“Xavia? May we enter?” asked Ian and her parents’ in rather gentle tones.
Quickly rubbing her tears away, she forced a smile as she replied, “…You may…”
Once they were inside, Yasmin couldn’t help but sigh when she saw her daughter who was still lying in bed. Walking up to her, she then asked, “Are you truly alright, Xavia…?”
“Indeed… We can tell you haven’t slept at all, and there’s really no point in acting strong in front of us…” added Homer, prompting Xavia’s heart to skip a beat. Though she was still sad, she couldn’t help but feel touched by their attentiveness. At the same time, their kindness also made her even sadder than ever.
“I… I hurt him… What should I do…? He’s right… I never asked how much he was suffering, and I’m even the cause of his serious injuries… With how inattentive I am, it makes me wonder if I’m even deserving of his love… I… I’ve truly let him down this time, and I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me… In fact, I’m too ashamed to ask for his forgiveness…”
Watching as she broke into tears, the trio couldn’t help but share her grief.
Hugging her tightly, Yasmin said, “There, there… It’s normal to make mistakes… That aside, Young Master Burton is a very considerate man, so I’m sure that he’ll eventually forgive you…”
“I think so as well. You should have seen your mother back when she was younger… I was playing chess with an ordinary woman at the time, and your mother came over to flip our board! Naturally, I was mad about that, but when I found out that she had only done that out of jealousy, I ultimately chose not to fuss over it. In fact, I was the one who coaxed her in the end!” added Homer.
