Surprise surrounded Xavier until the man for a moment could only be flabbergasted as Sera sprayed her entrails right over the entire front of Xavier's clothes.
But, it's already been. Xavier could not escape the vomit and all he could do was hold Sera's staggered body, while professionally, his hand moved around against Sera's back to help her relieve herself.
Sera continued to vomit uncontrollably until finally there was nothing else she could spit out other than a thick yellow liquid that was so bitter that its bitterness spread mercilessly, filling her tongue and the entire oral cavity.
"Ma.pardon me..," Sera's voice sounded weakly trembling as she forced herself to open her mouth to speak. “I had a panic attack.. and my medicine was not there.” Sera's voice trembled as the woman spoke between her vomit, trying to control herself but unable.
Xavier did not make a sound, the man just patted and stroked Sera's back slowly, his attitude was calm, and somehow, a rhythmic pat on Sera's back, could guide her to control her breathing that had been choking irregularly.
Sera's eyes were still closed, she continued to breathe through her mouth, then swallowed deeply, putting as much oxygen as possible into her lungs which had been squeezed by the invisible giant hand.
Along with his breathing that began to be regular, Sera's heart rate also slowly returned to beat with a normal rhythm.Sera then opened his eyes, his vision that had been blurry and spinning had begun to be able to focus and clear again. But, at this time his legs really feel powerless, unable to support his body that is slow to lose power. The only one keeping him standing was Xavier clutching his shoulders.
Luckily the man remained calm and seemed not to be disturbed by the actions of Sera who puked him. In fact, it did not appear at all a single glint of disdain in the eyes of the man at this moment.
"Are you done?" Xavier's grip on Sera's shoulder tightened along with the question he asked.When Sera did not answer, Xavier slightly pushed Sera against the wall and let the wall become Sera's backrest. Meanwhile, Xavier's hand moved to touch the woman's chin and scan her deathly pale face.
"Is there nothing to be done anymore?" Xavier asked back in a calm manner.
Sera boughtak looked at Xavier, his eyes implying guilt, but somehow Xavier seemed to have a strong hypnotic aura that made anyone willing to follow orders or answer his questions. Sera, according to her, scanned the nuances of her own stomach and realized that although her mouth still left a trace of bitter taste, her nausea had already begun to subside.
"Not nauseated anymore" Sera looked at Xavier's white shirt, and guilt immediately swept back. "K-your shirt...,"
"Ignore that. Just a little bit of vomit won't bother me. Did you forget I always dealt with humans who were exposed to poison and the effects were even more terrifying than vomiting?" Xavier narrowed his eyes, watching Sera's reaction and spoke deliberately. "They all showed more disgusting reactions than just spewing out their bowels. There were all of his internal organs exploding and they were spitting out a thick black liquid smelling foul, some of which had all of his skin blistered, filled with rancid pus-filled rinses that splashed everywhere....," Xavier looked down, staring at his shirt. "But usually I'm not so careless as to expose myself to the waste residue from the toxic effects."
"Hen-stop!" Sera moved her hand to close her mouth as her stomach started to churn again. The terrible things Xavier threw were clearly drawn in his brain, making his stomach churn again.
Xavier grinned, but the man decided not to bother Sera again. His footsteps retreated and his grip on Sera slipped off. Then, without a word and with his calm attitude under control, Xavier let go of his shirt.Sera frowned at Xavier's behavior.
"What do you want?" tanyanya was suspicious.
After vomiting earlier, Sera finally managed to master her bit by bit. Although his breathing was still stinginging and cold sweat was pouring down his temple, the horrifying memory shadow no longer suffocated his breathing path, until Sera was able to calm herself down slowly.
"You still asking?" Xavier raised an eyebrow and removed the shirt and threw it into the trash can in the corner of the room. "The janitor will take care of it later." After saying that, Xavier stepped back towards Sera with intimidating slow steps.
Reflexively, Sera raised both of her palms in front of her body to block Xavier's steps."Y-you're not wearing clothes..," said Sera stammered while trying to look away.
Xavier's body was slender, but it turned out that the man had well-trained hard muscles behind the clothes that disguised him. And now, being in a position like this in a cramped room with his mental state that had yet to recover properly, made Sera feel cornered and horrified.
