Chapter 154
Knowing that resisting was futile, Yvette silently endured it.
Xavier leaned in and whispered a warning in her ear, “I tell you this–if you ever meet him again, I will make both your lives a living hell.”
Suddenly, Xavier stopped in his tracks when his hand touched something wet. That was when he saw blood on his fingertips.
Turning Yvette around, he realized that blood was tralling from behind her ear down her face.
Panicking, he removed Yvette’s hearing aid. “Why is your ear bleeding again?” he asked.
Yvette couldn’t hear him at all. She figured it was just more hurtful words, so not being able to hear them was a relief.
Xavier tried again. “Do you have any medication with you?”
Yvette remained silent. Realizing she couldn’t hear him, Xavier had no choice but to drive her to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, a doctor gave Yvette treatment for her ear. However, she still couldn’t
-hear.
After the doctor left, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Xavier prepared a glass of warm water with medicine and handed it to her. When she didn’t react, he took/ out his phone and typed a message for her to read.
“Take the medicine!” the message read.
Seeing him use his phone to communicate with her, Yvette was reminded of that night over a decade ago. Back then, she had also lost her hearing temporarily after being bullied by classmates. Xavier had picked her up and used his phone to communicate with her once he had figured out that she couldn’t hear him.
This moment felt just like that night, except the Xavier before her right now was no longer the gentle boy he had once been.
Her
eyes
turned slightly red as her pale lips parted. She whispered, “It’s alright. It’s been years. The medicine won’t help.”
For some reason, Xavier felt a sudden pang in his chest. He continued typing, “Who told you the medicine wouldn’t work?”
“The doctor.”
Not wanting to type another word, Xavier pressed the glass of water to Yvette’s lips.
His impatience was a stark contrast to how he used to be. Yvette remembered that night when his car
had broken down. They had sat inside and used his phone to talk all night because she was scared.
Taking the glass, Yvette drank it all in one go before she turned over in bed, ignoring him.
Xavier retreated to the balcony, lighting one cigarette after another.

Yvette had just fallen asleep when a nightmare woke her up.
In the dream, she was in a car, being.
She opened her eyes and Instinctively reached for the blanket, only to touch a firm arm. Turning her head, she saw Xavier lying beside her, but she didn’t know when he had come to bed.
She pulled her hand back and moved away from him.
However, Xavier had noticed that she was awake and pulled her into his arms.
“Can you hear me now?” he asked.
Yvette furrowed her brow. She pretended like she hadn’t heard him and didn’t answer him.
When Xavier didn’t get a response, he lowered his head to kiss her forehead, then her nose, and finally her lips.
