Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 426

No, Xavier wasn't concerned about Lily. What he said was just a passing comment. Lily couldn't care less if he was criticizing her or if he was giving her good-intentioned advice.

"Why didn't you say that before I started feeding you earlier?"

Xavier shot her a somber look before lowering his head to continue eating.

A lump rose in Lily's throat. This wasn't her fault. She'd never imagined that he would feed her.

Even though this was a filling meal, she ended up being overwhelmed with discomfort and helplessness too.

Fortunately, Xavier was summoned away by a phone call after he finished his meal.

Lily got out of bed to get some post-meal exercise by walking around within her hospital ward. She didn't think that she would fail to get a direct answer from Xavier.

She lowered her head to look at her hand that was wrapped up in bandages and a cast.

Suddenly, a knock came at the door. She spun around, only to see Terence and two police officers entering the room together.

"Hey, Terence," she first greeted.

Then, she nodded at the two police officers.

"Ms. Joyner, we're here to talk to you about Bruce's case."

One of the police officers flipped to his investigation notes. "We have verified that Sarah Lynde was indeed the mastermind who instigated Bruce's crime. She has admitted to it—"

That overwhelmed Lily in an instant. She looked toward Terence, who nodded at her. In other words, he was confirming that the news was real.

Sarah had actually confessed to her crime.

Bruce and Sarah would both be sent to court in a few days to receive lawful punishment. At the very least, they would be imprisoned for a few years.

After sharing the news, the police officers left.

Instinctively, Lily asked Terence, "Isn't Xavier going to get her out?"

"Nope."
