Xavia had a successful delivery, and after a few days of rest, she appeared to be in good spirits. Dressed in a black gown and a small hat, she exuded elegance and beauty.
As Emily angrily reproached her, Xavia let out a sigh of sadness and responded, "I simply wish to pay my respects to Ms. Chloe. There's no need for you to be so worked up."
"Joseph! If you let her stay, I’ll take Coco away!" Emily's face flushed with anger as she shouted at Joseph.
Joseph slowly looked up and briefly glanced at Xavia, but he quickly averted his gaze. The duration of their eye contact did not even last three seconds.
Xavia clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves. From the moment she had given birth until now, this man had barely spared her a glance. Instead, he had sent Tyson to check on the baby. What was he thinking?
But it did not matter. Now that Chloe was no longer around, Xavia knew she would soon have better days ahead. She had an ulterior motive in coming here today. Did they really think she had willingly come to such an inauspicious place?
Lucas was adept at reading people's expressions and immediately understood Joseph's intentions. He approached Xavia and politely said, "Ms. Xavia, please leave."
"I don't have any other intentions..." Xavia feigned innocence. "I was surprised and saddened by Chloe's death. I just came to pay my final respects. If there was anything I did in the past that caused her unhappiness, I genuinely hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me."
"If you truly seek her forgiveness, then go and apologize to her in the depths below," Noah suddenly interjected, breaking his silence. His brown eyes emitted a cold and chilling aura as if he could see through her thoughts.
Xavia's expression froze for a moment, followed by a flicker of annoyance. Speaking in a voice audible only to the two of them, she asked, "Tell me. Did Chloe really die? Did you go to the hospital to save her?"
On the day of the fire, Xavia caught a glimpse of Noah as he hurried through the hospital. She was certain she had not mistaken it. That person had been him.
But by that time, the fire had spread extensively. Xavia could distinctly hear the cries of agony coming from the operating room. The thought of that bitch finally disappearing from her life brought her immense joy. If it was not for the fear of being overheard, she would have burst into laughter to celebrate.
She listened intently from outside the operating room for a long time, but the cries of agony ceased before the firefighters arrived. It was highly likely that Chloe had died. Even if Noah had arrived, it would have been too late to save her. But for some reason, Xavia could not shake off her lingering worry.
