Although Verian became soft-hearted for what Xavier had said, she did not unfasten his handcuffs.
With deepened eyes, Xavier asked, "It turns out that you don’t believe me."
"I..."
Looking at Heaton’s face, she could not harden her resolve.
Xavier continued to speak, "Never mind. Let me be handcuffed here like this. If I’m to be handcuffed here for 10 days or up to half a month, maybe I’ll suffer from depression."
Verian bit her lips and did not speak again.
When it was almost time for lunch, Verian took a look at Xavier, who had closed his eyes and was resting. She spoke with a soft voice, "You can rest for a while. I’ll go out to buy lunch for you."
Xavier did not bother her. Verian knew that he must be angry now.
As Version bought the lunch and came back, she fed him as before. However, Xavier did not have much of an appetite. After eating two bites, he became irritated and said, "I don't want to eat anymore!"
His hands were tied, so it was really inconvenient for him to eat. During the whole morning, Verian had been thinking a lot. She took a deep breath and said, "I'll unfasten your right hand. This will make it easier for you to eat. Is that alright?"
Xavier's eyes brightened. He answered with a 'hm' emotionlessly. Version went to the other side and took the remote control to remove the cuff for his right hand.
Xavier stretched the bones and muscles of his right hand. Verian walked over and passed him the chopsticks, but the man abruptly clutched her neck.
"What are you doing… Cough…"
"I want you to let me go!"
The strength of his hand was immense, his clench almost suffocating her. Verian's eyebrows frowned deeply. "You're clutching me like this… Cough… How can I let you go?"
At this moment, the main door of the medical base opened.
"Verian!"
As Serene came in, she saw Xavier clutching Verian’s neck!
Serene rained curses on him. "Heaton Fudd! Verian is your wife! Let her go immediately! What exactly do you want to do?!"
Xavier’s black eyes narrowed as he ordered her, "Use the remote control there to unfasten my handcuffs now!"
"Serene… Don’t..."
Xavier increased his strength, clutching Verian until she could barely breathe. Her little face turned red.
"If you still don’t unfasten the handcuffs, I’ll clutch her to death."
"No, no, no! I’ll remove the handcuffs for you, alright? You’re such a violent lunatic! Let Verian go!"
"You unfasten me first, then I’ll let her go!"
Verian’s tears spilled from the corners of her eyes. It was unknown if this was because of his grip that was making her feel awful, or the fact that Heaton’s third personality was treating her like this to make her feel depressed.
Serene took the remote control and instantly unfasten the other handcuff on Xavier’s hand. As soon as Xavier’s hands were free, he clutched Verian and walked toward the door.
"Open the door!"
Serene could only follow whatever he said. She opened the door. "You let go of Verian!"
When the door was opened, Xavier pushed Verian toward Serene and strode out of the base!
