JARIS
Someone else treated Xylon? How did that happen without my knowledge?
And was it really effective like Xyla claimed?
Xylon had been suffering from this for years. No one has been able to help.
"Who was it?" I asked, more interested than ever.
"Oh, silly Xyla," Marta suddenly cut in, chucking. "Did you really have to call me someone else? You want it to be a surprise?"
Holding a cup of what she had been mixing, she approached Xylon with it, urging him to drink.
"Xyla just wants it to be a surprise, Jaris. I actually came up with a new formula, and thankfully, it worked. Right, Xyla?" She offered a smile and touched Xyla's hair with tenderness. "Why don't you go get some water for your brother, honey?"
Xyla stood up and left without saying a word. She looked uncomfortable.