Unfortunately, Xavier showed absolutely no mercy when facing Sera. The man of course knew that Sera was not comfortable near him who was not dressed, but it did not hold back his steps to stand very close to Sera.
Xavier touched Sera's shoulder once again and straightened the woman's body, which used the wall behind her as a buffer. His eyes took a look, examining carefully before then drawing a calm conclusion.
“Your face is fine, not splashed anything,” gently Xavier tucked a long strand of hair that covered the side of Sera's face and tucked it behind her ear. The man then sighed Sera's body and guided her to stand facing the sink on the other side of the bathroom wall. “Maybe you need to freshen up?” slowly tanyanya.
Sera was eager to gargle and splash cold water on her face while cursing herself because she showed her weakness, stupidly he could not control his emotions and even suffered a panic attack when he faced his greatest enemy.
Undeniably, Xavier would definitely use this weakness of his to attack him someday.
“Can't you come out?” xavier raised his eyebrows, his eyes glanced slightly at the vomit marks, the ceramic jars that broke into pieces, and also the trash can where he threw his shirt away.
“Are you okay being left alone? Or are you gonna make trouble again?” ask Xavier not sure.
Sera biting her lips, hating herself for her weakness had made Xavier have reason to ridicule her.
“I'm fine,” says quickly, want Xavier to go from there immediately.
Luckily this time Xavier decided not to prolong the confrontation, the man threw a quick glance at Sera, then stepped out of the bathroom and left Sera alone.
When Sera came out of the bathroom door of the hospital, a cleaning service officer seemed to be on standby and waiting at the door. The attendant nodded politely, then stepped inside the bathroom immediately to clear up the mess that Sera had made before.
Sera glanced towards that bathroom, and guilt was implied in her eyes. He had frothyly cleaned what could be cleaned with potluck in there, but as there was no cleaning liquid or brush that could be used to scrub the floor, it was not, Sera wasn't sure if what she was doing was enough to help the janitor.
“Sera. Come.”
Xavier's voice implying his arrogant mastery inevitably attracted Sera's attention. He took his eyes off the bathroom door and his face immediately came face to face with Xavier.
The man was already wearing a new outfit, a soft brown sweater that perfectly matched his amazingly attractive face. His hair looked wet, as if the man had not only changed his clothes, but had also taken the time to bathe and clean himself.
Leisurely, Xavier sat on the edge of Sera's care bed and extended his hand towards the woman. His attitude was firm, as if forcing Sera to welcome a helping hand.
Sera had no choice but to walk closer. However, he stopped hesitantly at arm's length from Xavier, keeping the distance he thought was safest near Xavier and ignoring the man's helping hand.
Xavier thinned his lips at Sera's defensive stance, then the man grabbed a small glass tube located on the nightstand beside the bed, took out a tablet from there and stretched it towards Sera.
Sera looked at the tablet presented in Xavier's palm that looked back at her and when her eyes lifted back up to meet Xavier's eyes, she did not hide the horrified expression that adorned there.
“What other poison are you going to give me?” ask him with blatant accusations.
Xavier chuckles. “I've stored my best poison in your body, why would I poison you again?” he answered without guilt, then looked at Sera firmly. “Doctor Nathan can't come here to handle you, he prescribed this medicine for you to take.”
Xavier's voice turned low and cautious. “It's a sedative and will make you sleep.”
“Do you want to sedate me and force your will on me?” Sera did not give up, did not hesitate to voice her accusations.
This time, Xavier did not hold back. The man chuckled. “If I want to do something to you, you should keep it in good order, because I prefer if you... are conscious when I do.”.
Xavier's sentence was spoken casually and slowly so that Sera understood the implied meaning behind it, and of course Sera understood. His cheeks were red, filled with shame that could not be hidden.
There was no point in confronting Xavier. Regarding the medicine offered by the man, even though he had deliberately uttered his suspicions, Sera recognized the tablet from her container, which she had received, and realize that it is the same as the drug given by his doctor to overcome panic attacks that can befall him at any time.
Afterwards, Sera half slammed the water glass onto the table and looked at Xavier with her chin raised haughtily.
“What else?” his challenge was valiant.
Xavier's eyes were brilliant by a sense of joy that was not hidden.
“After this you mean?”
“Yes. What more do you want from me after this?” sahut Sera fast.
