Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 415

Xavier stared at Lily for a few seconds. He leaned over the couch to grab his phone before exiting the ward.

Lily assumed that he must be figuring out a plan to save Sarah. The light in her eyes dimmed when she looked out of the window. The neon lights had just come to life, illuminating the city in a bright splash of colors.

Knowing that Xavier had gone to bail Sarah out, Lily's heart felt unbearably cold. Even though she knew from the start that when it came to Sarah, there was nothing that Xavier wouldn't do, she had foolishly harbored a small spark of hope in her heart.

She had nearly turned Xavier into a laughingstock by almost cheating on him, and her hand was now crippled. She had thought Xavier would no longer unconditionally protect Sarah without asking for anything in return. But he had still chosen to shelter her.

Outside the ward, Xavier called Timothy. "The evidence that the police have, is it enough to convict her?"

Timothy had been following Sarah's case closely. He had seen the footage from the surveillance cameras and heard the recording from Bruce's dashboard camera.

"They're not fake."

Xavier was beyond frustrated. He leaned his hand on the windowsill. The neon lights outside the window cast a brilliant glow on his handsome face.

"Sarah really has feelings for me?"

Timothy paused for a moment before replying in a small voice, "That time you got drunk and I sent you and Ms. Lynde home, I think she kissed you."

The silence that followed was deafening. Xavier gritted his teeth and hissed, "Timothy Snyder, do you have a death wish?"

Subconsciously, Xavier lifted his hand and wiped his mouth on the back of it.

"No, no, no! She didn't kiss you!" Timothy rushed to explain. "My eyes might have been playing tricks on me, which is why I never said anything…"

Xavier could hear how loudly he was grinding his teeth. When he'd suspected that Sarah liked him, he'd only been a little annoyed. Now that he knew without a doubt that she had feelings for him, his mood dropped down into the dumps.

After some time passed, Xavier said, "Find out if Sarah's camera being taken away by the organizers during the Avelons Design Competition was real or fake."

"Yes!" Timothy replied immediately, hanging up to do as he was told.

"I know. I can handle whatever the directors throw at me," Xavier replied determinedly.

No matter what happened, Xavier wouldn't extend a helping hand to Sarah. He wouldn't give Sarah even a sliver of hope.

"I understand."

Timothy didn't dare say more. Xavier gave him some orders to make some arrangements and efficiently handle anything the board of directors attempted to criticize him with when the end of the year rolled around.

After cutting the call, Xavier turned to look at the ward. His mind was a mess; he didn't know what to think of the situation. However, he did feel that he should at least say something to Lily. Just as he was about to go into the ward, he was distracted by someone calling his name.

"Xavier!" Xyla called out to him.

Xavier stopped in his tracks. He turned to see Xyla exiting the elevator. She was wearing a hospital gown.

Xyla made her way over to him. The tear tracks on her face were still fresh as she asked, "Why hasn't Sarah come back yet?"
