Hearing the roar, Theodore's mom shivered. She forgot to hit Elizabeth's head against the wall. In a daze, she pulled Elizabeth's hair, stood there, and looked at the man who suddenly came out, "Who are you?"
Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked at the man. She was stunned for a moment, and then let out a great sigh of relief.
"Sebastian?"
Xavier didn't answer her and just glanced at her. Then he rushed up, twisted the wrist of Theodore's mom, asked her to loosen her hand and then pushed her away viciously.
Theodore's mom held her painful wrist and roared with a pale face, "Who are you? You son of b*tch!"
Xavier glared at Theodore's mom with anger, turned around, and then gently helped Elizabeth stand up.
"How are you? Are you alright?" He asked with concern, but
his eyes were blazing with flames of fury.
He was really glad that he had followed her here.
Outside Grand Dynasty Hotel, he insisted on sending her back, but she refused. He couldn't say anything more to persuade her and had to give up.
The place he was going to was in the opposite direction of where she was going. When he pulled up at the traffic lights after driving for a while, he looked around casually and actually saw her in a taxi.
He didn't know where she wanted to go, and he didn't rest assured when he thought of the injury on her face, so he followed her all the time.
He followed her and saw her go to the doctor's office. Then he saw her come here, go to pay the money and then come back again. He didn't know why she came here and who she paid the money for.
He didn't dare to get too close to her, nor did he dare to follow her into the ward, so he waited outside on the corridor.
After a long time, he didn't see her come out. He couldn't help but want to have a look, even if he could only look at her through the small window on the door.
He didn't expect to see such a scene after he heard several loud quarrels. When he pushed the door open, he saw Elizabeth, the girl he cherished and appreciated the most, was lying on the ground with red cheeks. A woman was grabbing her hair and arm and trying to kill her.
He had always been patient and selfdisciplined, but he really got angry from the bottom of his heart at that moment.
Elizabeth stood there with a frown and shook her head with a forced smile, "I'm fine."
Looking at Elizabeth's red and swollen face, Xavier shouted madly, "Look at your face! It's badly injured!"
Elizabeth's body trembled. Before she could speak, Xavier let go of her, stepped forward, and stood in front of Theodore's mom, "How dare you beat her?"
When Elizabeth was here alone, Theodore's mom could deal with her. At this time, a man suddenly came in and looked very furious. She couldn't defeat him and was a little scared.
Xavier clenched his fist and grabbed Theodore's mom by the collar, "Don't think that I won't dare to beat you just because you're old! Right now, I..."
Elizabeth bent her body slightly and said in a weak voice, "Sebastian..."
Xavier's high-raised fist stopped in the midair. He turned to look at Elizabeth who was sweating with a pale face. He was so worried and quickly let go of Theodore's mom. He turned around and ran to her, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Elizabeth nodded and then shook her head lightly. At the moment, her whole body ached, and even her lower abdomen was a little painful.
"Is that so?" Xavier pursed his lips unhappily, "I just checked it out. She is from the Chaos in A City, right? Don't worry. I will definitely help you vent your anger!"
When Xavier said this, Elizabeth had a strange feeling, but she felt that she thought too much. After all, they were family.
She smiled awkwardly and shook her head, "No! Don't do that!"
"What?" Xavier frowned, "They treated you so badly, but you..."
"You want to say that I'm stupid, right?" Elizabeth smiled, "Don't interfere in this matter. I have my own plan." She came here only forthat purpose.
Although she had been beaten by Theodore's mom, she was not seriously injured. It was better to patch up the quarrel. Otherwise, she was afraid that the Chaos would slander James if they were really driven into a corner.
That was why she said that just now. They had vented their anger, and she had got what she wanted, so they no longer had anything to do with each other.
Xavier sighed, "If Jimmy knows that you've been hurt by them like this, he won't let them go. He cares about you so much. How could he let you be treated like this?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth smiled slightly. Her heart was full of bitterness, but she felt a little happy because she had finally done a good thing for him.
"If we don't tell him, he won't know about it." Elizabeth smiled at him gently, "You'll keep this secret for me, won't you? You said that we're confidants. You can't betray your confidant, can you?"
Xavier remained silent for a while before nodding in annoyance. Then he immediately looked at Elizabeth, "You two are living together. How could he not know that you're injured? So, even if I don't say it, you won't be able to hide it from him."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and didn't tell him that she and James were not on speaking terms. She just said, "Don't worry, I have a way to prevent him from knowing this. By the way, I may not be able to take a taxi with such a swollen face now. Could you please send me home later?"
