The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 47

The chrysanthemum would help Xavier with his fatigue and also calm his senses. Scarlett had carefully selected them, making sure that their fragrance wasn't too strong, but also not too faint. Their scent had the effect of relaxing anyone who smelled it.

After washing her hands, Scarlett retrieved the blackout eye mask and handed it to Xavier. He was a slight germaphobe, so he didn't accept the mask immediately.

Caleb asked hastily, "Did you just buy this? Have you washed it?"

Scarlett instantly guessed that Xavier had germophobia based on Caleb's questions. She understood his concerns, since the Quinn brothers also had varying degrees of germophobia. While caring for them, Scarlett had developed the habit of cleaning and sanitizing all her tools long ago.

"Don't worry," she said. "I disinfected it earlier."

It was also the reason why she hadn't given the eye mask to Caleb while she was treating him.

Caleb was surprised by her answer. "You're quite meticulous, aren't you?"

It appeared that Scarlett was well suited to being a doctor.

Xavier accepted the eye mask from Scarlett after her reassurance. Once everything was ready, Scarlett started the timer.

"Empty your mind. The timer has started. I'll do my best to ensure you fall asleep in the next ten minutes. First, I'm going to massage your acupuncture points. You'll be able to feel the pressure of my touch."

Scarlett placed her hands gently on Xavier's head. However, despite how he had emptied his mind as she instructed, he couldn't help but tense up when he felt her soft and warm fingertips brush against his scalp.

"Relax. There's no need to be nervous," Scarlett murmured. "Is this pressure okay?"

Xavier's voice was low and slightly hoarse when he answered, "Yes."
