Chapter 212
Avery’s pov
Xade’s words sheathes around me like a comforting covering however the fear still gnawed at me, especially my mind. His familiar touch was the only thing comforting me at the moment and knowing he had faith in me to get through this was the thing I cling on to the most.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Xade stares down at me with love and determination. ” You’re a fighter baby,” his voice is low yet strong. ” You have faced so much already in such little time and you have come out stronger every single time V. This is nothing.” it was like he was trying to also believe his words.
“This is nothing compared to what you have already faced. You always win V.” he stroked his thumb over my cheek tenderly. “Please remember that.”
I took in a shaky breath and nod, clinging to his words as if they were my last hope. They were.
Xade helps me get ready and lifts me in his arms, holding me firmly and protectively. His touch was warm and familiar, like a protective barrier from the fear gnawing at every corner of my mind.
“You’re a fighter baby,” he kissed my forehead tenderly, lingering there for a bit.
I kept my hands away from him, terrified I would mark him with my claws. He sighs, bringing my head to his chest. “Listen to my heart baby. Let it calm you down,” he whispers in my ear, kissing the shell.
I shivered.
I press my ear to his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart that comforted me. With each beat that caressed my ears, calm soon took over my body.
The burning sensation in my body was numbing, the pain in my lower stomach fading. With just the sound of his heartbeat, the tidal wave in my mind was soothing to just a sway.
He stalks out of the room with me in his arms and I sink my teeth in my lower lip when I catch sight of his parents and Xaden in the corridor. They looked at me as though I was a fragile vase and with one misstep I would be broken and unable to put back together.
Xaden’s gaze was sharp with concern and his parents expressions mirrored that worry. The sinking feeling of being the one to bring them this much worry weighing down on me terribly.
Xade’s hold on me tightens, as if he knew how their gazes had triggered my anxiety once more. He stares at the doctor who shrinks under his hard stare. “Are you certain the infirmary has everything to help her?”
The doctor nods quickly, sweat beading on his forehead whilst his cheeks flush red. “Yes. Yes, I can promise you.”
Xade nods.” Then let’s go.”
As Xade carries me down the corridor, I cannot help but notice that someone is missing. My brows furrowed as I look for her but I couldn’t seem to catch any glimpse of her familiar face. “Where’s my mom?” my voice comes out faint.
I look up just in time to see Xade’s jaw tense with tension as he clenches it before he responds. ” She left.”
