Chapter 216 The thought of the news reports made Rachel furrow her brows, a heavy weight on her chest. She had to settle this, or she wouldn't be able to leave in peace.

Xavier found a cafe nearby and went in with Rachel. They settled down at a table next to the window.

Xavier called for a waiter. "An Americano, please." Rachel chimed in, "Make it two." Xavier lifted an arm to check his watch.

Rachel subconsciously looked out the window, feeling a little worried. "Dr. Jenkins, do you think Tyler can shake off those reporters?" She felt concerned, especially after hearing from Tyler's assistant that William was on his way to the hospital. Her heart grew cold with fear at the thought of those two men clashing amidst the crowd of reporters who love stirring up trouble.

Xavier scoffed. "Seems like you don't know much about him. If he's bent on leaving, all the reporters in Yurelia City won't be able to stop him." Rachel didn't doubt Xavier's words. Tyler always had his way, and no one was able to stop him from doing whatever he wanted.

It was very unlike William, who was always trying to take everyone and everything into consideration. He didn't have a strong backing that could allow him to behave fearlessly, like Tyler.

On that note, having a strong backing felt good indeed.

Curious, Rachel asked, "Dr. Jenkins, have you known Mr. Hunt for a long time? He looks very fit to me. Why would he have a sleep disorder?" Tyler always looked glowing, energetic, and lively. How was he sleep deprived? She also remembered clearly how well he slept the last time.

Xavier recounted, "I don't know if he told you this before, but he was often confined and punished so harshly, you wouldn't be able to imagine it. He didn't have a good childhood, and your mother probably knew about it. Did she not tell you about it?” Rachel shook her head. "No, my mother always wantedto focus on my own affairs. She never shared withabout anything else." Xavier nodded pensively. “I can understand that. There was indeed no need for you to understand those things." Xavier's words were still ringing in Rachel's head.

She sat silent for a moment. Unable to withhold her curiosity, she asked again, "Why did Tyler's family treat him like that? He's a biological child of the family, not adopted!" Rachel felt anger burning in her heart just from hearing about Tyler's childhood.

No wonder Tyler felt rather rebellious despite his age. He hated beingm under anyone's control, and Rachel guessed that it had something to do with his childhood experiences. It was said that an unhappy childhood required lifethealing. She always believed in that.

An unhappy childhood also affected one's personality, sometimes even causing certain defects.

Based on what she understood of Tyler over this period, she couldm sense that there was indeed a defect in his personality due to his past. Chapter 217 er 218
