Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 262

Xavier let out a bitter, breathless laugh, finally understanding exactly how Willow had felt all these years.

So this was the suffocating agony of watching your own flesh and blood blindly defend an outsider!

If just Silas's betrayal was enough to make Xavier feel like his chest was caving in, what about Willow?

She had been isolated by the entire Shaw family for years. The sheer magnitude of her pain must have been unimaginable.

He looked at Willow, his eyes brimming with remorse, but she wasn't even looking at him. Her gaze was locked onto the empty box, lost in her own thoughts.

His heart plummeted into an icy abyss, shattering into a million pieces.

Xavier felt an agonizing twist in his gut.

How could he have been so useless? How had he taken the bright, innocent sister he used to know and pushed her to this point?

How heartbroken must she be right now?

Xavier couldn't utter a single word; his entire body trembled slightly.

Oblivious to his brother's breakdown, Silas gently supported Tessa and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Seeing Silas firmly in her corner gave Tessa a surge of confidence. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Xavier. "Am I really worth less to you than a pile of dead objects?"
