Chapter 280

Xavier's POV

I ran over to her, knelt on the floor, and turned her onto her back. I felt her pulse, which was barely noticeable. I checked her breathing, which was more difficult than normal, and her heart also sounded unusually quiet. Her forehead was burning hot, making me boil inside. That damn stubborn thing! So I picked her up, carried her outside, and shortly afterward started running with her in my arms.

Inwardly I cursed both her and myself. She, for her stubbornness and the fact that she took herbs without knowing the effects. And me, for my negligence in letting this all happen. I should have intervened last time. So I ran wildly through the forest, hoping within myself that Atlas could help her. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what I would do. I can't lose her. Not now. Not like that.

Damned! I'm such an idiot. Why didn't I stop her sooner? I should have had all the plants in the entire area burned. They should lock you up or do something els
