"What did you say happened to you? You just called all of a sudden saying you were at the hospital! Are you hur—" Tracie choked on her own words when she saw the scene in front of her. "What the fuck happened?!!"
"Will you lower your voice? This is a hospital in case you’re forgetting!!" Xavier snapped, glaring at Tracie for interrupting his special ti with Anastasia.
anwhile, the latter was too stunned to speak.
Xavier’s arms were safely wrapped around Anastasia, like he wanted to make her his second skin.
Tracie shared a look with Anastasia, who didn’t seem uncomfortable with his actions.
"What’s going on here?" She asked, walking inside and closing the door behind her. "You told you were at the hospital without even feeding in on what happened! So I have only one question. WHAT HAPPENED?"
"I’m seriously going to kick you out of here if you yell once again," Xavier threatened, a scowl evident on his face. "You know what? I’m mad at you for knowing she was Anastasia and you never told anything."
"A—ahh...w-well... wait what?!" Tracie stuttered. "You knew?"
"I just found out about everything yesterday," Xavier replied.
"How?"
Xavier went on and inford Tracie how he found out. When he was done, Tracie scratched the back of her head with a red face filled with embarrassnt.
"I wanted to tell you but she never let . She was...she was worried about a few things," she replied.
Xavier glanced at Anastasia before his gaze returned to Tracie. "And you decided to listen to her? You know how emotional Anastasia can be."
"Hey!" Anastasia snapped.
"You were well aware she was making a terrible decision and you still decided to support her?"
"Will you stop nagging ? I only did what she asked to do. If there’s anyone you should be nagging, it should be Ana!" Tracie imdiately defended herself. "You know what? I’m going to go away now and catch my breath. I booked the quickest flight because there was sothing wrong with my jet. Then there was traffic on the way here. I had to run halfway to get there and this is what I get? I’m going! Baibai!" Tracie turned to leave and closed the door behind her.
Anastasia was now worried that Xavier might have hurt Tracie’s feelings a little. "Wait..."
"Let her be...she’s too loud to be in here with us." Xavier stopped her and continued to nuzzle his head on her neck.
After Xavier was discharged, he suggested moving in with Anastasia or having her move back to their mansion in Radiantia. Since Radiantia was a long distance from Xattlewood, she had to give it a second thought.
But Xavier didn’t allow her to think about it as he decided on her behalf that she would be moving back to their mansion.
Anastasia had no choice but to agree because she also wanted to be close to him every day. But she would only be moving out after disposing of Mr. Steven’s body because just like Mr. Russell, he was completely useless.
Anastasia and Xavier arrived in Radiantia.
"I’m not sure if your n told you about this but I was the one who snuck into the Harrison mansion months ago," she inford with a cheesy smile on her lips.
"Impossible," Xavier comnted, staring at her in shock.
Months ago, he’d received feedback from his n whom he’d sent to co to check over the construction because he and Anastasia had been planning to demolish the mansion and turn it into a vacation ho, only for them to return saying there’d been a female intruder.
"I went there because I wanted to rember so things," she said.
"And how did that go?"
Anastasia went silent for a second before she replied, "I rembered how I had my first miscarriage, but that’s okay. It’s all in the past now." She tried to sniffle back the tears that were about to trickle down her face. "Then I lost our baby too—"
Xavier interlocked their fingers together as he locked eyes with her. "You need to stop thinking about the past, Ana. It’s okay if you can’t rember anything, we’ll make new mories. As for a baby, we can make another whenever you’re ready."
Anastasia forced a smile to stretch on her cheeks so she would look happy and content, but she wasn’t.
Anastasia shook her head, deciding not to keep any secrets from him. "I can’t give birth anymore. I’ve beco barren," she inford.
She was expecting him to retract his hand from hers, but if anything, he only held it tighter.
"That’s alright. I have a friend who’s great in his field as a doctor. He can recomnd so redies but if there’s nothing that can be done, we can always adopt." He wanted to ask how that happened, but didn’t want her to rember the past any more.
His reply shocked her to the extent her jaws almost dropped.
Anastasia nodded in understanding as they reached the Clark mansion. She was going to see her family. She was beyond excited.

In a simple yet sophisticated apartnt, soone was lying on the bed but groaned when they heard their phone ringing.
Grunting, the person reached out to get their phone from the other side of the bed and accepted the call without checking who it could be.
"It’s been so long already, and you haven’t even tried reaching out to with sothing new," said the caller.
The receiver checked the caller’s na and only grunted more internally as he glared into space.
"That’s because there’s nothing to reach out to you for. Everything has been extrely quiet around here, it is almost like a graveyard," he replied.
"Are you sure it isn’t because they’ve started suspecting you’re the informant they’ve been searching for?"
The receiver chuckled, the deep sound rumbling in his throat. "I’m too smart and sneaky for them to think of suspecting ," he replied boastfully.
The caller could scoff. "Still as cocky as always. Inform when sothing new cos up." After the receiver grunted, the caller hung up on the phone.
The man yawned as he stepped down from his bed, his hands searching for his glasses.
"Ti to go et my best friend."
