Chapter 299 Consequences of Their Actions.

When Milly stirred at dawn, Xavier had already departed, sparing her from potential discomfort.

Her initial act upon rising was to secure all the windows firmly shut, even the small one in the washroom,

ensuring no chance of glimpsing a helmeted figure entering under cover of night. After everything was set in

order, she exhaled a sigh of relief.

Just as she swung the door open to venture out, a ball crolling in.

Xavier must have been lingering by the doorway, for he rolled in with a puzzled countenance. “Milly, up so early?

Hungry, perhaps? I'll go ask the caregiver to prepare sporridge for you.”

Milly frowned, eyeing his unchanged attire from the previous night. “You didn’t return home?”

Xavier's voice held a hint of uncertainty and hurt. “I dared not. | feared you might seal the windows, barring my

entry..

A moment of silence ensued.

Milly thought to herself, Well, he guessed rightly.

Apprehensive that she might wait too long, he swiftly arranged breakfast-light fare that she favoured, either

through the caregiver's skill or Xavier's instruction. Worried she might take offence, he cautiously set the table

and sat at the furthest spot, eyes never straying from Milly.

Milly sighed inwardly, feeling scrutinised and oddly confined. “There's plenty for breakfast. Why not join. me?”

Xavier's eyes brightened instantly, moving closer eagerly. “Excellent! | knew you wouldn't disappoint.”

Milly said no more; the meal proceeded somewhat smoothly, if one overlooked Xavier's occasional attentive

gestures and inquiries. She couldn’t quite fathom him now. If his intent was simply to make amends, wasn’t this

excessive, especially for someone as proud as he?

Furthermore, she distinctly recalled making her feelings clear to him the night before. So why was he persisting

with this display in her presence?

After the meal, when Xavier again offered fervently to stay with her, Milly could contain herself no longer.

“Is Stephanie in this hospital, Mr. Xavier?”

Taken aback, Xavier showed visible surprise at her sudden query. “She shouldn't be.”

“Shouldn’t be?” Milly detected his uncertainty and felt a twinge of amusement. “You care so deeply for her, yet

you don’t even know which hospital she’s in?”

“Milly...” Xavier sensed a shift in her tone, a growing unease taking hold. “Milly, | was blind and mistook a

counterfeit for genuine. | pledge now to treat you with nothing but kindness. May 1?”

Milly shut her eyes, feeling utterly powerless against Xavier's earnest assurances of future kindness and

apologies for past wrongs. Yet, his words held no sway over her heart.

“Mr. Xavier, | thought | made myself clear, but it appears you still fail to comprehend. Allowto be

Chapter 299 Consequences of Their Actions

“Whether your treatment ofwas foul in the past or will be in the future, it is inconsequential to me. It is akin

to finding a tree that spouts gold coins sprouting in the Pacific Ocean-of no consequence to my existence, and |

remain unmoved.”

“As for your lingering guilt over my mountain plight, | have explained my stance. Your choices were yours to

make; morality played no part in that.”

“| fear my meaning cludes you still. | care naught for your existence. | did not care before, | do not care now, and

| shall not care henceforth. Can you grasp this?”

Milly believed herself abundantly clear; if Xavier feigned ignorance now, it could only be deliberatel

Instead of his previous forcefulness, Xavier bowed his head in silence, quietly tidying the tableware. His

expression masked by lowered eyes, his trembling hands betrayed the impact of her words.

A lump formed in Xavier's throat, an uncomfortable knot. After a pause, his voice carried a tinge of bitterness. “I

comprehend...

Milly's clarity was unmistakable; he would have to be an absolute buffoon to miss it.

| understand you care naught for me, that you harbour no fondness. Yet if | feigned ignorance, | would forfeit any

hope of drawing near to you.

He had long known these truths, yet hearing Milly reaffirm them pricked at his heart. Had the Milly of yore felt

similarly?

A soft chuckle escaped him, tinged with sadness and bitterness, a self-inflicted wound.

Yes, this is the consequence of my own actions.

Milly gazed at him, emotions swirling-tears, laughter, and a furrowed brow of confusion. Had her words driven

him to madness?

Could her words have been too harsh? Impossible; Xavier was an adult, equipped to withstand even the sharpest

barbs.

“You...

A knock came.

Just as Milly poised to speak, a knock at the door interrupted her, followed by a sweet voice. “Milly, are you

awake? May | enter?”

It was Stephanie.

Milly had been restraining herself, but upon hearing that familiar voice, she couldn't resist rolling her

eyes.

Did | somehow cross her in a manner

Before she could utter a word, Stephanie had already pushed the door ajar, bearing a beautifully adorned

fruit basket.

Chapter 299 Consequences of Their Actions

Noticing Xavier beside her, Stephanie expressed a brief surprise. “Xavier, you're here too.”

My, my, she’s putting on an act first thing in the morning.

Already vexed, Milly's irritation only deepened at the sight of Stephanie. “What brings you here?”

She doesn’t do anything for no reason, especially in cases like this.

Stephanie set the fruit basket on the bedside cabinet, her expression characteristically pitiful as she spoke.
