Three days later…
Xyla Quest was finally allowed to leave the hospital. She had undergone several intensive and strict medical examinations to confirm that she was healthy.
It was very early in the morning and Rebecca Robin had sent Noah Smith to help Xyla with the hospital discharge process.
Georgie Clementine, on the other hand, had brought along some additional hands to help move Xyla’s belongings into the car.
By the time the discharge procedures were done, all of Xyla’s belongings had already been safely moved into the car. Noah carefully pushed Xyla—who was sitting in a wheelchair—out of the hospital’s main door and helped her get into the car.
While all this was happening, Catherine Batton was observing the scene play out through a live video feed. The camera she was watching through displayed the front of Xyla’s patient room in the hospital.
Squinting her eyes, she watched as Noah slowly pushed a wheelchaired Xyla out of the room.
Catherine frowned when she saw Noah's face.
He had been visiting her sister-in-law every day, and each of his visits lasted for long periods of time.
Aside from him, no other male had visited Xyla in the hospital.
Today, Xyla was being discharged and he was the one who arrived to pick her up. All of this was way too coincidental for Catherine.
This b*astard was definitely the third wheel between her brother and sister-in-law!
She stopped the live video immediately after the thought and ran a hand across Noah’s face on the screen. “You b*astard… I’ll definitely make sure you pay. My mother is good friends with yours. You’re gutsy but dumb to even dare to steal my sister-in-law from my brother.”
With that, she angrily gave Noah a call on her phone.
On the other side of the story, Noah picked up his vibrating phone.
“Noah Smith! There’s something we need to talk about in private.” Her tone made it clear that this was an order and not a suggestion.
Noah was stunned for a moment but after a few seconds, he replied. "You're… back? When did you come back?"
“That’s none of your business. Make sure you follow the order.”
