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

Chapter 88 Xylia left Ford Mansion , carrying her suitcase . A familiar Volkswagen was parked at the entrance . Xylia looked up and saw Joshua leaning against the car door . Seeing her come out , Joshua smiled and looked at her . " I'm afraid you can't carry these things , let me help you ." Xylia had just faced some grievances inside , and seeing a familiar face made her eyes well up with tears . Joshua furrowed his brow slightly , walked over , and stood in front of her . " What's wrong ? Did they bully you again ? " Xylia shook her head , smiling .

" I'm just so happy ." Joshua carefully observed her , noticing her slightly trembling legs . He furrowed his brow but said nothing . " Get in the car . I'll take you to the apartment . " Xylia didn't refuse . She let Joshua load her luggage into the car , then climbed into the front passenger seat . As the sun set , the winding mountain road was bathed in the orange - red glow of the sunset , casting a warm hue on the silver guardrails along the roadside . Xylia opened the window , and the breeze that slipped in carried a sense of freedom .

Although her knee still hurt a bit , she felt a rare sense of peace . After dropping her off at the apartment , Joshua left . Xylia didn't immediately unpack . Instead , she sat on the sofa , gently rubbing her knee . Ziggy's earlier strike had caught her off guard . But thankfully , there were no serious injuries . The phone rang . Xylia glanced at the screen , her gaze shifting slightly . She answered , and a low , gentle male voice came from the other end . " Xylia , the items you sent have arrived , and I've placed them in your room ." " Thank you ," Xylia said .

" In less than a month , it will be your return date . We'll come to pick you up then ," her brother said . " No need . I'll come back on my own . Just send me the address , " she said . " Alright ," came the reply . After hanging up , Xylia sat on the sofa , her phone in hand , her expression distant . She had agreed to return home and reconnect with her family . But she wasn't sure if her family would truly accept her . After all , her brother had contacted her years ago , but at that time , she had wanted to build a life with Connor and had refused to go back .

12:05 Mon , Sep 15 Chapter 88 : " Where are you going ? " A sudden voice from the doorway startled Xylia . When she saw that it was Joshua , she let out a sigh of relief . " You scared me , " she said . 44 10 vouchers Joshua , carrying a plastic bag , walked over to the armchair beside her and sat down . He stared at her face , waiting for an answer . Xylia explained , " As I mentioned to you before , I have found my family , so I have to leave . " " Not coming back ? " Joshua asked . Xylia shook her head .

" There's no family for me in Jupiton , so I probably won't return ." Joshua's expression darkened . Xylia asked him what was wrong , but he didn't reply . Instead , he opened the plastic bag , took out a bottle of pain - relief ointment . " Extend your leg ," he said . Xylia was surprised . " What ? " Joshua had already lost his patience . He grabbed her ankle and rolled up her pant leg to her knee . Xylia instinctively pulled her foot away , but Joshua quickly grabbed it . " Don't move . " Xylia's knee was exposed , covered in bruises that looked painful .

Joshua poured the ointment onto his hands , rubbed it until it was warm , then gently placed his palm on Xylia's knee , massaging the bruises with care . He half - knelt on the living room floor , his silver hair falling to cover his eyes . He looked serious , his sleeves rolled up to reveal his toned forearms . Xylia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed . " I'll do it myself ." She tried to take the ointment , but Joshua dodged her hand . " I'll take you to Rachel tomorrow . You must have gotten hurt quite a bit while staying at the Ford family's place ," he said . " I'm fine ," Xylia replied .

" Your face is still marked with red bruises . How can you say you're fine ? " he said . Xylia instinctively touched her face . This was hit by Connor today . Joshua must have seen the livestream , and she felt a little awkward . Luckily , Joshua didn't say anything more . After applying the ointment , he just gave her a few words of advice . During this time , he answered a phone call . After hearing something from the other end , his expression darkened . " If you're busy , you can leave now . I can take care of this myself , " Xylia said . Joshua did not refuse .

" I have ordered food for you . Finish tidying up and rest early ." With that , he hurriedly left . Xylia bit her lip . Joshua was so considerate , which surprised her a little . After tidying up , Xylia lay down on the bed , finally falling into the most peaceful sleep she had had in a long time . Meanwhile , in stark contrast to Xylia's relaxed mood , the Ford Mansion seemed heavy with an oppressive air . Connor sat on the sofa in the living room , while Sonny knelt on the floor . The boy kept glancing up at his father , his eyes full of unease . Connor's expression was dark .

" Dad , didn't you promise to find me a new mom ? " Sonny asked . " Shut up ! " Connor's deep voice rang out , fierce and authoritative . Sonny , frightened , shrank back , his eyes reddening . " Did you invite your mother to the school anniversary celebration ? " Connor asked . Sonny lowered his head , softly muttering , " Yes . " " Did you invite Tessa too ? " Connor added . Sonny lowered his head even further . He knew lying was wrong , but he just wanted Tessa to be his mother as soon as possible . Connor slapped the table , and Sonny jumped in fear . " Who taught you to lie ?

Did you set your mother up to be humiliated ? You made Tessa face controversy at the school celebration . Are you getting bolder ? " " You taught me to lie . When you asked me to lie at the police station to frame mom , wasn't that lying too ? " Sonny timidly replied . Connor wanted to argue but was at a loss for words . Sonny walked over , interlaced his fingers with Connor's , and said , " Dad , now that you're divorced from mom , can Tessa be my new mom ? " Tessa said you and mom must be really sad and asked me to comfort you both . But I don't like my mom .

I really hope Tessa can become my new mom ." Connor looked down at his son , who resembled him so much , and his heart softened . He picked Sonny up in his arms . " Your mom will always be your mom , no matter what . " " I don't care ! I don't want her to be my mom anymore ! " Sonny shouted . Connor lost his patience and handed Sonny to a servant . " Rest early ." The servant carried Sonny away . Connor sat back on the sofa , rubbing his brow . His phone rang , and he answered an unknown caller . 12:05 Mon , Sep 15 Chapter 88 " Hello , are you Xylia Schultz's husband ?

" the voice on the other end asked . 12:07 Mon , Sep 15 Chapter 89
