As soon as Sabrina left the room, a few minutes later, Melissa arrived completely worried, leaving him no time to mull over Sabrina's earlier presence in the room.
"Raf, how's Xavier?" Melissa asked panic-stricken, showing on her expression. She immediately went to Xavier's bedside to check on his condition. She could not stop her tears from falling, seeing his baby boy in a weakened state.
Although this was not the first time that Xavier had an allergic episode, so far, this was the worse case he had been since the day he was diagnosed.
He strode to her side and placed his arms around her. "He's gonna be fine, Melissa." He assured her, stroking her hair to comfort her.
"Thanks, Raf. For always being present in his life." Melissa took the tissue Raf offered and wiped the tears on her face. She seldom cried, not particularly a fan of showing weakness, but when it came to Xavier, she easily succumbed to fear.
