Being more seasoned than the others, the Professor immediately injected Zivon with a sedative to prevent things from getting worse… and once that was done, he glared bullets at Xavia! How shameless could that woman get?! Had he known that this would happen, then he would’ve surely followed Rhea’s advice and injected Zivon with an amnesiac earlier! In the end, his professionalism and ethics had prevented him from doing as Rhea suggested. Besides, people grew with pain, and even if his granddaughter would’ve been able to potentially marry Zivon had he used the drug, the professor was sure that it wouldn’t be a happy marriage. Then again, with how vile Xavia was, his granddaughter could probably win his heart without having to resort to any trickery in the first place! Shaking his head, the irked man then lowered his scalpel before walking up to Xavia and growling, “…The surgery was a success, and he’ll be able to stand again soon. With that said, please leave already! Leave with your

Knowing that staying would only make him angrier, everyone simply exchanged gazes before slowly leaving the ward… Once he was alone, the infuriated man attempted to calm himself down by taking a few deep breaths… but shortly after, his phone began ringing. It was a call from Nathan. “We’ve found her, Young Master Burton! She’s currently on a cruise on Darlsbury River, and from the looks of it, she’s safe-” “Then come back and wheel me over to her…! I’m meeting her with my own eyes!” retorted Zivon instantly causing Nathan to gulp. After all, he had purposefully left out the fact that she was with Mark so that he could resolve things and get a proper explanation from her before bringing her back, but… Now that Zivon had said that, what else could he do? Moving back to Xavia, she found herself feeling increasingly warm, with her body slowly bobbing up and down from time to time… What was this feeling…? Where was she…? Eventually, she managed to pry her eyes open… and that was w

Shocked to hear that, Mark replied, “…Do you really hate me that much…? How have things come to this…?” Smiling bitterly, Xavia replied, “…You already know the answer to that.” …True enough, he did, and in the end, the two fell silent… Alas, despite their awkwardness, it didn’t change the fact that Rhea had earlier burned some stimulating incense in that room… And by this point, Xavia’s mind was starting to get hazy as the discomfort across her body grew… Eventually, she yearned for someone’s touch so much that she ended up holding Mark’s hand… and naturally, that alone sent jolts of pleasure running throughout the already weakened man’s body! Pinning her against the floor, he was just about to kiss her… when all of a sudden, he recalled her earlier threat. Thanks to that, he was able to snap out of it in time… And after pushing her away, he was prompted to yell, “S-snap out of it, Xavia! It’s me! Mark! Not Zivon…! Don’t you remember your threat…?! Fight the urge…!” With te

His train of thought was finally cut short when he heard Nathan yell, “W-wait! Boss! She’s bleeding…!” When he heard that, Zivon finally looked down… and sure enough, her knee was bleeding. Some of the blood had even dried out by this point… Squinting slightly, he was prompted to ask, “…Who did this to you? What’s the meaning of this?” Chuckling bitterly, Xavia replied, “Just noticed, huh…? Look behind me. There’s already a small pool of blood there. I’ve been bleeding for a long time…” Realizing that she was right, he couldn’t help but purse his lips before saying, “…I’m sorry. I failed to notice in time. Nathan! Get me a first aid kit-” “It’s fine. After all, you were so sure that I was a whore that you didn’t even consider looking at anything else aside from how ragged I was. You didn’t notice the shattered vase, the broken window, or the blood… And thanks to that, I finally know how you view me. So stop pretending that you care about me, alright?” Though her words hurt,

Naturally, the frantic man immediately attempted to chase after her… but barely a step later, he nearly came toppling down! Quickly pushing the wheelchair toward Zivon, Nathan exclaimed, “Y-Young Master Burton! Please don’t strain your legs any further-” “To hell with that damned wheelchair…! Why the hell didn’t you run a proper investigation before telling me that she was here?!” roared Zivon as he knocked the wheelchair over. Trembling in response, Nathan was just about to answer when a familiar voice suddenly replied, “I was the one who arranged for that, so don’t be too hard on Mr. Miller.” Raising a slight brow, Zivon realized that it was Ian… and after frowning a little, he was prompted to ask, “…Explain yourself.” Sneering in response, Ian scoffed, “I was already well aware that Rhea would attempt to harm Xavia sooner or later, which is why I had a spy follow her around for a while. As it turned out, she had initially attempted to get your professor to make you forget
