Chapter 1054

His words instantly made her heart skip a beat. He was a busy person who had just lost a loved one… He was the one who should be consoled at the moment… Even so, he had immediately come to her the second the funeral ended… That meant that regardless of how busy he was, he remained concerned for her. If that wasn’t heart-warming, she didn’t know what was… It was shortly after when she realized that her throat wasn’t hurting from the smoke anymore. Knowing that she was now better, she was quick to sit up and say, “…You know what? Once I’ve been discharged, let’s go watch a movie. One that we’ve yet to watch.” Her request caused Zivon’s gaze to momentarily darken as he replied, “…How long did the doctor say you needed to stay here? That aside, don’t ever do something so dangerous again. Your safety should be prioritized.” Though Xavia knew that was true, she really didn’t have any other choice at the time… If she had copulated with Stefan, then it’d only have hurt them both since it wasn’t like she liked him… If such a scenario had played out, she had no doubt that there was a chance that they wouldn’t even be able to remain as friends… Shaking the thought off, Xavia then said, “It wasn’t all that dangerous, really… I just ended up getting knocked out since I was overly anxious… T-that aside, I’m feeling better now, so I think I can discharge already!” “Oh, hush,” grumbled Zivon as he headed off to check on her condition with an actual doctor… However, just as he opened the door, he bumped into Fiona, who had a doctor’s uniform on. Regardless, when she saw him, the simultaneously surprised and pleased woman was prompted to ask, “W-what are you doing here, Brother Zivon…?” “I’m here to visit Xavia,” replied Zivon, though Fiona was able to notice how gently he had said that woman’s name. Not only did that irk her, but it also reminded her of what that b*tch had done to her back at Zivon’s home! Whatever the case was, Fiona believed that Zivon was only caring for Xavia for Jenna’s sake. With that in mind, she clenched her fists before muttering, “…Why did you feel the need to visit her…? Also, why did you allow her into your private home…? That aside, didn’t I already tell you that something was up between Jenna and Keith back at the banquet…? If you had listened to me, she wouldn’t be pregnant now! Either way, she’s really mean, so please don’t be nice to her anymore…” “Since Jenna’s out of the picture, you don’t have to care for this bedridden woman either. I’m pretty sure she’s just as terrible as Jenna… After all, hadn’t she seduced Keith and President Talton before…? If you continue seeing her, she’ll surely ruin your reputation…!” concluded Fiona. Despite her flowery words, it was clear that she was just full of sh*t, and Xavia—who was within earshot of all this—couldn’t help but scoff. Who was that overdramatic b*tch to be indirectly calling her a vixen? Regardless, upon hearing that, Zivon squinted his eyes as he growled, “Watch your mouth. That aside, my relationship with her has nothing to do with you. Do you not remember what happened back then?” In the past, Fiona had attempted to slander Sophia, and had he not stepped in, the Harrisons could’ve gotten involved, thus bringing them a world of trouble… Thankfully, things were settled easily, and Zivon had told her to stay home for three days to reflect on her actions. Either way, upon hearing that, Fiona went pale as she replied, “U-um… I… I just care for you, Brother Zivon…! That aside, remember that I scored ninety-eight out of a hundred, so why don’t you consider dating me instead…?” Unable to stand how shamelessly pretentious Fiona was being, Xavia was prompted to say, “Save the cr*p and just say you want him to marry you.” “Y-you…! Stay out of this! I don’t want to hear that coming from the person who spent a night with President Talton-” “That’s quite enough. If you aren’t going to check on her, then get lost,” interrupted Zivon, who had been disappointed far too many times by her tonight. This, of course, left Fiona stunned. To think that Zivon was getting mad at her for that b*tch’s sake…!
