Chapter 38 I Am Happy With Xavier

• As the doctor bustled into the room and began tending to the old man, Xavier descended the stairs with his crisp black shirt neatly folded over his arm. He strode over to his brother, standing tall and imposing in front of him. His voice was low and threatening as he spoke, and his eyes were blazing with anger. "You better hope this isn't serious. If anything happens to our father because of you, I promise you won't want to face the consequences." The tension in the air was thick and palpable, each word a sharp edge in the heated exchange between the two brothers.
• With a firm shove, Xavier propelled his elder brother Edward out of the way. Cathleen stood there, her mind racing in disbelief at what had just transpired. She struggled to find a place to begin comprehending everything that had just unfolded before her eyes. The shock and confusion swirled inside her like a dark storm, threatening to break free at any moment.
• Who did she get married to? Why was Finn's father so afraid of the man to whom she had been married? Most importantly, she didn’t want old Mr. Knight to be sick. He was the only father she had and the only one she had confidence in. So she quickly went and sat down on the floor in front of the room where the old man was being treated. As she started to think about all the things that had happened, she couldn't hold back the tears any longer.
