[Ellie's P.O.V]
I felt a bit angry at Xavier's stubbornness. I was about to insist on making him rest, but Karina shook her head silently and Anton held me back. "Let him go. Since he was determined to come here, he must have a plan. Besides, he's not a child anymore; he has his own ideas."
"But he..."
If Xavier were perfectly healthy, I wouldn't stop him. However, he looked fragile now, and that blow, enough to claim half his life, was delivered by Leah, a proficient healer herself.
Seeing that neither of them intended to stop him, I had no choice but to instruct Xavier, "If you feel any discomfort in your body, stop immediately. Don't force yourself, understand?"
"Okay," Xavier nodded.
He scanned the crowd, and the people were also surreptitiously examining him, their discussions starting up again.
"Tsk tsk, he can be ruthless. He actually severed ties with his own aunt. But that Mrs. sure did something shameful."
