Chapter 1142
“Yes.” Maisie nodded.
“Maisie.” Xyla was standing in front of the door. She was wearing a dress from the man’s daughter. Although it did
not go very well with her body size, she still looked rather good in it.
Xyla came forward and said to the bearded man. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sullivan. She’s my friend.”
Sullivan nodded. Then, he went away to do his own stuff with his cigarette in between his lips.
Xyla pulled Maisie into the house.
Although the house was not as luxurious and spacious as those rooms in the mansion, it was clean. There was a
young boy and an old woman in the house other
than them.
“Hi,” Maisie greeted them, and the boy waved his hand back at her shyly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, the old woman did not give Maisie any response, as if she did not get what she said.
Xyla came forward and said, “She’s Mr.
Sullivan’s mother. She’s deaf.”
Maisie was stunned. Something crossed her head, and she turned around to look at her. “Yorrick thought you’re
dead. Can you tell me what happened?”
Xyla was stumped for a moment before she lowered her head. “Do you know Ms. Nix? Yorrick’s fiancee? She
abducted me and wanted to humiliate me. I thought I was going to die as well.”
She sat on the couch and ran her finger across the wound on her shoulder that had been treated. “Mr. Sullivan
saved me.”
The Nixes had ties with the underworld, and Sullivan had worked for the mafia when he was young. The Nixes had
killed his daughter when she was 18.
Mandy had been the main culprit.
Sullivan’s daughter had been studying in the same school as Mandy. Sullivan’s daughter had offended Mandy, so the
latter arranged for her to receive Xyla’s treatment. She had found someone to violate Sullivan’s daughter, and an
accident happened. Sullivan’s daughter ended up dead, so Mandy made it look like she had killed herself.
Sullivan could not believe that his daughter had killed herself, so he looked into the matter himself. In the end, all
the evidence pointed to the Nixes, but the local police dared not to take any action. After all, the Nixes had a lot of
influence in the area, and they were connected to the underworld, so the police didn’t want to get themselves into
trouble.
Since nobody wanted to help Sullivan, he had no other choice but to swallow his humiliation and become a
bodyguard for the Nixes while looking for a chance to avenge his daughter. When Mandy abducted Xyla, Sullivan
was there. Just as she had been under the impression she was a goner. Sullivan suddenly attacked Mandy.
Xyla rubbed her forehead and said, “I just remember Mr. Sullivan threw a jacket at me so that I could put it on. He
asked me to get a cab and go to the address he gave me. I was scared and didn’t want to return to the hotel, so I
came here. Mr. Sullivan’s mother took care of me. She treated my wound and gave her granddaughter’s dress for
me to put on.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXyla still couldn’t help but shudder when she thought about that scene.
Maisie grabbed her hand and asked, “Are you not going to tell Yorrick that you’re still alive?” Xyla lifted her head to
look at Maisie. She fell silent for a few seconds before averting her gaze. “It was his fiancee and mother that put
me in my current situation. I won’t have an easy life if I stay in Yaramoor.
Since he has already let me go, I… I should just leave.”
“He’s been hospitalized.” Maisie looked at her, the corner of her lips curving up a little. “He was ambushed when he
went to save you. He thought you’re dead, and he’s heartbroken.”
Xyla was stunned. “He’s heartbroken?”
Maisie nodded. “I heard that he’s having some kind of mental issue. It seems like your death has hit him pretty
hard.”
She looked at Xyla, who kept her head low in silence, and added, “Maybe he really does care for you.”
When Maisie returned downtown, Nolan was waiting for her in the hotel. After entering the room, the first thing that
welcomed her gaze was his back. He was standing in front of the ceiling-to-floor window.
She went forward and hugged him from behind. “Honey.” “Are you done with your affairs?” Nolan grabbed her
wrist, turned around, and
secured her in his arms. “You went to see Xyla, right?”
