Geoffrey and Xyla both fell silent after listening to Christopher.

Xyla glanced at Geoffrey, opening her mouth as if to say something, but she eventually kept her silence.

Geoffrey had never shown his vulnerable side to anyone, even when his son's life was in danger in the operating theater. He looked indifferent as he said to his wife and Christopher, "I need the washroom."

Then, he turned to leave.

Xyla folded her arms over her chest, leaned against the wall, and sighed. "I didn't expect something like this to happen."

She didn't look sad, but her expression was somber. If she were a stranger to Sebastian, her reaction would have seemed too much-but as his mother, her reaction was in fact slightly underwhelming. Christopher stepped forward and asked, "How were things when you and Geoffrey were there?"

Xyla gave him a slight smile. "What else? We just sat around, staring at each other. Well, we did end up talking in the end. It's been so many years since we had a good chat. Our talk was going pretty well when this happened to Sebastian, and we were called back here."

"I'm sure there'll be chances in the future after Sebastian's ordeal blows over."
