Chapter 162: Test (4)
"Wait. Wait a moment," Selene held up her hand to stop him. "You must be better at delivering news like this," Selene said since there was much to think about.
First, Fiona was dead then there was this assumption of her healing from holy weapons again and now, her parents could be alive. There was only so much she could take at once.
"I know I should have eased you into this but if I am right, then you might have a parent who has been awake all this time still under the ground," Xavier said.
They needed to act fast. Despite having the ability to heal, they would lack blood which they needed to stay alive. It was a sensitive matter but Xavier didn’t have time to slowly ease her into this.
For Selene, he wanted to get her parents out of those graves now before they were too late.
Selene didn’t know what to say. If she didn’t know Xavier not to be someone to lie to her then she would have laughed in his face or even slapped him for asking to dig up her parents after the long time it took to get used to their deaths.
"I won’t send anyone to their graves unless I have your permission and unless we can confirm that you hold the power to heal from those weapons. It is a lot I have thrown on you but this requires some urgency," said Xavier.
While Xavier would love to have Selene go on enjoying her day without worrying about this, he knew later on she would not enjoy knowing one of her parents needed to be dug up and he didn’t let her know right away.
Selene didn’t answer Xavier as she walked to a chair to sit down. She needed a moment to grasp all that was said to her.
