Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Healing and Fallout

Becky had lived under Jade’s roof, and Jade had treated her fairly well–she’d even taught her real skills.

“Mom. Becky said gently, “your illness isn’t untreatable. I’ll start working on a long–term plan to nurse you back to health. but it’ll take some time.”

Julia’s eyes lit up with hope.

“I believe you.”

She desperately wanted to live well now.

She had already lost twenty–one years with her daughter. She wanted to make up for at least some of that time.

Becky stood up. “Good night, Mom. I’m going to rest.

“Alright”

If she weren’t so physically limited, Julia would have begged her daughter to stay and talk longer. There were so many things she still didn’t know about what Lily had been through.

The next morning, Becky sought out Lyle.

“Lyle.

can you take

me to a clinic? I need one with a full supply of traditional herbs.”

“You’ve asked the right guy. I know just the place.”

“Perfect. Let’s go.”

Lyle drove Becky to a large traditional medicine clinic.

Thanks to his connections, she was able to gather the herbs she needed quickly. She ground, sorted, and packed the ingredients before they headed back to the estate.

Becky brewed the medicine herself and brought it up to Julia.

Logan watched her with confidence. “With Becky here, Mom’s definitely going to get better.”

He’d actually thought of asking Becky to treat their mother a while back, but at the time, they were both wearing masks- neither recognized the other, and she had even mistaken him for a bad guy,

If they’d just taken those masks off then, maybe they would’ve reunited earlier.

Lyle had also come to trust this new sister.

Anyone Talonox had tried to kidnap had to be impressive.

Meanwhile, over in the city. Kevin rushed into the hospital.

“Sir! The Shanks family just pulled out of our partnership thus morning. I called to ask why, and they said it was a top–level decison–wouldn’t give me any other reason. But they were firm. The deal is off

Xavier sat popped up in bed, his expression calm Ite’d seen it coming

Kevin on the other hand, was panicking

It

Mi Xavis, what do we do now? The deal was finalized. The prep work is already done–we ve unvested a lot. If this talls apart, we’ll be hemorrhaging money We won’t be able to find another partner as strong as the Shanks Camily anytime soon Xavier stayed saleat, deep an thought

Kevin suggested, “Should I fly to Circovia and try to speak with Mr. Shanks personally?”

Navier was in no shape

shape to travel

Finished

“It’s no use if you go.”

The Shanks family wasn’t just canceling over business. This was personal. Kevin wouldn’t be able to sway them

“Then what do we do?”

“I’ll go myself, Xavier said.

Kevin stared in disbelief. “You’re in no condition to travel! Please, let me handle it.

“It’s decided,” Xavier cut him off.

Kevin knew Xavier well enough to recognize there was no changing his mind.

Brendon found out from Kevin that Xavier was planning to go to Circovia and immediately called him.

J–Are

“Are you out of your mind? You’re injured, for one. And even if you weren’t, going to Circovia is suicide. You’ll be walking straight into a trap.”

Xavier responded calmly. “It’s not that dramatic.”

“Yes, it is! The Shanks family is extremely protective. You put Becky through hell. You think they’ll let you off the hook? You’re handing yourself over just to get humiliated.”

Brendon suddenly gasped. “Wait–this isn’t just about the deal, is it?”

Xavier didn’t answer.

Brendon cursed. He knew it.

“You do realize Becky will be back in a few days, right? What’s the point of running to her now? Can’t go a few days without seeing her?”

Xavier’s lips twitched.

No. I cant

It had only been two days, but the longing was unbearable.

Brendon groaned. “Listen to me. Don’t go. Those Shanks brothers are ruthless. You’re not coming back in one piece if you walk into that lion’s den.

Xavier hung up

He told his bodyguard to handle the discharge paperwork

tan rushed to the hospital only to find out Xavier had already left. Panicking, she called him–no answer. She stormed straight to Clory Corp

Kevin greeted her

“Ma am oor of our projects hit a snag Mr Xavier flew to Circovia this morning”

Lulian’s voare rose sharply. “Ridiculous‘ He’s still injured and you let him go on a trip? What’s the point of paying you people if you can i even krep him from overworking lamselt??”

Lalian didn’t care–she blamed the staff anyway.

If they had done a better job, her son wouldn’t be pushing himself like this.

She left Glory Corp in a worried daze–only to run into Yulia at the gate.

Finished

Yulia rushed over, visibly anxious. “I just came from the hospital. Xavier’s been discharged. He’s still not well–how could they let him go?”

Lilian’s expression softened slightly. At least Yulia cared about her son.

Unlike Becky, who hadn’t even shown her face once. But that was just as well. She didn’t want Becky coming around and tangling herself up in Xavier’s life again anyway.
