“Why don't you eat first?”
Xavier came out with his hair still wet. The man tied a towel around his waist and rubbed his hair with a small towel in his hand. His eyes glanced towards Sera's reddened cheeks and his lips unraveled a smile.
“The food menu is very much\, I think we should spend it together.” Sera was finally able to answer\, desperately trying to ignore the embarrassment that caused her cheeks to turn red from seeing Xavier's half-naked body before her*.*
Why does he feel ashamed? Xavier himself looked ordinary.
“I took a very long shower,” Xavier chuckled as if laughing at himself. “Horms,” later. “I'm sorry, you're so enduring hunger huh.”
“I'm not that hungry.” Sera is hungry, especially his activities with Xavier last night have drained his energy. But he had already drunk a glass of milk enough to fill his stomach for a while. He waited for Xavier to eat breakfast together in addition to helping him finish the meal, also because he wanted to talk sitting seriously with Xavier.
“Then wait a minute, I'll be quick.” Leisurely, Xavier stepped across the hospital room and opened the wardrobe available there. The butler had come earlier and delivered a change of clothes for him and for Sera so they did not have to worry about what clothes to wear today. The man picked up a white shirt and black pants that folded neatly, then changed clothes shamelessly in front of Sera who immediately looked away with a puff.
As he said, it did not take long for Xavier to change clothes, the man then approached while carrying a black suit that he did not wear, then attach the suit in the chair he had previously pulled closer to the wheeled table with a tray full of breakfast menu on it in front of Sera who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Xavier observed the menu before him and frowned slightly at it.
“The food is a little cold,” he said then in a denouncing tone after he touched his thumb to the omelet presented there.
Sera pursed her lips throwing a look of blame at the man.
“That's all because you took a very long shower, even longer than I took a shower before.” He then charged in an accusatory tone, but the woman moved to take the plate, then raised her head towards Xavier. “What do you want to eat?” the tan was a little fierce but attentive, clearly showing his good intentions to get food for Xavier.
Xavier grinned. Sera's contradictory attitude like a spoiled child sulking at her mother made her happy. Her eyes scanned Sera's very fresh and pretty appearance after the shower, with a plain brownish-cream dress that was loose but matched perfectly with her petite body, make it look like a delicious chocolate cream pudding to be devoured instantly.
“I'll eat whatever you get.” Xavier spoke slowly with a deliberate obnoxious attitude.
Sera is crouching, but her hand moves to get the breakfast menu from the dishes presented in front of her. He deliberately added salads and vegetables many want to take revenge by forcing the man to devour vegetables that he would not like.
Yes, Sera always noticed that Xavier always prefers proteins such as meat and fish when eating and avoiding vegetables. The man must have disliked vegetables, and now that Xavier said he would eat whatever Sera put on his plate, then Sera would make Xavier regret his words by serving a plate full of vegetables to the man.
As Sera thrust her plate at Xavier, the man raised an eyebrow, then tilted his head, watching Sera closely.
“That's a plate for me?” Xavier asked instead, while his lips thinned as if holding back a laugh.
“You said you were going to eat whatever I would get for you, so eat,” Sera said in an impatient tone.
A mocking ruckus escaped Xavier's lips. Without a care, the man then took the plate for himself, and filled it with meat and eggs and various kinds of his favorite menu.
“I did say I would eat whatever you would put on my plate, but that doesn't mean I'm asking you to fill the menu into my plate. No, thank you, I'll fill my plate. Please just eat what you get it.” Xavier showed his plate filled with side dishes, then started to eat casually without caring about Sera's face flushed with annoyance.
“K-you..” So irritated, Sera even lost the words to say, her eyes widened, only able to stare annoyedly at Xavier who ate his breakfast greedily as if he did not care.
Xavier raised his eyes, then winked at Sera with a seductive attitude that heated the heart.
“See you take a lot of vegetables for yourself. Goody. You are pregnant, eating fresh vegetables and fruits is very good for you because it can be a supply of vitamins that happen to not be produced by our own body.” The man raised an eyebrow, deliberately acting sinless which made him even more annoying in Sera's eyes. “Why are you quiet? Come eat.” His orders were relaxed, making Sera only able to grit her teeth but end up eating as well despite the half-hearted brute movement.
Sera chewed on her bitter trench in her mouth with a crinkled forehead. His eyes glanced at Xavier who continued to eat again with an elegant attitude, opposite to Sera's rough and irregular movements when putting the vegetables he had taken into his mouth to the brim.
Looks like Sera had to put off talking about Aaron this morning. He was annoyed with Xavier and the man's attitude now made things worse. It is not impossible that they will not find common ground and even argue without end as happened before.
However, talking about Aaron certainly can not be delayed anymore. Xavier's reply was no joke, the man was aiming for Aaron's life to be wiped out. Although Sera also hates Aaron's impulsive actions that want to harm the child in the womb, but he thinks that this problem should not be solved by killing Aaron.
