Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, "What? No, I didn't mean that. I mean that you've been busy for a whole day, so you need... Forget it. You can do whatever you want."
James nodded with a smile, "Alright."
Elizabeth wanted to break away from his hand, but she suddenly stopped, "By the way, Xavier came here today. Do you know that?"
James looked down, "Yeah, I know. Mom told me."
Recalling what Xavier had said, Elizabeth felt regret about him, "Is there... something wrong with Xavier's... Well, can't he be cured?"
James' eyes widened, "You've... knew it?"
Elizabeth nodded, "He didn't say it clearly, but I think... I can understand what he meant. Otherwise, why did he say that he couldn't give Zena the life she wanted?"
For a moment James didn't say anything, and then his lips parted, "He... Uh, did Xavier say anything else?"
Elizabeth was confused by his words, "Why do you suddenly become nervous?"
James coughed lightly, "No, I'm not."
"Aright... He didn't say anything else. I guess he must be in a bad mood. But..." She looked up at him, "You know lots of doctors. Can you let them have a check-up for Xavier and see if..."
Elizabeth felt a little embarrassed, but she always felt that she shouldn't have questioned Xavier too closely, "I don't mean anything else. I just think that he has been living a hard life. As for Zena, although I don't like her, if Xavier breaks up with her just because of this, how lonely he will be in the future! Don't you think so?"
James swallowed with difficulty, feeling vexed and helpless in heart.
Seeing that James didn't speak for a long time, Elizabeth urged him, "Hey, I'm talking to you."
"I can't do anything about it." James sighed heavily, "That is his psychological disorder. If he wants to recover, he can only rely on himself." Otherwise, Zena would not say those words to him at that time. Moreover, if taking medicine was useful, Xavier would not...
"What?" Elizabeth was extremely surprised, "What's wrong with him? What happened in the past?"
James frowned. He did not want to continue this topic, so he said perfunctorily, "Nothing. Don't ask anymore." After that, he added, "By the way, don't ask him. After all... it's not a good thing. If you ask him, you'll burden him and embarrass him more."
Elizabeth nodded, "I see. I'm not so stupid. I'm just a little shocked. By the way, mom and dad don't know about it, do they?"
"Mmm. Xavier doesn't want them to worry, so don't tell them." After that, he patted Elizabeth on the shoulder, "Let's stop talking about this."
He... really didn't want to talk about this anymore.
That night, both of Zena and Elizabeth talked about this matter, and he was really a little annoyed. No, he was not annoyed, but just felt powerless, somewhat regretful and guilty.
He didn't think that he had done something wrong, because he regretted it and stopped it at that time. However...
At this time, Zena blamed him, and Xavier had broken up with Zena because of what happened in the past. What could he say?
Therefore, he didn't want to talk or think about it. He had become reconciled with Xavier, and he really didn't want to live in pain and selfblame anymore.
He had tried his best to make up for Xavier, and there was nothing else he could do. What he needed to do was to live his own life. Although he was a little selfish, he didn't have any other choices, did he?
"Oh." Elizabeth nodded, "If you have time, talk to Xavier more often. He must be in a bad mood now."
James sighed, "I see."
"Okay." Elizabeth was relieved, "Go and take a shower."
