Her words were filled with anger, condemnation, and hatred.
To her, work should always be the number one priority.
To top it all off, how could he play around with such a big project like the Green Space Project?
Keith also used to make work his priority, but when he saw how ill Xavia was, he felt suffocated.
“Mom, I got that project because of Xavia. Shouldn’t I be taking care of her now that she is ill? I know what I'm doing. I will go and work on it once Xavia wakes up.”
“You’re waiting for her to wake up? Are you a doctor? Does she need you to be waiting for her to wake up?” Helen was angry.
Her loud voice echoed in the room, noisy and irritating.
Xavia vaguely heard it and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the blurred figures around her and whispered hoarsely, “Water…”
Keith heard her voice and walked over to her immediately. “Xavia? You’re awake? Here, have some water.”
Keith took a tube and placed it by her mouth.
Helen's head hurt as she watched him.
When had her son ever taken care of someone like this?
“Xavia Lockhart, you had better stop pretending to be sick! Don’t mess up Keith’s work. You—”
“Mom!” Keith interrupted her. He turned around, his eyes dark as he said sharply, “Xavia needs to rest. You should leave.”
This was the first time he had ever spoken to his mother like that.
The corners of Helen’s mouth twitched. She would never have thought that her son would speak to her like this because of a girl!
Her resentment for Xavia only increased. She glared at Xavia fiercely then said to Keith, “You must go to the company tomorrow.”
After that, she stormed out.
The atmosphere instantly quietened down.
Keith looked at Xavia tenderly. “Don’t mind her. How are you feeling?”
