"But... it doesn't matter." Zena smiled faintly, "I don't care, and this is not something important. Am I right?"
"Zena, you can't think like this." Xavier said, "I know that you are sad, but Jimmy is angry now. When he calms down, I will plead for you and he will agree. What do you think?" Although he said so, he knew that it was impossible for James to change his mind.
"Stop persuading me." Zena shook her head, "Whether he will agree or not, I've made up my mind."
"What do you mean?"
Zena sniffed and looked at Xavier, "I... have made up my mind. I want to go abroad."
"Go abroad?" Xavier was dumbfounded for a moment, "What are you going to do aboard?"
"Whatever. I don't know. I just want to relax myself. If there is a suitable job aboard, maybe I will work there. My parents may not agree with me. You know that they always want me to go back to work in the company, but I'm really not interested in business."
Hearing this, Xavier just said, "Well, that's
good. As long as you're in a good mood, you can do everything well wherever. Then... do your parents know your decision?"
"No, I came up with this idea all of a sudden. But..." Zena pointed to her face, "I wanted to tell them my decision on the phone. But I am in my early thirties, so I can't be so willful. If I go aboard, I may not come back in a short time. When my face is healed, I will go back and tell them."
"Okay."
"It's just that..." Zena smiled at Xavier, "Perhaps it will be very difficult for me to meet you again. Maybe this is my last time to see you."
Xavier paused, "If possible, I can go to see you when I go aboard in the future."
"There's no need." Zena said in a hurry, "I came to bid you farewell."
After that, she laughed, "On the way here, I thought I had a lot of words to say to you. But... now I don't know what to say. This is good. I don't want to be hypocritical."
"Zena, how did you get injured today?"
"Don't ask this. If I tell you that someone pushed me, will you believe me?"
Xavier stared at Zena for a while. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Well, I've said goodbye to you. I... should go." After that, Zena stood up and looked at Xavier meaningfully for a while, "I'm really leaving."
Xavier nodded and stood up as well.
The two of them walked to the door silently. Zena was really about to leave, while Xavier saw her off politely.
Watching Zena walking slowly, Xavier sighed with emotions in heart.
In fact, he thought that it was good for Zena to make such a choice. Jimmy wouldn't change his decision, so she couldn't do anything here. It was better for her to leave here. The most important thing for her was to be in a good mood.
Back then, he could start a new life because he left this heart-wrenching place.
Zena opened the door and was about to step out when she stopped again. She clenched her hands and suddenly turned around, "Xavier..."
"Isn't he a member of our family? Besides, your father and you have sent people to find Elizabeth. If Xavier comes back, he can also help us. He has a wide range of contacts, so he can ask his friends to look for Elizabeth, right?"
"You are really..."
"Aunt, uncle." Xavier stood at the entrance of the living room. When he saw James, he was stunned for a moment before he walked over, "Didn't you go to work today?"
James kept silent and didn't speak. At this time, he didn't know what to say. He had promised Xavier that he would help him find those people and solve his problem. But he couldn't even find his wife. Wasn't he useless? Moreover, it would make Xavier feel uneasier.
"Yeah, he won't go to work these days." Seeing that James did not speak, Lydia had to say, "Xavier, come and sit down."
"Aunt, why did you call me?" Lydia spoke in a worried tone on the phone, and she didn't tell him what had happened and only asked him to come back immediately.
John did not say a word, but James suddenly stood up, "Mom, Xavier is busy. Let him go back."
Hearing this, Xavier glanced at James blandly and did not ask anything more.
However, Lydia scolded James, "Xavier is not an outsider! Do you forget what I said just now?"
"No..."
Before James could finish his words, Xavier asked, "Aunt, what on earth has happened?" "Oh, you know a lot of people. I just want you to do me a favor. Can you ask your friends to pay attention to the girls they meet and help us find her?"
Xavier glanced at Lydia and John, "Who?"
