Chapter 862

Lily didn't understand why Xavier was so worried about her hearing things about him from someone else. "Tell me then, how should we go about this?" she asked in a small voice while lowering her eyes, feeling how the cold air that always surrounded him wrapped itself around her. Xavier was quiet for a moment as he pondered her question. "My office is near your studio. I can drop by every day on the way to work, and you can apply the ointment for me." Since he was the one going through the trouble and didn't mind it, Lily could only nod. "Fine." "I'll drop by again in the evening before you get off work," he added. Lily glanced at his well-built figure from the corner of her eye. She'd never actually seen the wound, but it must be quite serious since it had left Xavier unconscious for days. "Remember to bring the ointment." Xavier made an affirmative noise, ending the conversation there. "You can leave first if you have nothing else to say," Lily said. "I'm waiting for Hayden."
