    Xylia and Hudson were engaged in a heated dispute over whether Leon’s actions were truly in Mia’s best


    interest.


    During the dispute, Connor suddenly pushed open the door to the hospital room and burst in


    Xylia’s expression instantly darkened.


    “Are you alright. Xylia<b>?</b>” Connor appeared deeply concerned about her. He hurried <b>over</b>, fine beads of sweat still breaking out on his forehead.


    Xylia <b>had </b>no intention of paying attention to him.


    Hudson immediately stood up <b>and </b>blocked Connor’s way before he could rush over. “You are not wee here. Get out!”


    Upon seeing Hudson there, Connor’s brows furrowed slightly. “Mr. Sadler, I am here to visit my ex–wife. You have no right to stop me, and moreover, in what capacity are you stopping me?”


    anymore. Aren’t


    Hudson let out a derisiveugh. “Your ex–wife? You two have nothing to do with each <b>other </b>you ashamed to keeping up and pestering her? Let me tell you: Xylia is now my sister. As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to bother her again!”


    When Connor heard that Xylia was Hudson’s sister, he looked at Xylia on the bed <b>with </b>a hint of disappointment.


    He truly hadn’t expected that, after him, Xylia would sink so low as to desperately cling to <b>men</b>, getting herself a “brother” and a sugar daddy.


    Connor’s face turned slightly livid. “Mr. Sadler, do you know what kind of person Xylia is? And yet you wanna make her your sister?”


    Hudson clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared coldly at Connor. “You have no right to talk about my sister! If you don’t leave, I won’t hesitate to throw you out myself!”


    Xylia paid no attention to the conflict between Hudson and Connor.


    She turned her head to the side to gaze at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, struggling to endure the disgust in her heart.


    She couldn’t get it—she and Connor were already divorced, so what was the point of him getting involved. with her?


    She used to think Connor was steady and dignified. Now, looking back, she realized how blind she had been back then.


    Seeing Hudson standing in front of the hospital bed and blocking the way, Connor realized that he would not be able to speak privately with Xylia today.


    He did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Xylia, who was lying in the hospital bed, “I need to handle


    something in Jupiton, and I will leave tonight.

    “Before I go, I want to tell you that even though we <b>are </b>already divorced, I will not truly abandon you.


    “If you need anything, whether financial support or otherwise, <b>I </b>can provide it. I only hope you don’t let yourself go down the wrong path.”


    He had assumed that, after saying <b>these </b>words, Xylia would be moved; even if she did not shed tears, she would <b>thank </b>him gently, just as she used to when they were together before.


    However, he waspletely wrong.


    Not only did Xylia refrain from thanking him gently, but she did not even spare him a single nce.


    She only said to Hudson, “Hudson, I am tired. I wanna rest.”


    Hudson no longer had the patience to listen to Connor’s nonsense.


    He grabbed Connor by the cor, walked toward the door, and threw him out of the hospital room with a single motion.


    Before closing the door, he warned Connor with a stern expression, “If you harass my sister again in the future, I will not be as courteous <b>as </b>I am now.”


    With that, Hudson closed the hospital room door with a bang.


    Connor stood outside the hospital room door, looking at it in disbelief.


    It was only after he processed what had happened that he btedly realized he had truly been looked down upon by Xylia.


    He clenched his fist, thinking that Xylia had only herself to me.


    Filled with indignation, he turned and left.


    Shortly after he left, Tessa appeared at the corner of the hospital room.


    She watched Connor’s departing figure, then turned her gaze to the doorway of the hospital room where Xylia was


    She gnashed her teeth in anger. ‘Sure enough, Connor hase to see Xylia!


    “Clearly, even though they are already divorced, this bitch still tries to seduce my fiance.


    ‘I must teach Xylia a <b>lesson</b>!‘


    After ten minutes, Hudson went out with the medical record, presumably to consult the doctors.


    Tessa seized the opportunity and entered the ward directly.


    Xylia assumed that Hudson had left ande <b>back</b>. She did not look up, and her gaze remained fixed on the


    livestream on her phone as <b>she </b>asked. “What did you forget to take?”


    She got no response.

    Xylia found it rather strange. When she looked up, she saw Tessa with her hair inplete disarray.


    Xylia just met her a few days ago. Now, Tessa had unexpectedly be so disheveled.


    Her hair was disheveled and hung loosely behind her. She wore no makeup, and even her clothing consisted of two randomly chosen pieces, entirelycking coordination.


    This really didn’t fit Tessa’s personality,


    Connor had just left, and now Tessa had arrived.


    Xylia was already a bit impatient. “What are you doing here?”


    Tessa looked at Xylia, whose arms and legs were encased in casts, and suddenly let out a mockingugh. “So, you <b>are </b>once again resorting to such means to win Connor’s sympathy.”


    When Tessa said ‘such means,’ she ced emphasis on it.


    She suspected that Xylia <b>had </b>deliberately arranged to be hospitalized and had a cast applied again to the site <b>of </b>her previous injury.


    She thought, ‘After Connor sees this and thinks of everything he <b>once </b>did to Xylia, he will feel guilty and, consequently, feel heartache for her. This is indeed <b>an </b>excellent strategy!‘


    Xylia had no idea what she was talking about.


    She felt that Tessa was acting like a lunatic. Having just undergone surgery, she knew <b>that </b>if Tessa went crazy and rushed <b>over </b>to hit her, she would have no chance to fight back.


    She watched Tessa warily, hoping that Hudson, who had gone to see Perry, would return soon.


    “You are not wee here. Leave immediately!” Xylia issued an order to leave.


    However, Tessa was thick–skinned.


    Despite Xylia driving her <b>away</b><b>, </b><b>she </b>even <b>took </b>two <b>steps </b>closer to the hospital bed. “Xylia, you just won’t leave me alone. Do you have <b>any </b>idea how badly you embarrassed mest time in the <b>mall</b>?”


    Tessa got extremely angry just bringing it up.


    That day, she had originally nned to distinguish herself at thatmercial performance, win Alex’s favor, and receive an invitation to y the female lead in an internal costume drama centered on political intrigue.


    <b>However</b>, she had not expected <b>that</b><b>, </b>halfway through, Xylia would suddenly appear, along with an unknown


    actress.


    In the end, she made a fool of herself at thatmercial performance.

    The brand required her to pay liquidated damages for refusing to participate inmercial performances and revoked her endorsement.


    She attempted to <b>reason </b>with Greg, but he produced surveince footage from the break room.


    If her aggressive actions were posted online, she would certainly be subjected to cyberbullying again.


    Furthermore, Mia directly <b>mentioned </b>the <b>hit</b>–and–run incident.


    Tessa did not want the matter to escte further, as it would be detrimental to her public image. Therefore, she resigned herself to payingpensation and cooperated in withdrawing her endorsement..


    But when some fans spoke out on her behalf, she could only suppress her emotions and reassure them in order to prevent her personal matters from being exposed.


    Whenever she thought about how all these things were caused by Xylia, she felt that if Xylia had <b>just </b>apologized at the time, she would not have kept pressuring her.


    As she med everything on Xylia, <b>Tessa’s </b>face was contorted with anger.


    She advanced toward Xylia step by step, her gaze so intense <b>it </b>seemed almost predatory,


    Xylia sensed that something was amiss.


    Unable to move, she turned her gaze to the bell beside her, considering that with sufficient effort, she might still be able to press it to <b>call </b>for help.


    Just as she was gently shifting toward the head of the bed. heavy footsteps were heard at the entrance to the


    ward.