However, without Aaron's help in the past, this moment might not exist and could conceive Xavier's child. Because, without Aaron's help in the past, Sera may have died from a lash wound infection in her purulent back and infection, Sera said, he could have starved to death from being locked up for days in a prison room without being given food and drink.
Xavier must understand that, Sera owes Aaron his life, and the life debt is something very big and cannot be ignored.
Sera's eyes watched Xavier's black suit draped in the chair, then noticed the man's neat appearance.
“Are you going?” slowly tanyanya. He knew he had to make sure he would meet Xavier again soon to talk about this. Aaron's problem, it can't be delayed too long.
Xavier's hand that was feeding the last slice of omelet to his mouth stopped moving. The man raised an eyebrow and looked towards Sera sharply.
“There's some business I need to do. Why?” Xavier seemed to want to investigate and penetrate into Sera's heart. “Are you thinking of blocking it?”
Sera widened her eyes as if offended. “Why are you accusing like that? I don't even know where you're going,” says angry. “I just want to know if you.. You will come tonight once your business is done.”
“Where to?” Xavier immediately grabbed, as if he did not understand what Sera said. But a moment later the man understood. “You mean, come to this hospital to see you?”
Sera's cheeks instantly flushed. I don't know why he felt sorry for asking his question. At first, Sera just wanted to make sure that she had a chance to talk to Xavier later that night where they could discuss and compromise and find the best way to solve Aaron's problem. But that question could clearly be misinterpreted by Xavier. Sera looks like a woman drunk with romance, eager to meet Xavier again before they even say goodbye.
“Do not misunderstand. I... just want to ask for a chance to talk to you.. later tonight.” Sera tried to clear her point, staring intently at Xavier.
“What else to talk about?” Xavier said it like he didn't like it. “Do you still want to beg me not to spread the competition to kill Aaron? If that is what I want to say, then my answer remains the same. Just stop it now, Sera, before you hope too far. Credence has helped me, the competition has spread to the underworld all over the country. Right now, all the hit men have moved in pursuit of your Aaron Dawn. It's only a matter of time until you receive the news of his death.”
“Xavier!” Sera shrieked, looking at the man in front of her with a sense of horror that could not be hidden. “You're talking about people's lives here! Did you forget that Aaron saved my life many times in the past? If she's not around, then maybe I can't stand here and carry your child!” Sera actually wants to hold their debate until tomorrow, but Xavier's attitude makes it impossible not to bring up what is in his mind now.
Xavier's eyes narrowed, the man swept his gaze across Sera's body from head to head, stopping a few seconds longer in Sera's stomach, before then looking back at Sera sharply.
“Get rid of the feeling of being indebted to that annoying Aaron in your stubborn head. You don't owe Aaron any more lives. Aaron did save your life, but by spreading the competition to anyone who can make you miscarry and lose your baby, it's the same Aaron has put your life at risk. The gun that was fired at you yesterday, lucky the bullet missed and didn't hit your stomach. If that happens, then, the bullet will spread a poison that creates a great contraction in the uterus that will squeeze your child out of the comfortable womb where it hides and make our child feel like a great earthquake in your stomach. Not only will your baby miscarry, you will also be in pain, you will have bleeding, you can die!” Xavier threw his fork at the plate as if losing his taste, then the man stood up, regressed his chair and looked at Sera from his looming position before the woman. “As long as I'm gone, think about what I said, Sera. You don't owe Aaron any life. With him risking your life, then your life debt to him is breakeven. You owe him nothing more.”
Xavier threw a menacing look towards the stunned Sera, then gritted his teeth as if holding back in anger. “I'll be back later tonight to see you. During that time, use your time to clear your foggy mind. Later when we meet again, I don't want any discussion of Aaron between us. If you want to be with me until the end, you have to throw Aaron out of your life. You have to choose Sera, me or your Aaron. Make your choice tonight. Whatever you choose will determine what to do with you.”
Without waiting for a response from Sera, Xavier turned around, then stepped out of the treatment room and slammed the door behind him furiously, making Sera could only be stunned and stare at the tightly closed door without being able to do anything.

“It's done. He will wake up soon and be ready to receive instructions.”
Doctor Nathan stepped back, let his assistant clean up his equipment, then stuffed both his hands into his white coat pocket as if to hide the guilt he was pressing down strongly on.
Xavier nodded his head and reviewed the vile smile on his lips. His eyes were fixed on the figure of Sabina who was lying rigidly on the iron bed that was in one of the rooms of the underground prison laboratory that became the territory of Akram.
“Good. Sabina is a very skilled killer. He also has an emotional bond formed with Aaron. I think Sabina is the most appropriate weapon to take down Aaron.” Xavier spoke in a pleased tone full of anticipation.
