Chapter 231

For the next few days, while Xavier was away, Anderson rarely allowed Chloe to get out of bed.

The concoction in that syringe was too complex, and he had to keep a close eye on her to feel at ease.

But Chloe's experience was far from pleasant.

She felt her life was incredibly dull and monotonous, much like a caged pet confined to a specific area every day, utterly boring.

Add to that Anderson's daily supervision of her medication.

Chloe felt like she was marinated in medicine, to the point where she could cut a piece of flesh from her arm and sell it as medicinal material on the spot.

Her expressions were too easy to read, and whatever she was thinking was written all over her face. Anderson could tell at a glance that she was thinking about strange things, and finally, he reluctantly allowed her to leave the ward for a bit.

Chloe immediately cheered up and ran out in her slippers.

As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into the doctor who was coming for a routine check-up and Daniel, who had planned to visit her.

Without looking back, Chloe dashed out, not caring what the people behind her were thinking.

The doctor froze for two seconds, then angrily said, "Didn't we agree to let her rest properly? Why did you let her out?"

Faced with the accusation, Anderson remained unmoved.

He quietly said, "The young lady hasn't been out for nearly ten days."

Even a turtle accustomed to hiding in its shell needs to stick its head out for air occasionally.

Obviously, the doctor understood this, but he still believed that Chloe was still sick and it was best not to run outside all day.

It's not good for her health.

In the end, the doctor just glared at Anderson and said, "You keep spoiling her like this, and she'll develop bad habits sooner or later."

Anderson didn't care.

After all, even if he didn't spoil her, Xavier would. Among all the vampires, everyone was eager to pamper Chloe.

Anderson didn't mind, he just thought, if they all could, why couldn't he be the one?

Seeing that he couldn't get through to him, the doctor had to turn to Daniel.

But when he turned around, those little rascals had already run out.

Looking out from the window, he saw Daniel and Chloe fighting.

The fight was intense, and they seemed inseparable.

Qin Huaibei and Katherine were cheering on the side.

The doctor: "......"

Let the world end, now!

Chloe, who was playing happily in the garden below, had no idea that the doctor upstairs was spitting blood.

She felt like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, so excited that she could run around the entire manor forty times.

For instance, right now, Daniel's leg, which had just recovered a little while ago, was beaten by Chloe to the point of limping again. He quickly stopped and hid behind Qin Huaibei, refusing to go again.

Daniel complained, "Playing with you is too exhausting, you go crazy by yourself."

Chloe: "It's just that you're too weak."

Daniel was speechless for a moment, then stubbornly said, "......No, I'm not."

Chloe couldn't bother with the coward, turning instead to Katherine, "My dear, are you feeling better?"

"Not bad," Katherine's silvery eyes showed a hint of ripples, "I should be the one asking you that."

"What could possibly happen to me?" Chloe brimmed with confidence, "I could knock a bull dead with one punch now!"

Katherine: "."

If you say so.

She genuinely applauded, "You're always right."

No matter what Chloe said, going along with her was the right move.

Chloe was pleased, Daniel could avoid some beatings, Qin Huaibei could avoid some scolding, why not?

That's what Katherine thought.

They chatted together for a while, Chloe's mood was fluctuating.

So much so that she didn't notice the figure that suddenly appeared behind her.

It was only when a large hand gripped her neck and lifted her up that she slowly looked back.

It was Xavier.

Chloe: "You made it back alive?"

Xavier, expressionless: "Your father isn't that easy to kill."

Chloe: "That's debatable."

Xavier handed a dagger to Chloe: "You're welcome to try."

The dagger was sharp, the touch was smooth and cold, Chloe felt the dagger, and finally disdainfully threw it back:

"Stop showing off, it's good enough that you came back alive."

Xavier chuckled.

He let Chloe down:

"Why aren't you resting in your room when you're sick?"

Chloe honestly said, "I can't stand the loneliness, I have to go out and play to feel comfortable."

Xavier looked at her for a while, seemingly contemplating.

Finally, he compromised: "As long as you're happy."

In the midst of conversation, Xavier took the time to glance at Qin Huaibei and the others, his gaze lingered on Daniel for a moment, and finally nodded in greeting.

He chatted with Chloe for a while longer, then returned to his office in the mansion.

After he left, Daniel finally let out the breath he had been holding.

He moved closer to Chloe: "Your father's elegant demeanor, he's like a little princess."

Hearing this, Chloe's body stiffened for a moment: "......"

She blankly looked at Daniel, reaching out to touch his forehead: "Are you okay?"

Her father, Xavier, the patriarch, how does he have anything to do with the term 'little princess'?

To prove his point, Daniel mimicked Xavier's previous action, tapped his own head, like a stiff electric pole cut off at the waist, affected and deliberate, and said:

"......You see, a slight nod~"

Chloe: "......"

Katherine interjected from the side: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Daniel felt that his sincerity had been trampled upon, and vowed never to love again.

......

After entering the mansion, the smell of gunpowder from the battlefield on Xavier's body, without any deliberate suppression, began to gradually emanate.

The approaching doctor immediately covered his nose, complaining, "You're always like this when you come back from the battlefield, you reek of death."

Xavier gave him a faint look, without saying a word.

He took off his cloak and hung it on the rack by the door, cutting straight to the chase:

"How's Chloe doing?"

The doctor glanced outside the window, "She's still able to play outside, she should be fine."

"Keep an eye on her," Xavier said, "There can't be any accidents, my daughter cannot have any accidents."

"I understand." The doctor responded.

Xavier stopped chatting with the doctor and made his way to his office without delay.

As soon as he stepped in, he noticed a thin layer of documents on his desk.

Xavier paused, then went over to pick them up and have a look.

They were clearly a few sharp photographs.

In the picture, a large and robust man with distinct werewolf features stood in front of Francis, the Grand Duke. They were shaking hands in a friendly manner, with the Francis Family's backyard as the backdrop.

However, Xavier did not recall ever issuing an order allowing a stranger from another race to enter the Vampire territory.
