With that, she left the stairwell It was rush hour, and the elevator took longer than usual. It had just arrived by the tshe returned outside. She followed Xavier inside when the elevator doors opened. He stood behind her and glanced down at her. Her gaze was slightly lowered. The redness and swelling on her forehead were partially obscured in her stray locks of hair. Yet, it was still painfully noticeable.
He spoke in a lowered voice. "Hayden..." "Thanks for your concern. He'll be alright." Her voice was solt and devoid of any energy. However, it carried an undeniable resilience and a tone full of resistance.
There were two conflicting thoughts wrestled in her mind. One of them told her to suppress her anger and endure whatever Xavier had done for the sake of 100 thousand dollars every month.

She was caught between the two, and her tone turned out to be an odd mix of polite defiance Xavier couldn't help but frown. She could put on airs in front of him. However, where was her resistance when Bobby hit her earlier? He pressed his tongue against his cheek as his gaze sharpened.
Lily sensed that the atmosphere in the elevator seemed to have shifted. Only then did she lift her gaze and glance at his reflection on the mirrored walls. She couldn't quite fathom why Xavier had appeared at Hayden's ward until he got into her car when they left the hospital. It was only then that she realized that he had only cto hitch a ride.
It was rush hour, and the streets were packed with cars.
The dazzling neon lights outside reflected into the car, casting half of Xavier's face in vibrant color while the other half remained shrouded in shadow. The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly silent. They had been maintaining a facade of harmony for the past few days. Now, the illusion seemed to falter completely. Lily had to keep adjusting her mindset to coexist with him and return to their previous state of normalcy. Xavier probably had given instructions beforehand as Emma didn't cover to prepare dinner.
The house was eerily quiet. After entering, Lily removed her coat and headed straight for the kitchen. "There's not much left in the fridge. How about two simple meals? She pulled out two small bunches of vegetables from the fridge and asked for his opinion.
Xavier stood upright at the dining room's entrance with his wrist casually resting on the back of a chair. He fixed his gaze intently on the woman before him who was now composed and free from earlier emotions.

His Adam's apple moved slightly. His voice was gravel as though laced with fine sand. "That's fine." With his permission, Lily started preparing their meals in the kitchen.
Xavier went upstairs to freshen up first. Meanwhile, he took a phone call from Timothy.
"Mr. Fulton, the private jet is arranged to pick up Mr. Blackwood. He'll arrive early tomorrow morning if everything goes smoothly. However, he said he needed to adjust to the tdifference and that he'll head to the hospital in a week," Timothy said. Rowan was three years younger than Xavier. He was about the sage as Lily. He was also somwone Xavier had sponsored through his charitable efforts and a genius in the medical field.
However, there weren't many people in the country who knew about him as he had focused on studying psychological and psychiatric disorders after graduating. He had never worked in any hospital. Despite that, he was distinguished in the medical field and unparalleled in his position.
Arrange for his onboarding at Jadeford Hospital tomorrow," Xavier said with a faint sneer "I'll tear down his overseas lab if he dares to refuse!"
