"Freya, your complexion doesn't look too good, are you sick?"

Freya did not deny it, and told him about her condition, "I have been poinsoned by the snake venom of the warlord family, the has already invaded my internal organs, but don't worry, Mr. kane is already researching an antidote for me, I believe there will be results soon."

"Mr. kane?"

"Yes, we have found Gordon, he is not only a chemist, but also quite knowledgeable in toxicology. And after so many years in the underground maze, he is very familiar with snake venom."

Bradley said.

Xavier was surprised, he didn't expect so much to happen in the days he was away.

Hawke's eyes lit up when he heard about the toxicology expert, "Young Master, could you introduce me to Mr. kane? Perhaps I can be of some help."

After studying medicine for so many years, Hawke was deep in medical knowledge, but he did not have much research on toxicology. Now, hearing Bradley mention Gordon, he suddenly became interested.

"Good, this time you come back, start working with Gordon to develop the antidote together."

Bradley had someone bring Hawke and Gordon to meet, with Hawke's participation, Freya was quickly saved.

Although taking the pills developed by Gordon can suppress the spread of toxicity caused by the snake venom, the lingering effects still need Freya to needle acupuncture to suppress.

Without staying long in the study, Freya returned to her room for acupuncture.

Bradley and Xavier chatted in the study for a while, looking at his skin that couldn't be hidden by the mask, Bradley opened his mouth faintly.

"What are your plans for this return?"

Xavier's tying paused, sighed deeply, "My current situation is no different from being useless, I don't know..."

"When do you plan on confessing to her?"

Without waiting for him to say anything discouraging, Bradley coldly interrupted. The people around him were all surviving on the cutting edge, he would not allow anyone's will to waver, even to continue to be weak and dejected.

"Young master, I..."

Xavier clenched his fists, his heart full of panic.

The words Ella said when he left, circled in his mind like a curse, he knew he was weak, and knew he did not deserve to be a man, but he couldn't bring himself to be honest with Ella now.

"Even if you don't say it, I believe with Ella's familiarity with you, she should have some suspicions. Do you really think hiding it like this is the best choice for her? Xavier, listen to my advice, just tell her the truth!"

Xavier's shoulders trembled several times, his fists involuntarily clenched tightly together.

Yes, she probably had already suspected it, otherwise in just a short ten days of being together she had tested him several times.

But even so, until he confessed, he was still just Kane!

Bradley looked at him in pain, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying with deep meaning, "Think about it carefully, avoiding is not the solution, I believe Ella has been waiting for your answer!"

After speaking, he did not stay longer, got up and left the study.

When the vast space was left with only him, Xavier lay weakly on the sofa, his heart in turmoil.

Little did he know that at the door, Bradley had just met Ella.

"Young Master!"

Ella respectfully greeted him.

Just as she received news that Hawke and Kane had also returned, she wanted to come over and take a look.

Bradley glanced deeply at Ella, but in the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded and walked away.

Ella stood at the door for a long time. After her heart gradually calmed down, she reached out to knock on the door.

At that moment, a low, sobbing voice of a man came from inside. Ella slowly lowered her hand that was just raised.

The voice carried the pain of a difficult choice, striking her heart with every sound.

Having experienced all kinds of worldly emotions, Ella had cultivated a cold and callous heart. But at this moment, her heart softened slightly, and tears silently flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

She clenched her fist to wipe away the tears on her face, since letting him be honest was so difficult, so be it!

Ella closed her eyes, took a deep breath, turned around to act as if she had never come, when suddenly the door was opened at that moment.

"Ella...

When Xavier saw the person in front of him, his entire body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably, even his voice carried an indescribable bitterness.

Ella didn't turn back, just calmly said, "I heard that you and Dr. Hawke also came, so I came to take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a tightness around her waist, and trembling hands held her in an embrace.

"I'm sorry, forgive me for being too weak!"

He was not wearing a mask at that moment, his face after being injured was full of pits and bumps, extremely ugly.

But he didn't care anymore.

Everything was right, no matter what he looked like, in Ella's heart, he was still Xavier, whom she deeply loved.

Ella slowly turned around, and when she faced his appearance, her pupils contracted sharply twice.

Originally, she had some contempt for this man in her heart, but at this moment she suddenly understood why Xavier was willing to hide in the shadows and not acknowledge her. After all, if it were her, she might not be able to face anyone with this face."

The tears that had just been stopped, once again could not be controlled and fell down. Ella raised his trembling hands and gently brushed the man's face, his voice was choked with emotion, clearly wanting to say many things in his heart, but unable to speak a single word at this moment.

"Am I very ugly?"

Xavier felt the warmth of her fingertips and his deep eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, his whole body tense, worried that she would say something to reject herself.

However, Ella unexpectedly took off her veil in front of him, exposing her face, full of scars.

"Do you think I am qualified to reject you in this state?" she said, clenching her fist and lightly hitting his chest. "Who do you think I am? The person I love is you, not this face. Even if this face can never be repaired, you are still the man who promised to marry me."

As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably, wetting her entire face.

Xavier tightly held her small hand, full of pain, and said, "I will have Hawke repair your face, scars are not difficult to fix, as long as you..."

"I don't care."

Ella interrupted him, speaking coldly, "Until you recover, I will stay by your side with this appearance, we can be an ugly couple."

The heavy atmosphere lightened considerably because of Ella's words.

Xavier hugged her tightly, feeling a joy of recovery filling his chest, finally releasing the suppressed emotions he had been feeling recently.

Not far away, Freya and Bradley watched the scene with pleased smiles.

"They have weathered many storms together, I just hope that the special medicine can eventually restore their appearances and bring Everyone back to the beginning."

"Yes, Hawke is a renowned international expert in facial reconstruction. When my face was severely damaged years ago, he personally restored it."

Bradley held her hand as they walked back, his voice suddenly becoming very serious.

"You are my greatest hope now. Only when you are well, can I truly see the moonlight."

She, who was actually the most pitiful woman, was all about considering others, not caring at all about her own situation.

Seeing his seriousness, Freya smiled and pinched his cheek, "I will be fine. For the sake of our child, and for you, I am not willing to die!"
