Yvette was too concerned about Zachary's life to recall what she had said.

Her grip on Xavier's hand was tight as she pleaded, "If you save Zac and make sure that he's alright, I won't ask for a divorce anymore. I'll stay—" Tears streamed down her face, mixing with her blood as they dripped on the back of his hand.

Xavier reached out to wipe her tears. He only realized something was amiss when something sticky coated his fingers. "What happened to your face?" Only then he realized that Yvette reeked of blood.

She said, "They told me that they would let Zac go if I disfigured my face, but—"

Xavier's chest tightened. Although he couldn't see, he could feel the sticky warmth of blood on his hand.

A medical team had joined them when they had arrived. They were ready to handle any emergencies that might arise.

Only then Mark snapped out of his reverie and replied, "Got it!"

"I'm fine. I don't need the doctor-" Yvette declined.

"Listen to me. I promise to make sure Zac is unharmed." She calmed down slightly after hearing Xavier's promise, yet she refused to leave.
