Chapter 895 - Half Defensive and Half Mortified
*****Susan drew in a long, tremulous breath that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand unsaid apologies.Her chest rose and fell slowly before finally, she nodded her head, her eyes glistening but steady.“I will be with my husband,” she murmured, her voice raw and brittle from exhaustion. “I will rest there… and keep an eye on him. Just in case he wakes up… or if anything changes.”No one tried to stop her… there was nothing to add.And Susan, after finishing speaking, rose carefully, her movements slow and deliberate… like every muscle ached from too much emotion.She turned toward the door, fingers trembling slightly as she pushed it open. Then, with a soft creak, she slipped inside and eased the door shut behind her, quiet as a whisper, as though the slightest sound would wake her husband untimely.And just like that, she was gone… leaving Xavier, Laura, and David in the thick silence that followed.None of them spoke immediately.Instead, the three simply stood there
Chapter 894 - Susan’s Emotional Turmoil
*****“It’s okay, Mother,” came a voice, warm, polite, soft, and soothing, breaking through her spiraling thoughts.Susan’s head snapped up, startled. The tone was gentle, calm… almost too calm for the storm still raging in her chest.Without hesitation, her eyes darted toward the source.It was Xavier.At this moment, stood there with that same quiet composure he always carried, his hands loosely in his pockets, his gaze warm and understanding.There was no trace of resentment or arrogance… just empathy.“She’s… overwhelmed right now,” he said gently, his voice filled with patience and an almost brotherly calm. “She’s processing a lot… guilt, fear, pain, and confusion. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”Susan blinked rapidly, her lips trembling.The boy she had nearly screamed at earlier in the car now spoke to her like a son comforting his mother.Xavier exhaled slowly, then added with a small, polite smile, “I will comfort her, Mother. You should rest first. You haven’t clo
Chapter 893 - Susan’s Regret
*****Grace couldn’t hate her mother… she knew the woman had only been reacting out of grief and fear, but that didn’t erase the sting.The things Susan had said had left wounds that wouldn’t heal overnight, because… they hadn’t come from just anyone. They had come from her mother.For a brief second, intense, indescribable pain flickered in Grace’s eyes.But just as quickly as they appeared, she smothered them, replacing them with the cold, impenetrable calm she was known for.Then, without even the slightest word, she turned to Xavier, her gaze meeting his… steady, emotionless, yet somehow heavy.“Thank you,” she said softly, her voice hoarse and distant, stripped of warmth or sentiment, yet also brimming with millions of unspoken words.And before anyone could respond, she turned around and walked away, the sound of her footsteps echoing faintly across the floor… soft but deliberate.She maintained her usual composure, yet the atmosphere around her felt empty... heavily wei
Chapter 892 – Grace’s Emotional Turmoil
*****After the elderly doctor finished giving his thorough, jargon-filled, and eventually simplified report about Williams’ condition, he finally excused himself.He promised to check in regularly and left his contact number in case of any emergency, or in the hopeful event that Williams woke up soon before he returned, so he could come check in on him and examine him again.And with that, the door clicked softly behind him, leaving the mansion silent and suffocated for a moment, no one moving or speaking.Then, finally, as if the silence itself had released something inside them, they all exhaled the breath they had no idea they had been holding… all in near-perfect unison.And just like that, the air seemed to grow lighter, like the whole mansion had been holding its breath along with them.Laura pressed a trembling hand to her chest and shut her eyes, whispering a quiet prayer of gratitude to the heavens. “Thank God,” she murmured, her voice cracking slightly, the tension th
Chapter 891 – The Doctor’s Conclusion
*****The silence that currently enveloped the hallways was the kind of silence that could make a pin drop sound like an explosion.The hallway practically radiated collective bewilderment, each face blank and blinking as if someone had just delivered a full dissertation in astrophysics.Even Xavier was momentarily speechless before he ultimately pressed a hand against his temple, debating between laughter and shaking his head.‘It seems every profession shares this disease of overcomplicating simple things just to sound smarter,’ he mused before exhaling sharply and stepping forward.“What the doctor means,” he decided to explain himself, knowing well that the doctor was already far too used to using a textbook explanation.His tone was calm but laced with irony, “Is that Father had merely fainted from emotional overload, his body reacting too strongly to the shock and stress, causing him to lose consciousness.”His translation hung in the air for a moment, then finally, every
Chapter 890 – The Exaggerative Doctor
*****“Is… is my husband’s situation that bad?” Susan’s voice cracked and her lips trembled as she tried to hold herself together, but her pale face gave her away.Everyone’s eyes darted toward the doctor, waiting.The doctor, on the other hand, blinked, realizing what she had just said.In the following second…“Huh? Oh!” He chuckled softly, a little sheepish. “No, no, Mrs…?”“Sky,” Susan whispered automatically, still fidgeting.“Mrs. Sky,” the doctor repeated with polite respect. “Your husband’s condition, while slightly grim, isn’t that dire.”That should’ve been comforting, but instead, the words only made the hallway heavier, every brow furrowing, and all confusion deepening.“Grim, but isn’t that dire?” Susan asked quickly. “Doctor, what does that even mean?” Her voice wavered again, half pleading and half demanding.Realizing he had spoken like a textbook, the doctor cleared his throat and softened his tone. “I mean,” he began carefully, “it seems your husband experi
