Chapter 1020

Upon seeing her score, Xavia was simultaneously filled with a cocktail of joy, excitement, and discouragement, and the feelings persisted all the way till morning came… Her train of thought was cut short when a doctor entered the ward and said, “Yulia’s condition is stable now, Miss Lockhart. However, we still need to do routine check-ups on her for a while, and she also needs to take an infusion every day for the time being. Regardless, I suggest that you bring her to the wellness room to allow her to regain motor functions quicker.” Since Yulia had been bedridden for so long, her legs had grown rather weak, which was why the doctor was suggesting this. Either way, the overjoyed Xavia was quick to reply, “T-thank you so much, doctor…!” Once the doctor had left, she turned to look at Yulia before saying, “Did you hear that, Yulia? You’re all better now! They’ll definitely allow you to discharge soon!” “I heard, Mommy! I’ll soon be able to play with Brother Maison again!” exclaimed the pleased Yulia. “That’s right! Mommy will bring you to them once you’re all healed!” “No! I want to meet them tonight!” retorted the child who was already all jumpy. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to change the child’s mind, Xavia ultimately replied, “…Alright, I’ll call them over tonight once Mommy’s done with work…” “Yay! Hurry off to work then, Mommy! I’ll be a good girl and do my physiotherapy training properly!” said the child as she urged Xavia to leave. Smiling helplessly, Xavia replied, “Alright, alright, just let Mommy sign you up for the training and I’ll be off…” It was only after everything was done—and Xavia was on her way to the studio—when she sent a message to Zivon, stating, ‘Yulia’s recovery is going well, and she wants to meet you and Maison tonight. Are you free?’ It was about a minute later when Zivon replied, ‘I am, though…Do you only want me over for Yulia’s sake…? That aside, where are you right now? I’m heading to my office soon, so why don’t I pick you up on the way?’ Zivon, for one, hadn’t been able to tell that Xavia was angry that night, and since the both of them had packed schedules yesterday, they hadn’t had the chance to meet at all. When Xavia read the message, she couldn’t help but look slightly glum. After all, she had been rather upset that night not only because his culinary tastes were similar to Sophia’s, but also because they drank the same wine… It didn’t help that he had brought her over without properly explaining things first… She truly felt like the third party that night… Still, she hadn’t thrown a tantrum since Zivon bringing her along meant that he had nothing to hide. That aside, just as Bianca and Dolly had said, she was already incomparable with Sophia. With that in mind, getting mad over this would only make her look petty. However… was he really unable to notice her anger at all…? Or did he think that she shouldn’t be angry in the first place…? After a brief moment, Xavia gently patted herself on the cheeks. There was no point in always overthinking things! With that in mind, she ultimately replied, ‘It’s fine, I’m already in a cab to work. See you tonight.’ ‘Got it. I’ll make sure to finish work earlier,’ texted Zivon, prompting Xavia to put her phone away… In truth, content creators didn’t have it all that easy. After all, they had several things to consider, including the content’s appropriacy, the backdrop, and even the natural lighting! In the end, the more aesthetic and sentimental their videos were, the more people would like them. However, it certainly didn’t help that their sponsor was rushing them to fork out more videos… Shaking the thought off, Xavia then hurried to the studio… and upon arriving, she immediately began shooting with Bianca and Dolly. If they could film a video a day, then they’d surely be able to meet the publishing quota by the end of the week. Knowing that each of the videos required Xavia to be in-shot, Bianca was prompted to seriously ask, “…Are you sure you’re ready for this, Xavia…?” She was asking since everyone would learn of her existence once the videos were officially uploaded…
