Joshua’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xylia with feigned confusion. “Why do you ask? You know I’m the Garcia family’s driver, right?”

Xylia closely observed Joshua’s face. His features were still strikingly beautiful, and his expression and gaze seemed completely sincere.

Xylia felt she might have been overthinking it. There was something about Joshua’s demeanor that struck her as unusually noble, something that reminded her of Connor, but even more so.

So whenever Joshua and Connor were together, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Joshua might not be an ordinary person.

But his experiences abroad had made her push this thought away, time and time again. “It’s nothing. I just feel like your demeanor doesn’t match that of a driver.”

Joshua smiled slightly. He sat on a single armchair, his arm resting on the armrest, his charming eyes lifting with a playful glint.

“What kind of demeanor do you think I have?” His voice was deep and smooth, with a hint of warmth.

Xylia cleared her throat, trying to shift the subject. “You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I made some, let’s eat together.” She quickly hurried to the kitchen, almost escaping the conversation.

Joshua looked at her cute back and smiled slightly.

After breakfast, they both headed to Jones Health Center. Just as they arrived, Joshua’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and his relaxed expression immediately turned serious.

He looked at Xylia. “Go inside and find Rachel, I’ll catch up with you soon.”

Xylia assumed he had something important and nodded. Joshua walked off, holding his phone.

Xylia went inside and headed straight for the office but was stopped by a staff member. “Hi, are you here for a consultation or to buy medicine?”

“I have an appointment with Dr. Rachel Jones,” Xylia replied.

“But Dr. Jones is out right now,” the staff member said.

Before the staff member could say anything more, a mocking voice came from behind. “Xylia, if you’re going to lie, at least make it believable.

“Rachel is from a famous traditional medicine family in Jupiton. Even if you were a renowned surgeon, there’s no way you’d know her, right?”

Xylia turned around and saw Tessa and Connor walk in. Connor had just left her apartment and was now here

They walked right up to Xylia. Tessa was still holding Connor’s arm, leaning into him slightly, her weight resting on him. The two looked very close.

Seeing Xylia’s gaze, Tessa quickly offered an explanation. “Don’t misunderstand. It’s just that you made me sprain my foot again yesterday. With the new injury on top of the old one–and I’m the lead dancer–my feet are everything to me, so I have to get it checked.

“Rachel is a well–known traditional medicine doctor in Jupiton, and Connor helped me secure an appointment. That’s why I’m here. But I’m surprised to see you, Xylia. Are you here to apologize to Connor?”

Tessa implied that Rachel’s appointment was something only Connor could have arranged, and there was no way Xylia could have booked a renowned doctor like Rachel. So, Xylia must be here to apologize to Connor.

Connor recalled how, just earlier at her apartment, Xylia and Joshua had teamed up to deal with him. Maybe Xylia came here to apologize because she was worried he was angry.

He let out a small hum, tilting his head slightly in a way that was meant to make him look imposing.

Xylia thought Tessa was crazy. “Narcissist.”

Xylia turned to the staff member. “Can I wait for Rachel in her office?”

“I’m afraid not. Dr. Jones’s office isn’t open to just anyone,” the staff member responded firmly.

Connor looked at Xylia, his patience running out. “Can you stop embarrassing yourself all the time? Do you really think Dr. Jones will see you just because you ask?

“You could just apply some medicine to your injuries and be done with it. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?”

Tessa leaned on Connor, moving her sprained foot slightly, letting out a soft hiss that made Connor look down at her with concern. “What’s wrong?” Connor asked.

“It’s nothing. My ankle just hurts a little when I move it,” Tessa replied.

Connor frowned. “You need to dance later. If your foot gets ruined, your whole career could be over.”

Xylia sneered. It seemed like he understood the consequences of a ruined foot, but when he delayed her treatment at the hospital, he clearly didn’t care about those consequences.

Connor suddenly turned to look at Xylia. “You’re the one who caused Tessa’s foot injuries both times. Don’t you have anything to say?”

Xylia smiled lightly. “What should I say?”

“Apologize,” Connor demanded, his tone harsh.

Xylia raised her bruised wrist in front of Connor. “Then Mr. Ford, don’t you think you owe me an apology?”
