It was already almost midnight but Xavier didn't care. He made his way to the hospital to see Xander who'd just woken up from weeks of being in a coma.
Anastasia had wanted to tag along, but Xavier refused. They already had a long day and he wanted her to rest for the night instead of waiting up for him.
Xavier reached the ward. He found his mother standing outside, her hands wrapped around herself as she paced from right to left, deep in thought.
"Mother," Xavier called out to her, gaining her attention.
She quickly rushed towards him, tears filling her eyes.
"Good thing you're here," she said. "Samantha is currently inside but you should go—"
Before she could complete her words, the door to Xander's room opened and Samantha walked out.
Compared to the past few weeks before Xander landed in the hospital, she'd lost a huge amount of weight.
After her father's death, the only place she went to was the hospital, in hopes that Xander had woken up.
