Chapter 1049

With that in mind, Xavia took a deep breath before posting her own comment that stated, ‘Rest in peace.’ Following that, she sent Zivon a message that said, ‘My deepest condolences.’ Though her message was simple, it came from the heart. Besides, Xavia figured that Zivon would be too busy to reply to her anyway… To her surprise, it took him less than a minute to reply, ‘I’ll need to deal with grandma’s funeral and wake for the next few days. With that said, please take good care of yourself, and make sure to call Nathan if you need anything.’ …He was still replying and caring for her even after such a devastating event… Feeling touched, Xavia immediately sent another message, stating, ‘Don’t worry about me. Just focus on properly sending Lady Burton off…’ ‘Got it,’ concluded Zivon, prompting the two to stop texting… Looking up at the dark sky, Xavia heaved a long sigh before saying, “…Life truly is fleeting… One second you’re alive, the next, you’re dead…” Upon hearing that, Dolly walked up to her side as she replied, “Indeed. Because of that, we need to live our lives properly, and happily… Make sure not to overlook those who are worthy to us either…” “I know… We need to focus on becoming better versions of ourselves as well,” muttered Xavia with a nod. While ordinary people mostly lived for their own benefits, Ava had spent a good chunk of her life fighting for the rights of everyone. In other words, Ava was one of the few people who had led memorable and meaningful lives… With that in mind, Xavia was prompted to add, “…Let’s continue churning out good videos. Once we’re rich, we’ll donate it to the needy! Let’s make our lives just as meaningful!” “Hell yeah! Let’s strive to become the best versions of ourselves!” replied Dolly as the women began discussing their upcoming plans… It was sometime later when Xavia recalled that Zivon wouldn’t be able to eat the dinner she had made. Not wanting the food to go to waste, Xavia quickly returned to get it. Since she was already there, she made sure to turn off any electrical appliances as well. Since she couldn’t help him with the funeral procedures, she’d at least make sure that he wouldn’t have to worry about anything regarding the house… In the end, the funeral was scheduled to be in three days, and throughout those days, Zivon wore only black suits with white flowers attached to his lapels… Since he spent most of his time by the old lady, Zayne and Chace—who weren’t about to let their brother suffer alone—made sure to help him deal with any miscellaneous matters… Despite how depressing everything was, Jenna continued pretending to cry during the day, and celebrating once she returned to her private quarters. Xavia herself spent her time making more videos and studying up—with Dolly and Bianca—methods to expand their reach so that traditional handicraft could enter the spotlight again… It was one evening when Xavia surprisingly received a message from Stefan, stating, ‘I’m in Darlsbury now, Xavia. Can we meet?’ …At this hour? Since Stefan was now single again, Xavia was rightfully hesitant. After all, if Zivon found out about their meeting and misunderstood again… Before Xavia could reply, Stefan sent another message that wrote, ‘Also, could you bring Yulia along? I haven’t seen the little princess in a while, and I’ll be flying back to S City tomorrow morning…’ Upon reading that, Xavia knew she couldn’t just refuse. With that, she hesitantly replied, ‘Alright. Just send me your location and I’ll come over.’ Once she received his next message, Xavia quickly got changed before heading out. Since the sky was already getting dark and it had started to drizzle, Xavia ultimately decided not to bring Yulia along. Regardless, though Xavia trusted Stefan a lot, she hadn’t anticipated what she was going to be facing tonight… Upon her arrival at the hotel room, she was greeted by the sight of a bare-chested Stefan leaning against a couch, his eyes closed. As if that wasn’t already strange enough, Xavia couldn’t help but sense that Stefan appeared to be… in pain? Frowning slightly, she quickly walked up to him while asking, “Stefan? What’s wrong?”
