Without feeling any fear at all against the threat of Akram, Maya even laughed out loud again, her head looked up into the air while her laughing voice roared and mingled with the strong wind.
When her eyes met with Akram's eyes, madness was evident there, indicating that Maya had become wet and decided to act recklessly.
“I'm not afraid if you shoot me in the head,” in a slow voice mixed with laughter, Maya calls out for fear that haunts Akram's soul. “Once you shoot me, I will push your bitch down, and you, a proud and arrogant Akram Night, will do nothing to save her. You're too late, my victory has come. I will take revenge even if I have to lose my life! It's all worth it! It's all worth it!” Maya screams loudly, evoking her horrible feelings of anger and hatred.
Then suddenly, unexpectedly, intense pain and pain from the attack of the smallpox that whack his body suddenly came, throbbing strongly and making his whole body ache without being held back, he said, and it caught Maya off guard, she complained in pain, slightly losing her focus and loosening her grip on Elana's body.
Then, out of nowhere, Xavier who had suddenly been on the side near the balcony, came charging over. The man took advantage of Maya's weak spot he had been waiting for since, then snatched Maya's hand and removed her grip from Elana's neck before she could do anything about it.
As Elana's body is released from Maya's grip, Xavier is forced to push her body forward and fall on the balcony's large glass window sill.
“Akram!” Xavier shouted to Akram, making Akram who was stunned by the lightning-fast action performed by his adoptive brother immediately awakened and he immediately pushed forward, scooping Elana's body into his arms, lifting him up and holding him tightly and bringing him into the room, protected in the circumference of his arm and free from Maya threats.
Maya who realizes that her prey has escaped becomes hysterical. His entire body felt uncontrollable pain and the arrogant victory that had been clasped real in his hands, suddenly released and forcibly snatched without him being able to fight it. He screamed like a madman, yelled break up the night and attacked the person he held responsible for his defeat.
Maya's body dissipates quickly, losing her sanity and only desire to stick a knife into her opponent's body that wreaks her logic. And before Xavier could make a move after he had pushed Elana into the room and handed her over to Akram's protection, Maya's lightning-quick move had first managed to pierce the blade into Xavier's back, stick it deep until only the handle of the knife remains in Xavier's chest.
“Just kill you!” Maya exclaims in a satisfied manner when she sees blood pouring from the knife she plugged into Xavier's back.
It turned out that it felt as good as this to see his enemy shed blood. You know, he had just stuck the knife into Elana's stomach and enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing the blood pour. Maya's fear makes her stride restrained and she instead makes the mistake of bothering to drag Elana to the balcony leading to failure. Regret filled Maya's mind, making her feel an immeasurable real rage.
It's still not too late, he can still attack Elana!
Maya's crazy thoughts pushed her body forward, about to rush into the room again to attack Elana again. But, unexpectedly, Xavier, who was holding back the pain, still had the strength to hold Maya's body, pulled her strong, held her uncontrollable rots and screams, and then, in the end, ending the struggle between the two of them with one powerful push that let Maya's fist slip off the balcony and her body floated in the air.
Maya's eyes widened when she felt the force of gravity begin to suck her body down. He knew that quickly, his end would come to welcome him.
Everything failed, his revenge failed, and even he was defeated here!
“No! Nah! Nooo!”
The sound of Maya's screams was still heard as her body slumped down, falling down, then it disappeared from view along with the sound of his screams that also changed faintly when Maya's body finally slammed down on the lower floor of the hospital and lay a mess full of blood down there
.Xavier had looked down, confirming Maya's terrible death there, before then his eyes were blurry and dark, then his body fell down, losing consciousness.

“His stab wound was very deep, from his back and piercing until it almost reached the front side of his body. The knife, small in size and so sharp that it can cause stab wounds this deep. But luckily the knife did not puncture the heart and other vital areas so Xavier was not in a critical condition at the moment.”
