Loving Mom 428

Chapter 428

Xavier’s gaze was deep and steady. “Matty was worried about you. He wouldn’t stop saying how uneasy he felt and wanted to come see you last night. I happen to be on leave and have nothing urgent going on, so I figured I’d look after you on his behalf.”

After finishing the water, Sharon’s throat no longer felt like it was burning. She spoke softly, “Thank you, Xavier. And… for what you did last night, thank you again.”

Xavier gave a casual wave of his hand. “You’ve already said that plenty of times last night.”

His eyes locked onto hers. They were like a deep, still lake, capable of drawing a person’s soul into its depths.

Sharon’s breath caught in her throat. Instinctively, she looked away from him.

Just then, the door to the hospital room swung open.
