Hoping that Winnie would see him the instant she opened her eyes, Xavier stood right across from her.
Hoping that Winnie would see him the instant she opened her eyes, Xavier stood right across from her.

Behind him were Rufus and Beatrice, who had rushed over upon hearing about Winnie’s surgery. That aside, there was Greta, who held a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and the other medical staff.

At that very moment, everyone present was on pins and needles. That went doubly for Xavier. In fact, he was even more nervous than Winnie.
