Chapter 161
The brand’s internal operations were in disarray.
Hudson believed that, even if Xylia was not at fault, given how the situation had developed, he ought to make some gesture toward Greg, his friend.
He turned to Greg. “If you need any help, just let me know. The PR Department at Sadler Group is no slouch.
Greg patted Hudson on the shoulder. “I would also like to thank you for enabling me to discern the character of this spokesperson. In the jewelry industry, we value the utmost purity and integrity of character. Ms. Tessal Schultz will no longer serve as our brand’s jewelry ambassador.”
Hudson and Xylia left the lounge.
Hudson asked. “You had been looking for the celebrity named Mia Monroe just now. Why did you not greet her when you saw her?”
Xylia noticed that Hudson seemed unaware of the matter involving Mia and Leon.
She smiled slyly and said, “It’s okay. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet in the future.”
Hudson was utterly perplexed.
Seeing that Xylia’s mental state had greatly improved, he stopped worrying about Mia’s affairs..
It was time for Xylia’s surgery.
She was admitted to the hospital the previous day.
After Perry confirmed that all indicator assessments were accurate, the surgery was scheduled early the following morning.
Perry reassured Xylia, saying that he was very steady when performing surgery.
Xylia felt reassured about this.
Leon was busy, but upon learning that Xylia was about to undergo surgery, he hurried over.
When he arrived at the hospital, it was the same as before–he was wearing oversized sunglasses that concealed half of his face.
He arrived in haste without removing his makeup or styled hair, having quickly thrown on a jacket.
When he arrived at the ward, he was drenched in sweat and went straight to Xylia’s bedside. “How are you feeling, Xylia? Do you feel any pain anywhere?”
Cyrus was conducting an examination for Xylia.

Seeing Leon hurrying over and asking irrelevant questions, he slapped him on the back of the head. “The surgery won’t be done until tomorrow morning. Why would she feel any pain now?”
It was only at that moment that Leon realized it. “Oh, right, she’ll undergo the surgery tomorrow.”
Exhausted, he sat down on the hospital bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
He did not relax for even a few seconds before his heart was once again filled with anxiety. “Don’t be nervous, Xylia. I’ve heard that Dr. Weiss is very skilled–there definitely won’t be any problems.”
Xylia looked at his tense face and could not help but find it amusing. “Leon, you’re the one who’s nervous, aren’t you?”
Leon said worriedly, “Of course, I’m nervous! No matter how big or small, it’s still surgery. It is bound to hurt. How are you going to get through the recovery period?”
As he spoke, Leon turned to Cyrus, his expression fierce. “Cyrus, after the surgery, you must help relieve Xylia’s pain. Don’t let her suffer.”
Cyrus shot Leon a glance. “As if I wouldn’t know that.”
Xylia felt a gentle warmth in her heart.
She had developed a reduced sensitivity to pain. During her three months in prison, she endured daily torture, and the wounds on her wrists and ankles were repeatedly injured.
She was not afraid of pain.
However, she was deeply moved by the concern shown by her family.
When Joshua arrived, Leon had just hurriedly left, and he promised that he would definitely be outside the operating room tomorrow morning to cheer for Xylia
When Xylia saw Joshua enter, that inexplicable emotion surged within her once again.
She wanted to ask him about what exactly happened back then, but she seemed to have no reason to do so.
Cyrus still had patients to see, so he left the ward.
Before leaving, he walked up to Joshua and looked at him with a smile. “Mr. Garcia, if you have time later, let’s have a chat.”
Joshua nodded.
Cyrus then left.
Joshua placed the supplements he brought on the table.
Upon seeing the supplements, Xylia could not help but make a playful remark. The surgery hasn’t even started yet, and you’ve already brought supplements?”

Joshua smiled. “It’s always good to take precautions before trouble arises.”
Xylia got off the hospital bed, walked to the sofa in the hospital room, and sat down.

She got a glass of water for Joshua. “What have you been up to these past days?”
Joshua raised his eyebrows and looked at Xylia. ‘Starting to care about me? Have you thought it through?”
Nylia knew what Joshua was asking.
She was drinking water and did not respond to him.
Silence was her camouflage.
Joshua did not press her for answers. Tll come over tomorrow morning. Don’t be nervous.”
Xylia put down her glass. “Don’t bother. My brothers will all be here. Just focus on your own business.”
“Ms. Sadler, I want you to be clear about one thing,” Joshua’s sudden serious expression left Xylia somewhat puzzled.
She frowned and looked at him.
Joshua said calmly, “Since I am currently at the stage of wooing you, no matter how busy I am, I still need to work on winning favor with you and your brothers.”
Xylia pressed her lips together, somewhat at a loss for words.
The way he spoke and acted now was really too reckless.
After spending some time in the hospital ward, Joshua went to see Cyrus.
Cyrus got straight to the point. “Mr. Garcia, before you get together with my sister, I hope you will clear any unresolved issues or problematic people around you. I don’t want Xylia to suffer any harm.”
Joshua’s eyes darkened. “Has she been targeted?”
Cyrus answered, “I’m not sure, but you should know that as long as the root cause of the trouble remains unresolved, she will always be in danger.”

Joshua was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I will arrange for my men to protect her in secret. As for the possible danger, I will handle it.”
Cyrus looked at him with an expressionless face. “The Sadler family will assume full responsibility for Xylia’s personal safety. You only need to keep your distance from her now.”
Joshua now understood the purpose of Cyrus wanting to talk to him.
He looked at Cyrus, and a faint smile curved at the corner of his lips.
Joshua did not answer Cyrus directly but said, “Rest assured, even if I lose my life, I will not allow anything to
