Christopher didn’t answer Xyla’s question, but his eyes spoke volumes. It was clear that he cared for Sydney.
I swear I didn’t say anything bad about her to Mom! When Mom asked Vonnie to help investigate, I even warned Vonnie not to say a word against Sydney, and Vonnie didn’t. I really didn’t harm Sydney. Please believe me.
Seeing how anxious Christopher was, Xyla figured this had to be related to Chandra. Although Yvonne hadn’t told Chandra anything, Chandra may have already discovered something in secret considering how smart she was.
However, no one expected her to suddenly make such a move after so long. It seemed she had been holding a grudge all this time.
Xyla, you know Mom’s temper. Once she holds a grudge, the target will be in big trouble. Is there any clue you can think of that might help me find her? Christopher asked.
He fully trusted Xyla, but not Chandra.
Chris, I don’t know where she is right now. Let me try calling her.
She won’t answer your call.
What should we do then? Why don’t you use your influence to search for her? You’ll definitely find her. Don’t panic.
Xyla, how can I not panic?
Having lived half his life, he had unwittingly fallen in love with Sydney. How could he not be worried?
At that moment, a car slowly pulled up at the gate.
Christopher and Xyla turned their heads to look. The car drove in and stopped beside them.
The driver got out and opened the backseat door. Chandra gracefully stepped out, looking calm and indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
When Chandra saw Christopher, she was pleasantly surprised.
Chris, what are you doing here so late?
Christopher’s expression changed dramatically, and he rushed forward, asking, Mom, you…
Mom. Xyla stepped forward and
pulled Christopher to her side, saying, I wasn’t feeling well earlier and I just happened to mention it to Chris while we were on the phone. He was worried about me, sohe rushed over.
Is that so? Chandra quickly stepped forward and gently held Xyla’s hand. Are you alright?
I had a stomachache at first, but it’s much better now.
Why didn’t you have the driver take you to the hospital? Let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital to get checked.
It’s fine, Mom, Xyla replied.
Hospitals only handle emergencies
at night, and it’s nothing serious. I’m sure it was just from overeating, nothing to make a big fuss about.
Christopher turned to glance at Xyla. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Xyla smiled at him and gestured to him not to act impulsively.
Christopher knew what his mother was like if he pushed too hard now, she would only refuse to speak.
Had he been impulsive earlier, Sydney might have been in even more danger. Chandra always made sure her actions were thorough.
Mom, I was really worried about Xyla, but when I got here and saw she was fine, I was relieved. By the way, I called you, but you didn’t answer. I was worried, and thought something had happened. I was looking for you.
Chandra smiled. My phone ran out of battery. Don’t worry, I was just out having fun. Even though I’m almost 70, I still enjoy a bit of nightlife.
