Chapter 87: Worry About His Health
Instantly, Iris’s hand hung in the air just before touching the doorknob. Her body tensed upon hearing Xavier’s voice from behind.
’My goodness! Why is he up so early?’ Iris wondered. She turned around to face him and could sense the anxiety radiating from his eyes. "I want to jog—"
"Jogging? Are you sure? It’s still dark and cold outside..." Xavier expressed his concern. When he saw her nod, his worry grew. "Alright, wait here—"
Iris was confused, looking at Xavier having gone inside. She patiently waited for his return.
After a few minutes, Xavier reappeared wearing his dark long coat. He held something in his hand and passed it to Iris. "Put this on—" he said, offering her the black lightweight fabric.
Iris was surprised to find a windbreaker jacket. She was actually searching for this jacket in her closet but she couldn’t find it. "Thank you, Xavier..." She expressed her gratitude and hastily donned the windbreaker. Once she finished, she looked up at him. "Y-You want to join me for the jog?" she asked, perplexed as he was dressed in a long coat rather than a windbreaker like her.
"I’m not particularly fond of physical training. I’ll just keep you company," he casually replied. His hand slowly raised to ensure her jacket was properly zipped. Although his gesture caught her off guard, she didn’t refuse it. She truly appreciated his small kindness like this. "Alright, let’s go..." He continued while opening the door.
As the door swung open, a sudden blast of cold air met Iris’s face. She was momentarily taken aback but quickly adapted to the chill, beginning a light run towards the beach, with Xavier following at a leisurely pace.
Even though the sun hadn’t fully risen, Iris could still see her surroundings. Arriving at the beach, she did some stretches while waiting for Xavier to walk closer.
