Xavier was quick to assure “Im totally cool, man! If you guys hadn’t brought me here, I’d probably have healed by
now on my own.”
Norah couldn’t help but chuckle at his banter. Tm really sorry Yesterday, when they asked me to make the call, I
knew you guys were probably close by looking for me, so I gave them your number. If I knew you would get hurt, I..
She would have called Jonathan, asking him to come to her rescue, rather than letting Xavier rush over single–
handedly with a knife wound?
Xavier comforted her, “You did right giving them my number. At the end of the day, we’re both okay, right?”
And he was damn glad Norah chose to call him. When he found her, her top was stripped down to a thin camisole.

Norah sincerely thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Flemmings!”
“No sweat
A nurse came to change Xavier’s dressing and hook him up to an IV. Norah couldn’t help but glance at his wound as
the nurse worked on him. Seeing the ghastly sight, she frowned and felt a pang of guilt.
After Xavier was connected to the IV, Norah followed the nurse out, finding a quiet spot to ask, “Hi! I was
wondering, after his wound heals, will there be any complications?”
She heard that a man’s waist is quite vital. She didn’t want Xavier to suffer any long–term issues because of this.
Seeing Norah’s hesitation, the nurse reassured her, “No vital organs were hit. He won’t have any complications and
will be just like any other healthy man.”
She added with a hint of mischief, “Don’t worry, his um. marital duties won’t be affected!”
“Eh?” Norah blushed instantly and stuttered, “No, that’s not we’re not
“No need to explain, I got it! The nurse winked at her teasingly, “But really, you guys should be careful. Wait until
he’s fully healed before getting intimate again. Otherwise, the wound might reopen. You get what I’m saying!”
Norah’s eyes widened in embarrassment and annoyance. They were not like that!
Back in the room, perhaps because of the nurse’s words, things felt a little awkward between Norah and Xavier.
When Xavier suggested she go home, she didn’t linger long, promising to bring him lunch and then hurriedly left

help but giggle to herself.
As soon as the barbecue store closed, Estelle was quick to find out, and she took some time off to visit Xavier in the
hospital.
Xavier was feeling rather restless from lying in bed all day, and it was a relief to see Estelle. “Give me a smoke, will
you?”
Estelle asked with a smile, “Isn’t Zachary giving you any?”
Xavier huffed, “He listens to the nurses and won’t let me smoke. I’m going crazy here!”
Estelle retorted, “And you think I’m going to give you one?”
Defeated, Xavier slumped back onto the bed, looking like he’d lost all will to live:
