Chapter 227 Your Feelings for Him
Xander stared intently at the tightly closed door. The fleeting glimpse he caught earlier gave him a strange sense of familiarity with the person inside the room. Ivana was also staring at the door.
Richie frowned slightly and tried to divert their attention. "Ivana, have some tea."
"Oh, alright." Ivana took a small sip before letting out a sigh, her gaze softening with pity as she looked at Richie.
"You poor child! I remember when you and Leslie used to visit our house all the time. Now you've grown so much, but poor Leslie ..." Her voice cracked, and tears welled up in her eyes as she lifted a hand to wipe them away. Xander pulled out two tissues and handed them to her.
Then, his eyes drifted back upstairs, his mind returning to the person Richie fought with last night.
Judging by the figure, it had been a woman-could she be the one upstairs now?
"Richard, how have you been all these years?" Ivana asked.
"Thanks for asking, Ivana. I've been doing well. I even started my own company," Richie replied politely.
"That's wonderful! Richard, you've made something of yourself! Your parents must be so proud, watching over you from above." Ivana's gaze was warm, almost motherly, as she looked at him.
"By the way, I remember seeing the hospital surveillance footage back then. Someone was trying to kill you. Do you know who it was?"
Hearing this, Isabel quietly cracked the door open again as her ears perked with curiosity.
Richie shook his head. "The ones chasing me were wearing masks and sunglasses. Their faces were completely covered. I was so desperate to escape that I didn't get a good look at them." If he had, he would've avenged Leslie and his family long ago.
The thought made Richie clench his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white.
"I'll continue looking into it. If I find anything, I'll let you know immediately," Xander said.
"Thanks," Richie replied, his tone softening slightly.
After a brief pause, Xander asked bluntly, "Was the woman from last night with you?"
"I don't know her," Richie answered.
Xander's sharp eyes scrutinized him, but Richie's face was devoid of any signs of deceit.
"Then why did you protect her?" Xander pressed, still puzzled.
Richie frowned. He had considered telling Xander it was because of the emerald guardian angel pendant the woman had worn, but that wasn't the full truth.
There was something about her that made it impossible for him to feel hostility toward her.
