Chapter 294 Xavier’s Rebirth
The medical team nearby were deeply perplexed this time. Was this individual behaving irrationally? Did he have a penchant for self–inflicted slaps?
Experienced doctors, wary of potential complications, swiftly sought out the hospital’s director. Upon hearing it involved a young lieutenant, the director hurried over without a word.
True to the doctors‘ description, there sat a lieutenant in camouflage attire on a bench, adorned with medals, his hair dishevelled, his face marked with irritation and a swollen cheek. Thankfully, he seemed more composed now, refraining from further self–inflicted slaps.
Having encountered the Burnetts on numerous occasions, the director promptly identified the dishevelled man before him as George. The young lady who had caused such concern for George must be the heiress taken under the Burnetts‘ wing.
The director instructed a nearby doctor, “Quickly contact the Burnetts. Their hospital relied on annual support from them; they
Couldn’t afford to overlook any requests.
“Understood, Director.”
After relaying his instructions, the doctor approached Xavier with trepidation, cautiously briefing him on the situation concerning the Burnetts‘ Master.
“Mr. Burnett, please don’t worry too much. Our hospital’s attending physician has updated you on your sister’s condition. It’s only a minor injury, nothing serious. She collapsed from exhaustion, but
there’s no cause for alarm. She should be discharged tomorrow.”
His gaze turned vacant.
My sister…
Suddenly, he snapped his head up, his crimson eyes locking onto the hospital director with a mix of ineffable sorrow and hopelessness. A hint of wariness was discernible, like a lost child seeking his way home.
“Where is my sister?”
The hospital director was momentarily taken aback by his question. “Eh? Isn’t she inside
“She’s not! She’s unworthy!” Xavier erupted in agitation, then swiftly regained his composure. “She’s not my sister…
Lowering his head like a stubborn child, he reiterated his point, trying to convince everyone, “Milly is my only sister. But it seems I’ve lost her….
His voice emerged, rich and resonant, enveloped in an air of mystery that left the hospital director struggling to grasp the full import of his words. Fragments of phrases floated by, hints of a profound loss permeating his speech.
With a determined air, the director sought clarity, Lost, Mr. Burnett? Pray tell, what is it that you have lost? Should you need aid, we shall endeavour to find it together.”
“A search?” The word echoed, a flicker of hope kindling within Xavier’s eyes. His previously desolate

yes, we must find my sister. I cannot delay!”
In his haste, he nearly stumbled, driven by an urgent need. Milly’s kindness and gentle spirit spurred him. on; she must be waiting, anxious as nightfall approached. He could not bear the thought of her fear.
As he pressed forward, vivid memories cascaded through his mind. He felt a deep conviction that this was not mere fantasy; he had indeed been granted another chance. Two years had passed since Milly’s tragic departure, marked by his own descent into grief and eventual demise at her graveside.
In his final moments, he had clung to the hope that death might reunite them.
Yet, to his astonishment, he awakened in a hospital, staring at his youthful reflection.
Confusion mingled with awe. Was this some final dream before death? It all felt so achingly real. If it were but a dream, could he truly find Milly once more?
Driven by this thought, he urgently sought someone. Memories surged back, and he was abruptly brought to his feet.
Not long ago, he had faced an impossible choice between saving Stephanie and Milly. He had left Milly, wounded and alone in the mountains, even going so far as to break her fingers in a moment of cruelty.
The concept of rebirth, once a distant thought, now filled him with dread. He fervently wished it all to be a nightmare. In his uncertainty, he raised his hand and struck his own face, feeling the sting spread across his cheek. The pain confirmed his reality.
He had been reborn. Yet, even in this new life, he feared he was repeating his past mistakes, abandoning Milly once more.
A torrent of despair overwhelmed him, suffusing his very essence. Milly was lost to him once again.
This day, meant to be one of joy, marked Milly’s first day at school. Jordan had meticulously cleared his schedule, intending to fetch her himself. Yet his plans were abruptly thwarted by a call from the hospital, bearing grievous news of his sister’s injury and admission.
My sister? Are they talking about Milly?
Scarcely had he ended the call with the hospital when another call came, this time from Milly’s counsellor, who disclosed that Milly and Stephanie had vanished during a field trip. Jordan’s heart quickened, and without delay, he sped to the hospital.
On arrival, he encountered Xavier, mud–streaked and bedraggled, emerging from the building.
“Xavier, where is Milly?” Jordan demanded, halting him in his tracks.
Xavier, as if in a daze, ignored the query and continued walking. A chill of foreboding crept over Jordan, and he grasped Xavier’s arm, seeking answers with growing urgency. “Xavier, where is Milly?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Xavier struggled to free himself, his voice a broken record of resolve, “I must find Milly, I must find Milly, I must find Milly…
Jordan’s eyes narrowed, a sense of dread swelling within him as he spoke, his voice like the rumble of distant thunder: “What do you mean? If Milly is not here, then who have you brought back? Stephanie?

Did Milly not go missing with Stephanie? And you returned with only one?”
His words struck Xavier like a blade, rendering him still. Slowly, Xavier lifted his gaze, clarity seeping back into his eyes upon recognizing Jordan. Overwhelmed, he reached out for solace, “Jordan… what should we do? Milly is hurt, she’s bleeding. I left her on the mountain, she…
The sentence was cut short by a resonating bang.
Jordan could not endure the words any longer. His heart splintered into shards, rage surging within him. With a fierce cry, he struck Xavier’s face. “You coward, how could you! How could you!”