Nathan read the results of the examination report in his hand before then raising his head to stare towards Akram and Elana who were sitting tightly on the sofa that was in front of Xavier's treatment room.
The entire incident was cleared up quickly so as not to attract attention. The police investigation revealed that Maya was a suicide bomber and Akram had done his job so well that no one could link Maya's death to Xavier's whereabouts at the hospital.
And also, there is absolutely nothing that connects with Akram and Elana.
The handling of Xavier was hidden so tightly that it was not sniffed by the authorities who handled Maya's suicide. Xavier was treated in a special room that was not open to the public, isolated and guarded several layers by Akram's forces so that for this time, it was completely impenetrable.
The doctor who handles Xavier is also a doctor of confidence who can not dare to open his mouth about this problem.
Emergency operations were immediately carried out over Xavier's body once the incident was resolved, and at present, Xavier himself has still not woken up from the anesthetic effect after his surgery.
At present, Nathan's doctor has explained Xavier's current condition after undergoing a surgical procedure with Akram and Elana listening intently. Looking behind them, Elios sat down and listened. The man had done his duty to erase all the evidence and traces that might link them to Maya's death, then waited there to talk to Akram after this.
“What…. Will Xavier be okay, later?” anxiously, Elana asked.
Akram seemed to understand what was raging inside Elana's mind. The man hugged Elana tighter into his embrace and clasped his hand to share his strength with her.
“Xavier will be aware as soon as the anesthetic effect of its operation is exhausted. He will be in pain for a few days, and it will take a long time for his healing process. But, he is young, I am sure he will recover quickly,” seeing the anxiety of Elana, Nathan felt unbearable and tried to calm down. “Don't worry, Elana. Xavier is under proper handling, he will recover soon.”
Elana's teary eyes held back tears. He looked at the three men in front of him, the three men who had always looked at Xavier as enemies, and Elana immediately realized that this was the most opportune time to tell the truth about Xavier to everyone.
At least, Elana wanted to return the favor to Xavier, she wanted to clear up all the revengeful and hateful pandnagan directed at Xavier, when the man was misinterpreted for his actions which indeed caused a misunderstanding.
Akram may not have listened to any positive words about Xavier in the past, but now, after Xavier risked his life to save Elana, Akram would have softened his heart to listen to Elana. And Elana will use this opportunity as much as possible and will not waste it.
“You guys.. you all have misunderstood Xavier..” Elana spoke in a stammered voice, her tears dripping down her cheeks, making everyone's gaze in the room point towards her.
Elana did not hold back anymore. He took all those opportunities completely, explaining plainly, launching kalima after sentence of knowledge from his lips. About the reason Xavier snatched Akram's toys and pets, how Xavier was so eager to spend his time with Akram and jealous that Akram ignored him and was busy with his own toys, how Xavier watches when Akram's pet attacks him, and decides to avenge Akram in his own way.
And the most important part is about the betrayal committed by Anastasia, Akram's first lover who turns out to have handed over his body to Xavier while still carrying out his intention to have Akram. How Anastasia had worked out a way to manipulate Akram into marrying her and Anastasia's desire to hold Akram under her power to target her property. And with the cruel punishment given by Xavier to Anastasia next.
Elana also explains that Xavier's murder of those closest to Akram was carried out by Xavier after giving a test of loyalty to the men. Those who are loyal to Akram will be allowed to live like the doctors Nathan and Elios, and those who are unfaithful will be wiped out instantly.
In essence, Elana told everyone listening in the room, that the reason for Xavier's actions all along seemed crazy and cruel, that's all, that, solely because Xavier loves Akram too much as his sister.
Silence stretched across the room, after Elana finished spilling everything she knew about Xavier. Three men there, digesting all the information in their own way, including Akram who chooses not to say anything afterwards.

When Xavier opened his eyes, his gaze immediately met with the eyes of Hazel Akram who was watching him sharply.
