Chapter 79

At Jondalia Hospital, Xavier had finally woken up. When he saw Scarlett by his side, he became unusually quiet, displaying full cooperation with his treatment. He even drank water when she asked him to and ate when she told him to. He was as obedient as a child. Seeing him like this, Scarlett felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. It was as though all he needed was a bit of reassurance, and he could quickly pull himself together, doing his best to live a normal life. His resilience was both touching and heartbreaking. "Sir, a few members of the Stroud family are coming to visit today. I'll step out to the restroom to avoid them, but I'll come back as soon as they leave." Xavier immediately shook his head. "No!" He grew anxious and restless if he couldn't see Scarlett for even a moment. Feeling helpless, Scarlett came up with a plan. "But I need to use the restroom. You're not going to stop me from that, are you? If I hold it in and get sick, I won't be able to stay by your side."
