In just over ten days before the apocalypse, he witnessed the cruelty of human nature and grew a lot, no longer believing that there are free lunches in the world.
"What price did my sister pay? I'll pay it for her!"
"I'm not interested in n!"
Elijah sneered!
"Then I won't treat you, let us go!"
"It's too late, I've already taken interest! Stop being a wimp and hurry up with the bandages!"
Xavier thought his sister had already been abused by the man in front of him, imdiately filled with anger, wanting to beat him up.
But considering his freezing ability and imnse strength just now, he realized he was no match and held back!
I... I can't waste my sister's sacrifice!
Xavier endured the sourness in his heart, silently starting to unwrap the bandages on his legs and arms.
As the bandages ca off, huge and grueso wounds were exposed, especially on his legs, as if a piece of flesh had been torn off.
The wounds had stopped bleeding, the flesh pale and so areas even oozing pus.
"Tsk, you've got so grit, kid!"
Elijah carefully examined his wounds.
"Unfortunately, grit alone won't do you any good. Your wounds are festering. If you don't get tily treatnt, you won't be able to save your legs and arms, and you might even be in danger of losing your life!"
As the bandages were unwrapped, pulling on the wounds, beads of sweat ford on Xavier's forehead.
"Do you have a way?"
"Indeed, but it might hurt. Can you bear it?"
"I can, just do it!"
Xavier's face hardened.
"No need to rush, wait a bit longer!"
Elijah said lightly. Then he took out a dagger and sterilized it with the lighter he carried.
Whether it was effective or not, Elijah didn't know nor did he count on it.
After another ten minutes or so, Azure Isle ca into view.
Elijah sensed Bella's ability and signaled for Hannah to co over.
"Get a towel to stuff his mouth, then help ice his wounds to ease his pain!"
Hannah nodded and found a clean towel from a drawer.
Xavier took the towel and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling a bit puzzled.
Why was it this big sister icing his wounds?
Shouldn't it be Elijah who had the freezing ability?
Before he could dwell on it, Hannah followed Elijah's instructions, placing her hands on Xavier's leg.
Xavier imdiately felt a chill, and the pain in his wounds imdiately eased a lot.
"Lily, help restrain this kid so he doesn't move around when I'm cutting!"
"Got it!"
Lily held down Xavier's leg with both hands. Elijah took the dagger and imdiately began to cut around Xavier's leg, slicing off the festering flesh.
Despite the icing on the wounds, the intense pain still surged.
Xavier was sweating all over, his body wanting to move uncontrollably, but Lily held him down firmly.
He wanted to scream, but his mouth was gagged with a towel, only able to make a "wuwu" sound.
As the old wounds and flesh were cut away, fresh blood flowed out of the newly cut wounds.
Elijah imdiately switched to Bella's healing ability, covering his hands over the wounds.
As the energy flowed rapidly out of his body, Xavier's bleeding wounds stopped, and flesh rapidly regenerated at a visible speed under the blood cover.
Xavier felt the pain ease a lot, but following it was a tingling numbness, making him even more uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but want to scratch, but Lily slapped his hand away.
The treatnt lasted for about a minute, and just as Elijah had regained his energy, he stopped, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at Xavier's wound now, it had miraculously healed, though the new skin hadn't fully ford yet, appearing a bit raw.
"Is... is that it?" Xavier, soaked in sweat from the intense pain, had no ti to dwell on that now.
He was completely stunned!
He tried moving his legs and found them agile and pain-free, as if he had never been injured in the first place!
The only odd sensation was the tender new skin, slightly itchy, tempting him to scratch it.
But he resisted, his eyes filled with astonishnt as he looked at Elijah.
"What kind of ability do you have? First freezing, then strength, and now healing!"
"I'm tired and don't want to talk," Elijah flopped down onto the couch.
"I'll massage your head for you!" Lily volunteered, helping Elijah relax.
"Mmm, that feels much better!" Xavier didn't mind the intrusion.
He glanced at his arm's wound, hope filling his eyes.
With such a miraculous ability, he could soon be back to normal!
But the thought of his sister sacrificing herself for this chance at healing dimd his spirits.
He swore to himself he'd repay her, ensuring no one ever mistreated her again, not even this man before him.
At that mont, the yacht finally coasted to a stop, smoothly docking.
Sophia erged from the cockpit, hurriedly making her way to her brother.
When she saw his legs fully restored, she gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, tears welling in her eyes.
She spun around to Elijah, seeing him exhausted on the couch.
Though Bella wasn't there, her brother's legs had miraculously healed, undoubtedly the work of the man before her.
"Th-thank you, Elijah!" Sophia's voice trembled with gratitude.
"We're all friends here, no need for formalities," Elijah waved weakly. "Bella will have to take care of the wound on his arm; I need a mont to rest."
"Alright, thank you!" Sophia's face lit up with a radiant smile, her worries dissipated.
"Hannah, you take them back," Elijah gestured towards them, "I'll rest here for a bit."
"Sure thing!" Hannah led Sophia and Xavier away.
Elijah had intended to ditate for a while to recover, but Lily suddenly spoke up, "Elijah, just lie down and rest. I'll continue massaging your head."
"Um... okay." Elijah obediently lay down on the couch.
Lily also sat on the couch and lifted Elijah's head, placing it on her lap.
Though Lily's legs weren't as long as Charlotte's, as slender as Daisy's, or as shapely as Bella's, Elijah found them surprisingly plush and comfortable against his head.
Who would have thought that lying against soone's lap could be so comfortable?
Elijah mused, but when he tried to look up again... he couldn't see a thing! Lily's face was completely obscured from view by a pair of ample objects.
"Hey? I can't see anything!" Lily also realized she couldn't see Elijah's head and said in frustration.
"Wait a mont, Elijah!" Lily pushed him up and then turned around so that her body was facing Elijah's back, before gently placing him back down.
Elijah felt his head nestled between two soft objects, bouncing back and forth a few tis before sinking in completely.
It was incredibly comfortable! Whether she massaged his head or not didn't matter; just staying like this was nice!
Elijah muttered to himself.
anwhile, as they made their way to the villa with Hannah, Xavier watched his jubilant sister, struggling to find the right words to say.
