Maisie was stunned. She lifted her head and looked at him with a smile on her face. “How did you
know?”
Nolan scratched the tip of her nose and said, “I knew it from the moment we found out that dead body
was Mandy.”
Maisie lowered her head but did not say anything.
She guessed Sullivan wanted to avenge his daughter, so he had treated Mandy the same way she had
treated his daughter to get back at her.
“The Nixes won’t let it go, will they?” she asked.
Nolan chuckled. “There’s nothing they can do even if they don’t want to let it go. If one
of their enemies killed Mandy, they wouldn’t dare to make any moves since they don’t know who their
opponent is. Besides, do you think Yorrick will let them have their way?”
Maisie found a comfortable spot in his arms and played with the button on his shirt. “Then Yorrick should
know that Xyla is still alive, right?”
Nolan carried her to the couch and kissed her with a gentle smile on his face. “That’s his business. It isn’t
something we should worry about.”
Two days later…
Xyla came to the hospital, but there was no one in the ward. She asked the nurse, “Do you know where
the man who stayed here a few days ago is?” “So. you’re the one Mr. Hathaway talked about.” The nurse
smiled as if she knew something. “Mr. Hathaway was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and he told
me to give you this letter if you came here to look for him.”
The nurse gave a letter to Xyla.
Xyla was stunned. She took over the letter, and the nurse left.
She walked to the bench and took her seat. She opened up the envelope, and the letter was filled with
Yorrick’s handwriting.
“If you’re reading this letter, it means you’re here. If not, it means you’ve left Yaramoor. I’m sorry. I was
the one who brought you here against your will, but I couldn’t protect you well. I was traumatized by
Sharon’s death, and my heart died after her passing. I thought I would never fall in love with any woman
anymore. You’re right. I was the one who approached you first. I should’ve put an end to all of this, but
seeing how naive and innocent you are, I just… I just couldn’t help myself but go out of my way to get
closer to you.
I’m sorry. I didn’t want to admit that you indeed have attracted me, so I could only keep on denying
myself in an extreme way. However, when I thought the person who died was you, I have to confess that
I have fallen for you. But the person who made you suffer all this harm is me, so I won’t stop you from
leaving if you want.
Whether you read this letter or not, I hope you will have forgotten everything about me if you live a happy
life. I don’t want to become an obstacle to your pursuit of a happy life. If you’re leading an unhappy life,
don’t forget that someone is waiting for you in a distant foreign country.” When she saw the word
“Yorrick” on the bottom left corner of the letter, a drop of tear blurred the word. Xyla lifted her head, and
her eyes were red around the rims. She tried to hold back her tears but to no avail.
She covered her mouth with her hand and let out a laugh. Then, she broke down, and tears fell out of her
eyes like broken beads, blurring the paper she had crumpled.
Soon, Xyla came out of the hospital and put on her sunglasses. She stood in front of the entrance for a
while, calmed herself down, flagged a cab, and went away.
Nolan and Maisie were having a meal in the restaurant. She rested her chin on her hand, looked toward
the outside through the window, and sighed. “Do you think Xyla will go to see Yorrick?”
Nolan chuckled. Gripping the foot of the glass, he shook it slightly and said, “Unless she has a thing for
Yorrick too.”
Maisie picked up the knife and cut the steak. “You’re right. If Xyla doesn’t have a thing for Yorrick, she
will probably not go to see him.”
Nolan took a sip of wine and lifted his brow. “Who knows.”
At that moment, Maisie received a text message on her phone. After reading the message, she sighed.
“Just like we expected. Xyla has returned home.”
