Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296

How could Hazel not feel heartbroken? Hayden was her flesh and blood

Ar that moment, a thread of dissatisfaction with Bobby began to creep

ep into her heart, but since she depended on him for support, she dared not go against him.

She watched Lily’s car disappear into the distance, conflicted and deep in thought. After all, they were family, and this was the situation Lily least wanted to see.

on her way back, her heart felt like it had been thrown into a meat grinder, painfully shredded.

They didn’t love her, didn’t care whether she lived or died, and she accepted that. But how could they, who valued sons over daughters, abandon even Hayden?

she couldn’t imagine what she would have done if Rowan hadn’t provided her with the final option. Would she have just watched Hayden’s treatment stop and let him suffer like that?

When she returned to Aqua Sonata, she parked the car and got out. Walling around to the back seat, she opened the door. “Hayden, we’re home.”

“Okay,” he responded for the first time in a long while. That one word was enough to ease the turmoil in her heart by several degrees.

She linked her arm with his, grabbed his belongings, and went upstairs to their apartment

The one–bedroom apartments

it was small,

1, so Lily decided to sleep on the floor outside the bedroom to better take care of him.

Once inside, Hayden sat motionless on the couch. His black–and–white eyes occasionally focused on her as she moved about, but soon, they lost their light, like dead wood, and drifted away.

The money she had would be enough to cover his medical expenses and daily costs for the next month.
