Medical room.

In the hospital room.

Ella couldn't help it in the end, and let herself be pushed to Xavier's hospital room.

From a distance, she saw Xavier with his sleeves rolled up and his body wrapped in thick bandages.

He still hadn't woken up, even in a coma, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

She approached carefully, the man's handsome face was pale and colorless, even his usually gentle lips were slightly cracked and peeling. Ella felt a tightness in her chest, even breathing was difficult.

She gently stroked the man's face, her eyes moist with tears.

"Fool, why did you come to save me, why did you shield me from those shards, aren't you afraid of death?" Hot tears fell from her eyes, clear and transparent, landing on the man's face.

Xavier's eyelids twitched, and in that instant of opening his eyes, he tightly held her small hand, "Because, you are my woman!"

This sentence made Ella cry uncontrollably. She threw herself into his arms, tears flowing like a rushing river that couldn't be stopped.

"I don't want you to risk your life to save me. If something were to happen to you, the burden of guilt on me would be even greater."

"It's nothing, this small injury won't take my life!"

Xavier gently wiped away her tears, wanting to hug her but accidentally touching her wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

Ella panicked, choking out, "Just be calm, you've broken two ribs, don't move!"

The more she panicked, the more tears flowed endlessly.

Ella had never realized she cried so easily, once she started crying, the tears wouldn't stop.

Xavier watched her cry so much that he dared not breathe, only anxiously comforting her, "Please, don't cry. My heart will break if you continue."

But his words only triggered more tears from Ella.

This crying lasted for an unknown period of time before Ella gradually calmed down.

But because she cried so hard, her eyes were red and swollen, even her voice became hoarse, "Let me see how badly you are injured."

Freya said Xavier not only had broken ribs, but the wounds on his back were also appalling, basically no different from a hornet's nest.

The man moved his body and comforted with a smile, "It's nothing, I can get out of bed in a few days."

He knew his injuries well, but he worried that Ella could not bear to see them.

The strength of the giant python was great. Even if his physical fitness was good, he could not withstand being thrown out by it several times.

"Even with broken ribs, you say it's nothing." Ella choked up, tears still swirling in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xavier became anxious again. If he said another 'no' word, this woman would probably cry again.

"You can take a look, but promise me, don't be sad, don't blame yourself! How can a real man not shed blood? Being injured for the woman you love is worth risking your life for."

After he finished speaking, he tightly held her hand, kissed it on the lips, and asked, "Have you also been injured? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm fine!" Ella hid her injured hand behind her back, not wanting him to see her like this. Although Freya had already helped her remove the poison, she had to pierce all five fingers to release the blood due to the spread of toxicity. Now her whole hand was hideously scary, and she was worried that Xavier would be scared if he saw it. However, no matter how she hid it, Xavier still noticed that her hand was wrapped in thick bandages. In that instant, his heart ached intensely. He trembled as he gently held her wrist hidden behind her, his eyes crimson, "Does it hurt?" Ella shook her head, "It doesn't hurt. I could endure the pain of being stabbed by Jade in the heart before, so this small wound is nothing." The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Xavier felt. "It's all my fault for not being able to kill Jade for you, and letting you get poisoned because of me. If anything happens to you, I will never forgive myself in this lifetime!" "No, it's Jade's cunning. I never expected her to release that poison!" The thought of Jade secretly raising that giant python which she discovered in the past made Ella's eyes turn very cold. She had once advised her to stop such behavior, but Jade did not restrain herself and instead recklessly fed it human blood."

Ella wanted to kill this python several times, but it went mad when it touched blood, even biting her subordinates to death because of it.

For this matter, Ella once wanted to report it to the lord, but before she could speak, Jade plotted to harm her life.

"Ella—"

Xavier suddenly called out to her.

Ella grunted in response, looking at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She saw Xavier holding her hand, his eyes extremely firm, "Whatever you want to do in the future, I will be by your side. If you want revenge, I will kill for you behind your back. If you want to destroy the entire Raven Pavilion, I will set fire for you from behind. But please don't make me worry anymore, and don't go into danger alone, okay?"

Ella listened to his words, looked at him blankly, and when she came to her senses, she nodded heavily.

"Okay, I won't leave you alone anymore!"

The man smiled, ignoring his injuries, tightly hugging her like that!

The next day.

After Freya rested, her spirits finally recovered somewhat.

As she went downstairs, she passed by the study and heard Bradley on the phone. She couldn't hear what the other person was saying, but his tone was extremely cold.

However, she faintly heard that it was about Matthew from the conversation.

After the man finished the call, Freya anxiously ran in, hugged him from behind, and asked, "Has there been any news about Matthew?"

It had been three or four days since Matthew was taken away. Gabriel would call every day to report on the situation, but the results were not satisfactory.

"The entire city's surveillance has been checked, but there is no trace of Shadow. I suspect that she did not appear in the city and may have left along a small road, avoiding surveillance all the way."

Freya felt uneasy in her heart and said, "If that's the case, finding Shadow will be like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Seeing her trembling all over, Bradley held her tighter and said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will find her, give me some time, it won't be too long."

"But I'm worried that Shadow will harm Matthew."

They can afford to wait, but they can't afford to wait too long.

Every second of delay adds a second of danger.

No one can guarantee that Shadow won't go mad and exploit a child.

"I understand your worries, but worrying now is useless. We can only calm down and wait for Shadow to appear on her own."

"From what I know about Shadow, she won't hide for long. She will soon strike on her own initiative. After all, don't forget, we have a hidden traitor among us!"

Upon hearing this, Freya furrowed her brows with determination.

Yes.

A traitor.

Shadow will do anything to save herself and will definitely make good use of this traitor against them.

Once she makes a move, they will be able to follow the trail and find out where she is hiding.

"These days I will secretly send someone to protect you. I'm worried that yingyi might do something to harm you, so please don't wander around lately."

Freya obediently nodded, "Don't worry, I will just go to the medical room and nowhere else."

"Okay, be obedient!"
