章節 52: First Kiss

Xavier had just returned from where he dropped Richard off to, his footsteps heavy with urgency. Mark had already departed, leaving Xavier with a few instructions in case Selene exhibited any unusual signs.

Upon hearing Selene's voice, Xavier immediately bolted to his room, his heart pounding in his chest. He pushed open the door to find her on the floor, curled up into a tight ball. Her knees were drawn to her chest, and she clutched them as if they were the only thing keeping her together. 

Tears streamed down her face as her body trembled. 

Looking at her state made Xavier feel as if someone had just stabbed a dagger deep into his heart. 

He reached down to hug her but she immediately retaliated, fighting him off. 

"Who are you?" She questioned which made Xavier turn speechless for a second. 

He stared at her, wondering if she didn't remember who he was. 

"Stay away from me, don't come any closer," she warned, crawling away.
