Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 416 Due to her heart condition, Xyla's lips were stained an unhealthy shade of purple. Xavier was worried about her well-being, which was why he'd decided to keep the truth from her for the time being.

Xavier forced himself to relax his expression and said, "Just wait patiently in your room. The police will take care of everything."

Xyla took a step forward and grabbed his sleeve. "Sarah... She'll definitely come back, right? She's the only family I have left in this world. Can you please help her?"

Tears streamed down her face, and she gasped for breath with every word she sobbed out. Her breathing started becoming more erratic.

Xavier did his best to comfort her. "Don't worry, Xyla. Sarah will come back. I'll help her."

"Really?"

Xyla's gasping didn't subside. She opened her mouth wide and sucked in deep breaths. She moved her hand from Xavier's sleeve to fist the fabric above his heart.
