In just over ten days before the apocalypse, he witnessed the cruelty of human nature and grew a lot, no longer believing that there are free lunches in the world.
"What price did my sister pay? I'll pay it for her!"
"I'm not interested in men!"
Elijah sneered!
"Then I won't treat you, let us go!"
"It's too late, I've already taken interest! Stop being a wimp and hurry up with the bandages!"
Xavier thought his sister had already been abused by the man in front of him, immediately filled with anger, wanting to beat him up.
But considering his freezing ability and immense strength just now, he realized he was no match and held back!
I... I can't waste my sister's sacrifice!
Xavier endured the sourness in his heart, silently starting to unwrap the bandages on his legs and arms.
As the bandages came off, huge and gruesome wounds were exposed, especially on his legs, as if a piece of flesh had been torn off.
The wounds had stopped bleeding, the flesh pale and some areas even oozing pus.
"Tsk, you've got some grit, kid!"
Elijah carefully examined his wounds.
"Unfortunately, grit alone won't do you any good. Your wounds are festering. If you don't get timely treatment, you won't be able to save your legs and arms, and you might even be in danger of losing your life!"
As the bandages were unwrapped, pulling on the wounds, beads of sweat formed on Xavier's forehead.
"Do you have a way?"
"Indeed, but it might hurt. Can you bear it?"
"I can, just do it!"
Xavier's face hardened.
"No need to rush, wait a bit longer!"
Elijah said lightly. Then he took out a dagger and sterilized it with the lighter he carried.
Whether it was effective or not, Elijah didn't know nor did he count on it.
After another ten minutes or so, Azure Isle came into view.
Elijah sensed Bella's ability and signaled for Hannah to come over.
"Get a towel to stuff his mouth, then help me ice his wounds to ease his pain!"
"Mmm, that feels much better!" Xavier didn't mind the intrusion.
He glanced at his arm's wound, hope filling his eyes.
With such a miraculous ability, he could soon be back to normal!
But the thought of his sister sacrificing herself for this chance at healing dimmed his spirits.
He swore to himself he'd repay her, ensuring no one ever mistreated her again, not even this man before him.
At that moment, the yacht finally coasted to a stop, smoothly docking.
Sophia emerged from the cockpit, hurriedly making her way to her brother.
When she saw his legs fully restored, she gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, tears welling in her eyes.
She spun around to Elijah, seeing him exhausted on the couch.
Though Bella wasn't there, her brother's legs had miraculously healed, undoubtedly the work of the man before her.
"Th-thank you, Elijah!" Sophia's voice trembled with gratitude.
"We're all friends here, no need for formalities," Elijah waved weakly. "Bella will have to take care of the wound on his arm; I need a moment to rest."
"Alright, thank you!" Sophia's face lit up with a radiant smile, her worries dissipated.
"Hannah, you take them back," Elijah gestured towards them, "I'll rest here for a bit."
"Sure thing!" Hannah led Sophia and Xavier away.
Elijah had intended to meditate for a while to recover, but Lily suddenly spoke up, "Elijah, just lie down and rest. I'll continue massaging your head."
"Um... okay." Elijah obediently lay down on the couch.
Lily also sat on the couch and lifted Elijah's head, placing it on her lap.
Though Lily's legs weren't as long as Charlotte's, as slender as Daisy's, or as shapely as Bella's, Elijah found them surprisingly plush and comfortable against his head.
Who would have thought that lying against someone's lap could be so comfortable?
Elijah mused, but when he tried to look up again... he couldn't see a thing! Lily's face was completely obscured from view by a pair of ample objects.
"Hey? I can't see anything!" Lily also realized she couldn't see Elijah's head and said in frustration.
"Wait a moment, Elijah!" Lily pushed him up and then turned around so that her body was facing Elijah's back, before gently placing him back down.
Elijah felt his head nestled between two soft objects, bouncing back and forth a few times before sinking in completely.
It was incredibly comfortable! Whether she massaged his head or not didn't matter; just staying like this was nice!
Elijah muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, as they made their way to the villa with Hannah, Xavier watched his jubilant sister, struggling to find the right words to say.
