Chapter 762 She Was Seeking Her Own Death


    Zoelle eximed in a yful tone, "Seriously? With that girl you’re always hanging around?"


    Looking at the woman beside him, Noah gently replied, "Yes."


    "Not bad. Looks like you''ve achieved your goal. I’ll definitely be there for your wedding. As for


    treating this person, I''ll have to take a look at their condition first. Email me the patient''s information


    and I''ll take a look."


    "Okay."


    Chloe did not hear the contents of their conversation and stared at him with anticipation. "How did it


    go? Did Dr. Z agree?"


    "Most likely."


    "Thank you so much. If not for you knowing Dr. Z, Vanya would be as good as dead and we won''t


    be able to get anything useful out of her."


    A sharp glint shed through Noah''s eyes as his eyebrows went up.


    How could sewer rats be given the chance to see the sunlight? Vanya knew a lot of secrets and was


    destined to die. Instead of lingering in agony, she had managed to find a glimmer of hope. Little did


    she know she was about to meet her demise.

    In the afternoon, sunlight shone through a window onto two figures on a bed.


    Keh gazed at the naked woman in his arms, recalling the passion he and Xavia had indulged in


    last night. His face turned red as he chided himself for hisck of self-control. He came here to


    change a lightbulb, yet he had acted like some kind of sex-crazed man. They were not even married


    yet and he already could not resist making love to her, which was inappropriate morally and


    logically.


    As he pondered about how to get his parents to approve of Xavia and speed up their rtionship,


    the phone on the coffee table rang. He lifted the covers and went to turn the phone off.


    When he was halfway there, Xavia woke up and asked with a drowsy voice, "Mm? Who''s calling?"


    Keh''s eyes met hers, his eyes tracing her graceful figure under the covers. His face turned red


    again as he stammered, "I-I''ll go check. Hmm, there’s no name. it just says EH."


    Xavia trembled and jumped out of bed, snatching the phone from Keh. He instinctively averted


    his gaze away from her unclothed body, failing to notice her unusual behavior. He said, "I’ll get you


    some clothes so that you won''t catch a cold."

    Her fingers trembled as she hung up the call, then noticed that Noah had called her twicest night.


    It was probably Noah who instructed Eustace to call her.


    "What''s wrong? You look really pale," Keh asked as he draped a shawl over her, finally sensing


    that something was off.


    Xavia hid the phone behind her back and forced a smile. "I-I''m fine."


    "Was I too roughst night? Did I hurt you?" He was inexperienced and relied on trial and error. He


    was certain that he must have hurt herst night.


    She lowered her head and said with a sob, "It''s not that... I’d never force you to do anything. Is that


    what you think of me? Do you think I’d sell my body to enter the royal family?"


    "I didn''t mean it that way. I was just giving you a promise. I swear I won''t let you down."


    "That''s all that matters."


    Keh felt his heart melt at Xavia’s care and gentleness. He said, "I love you, Vee, and I promise


    you will not suffer in the future."


    Nestling into his embrace, Xavia nodded softly. "Okay."

    A little whileter, Keh left to return to the pce to discuss the marriage with his mother. When


    he got downstairs, he saw a man standing there with a little girl who looked about five years old.


    Eustace looked at Keh and smiled with a hint of mockery on his face.
