Without saying a word, Sadie drew a small knife from her pocket and thrust it toward Xylia’s heart.

Xylia, alarmed, rolled to the side.

The small knife grazed her hair and pierced into the hospital bed mattress.

Xylia also fell off the bed due to the excessive movement while turning over,

The needle on the back of her hand became dislodged, and blood rapidly diffused into the

gauze.

She had no time to check the stinging back of her hand before Sadie attacked her again, gripping the knife,

A sudden jolt passed through Xylia’s mind, and she wanted to continue to turn over and run away.

However, she was trapped by the blanket that had slipped down, leaving her unable to move.

She watched helplessly as the small knife, glinting with silver light, stabbed toward her temple; instinctively, she closed her eyes.

As a loud crash with a bang and a woman’s cry of pain were heard, Xylia opened her eyes suspiciously.

Suddenly, Joshua rushed over and pinned Sadie against the wall, with her arms behind her back.

The police officers following behind him acted swiftly as well, stepping forward to take custody of the individual from Joshua and restraining Sadie with handcuffs.

After the police took over, Joshua quickly ran to Xylia and freed her from the quilt that had been wrapped around her.

His luminous, charming, eyes were filled with worry as he asked, “Are you injured?”

Xylia shook her head. “No.”

Joshua kept checking on her, and he noticed blood oozing from the back of her left hand.

He grasped her hand tightly, his voice tense. “No?”

Just as Xylia was about to speak, Hudson rushed into the hospital room.

He glanced around the entire room and quickly ran to Xylia.

Seeing Joshua tending to the wound on the back of Xylia’s hand, he asked with concern, “What happened exactly?”

Xylia looked at Sadie, who had been subdued by the police.

At that moment, Sadie’s mask had already been removed. She had become much thinner, and her face no longer had the firmness and elasticity it did a few months ago. Instead, her whole face was haggard, with only her bright, shining eyes remaining–eyes filled with a fierce, hateful glare.

“Xylia, it’s all your fault that I’ve become like this! Go to hell now! Drop dead!” Sadie shouted at Xylia.

If the police had not been restraining her, she could hardly stop herself from rushing at Xylia.

Hudson angled his body in front of Xylia, blocking Sadie’s view.

Sadie was quickly taken away by the police.

After two police officers remained to inquire about the situation, they also departed.

Hudson looked at Xylia, his face filled with guilt. “I’m sorry, Xylia. It’s entirely my fault for stepping out to take a phone call, which almost got you into danger.”

Hudson was full of frustration today.

Because he targeted Xavier, Xylia suffered retaliation.

Then, Xylia’s life was again threatened due to his brief absence to answer a phone call.

He kept blaming himself because he really wasn’t a competent elder brother.

However, Xylia comforted Hudson, saying, “I’m fine, Hudson. There’s no wound on my hand; the needle just fell out.”

Hudson remained silent.

Xylia then turned to look at Joshua. “Are you alright?”

Joshua helped her sit on the hospital bed and said, “What could possibly happen to me?”

Xylia said worriedly, “You struck Xavier and his associates. Did the police hold you responsible? Xavier is not an easy person to deal with; he will not let you off so easily.”

Joshua looked into her eyes, reassuring her, “You do not need to worry about this. Sadie had

Xavier drug you and abduct you, which constitutes a violation of criminal law. They have sustained minor injuries, and my situation is not serious.”

Upon hearing Joshua’s words, Xylia finally felt her anxious heart relax.

However, she had not expected that all of this was actually Sadie’s scheme.

No wonder Xavier suddenly wanted to kidnap her.

Observing the interaction between Xylia and Joshua, Hudson realized profoundly that their relationship was by no means the ordinary friendship she had described.

He was able to discern that, compared to the four brothers, Xylia was actually more reliant on Joshua.

Connor still had not received any information regarding Xylia; however, since that night, Tessa had officially moved into the Ford Mansion in Jupiton.

However, Connor and Tessa had never registered their marriage.

Tessa had urged Connor several times, both openly and discreetly, yet Connor had consistently evaded her.

Orion was only recently buried, so Connor could not marry at this time.

Tessa thought that Connor was acting out of self–interest, but she did not dare to press him too hard, fearing that such pressure might produce the opposite effect.

When Tessa first moved into the Ford Mansion, Sonny was the happiest since the mommy of his dreams was finally going to live with him.

During the first two days, Sonny was closely attached to Tessa. Each time he returned home, he would cheerfully call out her name.

Yet within just one week, Sonny experienced an indescribable sense of emotional disparity.

Now that Tessa was about to marry Connor, she was no longer as attentive to matters concerning Sonny as she was before.

In the mornings when he went to kindergarten, it was always the servants who prepared his breakfast and packed his schoolbag, while Tessa was still sleeping soundly.

When he was attending school in the past, Xylia would personally prepare his breakfast and escort him to school.

After he came home from school, Tessa was practicing in the dance studio. When Sonny came to find her, she would wave him off, signaling for Sonny to play on his own.
