“I don’t like doing this,” Isabella said, her voice cold as she met Xavier’s gaze. “But I don’t like being misjudged either, and I won’t just stand by when I can help.”

Xavier felt a heavy drop in his chest. Her actions made it clear–she had no intention of hurting Noah.

But did she really believe he didn’t trust her?

The guarded suspicion in her eyes left him speechless, a quiet sting spreading through him.

It was like a small, deep cut he hadn’t noticed before, hidden somewhere vital, bleeding slowly all this time….

Only when it suddenly throbbed did he realize it was there.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t go.”

He reached for her, drawing her gently toward him, his voice low near her ear.

‘From now on, if you don’t want to do something, don’t do it. No matter what happens.”

But by the time the words were out, Isabella was already walking down the corridor beside the nurse.

Kavier blinked, his hand still hanging in the empty air where she had been.

What he’d just whispered to her felt like nothing more than a passing thought–one he’d never actually say aloud.

t would sound overprotective. Unnecessarily dramatic.

nside the donation room, Isabella smoothly rolled up her sleeve. The faint mark from last time had completely faded.

Just as the nurse prepared to insert the needle, Xavier stepped in and stood beside her, his eyes fixed on the tube.

Dark red blood began to flow steadily out of her arm–bit by bit, leaving her body.

A part of her life, being given away.

For three years, she’d been quietly losing pieces of herself like this, and he had never once really watched her face afterward.

It was pale now, not sickly, but drained of its usual warmth.

He’d believed he was giving her a comfortable life, but he never realized she’d been living in her own kind of hell.

Maybe she was right–maybe he had been arrogant. Maybe he’d understood even less than he thought.

“All done. Hold this here, please.” The nurse placed a cotton ball over the puncture site.

Before Isabella could press it herself, Xavier’s hand covered hers, applying firm pressure to stop any bleeding

“I’ve got it,” Isabella said quietly, noticing his tense expression. She remembered how he always avoided coming here during Noah’s past hospital visits.

Jacob later told her Xavier couldn’t stand the sight of blood.

Yet today, he had watched every drop leave her veins….

“You always give this much,” Xavier said, his voice low.

His slender fingers remained wrapped around her soft arm, not letting go.

It took Isabella a moment to grasp what he meant.

“When I donated regularly for Noah, it was a lot more than this. This amount is nothing.”

She gently tried to pull her arm back, and this time he released it.

His eyes held something complicated, unreadable. He parted his lips as if to speak, but said nothing.

As Isabella turned to leave the donation room, a nurse hurried through the doorway pushing a medication cart.

(avier immediately reached for her, pulling her safely to his side.

‘Sorry about that!” the nurse called out, maneuvering past them without slowing down.

sabella found herself pressed against Xavier’s chest, her head just beneath his chin.

Even after the nurse had passed, he didn’t loosen his hold–if anything, his arm tightened around her…

‘Xavier.”

Only when she spoke did his grip relax, though he still kept her hand firmly in his.

His gaze was intense, but not cold–more thoughtful, lingering.

sabella looked away and carefully withdrew her hand.

The way he was looking at her almost made her believe, for a second, that he truly cared.

When they returned to the surgical waiting area, they found Teresa had arrived with two bodyguards.

She was speaking with Linda in hushed tones, but when she noticed Xavier and Isabella, she turned and walked straight toward them, heels clicking sharply against the floor.
