Chapter 131

I didn't understand what Kevin meant by saying that I had no worries, and I didn't reply anything to that because I was really annoyed now. Not long after that, I got up and went to sleep in the bed.

Last night, Shawn and I had made love on this bed for many hours, and the smell still lingered in this room. As I flopped on the bed, I soon fell asleep and was woken up by the sound of thunder outside at 4 a.m.

After that, I couldn't fall asleep anymore, and lay in bed with my eyes wide open and my heart abnormally at ease. Finally, at 7.00AM, I got up and boiled some water to have my tonic before going to the hospital.

First, I went to visit Jim, who was still unconscious, and when I recalled the things he told me yesterday, my heart was filled with frustrations from unanswered questions.

Next, I visited Francesca, and she looked much better now. However, because Leon was always there, she appeared less chatty.

On the other hand, Leon's recent behavior was pretty okay; he always accompanied Francesca even when she gave him the evil eye as he hung around shamelessly and refused to leave.

Then, I went to the ICU to visit her baby. Only then did she tell me that she had named her child after her aunt, Tamara Gant, because they were born on the same day.

The baby would be taking after her family name, but Leon had no opinion about that, which was unquestionable. After all, Francesca had risked her life to save this baby, so what did the baby have anything to do with him?

Despite that, he must feel very disappointed on the inside because Francesca didn't forgive him until now.

I stayed a while in the hospital and then left. As I was free, I decided to make a trip to the company, and Gary was surprised when he saw me coming.

"President Felix, I was just about to call you," he said.

Puzzled, I asked, "What happened?"

"Regarding Quinn, she is confirmed to be deported and won't appear in the country anymore. Also, the Yates keep wanting to have an appointment with you."

"You mean Old Master Yates, Benedict?"

"Yes, he kept asking to meet you."

More than a couple of times had Benedict asked to meet me, but I'd turned him down through Gary, and I did the same again this time.

The feud between the Yates and I could never be resolved. Moreover, Alice even got someone to hypnotize Nicholas.

She caused all the agony he had now, and not only would I not meet them, I would even finish them off, but just not now.

Once Benedict had completely retired into the background, the Yates Family would become my prey, and this was the last mercy I showed them.

From the company, I went home and stayed in bed. Just like that, another day was gone, but my heart kept thinking about Shawn, wondering if he would be injured again this time when he returned to the Xenos Manor.

He didn't show up for the next few days and didn't even call me. Meanwhile, Jim's condition was getting better.

When I revisited him, he was already conscious and had a clear head even though he was still unable to speak. He kept holding my hand to write something, and I studied it for a long time before I finally recognized the characters.

"Mon?" I asked in confusion.

Jim nodded in excitement and continued to finish the word. This time, I was quick to read it.

Montreal.

Filled with bafflement, I asked, "You want me to go to Montreal?"

Again, he nodded and wrote another word on my palm. It took me a while until I knew he meant 'Santorino'.

Still, I couldn't figure out what this meant, and he couldn't explain it when I asked, either. Hence, I left the hospital sadly.

Finally, as I stood at the hospital entrance, I stared at the gloomy skies for a long time without any answers until a soft, elegant voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hello, Ms. Felix. I'm Kiara Xenos."

Startled by the voice, I raised my head and saw a woman in a Gibson dress standing not far from me without me realizing. She looked like a gentle person and carried a smile on her face like a typical young mistress of a wealthy family.

She was the woman Shawn, and I ran into that rainy night when he brought me into the Xenos Manor yard. The green bangle was still on her wrist, and she appeared very elegant and demure.

Since her last name was Xenos, she must be from the Xenos Family and Shawn's sister. Extending my hand, I greeted her. "Hello."

"What a coincidence to run into you here."
