บททั้งหมดของ Xavier's Surrogate: บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

Halle watched as Tabitha and Collette reluctantly got into the car. Tabitha turned around to look at her with teary eyes and it was such an unreal feeling. It took her back to the day she had first met the woman, a stranger that had now become one of her very good friends. “Promise me you will take good care of and never skip your meals!” She said with a shaky voice, shuffling in her feet like she was resisting the urge to walk up to Halle. Halle gave a watery smile and willed herself not to cry as her lips trembled from the pressure of holding it in. “I will never skip my meals and I will see you both soon, I promise,” Halle said. Tabitha nodded firmly and the closed the car door behind her, Collette's hand stuck out the window as the car began to move out of the property. Halle laughed and waved back, feeling a deep pang in her chest as she watched them drive away. There was a high chance that she would never see them again which also meant that she had to be extra car

There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to make the tough choice of not just sitting back and letting things happen to her like the world expects of all women. There comes a time when she has to step up and take charge of her fate, no matter the circumstances and no matter how afraid she is of what might come after her dangerous leap of faith. Halle was certain that was the point she had reached, as she wrote those words on paper in a urgent manner, she hoped that it would get to who she wanted it to without her actions being discovered. Everything had to go accordingly, she had to save Xavier. She was the only person who could do it! There was no one she could trust, not even Xavier. Somehow she felt like everything she had gone through in her life had led her up to this moment. She was never able to protect herself or the people she cared about but not anymore, she would not longer be that weakling! Halle folded the paper and put in into the envelope, writing dow

Halle's grip on her utensils tightened, but she maintained her calm exterior. "I understand your concern, Andrea. But I've been researching and all I’m doing is trying to help Xavier."So Xavier told her about their conversation, great. He didn’t even know the kind of intentions the people he talks to about his life harbors toward him. Andrea's eyebrows arched, a challenge in her gaze. "Research is not the same as medical expertise. You're playing with fire here."Xavier interjected, his voice steady. "Andrea, Halle is a trained nurse who no doubt, knows what she’s doing. I trust whatever method she comes up with."Andrea's lips pressed into a thin line, the tension between her and Halle growing palpable. Damien, sensing the unease, looked between them with confusion. "Why are you arguing?"Xavier's voice softened as he addressed his son. "It's just a grown-up conversation, buddy."Halle offered Damien a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we're just discussing different points of view."

It was dark. A darkness that Xavier thought he’d been used to since the day he realized what his life's trust purpose was but this time it was different, because he could feel everything and at some point…he could hear everything as well and it was completely torture for him. Xavier's consciousness began to surface, like a ship emerging from the depths of a storm-tossed sea. His mind felt heavy, his thoughts muddled as he fought to break free from the embrace of sleep. Halle's apologies reverberated in his head, each word a painful reminder of the pain he felt. Her voice was a haunting echo, a discordant melody that played on his heartstrings, tugging at his emotions. He could remember the guilty expression on her face when she voiced out her betrayal and finally stated her intentions…she had drugged him. Intentionally lured him out and drugged him, to do what with him? He wasn’t sure. Xavier wondered who she worked for and how much of everything they’d shared was a lie but yet, his

Tunde's voice was steady as he began to speak, his words carrying a weight of truth that neither Halle and she was sure Xavier couldn't ignore. "Xavier, there's something you need to understand about our way of life. It's not always what it seems. Trust is a luxury that can be hard to come by." Tunde was in this life just as deeply as Xavier and his cousins were but, he found a loophole and that way he was the target of many but also the target of none. Halle couldn’t think of anyone better to speak to Xavier about this. Xavier's gaze remained fixed on Tunde, a look of skepticism in his eyes. Halle noticed he was willing to listen to what they had to say but he also looked tense, like he was ready to claw his way put of here if their words didn’t appeal to him. Halle knew he wouldn't let his guard down so easily. Tunde continued, his words measured. "I received a letter from Halle yesterday morning. She said your life was in danger, and she was certain that your aunt Martha and Andr