Once again Xavier looked at Sera with a gaze that seemed to plunge into his soul.
“I want everything from you,” muttered Xavier calmly, half whispered half promised. Then, without waiting for Sera's reaction, the man got up from his sitting position on the edge of the bed and walked over to Sera. “But, for now, let's go home with me,” take her gently, but of course it's impossible to accept rejection.
All the way home, Sera fell asleep.
Maybe because of the effect of the drug he took, it may also be due to the effects of psychological fatigue due to panic attacks that have just attacked him.
Panic attack.
Doctor Nathan said that all the symptoms experienced by Sera, almost similar to those experienced by Akram. The woman had a panic attack, and all of them were triggered by Xavier's presence.
Well, it's possible, however, that given both Akram and Sera, both traumatized by seeing Anastasia's last terrible condition after she committed suicide. It was Akram who discovered Anastasia's body for the first time, and Sera was tortured in a dark room full of images of Anastasia's corpse in its worst condition.
Somehow, these two creatures are the same as linking the terrible condition with him, causing their panic attacks triggered every interaction with him.
To Akram, after they cleared up the misunderstanding, his sister seemed to have also managed to overcome her prolonged trauma. As for Serafina….
Xavier glanced slightly at his shoulder, where the woman leaned her head without any self-defense at all. Sera tilted her bowed head with dangling hair covering her face, while the woman rested her entire body weight leaning against Xavier's arm.
Indeed, Xavier had already decided to withdraw before Sera came into his life. He feels he has had enough and has already achieved the fulfillment of his life goals. He felt it was time for him to stop and free this world from its polluting existence.
But then Serafina comes along, carrying a past grudge against something that is really beyond Xavier's control. This woman had stopped her path to the return she had fully intended.
Xavier's hand moved to embrace Sera's back, then set the position of the woman's body to curl firmly in her chest. Meanwhile Xavier leaned his head back, then closed his eyes.
Later. After he had settled everything related to his past debt towards Serafina Moon, then he would stop completely.
Xavier took a long breath. Then a peaceful smile fell on her lips as she finally let her nerve neurons wander and coaxed her into a dream world capable of fading away her fatigue.
Yep. Serafina Moon may be the path that will help her to do penance, release all burdens, before then surrender herself at the end point.
A servant woke Sera early that morning. They immediately opened the window and dazzled Sera's eyes with sunlight, then helped Sera stand up, led her to take a bath, get dressed and helped her to get ready with robot-like coordination, no matter how confused Sera found herself waking up in the same room she had been in the last time in Xavier's house.
When Sera was ready, she saw that the servants had prepared all the clothes and equipment. They also packed the clothes in a suitcase that belonged to no one and prepared it for Sera.
Was the suitcase prepared for her? Where are they going?
Unfortunately, there was no chance for Sera to get an answer to the question, because afterwards, without giving Sera the opportunity to ask or refute, he said, they herded Sera through a long hallway into the front area of the house that looked like a spacious living room with large glass windows on all sides that allowed the sun's twinkle to enter freely against the glass layer and illuminate the whole room.
Xavier stood there, wearing a dark suit that contrasted with the gleam of aura that seemed to illuminate his entire body. The man turned his head when he heard the sound of Sera's footsteps approaching, then put on his smile when he saw Sera's presence nearby.
Bathed in the sunlight, Xavier reached out his hand towards Sera, asking to be welcomed.And once again, Sera refused the helping hand. He hid his hands behind his back to show his defiance, then looked back at Xavier with a suspicious attitude.
His eyes glanced at the prepared suitcases, then he asked.
“Where are we going?”
Xavier pulled back his breathable hand, then replied in a meaningfully calm voice.
“We're leaving for Russia. To visit a family that has long been lost.”
Xavier's words made Sera widen her eyes. There was no need for an explanation anymore because Sera could immediately understand the meaning. The Dawn family is hiding in Russia, and Xavier will visit them.
"What...what are you going to do?" sera's lips trembled as she ventured to ask.
Xavier grinned, his dark expression looking in contrast to his body bathed in the bright luminaries of the sun.
"I'll set you free Serafina Moon." Xavier's eyes flashed vilely as if he could not wait to drench his hands with blood. "In that way, I will also set myself free" he continued in a mysterious tone that inexplicably implied a grievous silence.
