...Whether Ellen had fallen for Zivon after being around him for so long. If that was the case, then disaster would surely strike again when Xavia woke up… Ellen had an idea of what Jenna was thinking, so she was quick to say, “Not to worry, I’d never fall for such a brute of a man. You, on the other hand… I hope you don’t take this opportunity to try anything funny.” Pursing her lips when she heard that, Jenna replied, “I know my place, and you know how much I care about my sister now. Regardless, good to know that you aren’t yearning for her man… After all, almost everyone who’s had their eyes on him has ended up tragically…” With that said, she turned to leave… and once Ellen was alone again, she couldn’t help but lower her gaze. There was no way that she’d fall for Zivon… Right? Either way, once Jenna was together with the two unconscious lovers, she couldn’t help but sigh and hold Xavia’s hand while muttering, “Hey… It’s Jenna… Wake up already, won’t you…? You’re starting
...What? Weren’t the kids already dead? Was he trying to reunite with them in heaven?! That thought alone was enough to make her try to stop Zivon… but with how much trouble she was already in, all she could do was watch helplessly as that bleeding man swam off… It was shortly after when Zivon passed out from blood loss… But it didn’t take long for him to feel someone drag him out of the water. All according to plan! Following that, he allowed himself to be dragged up to shore… and eventually, he heard a familiar voice frantically calling out to him. It was then that he finally decided to open his eyes… and from the bed he was now on, he was able to see the tanned woman with shoulder-length hair crying out for him. Sure, she looked way different now, but this woman was undeniably Fiona…! “…I knew you were still alive.” Startled to hear that, Fiona replied, “…You… You still recognize me…?” Though Fiona was touched, her hopes were quickly crushed when she heard Zivon scoff,
“T-that’s impossible…! You’re lying…! I-I’m sure you’ll faint soon because of the drug-” “Have you forgotten that I’m an actual doctor…?! It’s been ages since I’ve created the antidote to your drug! It’s useless against me! Oh, and thanks for being theatrical by giving me time to react while the car was pummelling toward the river! Only you would dare to do such a thing to me, and thanks to that, I was able to take the antidote in time! Congratulations! You’ve played yourself!” “No…! No…!” howled the desperate Fiona who simply couldn’t believe that her painstaking plan had been cracked so easily! Sneering in response, Zivon then said, “Really though, did you really think that I’d just leave my car so easily detectable? After everything that you’ve done, no less? It had all been a plan to lure you out! There had already been a high chance that the kids were still alive because we were unable to find their corpses, and I just wanted to hear the answer straight from your mouth! Rega
Leaping out of the helicopter, Ian was quick to ask, “Zivon! Are you hurt?!” James and Jacob were quick to run over as well while yelling, “Where’s that bitch…?! We can’t let her off again!” Smiling subtly when he saw how much they cared about him, Zivon replied, “…I’m fine, though someone else needs medical attention right now…” Looking in the direction that Zivon pointed at, Ian quickly realized that the unconscious and drenched Ellen was lying close by! Before he could ask what happened, Zivon explained, “She must have tried her best to follow me earlier, and since I had to pretend to have passed out earlier… Yeah, you get the picture.” Nodding in response, Ian then turned to face the twins before saying, “Jacob, focus on healing her up. James, tie Fiona up and take her into the helicopter.” Once the twins had run off, Ian sighed before pausing for a long while… and eventually, he looked at Zivon and muttered, “…You know, if anything were to happen to you, then Xavia…”
Realizing what she had just done, Ellen gulped before replying, “A-apologies, I acted out of line… It’s just… When you said that you were off to find the kids, I assumed that you were saying that you wanted to meet the kids up in heaven, and… I… I just… My mind was in a mess, so when I learned that you were safe and sound, the relief just overrode my common sense for a while… Again, I apologize for my earlier behavior…” …She had been that worried about him? Though the Frankston brothers were left speechless, Zivon simply replied, “…I’m not as fragile as you think, and I’d never try to just waste my life like that. Putting this nonsense aside, did you manage to see anything noteworthy before you passed out?” Furrowing her brows, Ellen eventually muttered, “…Not particularly…” The truth was, her eyes had only been on him that entire time, but there was no way that she could just tell him that… Understandably disappointed with that reply, Zivon simply remained silent throughout th
In the following days, Zivon would either be seen at his office, or by Xavia’s side… and whenever Ellen tried discussing Xavia’s situation with him, Jacob and James would always make sure to stop her. Eventually, she was able to make her way to his office, but… unlike before, he didn’t seem keen on talking with her at all. That alone was enough to make her understand his point of view… Fast forward to a night sometime later, Zivon drank so much with Chace and Zayne that he ended up vomiting his guts out… When he finally left the washroom, he was greeted by the sight of a worried-looking Ellen who handed him a glass of warm water and some stomach medicine before asking, “…Do you need me to hypnotize you to ease the pain?” Ignoring the items she had handed out to him, he simply rubbed his temple before replying, “…It’s fine. You can head back.” Pursing her lips, Ellen eventually muttered, “…Is it really necessary for you to be so distant? Are you afraid that you’ll fall for me or
With widened eyes, Ellen eventually replied, “W-we’ve been going about this all wrong after all! As you said, we’ve been trying to deal with her trauma this entire time, but that hasn't been the problem at all! No, the problem had been the beautiful world that she had created in her mind! If we manage to destroy that, then we’ll surely be able to force her back to reality!” Following a slight pause, Zivon then said, “…Wonderful deduction, Miss Garcia. Truth be told, I had the same idea before, but I wanted to hear it from your mouth first before bringing it up. It seems that this is the way to go from here.” Though surprised by his words, she quickly smiled before replying, “…I see! Well, no matter! Now, let’s see… There are two ways to potentially ruin her dream. First, we could directly enter it, and secondly, we could attempt to send subliminals into her brain…” “…Enter her dream? You aren’t pulling my leg, are you?” “Not at all, though honestly, the second option is much mo
Glaring at him, she then lifted her shirt before saying, “Say that again to my face!” Of course, this caught Jacob completely off guard! What the hell?! Though surprised by her actions, his eyes were simultaneously glued to her buxomness… Honestly, the plumpness made her look all the more enticing… Sadly for him, Ellen quickly pulled her shirt back down before adding, “There, happy? Now move!” Following that, she walked off with a huff, leaving the stunned Jacob behind… God, was he ever going to be able to forget what he had just witnessed today…? Either way, the doctors soon arrived, and after putting Xavia through a brain scanner, they found that the impulses in her brain were still fairly active. What’s more, just as Ellen had said, the machine was able to move Xavia’s body a little… and for that to happen, that meant that she wasn’t too far gone yet! There was still hope! Naturally, Zivon was pleased by all this. Chace and Zayne themselves couldn’t help but praise, “You r
