Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 207

At the same time, Hendric, who was on a business trip, took a flight back to the country and made a dash to the hospital as soon as the plane landed.

When he saw that Xavier and Melissa were fine in the VIP patient room, a wave of relief washed over him.

“D–Dad, you‘re f–finally here.” When she saw her father, Melissa burst into tears as her fragile heart was crushed after having her lege injured.

At the sight of her tear–stained face, his heart throbbed in pain. The family had always treated her as the apple of their eyes, yet she was now injured.

Placing his briefcase aside, he strode over and lifted the quilt to take a look at her condition. “How do you feel? What did the doctor say?”

“Sobs. I–I have to rest for at least three months. It hurts, Dad,” whined the pale–faced girl whose voice was choked up. The sheer sight of her forlorn state would have caused anyone to feel sorry for her.

Attempting to comfort her, Hendric patted her shoulder. “As long as you‘re alright. Don‘t worry about it. You‘ll recover soon. Speaking about it, the Kings Family have gone overboard this time!”

Having said that, he glanced at Xavier with an icy gaze before making his way toward his bed. Ever since Hendric had entered the room, Xavier had been phubbing with his head low in a languid manner. In truth, he actually listened attentively to the conversation just now.

They were all Hendric‘s children, yet he only had his eyes on a few of them and there would never be room for Xavier.

Such thoughts fleeted across Xavier‘s mind before a slap landed on his face at the very next second. Feeling the stinging pain on his cheek, he looked sideways.

Because of last night‘s incident, not a part of his body was free of blemishes. He was badly bruised; even his face was beaten black and blue.

Despite that, neither did Hendric comfort him nor did he ask for the cause. Instead, he straight up landed a slap on Xavier‘s face.

“Dad, what are you doing? He had nothing to do with this.” Even Melissa was taken

aback by the sudden hit that she voiced our her brother‘s innocence

“Hmphille is your incompetent brother who can‘t take good care of yout” Hendric‘s chest heaved heavily in wrath.

Hearing that, Xavier snorted in ridicule. Though his check hurt, he did not lift a finger to massage it; he poked it with his tongue instead. As he flashed a contemptuous smile, his face was glaring with disgust.

What a ‘good‘ father I have here.

“Dad, it‘s not Xavier‘s fault. It‘s all because of that b*tch, Veronica Murphy!”

She and Veronica got along well at the beginning, but the relationship took a turn after she had witnessed Veronica‘s ruthless side with her own eyes. The seedling of hostility sprouted in her overnight.

“It‘s her! It‘s all because of her! She took the gun and hurt us! D–Dad, Xavier is innocent!” Melissa explained while tears were wetting her cheeks.
