Michael nodded his head, he had already thought about it on the way here.

No matter how Giovanni would treat him, he should endure it

He went to wash up, and Athena ordered the maid to follow him to serve him

Before long, Xander also came over.

“Are Michael and Elettra back?” The first thing he said as he entered the door went straight to the point.

His eyes swept around the room, eventually landing on Athena’s bulging belly, and his footsteps unconsciously softened.

Athena nodded gently, leaning against the back of the soft cushion armchair.

Reaching out to touch her round belly, she raised her eyes and gave him a playful glare, “They just settled in, your news is really well–informed.”

Her fingertips gently stroked her belly, where fetal movements occasionally came, like small fish spitting bubbles in the water.

“The informants in the palace reported it early, saying that Michael rushed into the manor with a woman in his arms, as if he had lost his soul.”

Xander walked to her side and naturally took the cup from her hand.

He tested the temperature before handing it back. “I heard that Ms. Huber was seriously injured?”

“The arrow was poisoned, thanks to Michael’s timely care all the way.”

Athena sighed, and remembering Elettra’s pale face, she added, “Mr. Huber is probably on his way, you have to help me stop him.”

She turned to look at Xander, with a hint of worry in her eyes. “Elettra almost lost her life, I’m afraid he will attack Michael.

“He only has such a precious daughter, and when he learned that his daughter had run away from home, his eyes turned red on the spot.

“If he knew that his daughter was not only injured but also poisoned, he might really come to Xander Manor

with a knife.”

Xander raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully. “I know the temper of that old guy. He gets angry like a

firecracker.

“But Michael does deserve some lessons. He coaxed someone’s daughter to show her face in public and

caused so much trouble.”

Despite these words, he turned and instructed the guards behind him. “Let General Osborne wait in the side hall, and don’t let him out without my permission.”

The guard obeyed the order and left. Athena looked at Xander’s back and couldn’t help but smile. “Are you protecting him?”

“I’m protecting the child in your belly.” Xander turned back and gently touched her stomach.

His movements were unbelievably gentle. “What if a real fight frightens you?”

He paused, his tone tinged with a hint of subtle bitterness, “Besides, if Michael is crippled, who will go to Ironfang Pass? Surely, you don’t expect me to go myself, do you?”

Athena was amused by him and laughed. She was about to say something when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Accompanied by Nelson’s somewhat helpless voice, “Mr. Huber, please slow down, the Princess Consort is resting.”

“My daughter, where is my daughter?” Giovanni’s voice was tearful and he walked very fast.

Athena and Xander hurried out to greet him and saw Giovanni and his wife supporting each other into the front yard.

The two looked anxious and forgot their manners.

Giovanni asked anxiously, “Princess Consort, where is my daughter? How badly is she hurt?”

Athena’s message only said that Elettra was injured, but did not dare to say more.

She was afraid that the old couple would be anxious and faint.

Now that the people had arrived, she could only tell the truth. “Elettra was injured by an arrow, but I have already examined her, and she is fine now. She will be fine after a period of recuperation.”

“Can we see her?” the old couple said anxiously.

Athena led them in, where they saw Elettra lying pale on the big bed.

Her face was as pale.

Her lips were bloodless.

Her weak appearance made the old couple’s eyes water, and they both started to cry,

Mrs. Huber was crying so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.

Athena knew that Michael was going to have a hard time,

Sure enough, after Giovanni finished crying, his face darkened, “Tell Michael to come out! I’m going to skin him alive!”

He strode out of the courtyard, his hair disheveled, clutching a cane in his hand, looking like he really intended to fight Michael to the death.

Xander winked at Athena, signaling her to sit tight, then rose to greet the visitor himself.

“What is the meaning of this, Mr. Huber?” Xander blocked his path, his tone calm but with an unquestionable air of authority. “Charging into my manor yelling and threatening violence, do you not take me seriously?”

Giovanni’s bluster deflated significantly upon seeing Xander.

But recalling his daughter’s injuries, his eyes reddened again. “Your Grace, please hand Michael over! He harmed my daughter so badly, I… I’m not done with him!”

“Mr. Huber, calm down.” Xander stepped aside, clearing a path. “Come inside and have a cup of tea, we can talk it over slowly.

“Elettra is still resting inside, you don’t want to disturb her, right?”

Hearing the name of his daughter, Giovanni paused in his tracks.

He hesitated, ultimately following Xander into the house.

His face was gloomy, clearly suppressing his anger.

Athena quickly had someone serve tea to Giovanni, smoothing things over with a smile. “Mr. Huber, rest assured, Elettra is fine now, she will recover completely in a few days.”
