Xavier had already heard from Tyler that Jim’s wife spelled trouble. Judging by Jim’s current state, this was far more than a simple argument.
He pointed at Sasha and the man standing beside her. “You two wait here. I’ll call his daughter. Right now, the patient’s condition is too delicate. We can’t just let anyone in to visit.”
With that, Xavier quickly picked up his phone and dialed Rachel’s number.
Sasha rushed to stop him. “Doctor, don’t call her! We just came to visit. We didn’t do anything to him. Besides, Rachel’s been busy these days. She doesn’t have time to deal with her father’s affairs.”
But Xavier stood firm. “Sorry. The family gave strict instructions that every visitor had to be accounted for. If they come back and make trouble for us, we’ll have no way to explain.”
Hearing that, Sasha let out a cold chuckle. “You doctors really don’t know how to talk! Rachel counts as family but I, his wife, don’t? I’m visiting my husband–what’s wrong with that? Who do I need permission from?”
Since Rachel didn’t pick up, Xavier could only call Tyler instead. There was no telling what Sasha might have already done to Jim.
Thankfully, Tyler answered right away.
“Come to the hospital, now,” Xavier told him.
In less than ten minutes, Tyler arrived. Just as Sasha was about to slip away from the room in a hurry, he
blocked her at the door.
Although Tyler was still recovering from his injuries, the aura he carried was unlike that of ordinary people. Sasha couldn’t withstand his intense gaze.
She instinctively looked away before turning her gaze back toward Xavier. “Why did you call Mr. Hunt
here?”
Xavier replied matter–of–factly, “He’s Ms. Lloyd’s boyfriend now. Since I couldn’t reach Ms. Lloyd, of
course I called him.”
Sasha was furious. “What kind of hospital is this? You’re really something! So I, his wife, am suddenly an
outsider? What are you people trying to do?”
Xavier couldn’t bring himself to argue further, but Tyler could.
He stepped right up to Sasha, his sharp features carrying an almost aggressive force. “Do I really need to remind you of what you and Yvette tried to do to Mr. Lloyd before?”
The implication was clear. If they were being so cautious around her, surely she knew exactly why.

Sasha pouted. “We didn’t actually do anything to him.”
Tyler laughed sarcastically. “So what you’re saying is, unless you kill him outright, you don’t think it
counts as doing something?”
Sasha glanced back at the weak, exhausted Jim. “I didn’t kill him, did I? What are you getting at? What,
are you planning to be like Rachel and throw me in jail too?”
