CHAPTER 20
~Xena's POV~
After Xavier dropped us off, Skai and I headed straight inside the hospital to check on Nancy.
She was still sleeping, resting peacefully after her surgery. The doctor assured me she was doing fine, no complications, just fatigue.
I was so relieved by the news that I almost cried right there.
By the time we finally returned home later that evening, exhaustion clung to my bones.
I kicked my shoes off the second we stepped inside. All I wanted was a long bath, preferably the kind where I stayed in the tub until my skin wrinkled.
I tucked Skai into bed first after bathing her, listening to her tiny snores grow steady. The moment I sat on the couch afterwards, my phone buzzed.
I nearly jumped from the bed. I moved towards it and picked it up. As soon as I saw a part of the text, I knew who it was.
