Instead of responding to him, she asked, "Have you treated your wound?" He was limping back at the hospital and had a cut on his face, but he stubbornly refused treatment.
A few days had passed since, so Willow wondered if he tended to his injuries.
"You'll know once you meet me," Xavier answered.
Willow said, "I'm going to bed. If you don't have anything else to say, I'm hanging up." "If you won't cout, I'll call Jasper for a duel. The winner gets to be with you. Don't worry, I'll put my life on the line for this fight." Xavier's voice was low and urgent. He wasn't being impulsive nor said it as a threat.

The downstairs of her house? He must be at the previous district! That district was three bus stops away from where she currently lived.
However, Xavier would have done something crazy if Willow didn't go.

After she got out, she entered the area and circled around from the back of the building.
A man was leaning against a Bentley parked outside the building. Dressed in black and white sportswear, he had short chestnut brown hair and a slender figure. He looked somewhat desolate with bandages wrapped around his usually warm and pleasant face.
It was Xavier.
Willow hurried over to him.
Xavier was surprised to see Willow coming from the side of the building since he had been watching the building's stairway instead. Willow was wearing a white dress with her dark hair, still damp, falling on her shoulders. Her fair and delicate face was still fresh after washing up, and she looked just like a pure high schooler.
Xavier's gaze faltered as he watched her with affection and pain in his eyes.

Willow discreetly averted her gaze. "I cout from the back door. Why did you want to see me?" Willow seemed uneasy as she spoke. Her eyes were scanning the vicinity.
The bandage on Xavier's face told her that his injuries had been tended to, so she could now relax.
Xavier grabbed her slender
shoulders and stared at her earnestly with worry. "How could you wash your hair when there's an injury on your forehead? What fit gets infected after coming in contact with water?"
