Dear Sweetheart novel

Theodore’s father, Barnaby Xavier, had a few days off and came home last night. He was currently having breakfast with Emma.

Emma was pressuring Barnaby to go to Xyperia, much to his fury.

“He’s unconscious. What good would it do for me to be there?” Barnaby snapped angrily. “You, on the other hand, shouldn’t have done that. I know you dislike Jasmine, but she won’t be marrying into the Xavier family. Why would you hire someone to kill her?”

Initially, Barnaby couldn’t be bothered by who Theodore was dating.

Theodore would ultimately have to marry a daughter of a military official, so Barnaby kept silent even though Emma had used his name to make arrangements for Selena to travel to Xyperia.

Rage seared through Barnaby when he recalled how Theodore approached him in a disrespectful manner after Jasmine got into trouble. Livid that Theodore disrespected him and Emma, he blew his top and shouted at Theodore in an enraged tone.

Alas…

Despite his fiery disposition, Barnaby was overcome with worry for his unconscious son’s wellbeing.

“I wasn’t in my right mind,” Emma explained as she wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief. Overwhelmed by regret, she continued, “I wouldn’t have done that if I knew the child by Jasmine’s side belonged to Theodore.”

“That’s enough!” Barnaby cut in impatiently, frustrated by her sobbing. “What use is there to regret now? I’ll get someone to arrange a plane for me to fly to Xyperia this afternoon. How is that child doing?”

Emma took a deep breath and hung her head. “I met him once at the hospital, but he was hostile to me. Despite his cold demeanor, however, I can tell he is intelligent, and his personality is reminiscent of Theodore’s.”

“Talk to Curtis and convince him to let us bring that child back home,” Barnaby ordered. “If our son remains in a coma, the child will be the Xavier family’s only bloodline. We can’t let him stay alone outside.”

Emma said nothing.

She had to be cautious when speaking with Curtis, so she didn’t have the nerve to inquire if they could bring Carl back to the Xavier family.

Besides, she had a hunch Carl wouldn’t want to come and live with them.

“I’ll find a time to talk to Curtis,” Emma finally relented with a sigh.
