Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 418 Lily no longer wanted anything to do with Xavier.

It was late. Lily turned off the light by her bed. She didn't care whether Xavier had eaten dinner. She didn't care that he hadn't gotten a blanket from the nurses' station.

A weak light illuminated the end of her bed. Xavier sat on the couch. His legs were crossed while his figure was mostly hidden in the shadow cast by the light. He watched the small lump on the bed with dark eyes. It was difficult to guess what he was thinking about.

Lily hadn't slept the night before, so she was beyond exhausted. She lay down for a few moments before her breathing evened out, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Xavier got up and padded to her side. Her hand, which was in a cast, rested just under her chest. It didn't look like she was resting well-she was frowning in her sleep.

Xavier sank into the chair next to the bed as he mulled over everything that had transpired since she had asked him for a divorce.

Lily was like a whole other person. She felt like a stranger to him. But since he was the cause of everything, Xavier was determined to take responsibility.

He sat in the chair for the rest of the night. Around midnight, Lily stirred groggily from her sleep. Despite the haze of sleep that dulled her senses, Lily was aware that someone was sitting by her bedside. Her eyes were blurry, but she could tell that it was Xavier.

She convinced herself that it was just a dream.
