Housekeeper Turner respectfully opened the car door, inviting Xaviera Evans to get in. To her surprise, there was already a man in the car. He looked pale and exhausted, showing signs of long-term illness.
Based on her experience, she guessed that the man was nearing the end of his life, as his eyes revealed a sense of deathly despair.
The man didn't speak, just glanced at Xaviera before closing his eyes again, too weak from pain and sickness to focus on anything else.
For some reason, seeing this frail man made Xaviera's heart ache. Perhaps it was because she felt sorry for someone about to face death.
The car ride was quiet, and they eventually stopped at the Turner house. The housekeeper got out of the car first to open the door for the man. As Xaviera got out, she saw several bodyguards rushing over with a wheelchair, helping the man into it.
