Chapter 51: Trauma From The Past

"Selene," Xavier called, going down to her level as he watched her face with a worried expression. He tried to cup her cheeks but she flinched. She pushed her body to the wall as if wanting to glue herself to it. 

Selene hugged her knees close to her chest. "Don't touch me," she whispered, her voice barely audible but Xavier heard her loud and clear since he was close to her. 

He gulped down his saliva as anger surged through his body. He took off his suit jacket and placed it on her. 

"Selene," he called again, his voice soft and filled with so much warmth. His blood boiled seeing her in such a state. 

All of a sudden, Selene went weak. Her head nearly hit the ground but Xavier caught her at the right time. He shook her. 

"Selene!" He called but she wouldn't wake up. "Shit!" He cursed under his breath before lifting her and heading towards his car, completely ignoring Richard who still lay on the ground, completely unconscious.
