Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 998

Xander's gene modification was for his IQ. Therefore, when something went wrong with his body, his symptoms were not as intense as Caleb's and Queenie's. Instead, it would only be apparent in one way—falling into a coma.

Nora checked his breathing. When she found that he was breathing evenly, she let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, even if Xander were to die, he would only be brain-dead.

Even Nora could not be sure when he would wake up again.

Nora's grim expression filled the whole Hunt residence with a depressive mood.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Xander finally woke up.

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief at once.

Cherry was the first to speak. "Xander, why did you sleep for so long? You've become as lazy as Mommy!"

Pete kept quiet.

No one had told Cherry about what was soon to come. All of them wanted to protect her.

When Xander heard her, his expression became dazed for a while before he finally said with a smile, "Tsk, I'm having a competition with Pete to see who can sleep for a longer time. As I expected, I managed to sleep longer. I must be the eldest among us!"

Xander had a smug look on his face.

Cherry, who didn't know better, nodded again and again. "Yeah! You're amazing! Even Mommy can't sleep as much as you!"

Xander sat up and raised his chin.

Next to him, Pete stayed quiet for a long while before he finally said, "Yeah, you're more impressive. You're the older brother."

Xander's eyes lit up.

Seeing the three children's interaction, Nora and Justin couldn't help but say, "Alright, let's get Xander something to eat!"

The group accompanied Xander downstairs for dinner.

Cherry yawned repeatedly.

She was usually already in bed by this time.

Xander ate something and then said to Cherry, "Cherry, you can go to sleep first."
