Timothy, acting as nothing more than a facilitater, escorted Sarah and Xyla to their private rooms, helped them get seated and place their order with the walter, and then discreetly only they remained in the private room

"Sarah, why do you think Xardier stayed in the room next door?" Xyla blinked innermitly. "This is my first time seeing Lily. She's actually quite pretty."

Sarah couldn't stand hearing anyone praise Lily, even if it was Xyla. Her expression darkened slightly. "What's the use of being pretty They're already divorced!"

Xylakowered her voice. "Since they're divorced, why aren't you making a move? If you keep stalling, Xavier might rekindle things with her!"

"Rekindle what?" Sarah snapped without thinking "Xavier never loved her!

"It's not rekindling-he's about to fall in love with her for the first time" Xylateased with grabbing Sarah's arm and shaking it gently. "Sarah, you're working so hard alone to cover my medical bills. It's exhausting!

"I feel like such a burden to you. But you marry Xavier, those bills will be nothing Don't hesitate act quickly!"

Sarah telt a pang in her heart at kylar's words. "Kyla, it's okay if I have to work hard. Learn enough to cover your medical expenses. You don't need to worry."

"But what if my illness can't be cured?" Xyla's eyes instantly welled with tears. "We've been together since we were little.noveldrama

"I'm gone, what will you do alone? I won't be able to rest in peace unless 1see you muurled to Xaver!"

Xyla's illness was Sarah's greatest source of anxiety. She couldn't bear to hear Xyla speak this way. "Don't say such things

"You'll be fine. You saved Xavier's life once-he'll do everything he can to find a matching organ for you, whether it's here or abroad. You understand?

By now, Xyla's mindical expenses weren't a heavy burden for Surah, What truly troubled her was that they hadn't found a suitable donor now despite all the years that had passed. Even with ever mobilizing all his resources, they were still waiting

"I have Rh-negative blood type, a rare blood type. Finding a compatible organ isn't easy. Even it one is found. Sarah, you love Xavier. You'll be happier if you're with him sooner

Xyla rested her head on the table and cried softly. "Do you know why I insisted on coming back home? I'm atrad I won't be able to wait much longer."

Sarah gently patted Xyla's back. "Xyla, calm down. Things between me and Xavier can't be rushed, You lonow his temper."

"How can I not bears? Xavier clearly has feelings for Lily Sarali, stop deceiving yourself. You don't have to be with him immediately but must eliminate the biggest threat. "That way, even if I don't make it, I'll have peace of mind Xyla's tear-streaked face was pale, her trailty evident as she pleaded, "As long as Lily has another man, Xavier won't want her anymore. And right now, Bruce is eyeing her. Why not take advantage of that?"

Sarah had indeed considered using Bruce, but she hadn't made a move yet, leaning it would be too risky without a proper plan. However, Xyla's relentless crying weakened her solve.

The moment Xavier arrived, Lily lost her

ther appetite. In fact, everyone in the room felt the same.

She didn't believe Karter was aware of the awkward atmosphere. Yet, he lounged lazily in his chair, propping an elbow on the table, acting as if nothing were amiss

The Invely ambiancehad vanished, leaving an oppressive silence where no one felt inclined to speak. Feeling stifled, Lily stood up.

"Mrs. Devereux Senior, I'm going to the restroom With that, she turned and left the room. Maryanne wanted to follow her, but Marika stopped her.

As soon as Lily left, Xaver got up and followed her out Clearly, he had come for Lily and was seizing every opportunity to be alone with her
