Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 438

The atmosphere in the hospital ward was tense—there was no warmth or any sense of family coming together. In fact, it felt completely forced, like they were just awkwardly stuck in the same space.

Not long after, Bobby arrived.

As soon as they sat down, they started eating. Hazel shot Lily several meaningful glances, but the latter ignored them, refusing to initiate conversations with Bobby.

Thus, the tension in the ward grew even more.

After only a few bites, Bobby put his fork down. The stainless steel cutlery clinked sharply against the plate, a clear sign of his displeasure.

"Lily, quick, get your dad a tissue!" said Hazel.

Lily was farthest from the tissue box, so Hazel grabbed it and placed it directly in front of her.

Lily was struggling to hold the fork with her left hand, a piece of pie freshly speared on the tip.

"I'll get it," Hayden said, pulling out a tissue and handing it to Bobby.

The fact that Lily was giving him attitude made Bobby's expression darken further. He accepted the tissue with a scoff and said, "She's the esteemed Mrs. Fulton after all, so how could I dare to trouble her?"

"It's good that you know." A cold, low voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Everyone looked up to see Xavier standing there, his tall frame accentuated by his tailored coat. He carried a thermal food container in one hand, and the chill of winter seemed to cling to him, breaking through the stifling atmosphere in the ward.

Bobby immediately stood up with a smile. "Xavier, you're here! And you even brought food for Lily."

"If I didn't, you would've forgotten she's my wife. Lecturing her as you please is one thing, but to also set her up for blind dates?"
