His Son, My Enemy I She was so thin she barely looked human

Chapter 338 Joshua arrived in Odell State overnight . Graham and his brother Alex had been waiting here for a while . 81 ang bá vogar area As soon as Joshua arrived , Graham said to him , " Richard and Philia ended up injuring each other pretty badly . Then , when Richard got back and realized your wife was gone , he totally lost it - he even gouged out Hall's eyes . " ' Yeah , that's exactly the kind of thing Richard would do , ' Joshua thought to himself - he wasn't even surprised . Joshua wasn't surprised at all . " Where's Richard now ? " Joshua asked .

" He's been holed up in Shaw Manor , hasn't left at all , " Graham replied . " What about Philia ? " Joshua pressed . " Richard's been going after Philia like crazy . His underground arena is wrecked, and Richard's men attacked Philia's casino too . Philia's neck - deep in trouble right now - he probably hasn't even had a chance to deal with everything else , " Graham said . Joshua nodded in understanding - he got the situation loud and clear . " I've brought Mr. Lennox's special authority with me this time .

We're finally going to eliminate Richard - he's a cancer we can't let go on any longer , " Joshua said . Graham's eyes widened in disbelief . " Quentin Lennox ? You actually know him ? " Quentin Lennox might be from Alverland , but his political pull in Daltonia was huge - way beyond anything Richard could dream of . Joshua really had that kind of connection ? Graham couldn't help but stare - he never expected his friend to know someone so influential . ' Seriously , Joshua ? We're supposed to be bros , and you kept this ace up your sleeve all this time ?

' Graham thought , half bitter , half amused . Joshua gave Graham a casual glance . " It's the first time I've ever asked him for help . He and my dad aren't exactly on good terms . " " What kind of beef ? " Graham leaned in , looking just a little bit nosy . He couldn't help but act like he was dying for some juicy gossip . Joshua just brushed him off and said nothing . " Tomorrow , let word get to Richard - if he's itching for payback , I'm right here , ready for him , " Joshua said , 10:10 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 338 55 vouchers his voice cool with a hint of challenge .

Alex frowned at Joshua . " Are you out of your mind ? You just made your escape , and now you're throwing yourself right back in ? " " That's exactly what I plan to do , " Joshua said , his tone firm . " If I don't put myself out there , I'll never lure him out and finish this once and for all . " Joshua's gaze settled on the direction of Shaw Manor . In the dim light , his eyes gleamed with a cold , ruthless intensity . Two days had slipped by in the unfamiliar villa , and Xylia was starting to feel restless .

She'd reached out to the Sadler Brothers back in Alverland to let them know she was safe . She'd also touched base with her studio team , reassuring them she was alright . With both Xylia and Josie away , Sharon had been single - handedly holding down the fort at the company . ' Sharon really deserves a bonus for this ,' Xylia thought to herself , mentally flagging the conversation about her pay raise for when she got home . But now , Xylia just couldn't focus on work or anything else - she felt restless , like nothing mattered anymore .

It'd been two days , and she still couldn't get in touch with Joshua . ' Where on earth is he ? Why isn't he answering ? ' Xylia thought , growing more anxious by the minute . But here in Daltonia , Xylia didn't have a single connection to ask about Joshua - she was completely stuck , with nowhere to turn . The bodyguards outside were even more clueless ; they'd heard nothing about Joshua's whereabouts . All Xylia could do was sit tight and wait , feeling totally helpless . Finally , Lydia showed up at the villa with a few people .

She looked paler than usual - the toll of the days was written all over her face . past few Her eyes were rimmed with red , like she'd just finished crying . When Lydia saw Xylia , she shot her a resentful look before finally speaking . " My dad told me to arrange a flight for you back to Alverland , " Lydia said , her voice trembling . " Joshua ... he's never coming back ." Xylia froze , her mind blanking as she struggled to process what Lydia had just told her .. " What ... what do you mean ? " Xylia asked , her voice shaky with confusion and dread .

Lydia's voice grew louder , her tone brimming with hurt and bitterness . 10:10 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 338 81 56 vouchers " It means Joshua is dead ! " Lydia nearly screamed , her voice cracking . " He and Richard destroyed each other in Odell State ! Not even his remains are left - he's gone for good . Joshua's never coming back ! " Xylia's mind was buzzing - everything else faded away except that one sentence : " Joshua is dead . Those words just kept repeating in her head, drowning out the rest of the world . 'No way . I don't believe it , Xylia thought , shaking her head in denial .

He'd been perfectly fine when he left . He told her to wait for him - that he'd come back . ' How could he be dead ? ' she kept asking herself , her heart racing with disbelief . " Don't talk nonsense ! " Xylia shot back , her words sharp with denial . She glared fiercely at Lydia , her anger and desperation clear in her eyes . Xylia shoved Lydia out of her way and made a beeline for the bodyguard Joshua had placed by her side . " Take me to Odell State - right now !" Xylia demanded , her words shaking with desperate urgency .

The bodyguard knew his orders were to obey Xylia without question , so he wasted no time , whisking her straight off to Odell State . Lydia just stood there and let her go . It was a two - hour journey . To Xylia , it felt like centuries had passed . Her face was so pale and her body so weak that when she finally arrived in Odell State , the moment she stepped out of the car , her legs just gave out and she almost collapsed . If the bodyguard hadn't caught her , she would have gone crashing straight to the ground .

