Chapter 1082
Mr. Mayweather turned his head and asked with a slightly puzzled expression,” May I know…” Xyla faltered. “He is… an investor of our crew. He must’ve come to pay me a visit.”
Everything clicked for Mr. Mayweather in an instant.
Yorrick nodded politely toward Mr. Mayweather. “Mr. Mayweather, it’s my honor to finally meet you.”
Mr. Mayweather smiled politely and scrutinized him from head to toe. “You’re not from around here, aren’t you? I haven’t seen you in showbiz before this.”
Yorrick grinned. “Yes, I’m indeed not a local.”
Xyla was worried that Yorrick would be exposed and quickly suggested, “Dad, don’t you still have work to do? There’s no need for you to stay here with me as I have Mindy by my side. So go home first, and tell Mom I’m fine. I’ll be discharged after a few days’ rest.”
Mr. Mayweather wanted to say something, but his daughter kept trying to drive him away, so what else could he say? He was already relieved after verifying that his daughter was safe and sound.
“Okay, okay, I’ll leave. You focus more on resting and recuperating. I’ll come to visit you with your mother in two days.” Upon saying that, Mr. Mayweather also bid Yorrick goodbye and then left the ward.
After her father left, Xyla leaned back on the head of the bed. “Mr. Hathaway, call me beforehand and give me a heads-up before you come next time.”
Yorrick squinted slightly. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that your father will find out about our relationship?
“Of course! What if my father misunderstands us?” Yorrick crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, staring at her for a moment.
Xyla felt puzzled. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
He laughed. “You’re the first woman that I know of who doesn’t want to have anything to do with me.”
Xyla flipped her long hair backward and chuckled. “Are you trying to tell me that you’re usually a man that sells like hotcakes? But even if you are, I don’t care about that.” Yorrick walked to the bedside, leaned over, and propped his hands against the mattress next to Xyla’s arm.
Xyla ducked back subconsciously. “What are you doing?”
“I—” Yorrick was about to say something when Louis and Ryleigh appeared at the door.
Ryleigh was shocked. “Huh?”
