Chapter 598: Psychological blow
Neither Leila nor Sandra nor Jorge could have approved of Xavier and Mariana being together. So if
Xavier had any thoughts in his head, he should have discarded those kinds of thoughts before it was
too late.
-My happiness is in my own hands. I can do whatever you tell me to do, but not this kind of thing. I want
to make my own decisions.
Xavier knows, better than anyone, what goes through his mind.
For the rest of his life, he was determined that Mariana would be the one.
No matter who she was, there was no way he was going to let her be convinced. Whether it was Leila,
Sandra or Jorge.
-I don't understand, there are so many good girls, why can't you see them all? The only one you like is
the one who has been married and had children?
Leila found it hard to understand and couldn't resist asking the other man.
Hearing Leila say that, Xavier got a little angry.
-Can't you keep bringing up the fact that she was married and had children?
-Isn't that right?
It seemed ridiculous to Leila that Mariana was married and had children, so why not let him hold on to
her.
Xavier thought for a moment before replying to his opponent.
-I don't care if she's been married or had children, I'm determined to have her for the rest of my life
anyway. Mom and Dad may not know for a while yet, but be prepared beforehand.
How can I accept such a woman as my sister-in-law? -says Leila, to whom Xavier finds it unbelievable.
Xavier took a sip of tea from his cup and then dropped his eyes to Leila's.
-There's no reason to convince you to like me, only to convince me that it's enough. Whether you
accept it or not, we have to come to this.
-You're just going to piss me off!
Leila was so angry with her brother that she couldn't speak for a moment. There was no way she was
going to accept that she would have a sister-in-law like that in the future.
She knew Xavier's character better than anyone. There was no room for change as long as it was
something Xavier had decided to do.
-Don't worry, it's not that simple. So far, she hasn't promised to accept me, so your brother has only
been unrequited in his love -Xavier took the floor and told Leila the situation, something he couldn't
change.
To get Mariana's heart, he will have to try hard to impress the woman afterwards.
-That's because people can't afford to lose face and they know better than anyone in their hearts that
they can't be with a brat like you.
Leila hit the nail on the head and wasn't about to give her brother any face.
Hearing Leila say this, Xavier's heart felt more than a little bewildered.
-What do you mean by a little boy like me? I think I'm in excellent condition.
Three years ago, Xavier was a notorious playboy. But even then, he was making a name for himself in
the entertainment industry. With one face, he could make millions of girls swoon over him.
The Xavier he is now is even more different than he was before, his education and hard work have
made him a different person now. So Mariana is perfectly capable of measuring him in a different light
and will say whether she accepts his wishes or not when the time comes.
-Always be clear that a forcibly twisted melon is not sweet -Leila took the floor, with a shy air.
It is impossible for Xavier not to understand this truth.
When he heard Leila say that, Xavier didn't even want to answer the other man's question, and took a
sip of his tea alone.
-knock, knock, knock.
Hearing the nurse knock on the door, Leila took the floor.
-Come in.
The nurse, who pushed open the door, panicked. That Mariana and Leopoldo had just left and weren't
coming back, were they?
-Leila looked at the nurse in front of her and was a little curious.
The nurse looks at Leila in front of her and then at Xavier next to her, wincing a little.
-Director, the boy woke up, but?
-Is he waking up? -Xavier gasped immediately after hearing the nurse's words. How could the nurse
keep stammering so much about something so important?
The nurse nodded her head and glared at Xavier in front of her.
-But what happened?
Leila paid no attention to her brother's reaction and continued to question the nurse.
From the look on the nurse's face, it seemed that something wasn't right with little Daniel.
-He kept mumbling about ghosts, as if he was afraid of us, and the whole thing seemed mental....
Before the nurse could finish her sentence, Xavier immediately opened the door and set out to walk
towards Daniel's room.
It seems to be exactly as Leila expected, little Daniel is really shocked. So further treatment would be
harsher than they had imagined.
-Okay, okay, no need to talk about it. Now go see what's going on with the little kids," Leila hurried to
follow her brother when she saw him, in a panic, clinging to the door.
The nurse was about to say something, but hearing the dean she wasn't going to babble on. So,
following close behind Leila, she dared not say a word.
When Xavier arrived in the room, little Daniel was huddled alone under the sheets, covering himself
well with them and not letting anyone look at him.
-Sir... Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The nurse who was at the door, after seeing Xavier and the dean behind him, tried to speak, but Leila
immediately stopped her.
-He seems to have a memory, that's why he's scared, damn them!
Xavier knew exactly why Daniel had reacted like that.
Let's not talk about children, if it was an adult who had somehow been put in the morgue. Probably
psychologically, there would be more or less degree of impact.
For a small child, that's even harder.
-Anyway, thank goodness you brought him back to life, otherwise.... -Leila looked at the little boy inside
the room and thought of ways to comfort Xavier.
Xavier spoke as he looked inside at little Daniel.
-How long would it take for him to return to the mental level of a normal toddler if a systematic set of
treatments were administered?
-It's hard to say, it's different for everyone, but it should be about a year at least.
Leila knew what Xavier was thinking and told her brother.
-A year? -Xavier repeated, thinking that this treatment cycle was really long.
He also had to tell Mariana about little Daniel's situation as soon as possible.
Xavier hesitated for a moment, but was ready to enter the room and try to approach little Daniel, who
wanted to try to see if he could remember himself.
