*Xavier’s POV*
We moved Gabriella to a medical ward to keep her sedated. My heart breaks watching her lay in the bed, showing no emotion. She stares at the wall but still lets me hold her in my arms. When I hold her, she relaxes and runs her hands down my arms, but something has changed. She isn't herself.
But her head has stopped hurting. I don't know what's worse than seeing her in pain or showing no emotion. My other assures me Gabriella will be okay. We have to be patient. I am waiting for news about our father’s journey to get Marco back. When he returns safe and sound, I think that will help Gabriella recover sooner. I sit on the bed with Gabriella’s head on my chest and her arms around me. I kiss her head and run my fingers over her back. I am hoping that my touch soothes her.