“Chip in his brain stem will take over control of his mind, the command you planted there will be imprinted and make it like a robot that will not stop before he successfully executes the command. In addition, the memory of his past will remain, even though the power of mind control based on his emotions has been destroyed. It's the same as turning a human into a robot.” Doctor Nathan explained in a flat tone, his own eyes following Xavier's eyes which kept watching towards Sabina's body which was still lying motionless. “But, you certainly have calculated that this prototype, in addition to breaking the law also has fatal undetectable side effects.”
Doctor Nathan let out a long breath. It felt like it was useless to cultivate the human side in Xavier's mind. In Xavier's eyes, Sabina who betrayed her superior Dimitri and chose to save Aaron has deserved to be called a traitor worthy of death. When Xavier decides that someone deserves to die, nothing can save that person from Xavier's pursuit.
“The race that drove all those hit men after Aaron, those aren't your final destination, are they? You need those hit men not to take Aaron's life, but just to make him desperate. Is my opinion right?” Doctor Nathan said again, guessing with a cautious tone.
Xavier grinned, raising his eyebrows towards Nathan.“This time, I appreciate your intelligence. Guess right. The murderers were not to kill Aaron, for I alone would have killed Aaron with my own hands. Sabina wasn't going to kill Aaron either, she was just going to lure Aaron so I could find him. By the time I find Aaron, then I'll make him the first person to taste my latest poison that I just created.”
Xavier's sentence came to a halt as Sabina's body in front of him moved slowly, before the woman's eyes twitched and finally opened wide, staring alternately at Xavier and Doctor Nathan with a blank look like a lifeless doll of inanimate objects.

The night was getting late, but Sera could not sleep yet. This day he was busy thinking, examining all the words that Xavier had thrown at him and combining them with his own thoughts.
There is no meeting point even his head hurt.
Sera's conscience still cannot accept that Xavier must kill to solve the problem. But when he asked himself if he had any alternative solutions, his mind was also deadlocked.
All day he spent his time thinking in vain, unable to find a way out so that it made him frustrated and became angry with himself.
The door of his treatment room room suddenly opened, making Sera who had been lying on her side on the bed immediately gasp to sit up, looking at whoever entered with a watchful look.
In fact, he already knew that it was Xavier who came in. Sera had taken the time to peek out even though she was not allowed to step a foot in a step out of the room by the guard. He saw with his own eyes that the front door of his room was as long as the hospital hallway on the floor where he was, heavily guarded by black-clad and heavily armed bodyguards. Those guards would naturally only let Xavier a man into this room.
His guess was correct, his eyes instantly flashed with Xavier's eyes looking at him sharply. It was past midnight, and the first thing Sera saw was how pale and tired the man's face was.
“Not sleeping?” Xavier greets gently, forgetting their early morning bickering he waged before leaving and taking off his suit before then throwing it on the sofa.
“A-i'm waiting for you.” Inexplicably seeing Xavier's current expression, everything that had been stirring in Sera's heart all day that she was ready to throw in the confrontation against Xavier instantly went out completely.
Xavier looked extremely tired, even this man's condition seemed worse than before. Has this problem with Aaron caused Xavier to push himself to the limit of his physical strength?
A streak of guilt mixed with affection immediately filled Sera's mind, making her want to stretch out her arms, wanting to invite Xavier to lean into her arms, but in the end he even restrained himself with all his might for fear that Xavier would reject his offer was raw.
“Waiting me? Do you still want to argue with me? Didn't I tell you it was useless?” Xavier replied without interest, his hand moving to massage the base of his painful nose.
“I don't think I'll argue with you tonight.” Sera finally decided to make peace first. His eyes then watched Xavier anxiously. “A-is... are you okay?” tanyanya carefully.
Xavier grinned, his gaze when met with Sera's eyes looked so sad and heart-wrenching.
“I was never okay..” The man spoke with irony while rubbing his face. At the same time, the sound of a surprised screech from Sera's mouth instantly made her frown. “What's up?”
Xavier's question came to a halt when he saw Sera swiftly jumping out of bed and approaching him. The man looked anxiously at Sera's stomach, warning quickly. “Hey, carefully move, did you forget that you were pregnant?”
Before Xavier could continue his warning cry, Sera was already standing nearby, the woman raised her head, then reached out her hand to grab Xavier's arm timidly.
“K-I think you should sit on the bed, come on I'll get you, y-you should lie down,” exclaimed Sera with a half-dead anxious look towards Xavier.
Xavier still did not understand, but a second later he knew right away. The sudden smell of carnation flooded his olfactory cavity, this disturbing wet feel....
Xavier's hand rubbed his nose, then his eyes looked at his own palm. He's a nosebleed, blood pouring out of his nose.
“Gosh. Damnit!”
Xavier still had time to curse before then his gaze became twitched, turning pitch black without being able to hold it. Still had heard the anxious screeches Sera who called his name, until then he did not remember anything else.
