Xavier happened to hear their conversation outside the ward, and he rolled his eyes as he walked in


    with a golden velvet cake he had just bought.” What’s the good of eating apples? They’re cold and bad


    for your teeth… This, on the other hand, is a golden velvet cake I bought for you after much effort and


    lining up.” Xavier stood between Santiago and Leia before handing the cake to Leia.


    Although Leia scowled at Xavier, she had actually been craving that famous golden velvet cake, so she


    didn’t reject it. Besides, the chef that made the golden velvet cake only made three of them a day, and


    they could only be bought if the person was sincere enough. Leia had tried lining up several times and


    begged the chef for ages, but hadn’t managed to get it. Somehow, Xavier had managed to get it, which


    meant he had probably put a lot of effort into it.


    “Apples are nutritious, and that cake is too sweet. Lei is recovering now, so she can’t have too much


    sugar.” With a cold expression, Santiago stepped in front of Xavier and reached out to Leia. “Lei, be


    good and watch what you eat. If you recover fast, you can be discharged early.” Leia held the cake and


    swallowed nervously. She didn’t dare to eat it.


    “It’s just a cake; the doctor didn’t say she couldn’t have it. And cakes can bring her more happiness


    than your corny jokes, so stop butting in,” Xavier snapped at Santiago.


    “If you want what’s best for Lei, you should consider her health first. Yes, she may be happy now, but


    who’s going to take responsibility if it affects her recovery?” Santiago said firmly, refusing to let Leia


    indulge in the cake.


    “Of course I’m going to take responsibility for her life. She’s my girlfriend, and we’re going to get


    married in the future. We don’t needments from a superstar like you…” Xavier scoffed and turned


    to Leia. “Don’t worry, you can eat it. It’s just a cake.”


    While they were arguing, Leia’s attending doctor entered the ward. Immediately, Leia waved at the


    doctor and pointed at the cake before pointing at her mouth eagerly.


    “You can eat it.” The doctor smiled and said, “Your body can process a bit of sugar. Plus, eating a cake


    isn’t a big deal if it brings you joy. It’ll even help with your recovery.”


    Xavier turned and shrugged at Santiago. “Did you hearthat? Stop controlling Lei’s choices with your


    self-righteous opinions. What you think may not be right for her.”


    Santiago ignored Xavier and said to Leia, “Go ahead and eat it since the doctor said it’s okay.”


    At first, Leia was full of eagerness, but suddenly, she stopped and put the cake aside.


    Frowning, Xavier asked, “Why aren’t you eating it?” “I can’t eat it because I’m trying to slim down.” Leia


    typed a few words on her phone and showed them to Xavier, trying to control her expression. She had


    been craving the cake for a long time, but she didn’t want to disappoint Santiago.


    Xavier’s expression turned cold because he was hurt. “Do I mean so little to you? Are you really forcing


    yourself to give the cake up even though you want it?”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
