In that moment, the color drained from Xavier's face, inch by inch, until it was entirely ashen.
He had genuinely believed that as long as he obediently atoned for his sins, Willow would eventually calm down and forgive him.
He thought that once he got out of jail, she would be willing to reconcile.
And he would never, ever blame her.
After all, he was the one who was wrong.
But he never expected Willow to so casually demand his death.
Did she... really intend to never forgive him for the rest of her life?
But he was her biological brother!
The realization sent a chill through Xavier's entire body, his breaths laced with a dull, throbbing pain. He tried to speak, opening his mouth several times, but failed to form a coherent sentence.
Seeing this, Willow's smile grew even more sarcastic. "You don't even have the guts to die, yet you have the nerve to demand my forgiveness?"
"Willow," Xavier's voice carried a tone of complete breakdown. "Am I really that unforgivable? For you to just hand me a death sentence?"
Hearing the grievance in his tone, Willow found the situation even more absurd. "What else? Xavier, every single one of you in the Shaw family owes me a life!"
That was the life of the vengeful ghost who had been bullied to death in her previous life!
Staring into the intense hatred in her eyes, Xavier couldn't utter a single word.
Silas, who had been hiding behind the door, couldn't take it anymore. He stormed out furiously, gritting his teeth. "Willow! Our parents died early! If your brothers hadn't dragged you out of childhood, you'd have died a long time ago. What do you mean we owe you a life? You're the one who owes us!"
