The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill

At Jondalia Hospital, Xavier had finally woken up. When he saw Scarlett by his side, he became unusually quiet, displaying full cooperation with his treatment.

He even drank water when she asked him to and ate when she told him to. He was as obedient as a child.

Seeing him like this, Scarlett felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. It was as though all he needed was a bit of reassurance, and he could quickly pull himself together, doing his best to live a normal life. His resilience was both touching and heartbreaking.

"Sir, a few members of the Stroud family are coming to visit today. I'll step out to the restroom to avoid them, but I'll come back as soon as they leave."

Xavier immediately shook his head. "No!"

He grew anxious and restless if he couldn't see Scarlett for even a moment. Feeling helpless, Scarlett came up with a plan.

"But I need to use the restroom. You're not going to stop me from that, are you? If

I hold it in and get sick, I won't be able to stay by your side."

Xavier replied, his brow furrowing as if he were making a difficult decision. After a pause, he finally said, "You have five minutes."

Scarlett smiled brightly. "Okay! I'll be back as soon as the Stroud family leaves."

With that, Scarlett sent a message to Caleb.

Just as she entered the restroom, the door to the ward swung open, and several men with powerful presences walked in. Among them was an elderly man with graying hair, a tall and composed middle-aged man, and a few others, all with bloodshot eyes, their faces etched with nervousness and concern.

"Mr. Stroud, are you feeling any better?"

"Mr. Stroud, you really need to take care of yourself."

"Uncle Xavier, please get well soon. Your nephews from the Stroud family will handle everything, so you don't need to worry."

Xavier's brow furrowed with impatience as he glanced at the countdown on his watch. Before they could finish speaking, he interrupted, "Aren't any of you busy?"

The men were momentarily taken aback.

"Are you all this free? If you've got nothing to do, I can always find something for you."

His gaze was like a razor's

edge-cold, sharp, and laced with a hint of bloodlust. It felt as if he

w to tear them apart, sending

an icy shiver down their spines.

A cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. As powerful individuals, it had been a

long time since they'd felt such terrifying pressure.

"We... we have urgent matters to attend to."

If it hadn't been for Xavier's health, they wouldn't have interrupted their busy schedules to rush over.

They'd even spent most of the day waiting outside just to get a chance to come in and offer their condolences.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Xavier's voice was as chilling as ice.

They didn't dare linger any longer. Swallowing the well-intentioned words they had prepared, they lowered their heads and quietly retreated.

Outside, a number of influential figures from various provinces and sectors were

waiting to pay their respects to Xavier.noveldrama

They immediately asked, "Why did you come out so soon?"

"How is Mr. Stroud?"

"Is Mr. Stroud doing any better?"

"Are we allowed to go in and offer our condolences?"

The ones who had just exited were the head of the Stroud family and a few other powerful figures within the family. Upon hearing the questions, they found themselves at a loss for words.

They had been kicked out by Xavier!
