She wrapped her arms around Xavier’s neck and said, “Don’t be like this, okay? You’ve been here for a while now, right? You must have seen how unperturbed I was when I was chatting with Lisanne. If we, the ones caught up in this, aren’t worried, why are you worrying about it instead? You’re only stressing me out.”“Then what should I do?” Xavier asked, tears in his eyes.“You’re neither a doctor nor a scientist, so there’s nothing you can do.
