The moment the call connected, Smelian's anxious voice came from the terminal: "Xiaxia, are you okay? Are you hurt? Should I have Doctor Eugene come to the house to check on you?"
"There's no need, Smelian. I'm fine, don't worry. Tucker protected me very well. I have you to thank for arranging for someone to guard me ahead of time. I'm not hurt, so don't worry."
She knew Smelian must have been terrified, so Lu Xia patiently reassured him.
Smelian quickly asked, "Xiaxia, are you still planning on going to the No.2 Institute? I'm coming over now."
"Smelian, I'm okay. You don't need to rush over. Of course, if it'll put your mind at ease, then I'll wait for you at the No.2 Institute."
After Lu Xia ended the call, Smelian took off his gloves and said to the person on the screen, "Don't you people have your own doctors? Why do you come looking for me every time something happens?"
Graces didn't answer his question, asking instead, "Is Xiaxia okay?"