Xylia wandered down yet another unfamiliar street , feeling even more out of place . Up ahead , she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure standing outside a shop . It was the same guy who'd saved her and Joshua when they escaped through the hillside that night . From the way Joshua spoke to him , Xylia could tell they were more than just friends - they were like brothers . Xylia shrugged off the bodyguard's help , stumbling forward and clinging onto Graham's arm like her life depended on it . Graham just about jumped out of his skin . He spun around to find Xylia - and his jaw dropped .

" Xylia ? What the hell are you doing here ? " " Where's Joshua ? " Xylia blurted out , her voice desperate with hope . She was clinging to the chance that Graham would give her an answer - anything that didn't match Lydia's grim news . 10:10 Fri , Oct 31 Chapter 338 81 156 Vouchers But as Graham met her gaze , the light in his eyes faded , sinking into a dull sadness - pity and helplessness written all over his face . " Sis - in - law , Joshua ... he ... " Graham's voice faltered , words caught painfully in his throat . " He's not dead , right ? He's in the hospital , isn't he ?

Graham , please , I'm begging you - just take me to him , please , let me see him , " Xylia choked out , tears streaming down her cheeks , clutching his arm desperately . ' It felt like someone was tearing her heart to shreds , every word Graham said stabbing deeper until she could hardly breathe from the pain , Xylia thought , as her tears kept falling . Graham couldn't hold it together - his eyes grew red and watery , threatening to spill over . He bowed his head , choking on regret as he faced Xylia . Graham lowered his head , nearly whispering as he apologized to Xylia .

" I'm so sorry , Sis - in - law . It's all my fault - if only I'd protected Joshua , none of this would've happened . Richard just snapped - he went completely insane ! He chose to go down together with Joshua , dragging him into the grave ... " Graham's voice cracked , thick with guilt and pain . ' It felt like her whole body was hollow , every ounce of strength gone , Xylia thought numbly . She loosened her grip on Graham's arm and staggered back two steps , barely able to stand . ' I don't believe it ... ' ' No ... I don't ...

' Just a couple days ago , Joshua was right there , speaking to her with that gentle voice , making her feel protected , sorting out every little detail just to keep her safe . Xylia could still see his smile in her mind , still remember the way it felt to rest in his arms - the warmth , the comfort , like she was home . He'd promised her - swore up and down he'd be back soon , telling her to just wait , that he'd come back for her . ' No , he can't be gone , ' Xylia pleaded with herself , her thoughts wild with denial . ' He promised me ...

he can't just die like that .' Xylia lunged forward , clutching Graham's arm even tighter , her voice cracking as she practically pleaded , " Take me to him ! Please , Graham , take me to him ! " Tears streamed down her face , her grip desperate , like she'd never let go unless he answered her begging . Graham couldn't refuse her - not with how desperate she looked . So he led Xylia to the place where Joshua met his end . By the side of the dead - straight road , the trees were nothing but blackened skeletons , and the ground was streaked with blood in crooked patterns .

The two totaled cars were basically just burnt - out shells , metal twisted and broken . Thanks to a massive 10:10 Fri , Oct 3 Chapter 338 explosion from spilled oil , whatever was left of the bodies was no longer even recognizable . Their remains were blown apart , pieces everywhere . 81 83 vouchers 7 Graham's eyes were red with grief as he spoke to Xylia , his voice thick with emotion . " I sent the remains to the hospital for testing . The results confirmed ... some of it belonged to Joshua ." Xylia suddenly slapped a hand over her mouth and doubled over , retching hard at the side .

Graham freaked out and hurried over , anxiously rubbing her back . " Sis - in - law , are you okay ? What's happening ? " Graham asked , concern written all over his face . But Xylia couldn't hear Graham anymore . Those words kept echoing in her mind : Joshua's body ... shattered , blown apart , nothing left . ' My Joshua ... is he really gone ? Is he never coming back ? ' Xylia thought , disbelief and pain crashing together inside her . Suddenly , everything went dark before Xylia's eyes , and she crumpled to the ground , knocked out cold .

When Xylia finally came to , the sharp smell of hospital disinfectant hit her like a punch to the gut . She felt someone holding her hand , and for a split second , her heart leaped with hope . ' Joshua , ' Xylia realized , her mind spinning with relief and disbelief . Xylia turned her head , but instead of Joshua's familiar face , she saw Eliza's red , puffy eyes staring back at her . " Xylia , you're finally awake , " Eliza said softly , her voice trembling with relief . With Eliza's help , Xylia slowly sat up , never taking her eyes off Eliza's face .

Xylia stared at Eliza for what felt like an eternity before finally blurting out , her voice shaky and desperate , " Where's Joshua ? Where is he? Why hasn't he come to see me ? " Her eyes were empty , as if she'd checked out from reality . Eliza finally broke down , and her tears spilled down her cheeks . Eliza leaned in , wrapping Xylia up in a tight hug . " Xylia , Joshua's really gone . You have to take care of yourself now - don't forget the baby , " Eliza said , voice trembling with heartbreak .
