your livestream.”


    Leon said, “I will send it to you shortly.”


    While the two were conversing, Hudson entered carrying the heated food.


    Xylia had just finished her meal when a caregiver knocked on the door and entered the hospital room. “Excuse me, are you Miss Xylia Sadler?”


    <b>Xylia </b>nodded. “That’s me.”


    The caregiver said, “I am the caregiver whom Mr. Garcia has hired for you. It should be inconvenient for your

    I will help you.”


    She couldn’t believe how considerate Joshua was.


    However, Hudson and Leon looked displeased, thinking. ‘Damn! He beat <b>us </b>again!”


    Leon left the hospital that evening to prepare for the dating reality show scheduled for the following day.


    After repeatedly instructing Hudson to take good care of Xylia, he left in haste.


    At noon the following day, Xylia found the link Leon had sent the previous day and entered the livestream.


    Upon entering<b>, </b><b>she </b>saw that nearly 200,000 people were already watching it.


    Fans from diverse backgrounds were sending bulletinments.


    The primary fan base belonged to Leon.


    Netizen A: [You got this, Leon!]


    Netizen B: [I love you, Leon! Although I can’t bear to see you in a rtionship, I’ll still support you!]


    Netizen C: [Unconditional support for Leon!]


    Netizen D: [Just imagine how happy a girl would be in a rtionship with Leon.]


    It was actually Xylia’s first time watching this type of livestream, and she found it quite novel.


    The guests had note out yet, and Hudson ced the prepared dishes on the dining table.


    “Eat while you watch.” With that, he handed the spoon to Xylia.


    Xylia thanked him, ced the phone on the small dining table, and gestured to Hudson to watch it together. “Let’s see how Leon woos his girl.”


    They looked at each other and smiled, each seeing mockery in the other’s eyes.


    At the scene of the live broadcast, Mia was the first to arrive at the vi prepared by the production team.


    <b>me </b>racing


    Dressed in a ck and gold evening gown and wearing four–inch high heels, she nevertheless came over from afar <b>on </b><b>a </b>shared bicycle.


    Her reputation in the entertainment industry was not considered particrly good.


    Whenever she appeared on screen, the real–timements were overwhelmingly abusive.


    Netizen A: [Ugh, it’s that resource–backed actress again! She and her team kept pushing for more scenes in the

    drama with my favorite actor–she’s <b>just </b>a supporting role, but she’s got more screen time than the actual female lead. I hate to see herl


    Netizen B: [Does it even matter if she’s got more scenes? Ultimately, <b>she </b>remains scandalous.]


    Netizen C: II heard she’s stirring up romantic rumors with Leon.)


    Netizen D: [No! Mia Monroe, get lost–don’te and bring trouble to Leon!]


    Netizen E: [Get Mia <b>Monroe </b>out!]


    Netizen <b>F</b>: Get Mia Monroe out!]


    Xylia looked at the barrage of insults in the livements, feeling somewhat perplexed.


    Although she had not had any contact with Mia, after these two meetings, she had a pretty good impression


    of Mia.


    Especially the second time, Mia’s heroic and spirited demeanor truly made it impossible for anyone to look


    away.


    Xylia didn’t really pay attention to the entertainment industry. She just assumed that Mia seemed to have been misunderstood.


    Mia could not see any of those bulletments.


    Obeying the director’s instructions, she entered one of the six temporary sheds constructed on the right side of the vi


    She asked, “What do I need to do now?”


    Andrew Smith, the director, said off–camera, “You are the <b>first </b>guest to arrive and therefore have the priority to select props.


    Mia looked at the six balloons on the table.


    There were three pairs of patterns on the balloon: pig, mouse, and rabbit.


    Andrew said, “The balloons contain props required for the uing activity. If a guest whoes after you selects the same prop as you, you will automatically be paired together.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Mia, in one swift motion, used her freshly manicured nails to puncture the balloon printed with a pig in front of her.


    The directing team was caught off guard and startled by the sound of the balloon exploding


    A slip of paper flew out of the balloon, with ‘kite‘ written on it.


    Mia furrowed her brows as she looked at the word ‘kite‘..


    She neither knew how to fly a kite nor enjoyed doing so.


    8:17 Thu, Sep 18 N


    Andrew said. “Congrattions on getting a kite.”


    The fans began praying in the <bment </b>section.


    Fan A: [I hope Leon doesn’t get the kite.]


    Fan B: [May Leon stay far away from Mia and not get himself into any trouble!]


    Fan C: [Leon, do not puncture the pig balloon <b>under </b>any circumstances!]


    Mia entered the vi carrying a kite.

    The next person to appear was Xander Reid, a highly popr young actor known for his adorable looks and captivating smile.


    He chose the pig balloon.
