Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2195 A Couple Reunites

Finished

The next morning in Zovince, Emmanuel returned from a conversation with Ethan and finally had a good night’s rest.

At dawn, Ashton and Nathan burst into his room, bringing great news.

“Master, Xylie’s awake!”

“What?!” Emmanuel bolted upright and dashed straight for the other room without even putting on his

shoes.

Inside, Veronica and Gale were already present.

Veronica had brought in the Chapman family’s top medical team to save Xylie’s life. Without their intervention, her frail body might not have survived the ordeal.

“Xylie! Xylie!”

Emmanuel stormed into the room, his entrance so forceful it caused everyone’s hair and clothing to flutter in the resulting breeze.

Gale turned to Veronica and exclaimed, “Ms. Veronica, your brother’s mentor is a monster. He was seriously injured just a few days ago, yet now he’s back on his feet as if nothing happened!”

Veronica simply nodded in agreement.

For an ordinary person, injuries like his would’ve been fatal. But for Emmanuel, breaking medical norms was practically second nature.

Ignoring the conversation, Emmanuel focused entirely on Xylie.

Her chest had been struck by a bullet, and now her body was wrapped in so many bandages she resembled

a mummy.

He carefully inspected her wounds, his gaze falling on her chest. To his surprise, he noticed a faint pink birthmark near her collarbone. At first glance, he thought it was a tattoo, but knowing Xylie’s reserved nature, that seemed unlikely. Upon closer examination, he realized it was a birthmark shaped like a blooming peach blossom.

“Emmanuel…”

Her soft voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Xylie slowly opened her eyes, a shy yet pained expression on her face.
