Chapter 1031

Zivon, for one, had considered this to be a tacit admission, and he couldn’t help but slam his fists against the car door once more…! This time, it was so hard that his knuckles ended up bleeding in the end… Moving back to Xavia, she didn’t dare return to the hospital. After all, her clothes were in tatters, and if Yulia saw her in that condition, she’d definitely believe that Xavia had come across a bad person. With that in mind, Xavia ended up returning to the old house on her own. When she arrived in the countryside, only the sounds of croaking frogs filled the night… Upon seeing her, Dolly—who was awoken by Xavia’s return—yawned before asking, “Xavia…? What are you doing here…? Weren’t you supposed to visit Yulia at the hospital after giving Young Master Burton that lunchbox…?” Patting Dolly on the head, Xavia—who didn’t want Dolly to see how wretched she looked—then turned her friend around before saying, “Yulia’s already fallen asleep. That aside since she’s returning tomorrow, I figured I may as well clean the place up a bit first. Regardless, go on back to sleep. I need to take a bath first.” “Alright…” mumbled Dolly with another yawn before heading back to sleep… Seeing that, Xavia quickly headed to the bathroom… and shortly after, icy cold water began running down her skin… Despite how cold it was, her heart felt even colder… By this point, she didn’t even want to think about Zivon and Sophia any longer… All she wanted was to be a bit more broad-minded. But… How was she to progress from this point…? Everything that had just happened still felt like a nightmare, and she simply wasn’t able to properly process everything… In the end, Xavia ended up getting a fever the very next day. Naturally, Yulia noticed how unwell her mother was, which was why the concerned girl couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve fallen sick right after I got better, Mommy…?” “…It’s nothing major… The weather’s a little warm, so it’s normal to get unwell… That aside, I’m sorry, but Mommy doesn’t think we’ll be able to go home today… Mommy has to take an infusion for quite a bit…” muttered Xavia. “Don’t worry, Mommy! You kept me company while I was sick, so it’s only fair that I do the same for you!” replied Yulia as she patted Xavia’s head. What a truly sensible and adorable girl… After smiling at how sweet her daughter was being, Xavia couldn’t help but feel that she only had herself to blame for all her suffering. After all, wasn’t she already happy enough with her well-behaved daughter? Why did she need to torment herself with love? As Xavia remained deep in thought, she failed to notice Yulia quietly sneaking out of the ward… It didn’t take long for the child to find Zayne, and when she did, she walked up to him before asking, “Do you have Future Daddy’s phone number, Uncle Zayne…?” With how adorable she was, Zayne felt his heart melt as he replied, “I do… What’s wrong?” “Well, Mommy’s sick, and women need comfort when they’re feeling unwell, so… Could you call Future Daddy to pay Mommy a visit…?” Upon hearing that, Zayne immediately replied, “Of course I can! Though in return, could you give uncle a kiss on the cheek?” To his surprise, the child kissed his cheeks thrice without any hesitation! It took him a while to react, but the delighted Zayne instantly exclaimed, “What a sweet child…!” Following that, Zayne quickly dialed Zivon’s number before handing his phone to the girl… and the second the call connected, Yulia was quick to say, “Future Daddy…? It’s me! Yulia! My phone was lost back when that accident happened… That’s why I’m using Uncle Zayne’s phone to call!” Naturally, Zivon was surprised to hear her voice. After all, he hadn’t heard it for the longest time… With that in mind, he set his anger aside before replying, “Is that so… What’s up?” “It’s Mommy! She’s ill and on an IV right now… Could you come over…? I want to meet you as well… Even if you don’t want to see me, please come over to see Mommy…!” exclaimed the girl in an expectant tone. This prompted Zivon to raise a slight brow. Was Xavia sick enough that she needed to be put on a drip? That aside, why wasn’t Keith there to accompany her? In the end, however, he didn’t want to make Little Bun sad, so he simply replied, “…Alright. I’ll be there soon.” “Promise, alright? Mommy was really sad that you didn’t come over that night…” muttered Yulia. Sad? That woman had only given him the cold shoulder back then since she was already head over heels for Keith! Shaking the thoughts off, Zivon let out a subtle sigh as he said, “…Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon…” He, for one, wasn’t about to treat this child coldly. That aside, he knew that he needed to make a few things clear to Xavia. With that, he hung up and put his work down before heading to the hospital… Though he had wanted to speak to Yulia first, he hadn’t expected Xavia to be the only one in the ward when he arrived…