Immediately after taking Elana to her new treatment room and waiting until Elana fell asleep due to exhaustion of all the incidents that happened before, Akram decides to enter the room where Xavier is being treated not far from where Elana is.
Upon entering the silent treatment room, Akram immediately dragged the chair closer to the edge of Xavier's bed and sat in silence watching Xavier who was still unconscious there.
Akram sat, silent, watching Xavier while all the things Elana explained to him, churning inside his head, circling around and making his senses jumble with emotions he could not explain.
The opposite reality that Elana had explained, made the way Akram looked at Xavier at this moment change instantly. He always saw Xavier from the negative side throughout his life, therefore, his hatred and antipathy grew bigger with time.
But now, as Akram softens his heart and tries to see things from the positive side, Akram realizes that there are so many good things Xavier has done to help him, even though this strange foster sister still disguises her with a veil of evil attitude.
Akram of course still takes time to digest everything and believe it. Regarding Anastasia's betrayal, all of that was to flip through what she had believed all along, and make Akram's point of view was also reversed instantly.
And Akram continued to wait for some time in silence in the treatment room, until Xavier finally opened his eyes and looked at him.
Xavier immediately grinned when he discovered that Akram was the first person he saw when his eyes opened.
“Why should I see you when I wake up? Am I in hell?” he half joked and half protested. Xavier tried to move, but his movements instantly came to a halt as a sharp pain pierced him deeply.
Akram thinning lips with a wry smile.“Unfortunately, you're still not dead. So your desire to go to hell has not been achieved,” Akram replied.
Xavier's grin grew wider as the man burst into listening to Akram's speech. He was about to laugh in a chuckle, but again stopped because his chest felt so sore.
“Do not move first. The puncture wound on your chest has been operated on and sewn, so you can't and shouldn't move for a while,” said Akram in a flat tone.
Xavier smiles. “If I'm helpless like this, you can get in the wind, eh? I won't be able to do anything against you if you're going to attack me right now.”
“I won't attack you,” refute Akram quickly, his expression showing dislike.
Xavier raised an eyebrow. “You always wanted to attack me. Why don't you do it now? Is it because I was hurt for saving Elana and you tried to loosen your hatred for me?” xavier asked then in a tone full of irony. “Because if you insist on being nice to me just because I feel indebted, then I will not accept it. I'd rather we hate each other..”.
“Elana has told me everything,” Akram interrupted Xavier's mouth which continued to scatter endlessly. As it turned out, suffering from severe pain did not prevent Xavier's mouth from continuing to speak in a disturbing tone towards Akram.
Whatever Xavier was about to say seemed to be halted in midair. The man frowned, looking at Akram vigilantly.
“What do you mean?” ask her with caution. His grin and smile were gone already, alternating with a real seriousness.
Akram squinted. “Elana has told me everything, and even though it feels impossible when looking at you at this time, but I believe it,” said Akram in a firm tone.
Xavier's eyes widened. “You trust what?” a red hue of cursory embarrassment appeared on Xavier's high cheekbones, especially at this time the surface of the man's facial skin was deathly pale because after surgery. But quickly, Xavier covered his feelings and put a flat expression on his face.
“There is no need to make me explain clearly because it will make us both feel ashamed. To be sure, you and I both know what Elana has explained to me,” Akram let out a long sigh, then decided to soften the heart as Elana asked him to. “I might take some time to digest everything. But, if you do have good intentions, I will erase all my bad thoughts towards you, and accept you as my family, Xavier,” breaks it slowly, offering the best compromise he can.
Xavier did not say anything in response to Akram's words, the man muttered only a sentence saying that he would think of Akram's compromise offer, then said that he was tired and wanted to rest.
What Akram did not know when the man left the room was that Xavier shed a tear from the corner of his eye after Akram's death. Tears of relief and happiness are unbearable because eventually, with the help of Elana, Xavier can embrace Akram back as his family.
