Chapter 912

Xander gave a smile, but his eyes looked intense and scary. "He wants to see me," Xander said.

"I'll come with you," Abigail replied.

Xander reached over and gently tousled her hair. "Nova had something to do with your grandma's death... Do you really not blame me at all?"

"I told you, Nova is Nova, and you're you. You're two completely different people," Abigail said. "Whatever he did wrong, it has nothing to do with you."

"He gave me my life, and his blood flows in me..." Xander's voice trailed off.

"So what?" Abigail cut in, her voice strong.

Her words made Xander feel brave and warm inside, but he still could not shake the feeling. "Sometimes, I feel like I have dirty blood in me."

"Don't think like that," Abigail said. "You know, you and I are kind of in the same boat. You're a victim, too. Whatever bad things Nova did, he should be the one to deal with the consequences. Why should you have to pay for his mistakes?"

Xander was about to say something when the doorbell rang.
