Chapter 2459


    "C—Can I?"


    Yannie lowered her head to stare at Riley''s smiling face and blushed.


    "If Riley''s parents decide they don''t want her anymore, she''ll officially be you and Mr.Lynch''s


    daughter, Ms.Luna...so how can someone like me be her godmother? When she grows up and learns


    who I am..."


    Surely Riley would not want to be associated with someone like her? Luna could not help curling her


    lips into a smile when she saw the look of self-doubt in Yannie''s eyes.She gently patted her shoulder


    and said, "She won''t.You''d be perfect as Riley''s godmother."


    The two of them yed with Riley for a while, and it was until the nurse knocked on the door, indicating


    that visitation hours were over, that they finally left somewhat reluctantly.


    When the two of them came out of the ward, having changed out of their protective suits, they


    immediately caught sight of a man standing at the end of the hallway, dressed in ck.


    Yannie recognized this man; he was another one of Thomas'' assistants.Ever since she identally


    slept with Thomasst year, she could not seem to take her mind off this man.


    After finding out that she had gotten pregnant with his child, she could not help finding out more


    information about him, to a point where she disguised herself as one of his fans to join several of his


    fan clubs.


    Because of this, she knew all of the people working for him—his manager, assistants, secretaries,


    driver, and so on—down to their looks and their respective job scopes.


    This man, who was standing at the end of the hallway, was named Xander Jobbs.


    Half a year ago, he had been fired from the position of Thomas'' assistant because of a mistake he


    committed during work.


    However, ording to some rumors circting in the fan clubs, Xander had always been an


    exceptional assistant, so he could not have been fired for a minor mistake.


    It was more likely that Thomas wanted Xander to do some highly sensitive underground work, so he


    fired him beforehand to reduce his association with him should be exposed in the future.


    In the past, Yannie would never believe rumors like this because she had thought Thomas was a


    handsome, kind, and honest man who would never send his assistant on illegal, dangerous missions.


    However...


    After being exposed to Thomas'' true colors that morning, Yannie could not help thinking that this rumor


    was true.


    Xander must have been helping Thomas do his dirty work all this while.

    Otherwise, why would Xander appear in Merchant City at the same time Thomas had? However...


    Yannie furrowed her brows as she nced at the man.Since Xander was still working for Thomas


    secretly, what was he doing here at the hospital? Not only that, but he had appeared at the ICU, where


    the inflow and outflow of visitors were strictly monitored.


    Was one of Xander''s family hospitalized here, or perhaps Thomas''? Or perhaps...Thomas had sent him


    here to follow her and Luna?


    "What''re you looking at?"


    Luna caught sight of Yannie staring at the end of the hallway nkly.She furrowed her brows and


    nced rather quizzically at the now empty hallway.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Yannie immediately snapped out of her stupor.She nced at the spot where Xander had been


    standing, frowning.


    No one was there anymore.The man had disappeared.For a split second, Yannie could not help


    wondering if the man had existed at all or had she simply mistaken someone else for him.


    "What''s wrong?" Luna asked again, growing slightly concerned by the dumbfounded look on Yannie''s


    face.


    Yannie shook her head.


    "Nothing.I was just zoning out."
