Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 419

Lily accepted the bag of food from the deliveryman with a nod. She sat down on the couch and began setting the food on the table.

She had ordered a bowl of plain porridge and a fruit cup. It was much simpler compared to what Xavier had brought. But the way she scarfed it down made it seem like the food was far more delicious than it actually was.

Xavier watched her with a troubled expression. He decided to let it go for now. Once the case was closed and Lily knew the truth, he thought she wouldn't behave like this anymore. He entered the bathroom to freshen up and change into a set of new clothes.

When he was done, Xavier exited the bathroom to see that Lily had finished eating. She had placed the breakfast he'd brought near where he'd sat the night before. She'd returned to the bed and was sitting on it.

Xavier hadn't eaten breakfast, but he had no appetite. He ruffled his short hair and packed up the breakfast she had refused to touch. Then, he sat down and started on his work.

Since Xavier wasn't going to the office anymore, Timothy had no choice but to stop by the hospital to deliver the documents that required Xavier's attention.

But the moment he stepped through the door of the ward, Timothy immediately wanted to turn tail and run.

The atmosphere was oppressive and unwelcoming. It was as if there were two different worlds in the room-one on the bed and one on the couch. Neither world could coexist with the other.
