Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 846

Xavier was engrossed in his mobile game when he heard Norah's voice. He quickly grabbed the quilt, slung it around his waist to cover his privates, and turned to look at Norah. "Why are you here? Where's Damian?"

Norah had already turned her back to him, her face flushing red, stuttering, "Damian is downstairs settling the bills for the delivery, he asked me to change your dressing."

"No need! You go do your thing, I'll have someone else come up later."

"Have you, um, covered yourself properly?” Norah asked.

"All covered."

Norah took a quiet breath, turned around, placed the food box on the bedside table, and fetched the new dressing.

"You should pull the quilt down a bit, to expose the wound."

"I told you, it's really not necessary!"

"Everyone's busy downstairs, they won’t be up for a while!" Norah spoke casually, trying to lighten the mood. "Don't be so nervous, you are a man, what are you afraid of?"

Xavier grinned at Norah. "Don't say things like that to a man. You never know what kind of beast hides under a straight-laced exterior!"

He lectured her in a patronizing tone.

Norah raised an eyebrow. "What about you?"

"I'm not interested in women!" Xavier replied nonchalantly, reaching for his cigarette on the bedside table.

Norah's eyes widened in disbelief. "You, you’re into guys?"

Xavier gave her a glare. "Not being into women means I’m into men?"

Norah muttered, "You're not into women or men. Are you into trans people?"

"Cough!" Xavier choked on his smoke, coughing violently on the bed.
