In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 485 Great to Have Xander

Grace had just woken up, and when she saw Xander, she burst into tears.

"Xander! Am I about to die?"

Xander hurriedly went up to her and put his arm around her shoulders. He comforted her, saying, "That's ridiculous. Why would you die?"

"But I bled so much … it's all over my pants and the bedsheets …"

When Xander heard this, it was as if he had been shocked with electricity. He was stunned, and suddenly the tips of his ears reddened.

In a small voice, he asked, "What did you say?"

Grace started crying even more loudly. "Xander, what should I do? I don't want to die …"

Xander put his hand over her mouth. "You won't die, silly. Listen to me and wait for me here."

Grace immediately stopped crying and looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "Xander, where are you going?"

Xander didn't explain anything. He just said, "Just be a good girl and wait for me here."

Grace was confused, and right at this moment, the school doctor arrived belatedly. "I heard that you fainted. What happened?"

"Doctor, am I about to die?"

"What did you say? What's going on?"

Grace told her everything from beginning to end.

After asking about the details, the doctor sighed in relief and began comforting her. "It's okay. This is a normal biological experience for girls of a certain age. It means that from now on, you're all grown up …"

When she heard what the doctor said, Grace finally realized what had happened, and she immediately began feeling embarrassed.

Right at that moment, Xander returned. He was sweating. He handed the bag over to her as he panted.

"Hurry and get changed in the restroom."

Grace was so embarrassed that the tips of her ears were burning. She wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. "You … where did you go to buy it?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just hurry up and go get changed."

Her cheeks still burning, Grace went to the restroom. She squirmed as she came out after changing.

In contrast to her discomfort, Xander behaved as he always did. He handed her some hot chocolate and said, "Drink this. You'll feel better. It'll ease the pain."

Grace was silent.

"Xander, how do you know so much about this?"

Xander didn't explain. Instead, he just reminded her, "Remember to rest more and drink more hot chocolate. Don't do any strenuous exercise either."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Xander had said so many things, Grace wasn't annoyed at all. In fact, she felt warm and fuzzy inside. "Xander, it's so good to have you!"

Right at this moment, Victor and Caleb rushed in. They had come over right after hearing that Grace had fainted. "Gracie, what happened to you? Why did you faint all of a sudden?"

"What happened? Hurry up and tell me! Do you feel unwell?"

"Didn't our family doctor just give you a checkup? What's the problem?"

Grace remained silent.

When she saw how anxious the two of them were, she felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to explain why she had fainted, and she mumbled incoherently.

"I … I …"

When Xander saw this, he took the initiative and stopped Victor and Caleb. "It's okay. Gracie is fine. Don't worry."

Victor didn't believe him. "Why would she faint if everything was fine? I'll call our family doctor right now and get him to come over straightaway so he can give you a full body check-up."
