Though he was hugging her so tightly that she found it a little hard to breathe, Xavia didn’t push him away. After all, though the other Zivon had felt warm, this Zivon’s warmth felt more… genuine. Unsure how to explain it otherwise, she simply hugged him back and patted his shoulder while saying, “There, there… I’m here… Don’t worry. I won’t ever leave your side again, no matter which Von you are…” It was clear that she still didn’t know whether she was dreaming or not, but before Zivon could explain the situation, he suddenly covered his mouth… but sadly, that wasn’t enough to prevent the black blood from getting sprayed all over her bedsheets! As everyone exchanged horrified glances, Ian was quick to roar, “Skip Xav’s check-up for now! He needs her blood! Stat!” Nodding in response, Zayne and Matthew quickly got to work as the flustered Xavia stared wide-eyed at her dying husband. That was right! She had overheard them saying that Zivon was dying in her dream! How could she ha
Now teary-eyed, she looked at her husband before weakly asking, “B-but didn’t she stab him in the heart…? How did he…?” “She didn’t stab deep enough, though that doesn’t mean that it didn’t take a lot of effort and luck for him to continue living this long…” replied Ian. …So that was the case… If so, then that confirmed it…! She really was back in her original world, and in it, Zivon was still alive…! What a true miracle…! Now trembling quite a bit, the overjoyed woman held Zivon’s hand for a while before asking, “…And what was that about the kids still being alive…?” Nodding in response, Ian explained, “Basically, he never gave up hope that the kids were still alive. Quite honestly, we figured that it was just a coping mechanism for him, but… As it turned out, he was right. Oh, but to fill in the gap of what happened after he managed to corner Fiona… After her capture, Fiona’s father made a scene during one of the Burton family’s events, and it was then that Fiona’s crimes were
Her train of thought was cut short when Yasmin said, “What I’m saying is that you truly have the most wonderful husband on the planet… You see, the doctors have stated that you were almost guaranteed to never wake up again for ages, and though we eventually gave up hope, Zivon simply continued believing in you…” “He stayed by your side, day and night, taking care of you without the slightest complaint… He truly is something else…” “In fact, he even studied hypnotherapy just for extra measure to see if that could help! I’ve seen him study hypnosis in the dead of night several times by now, and honestly, his efforts probably helped in the long run…” concluded Yasmin. …Wait, so it really was him! He really had called out to me and kissed me back then! “Either way, the initial hypnosis attempts led to failure, which further dampened everyone’s spirits… Well, everyone aside from Zivon. We even told him to just move on from you, but he simply replied that he had promised to always be
Naturally, Xavia didn’t. She simply couldn’t. After all, Zivon was truly worthy of her mother’s decision… And with that in mind, Xavia took a deep breath and held her hand before saying, “…There’s no way that I’d ever blame you… After all, I’d save him even if I had to drain all the blood in my body just to do so! That aside, thank you for loving us so much…” Smiling in response, the tired woman then hugged her daughter, glad that this ordeal was over for now… Only God knew how difficult it had been for her to say those earlier words… It was shortly after when the neurobiologist returned with Xavia’s check-up results, and after clearing his throat, he was prompted to say, “So… From what we’ve found, Mrs. Burton is now in stable condition, though she’s still quite weak so she needs to recuperate for a bit longer. Oh, and since her brain just recovered, try not to bombard her with information. She needs to take it slow for now. We’ll continue keeping an eye on her for another week, a
With how quickly he had dozed off, Xavia couldn’t help but worry that he genuinely wouldn’t wake up again… But since she was exhausted, she soon fell asleep as well. Despite her exhaustion, she found herself constantly waking up again just to check his pulse… and once she was sure that he was still alive, she’d quickly drift back to sleep. Since Zayne and Matthew had to monitor the two through the surveillance cameras, they saw all this happening… and in the end, they couldn’t help but exchange smiles. “With how adorable she is, it’s no wonder he pampers her so much…” “Indeed… They both share their hardships, and that’s not exactly common in today’s world… Good for them.” “…You think so?” muttered Zayne who finally realized that with how preoccupied he had been with Zivon and Xavia in the past half-year, he hadn’t actually spent all that much time with Dolly… Actually, come to think of it, hadn’t Dolly changed quite a bit? She used to send food to him daily, and she frequen
Her weak legs gave away and she ended up toppling forward! Thankfully, he managed to catch her in time, and after catching her breath, the awkward woman sheepishly muttered, “…I guess I really do need to rest my legs up more, huh…?” Smiling in response, Zivon then replied, “You know, if you really wanted to see me that much, then you could’ve just told Jenna to call me over…” …There he was pampering her again… Unable to hold back a grin, Xavia said, “…I just wanted to give you a surprise, you know? Speaking of, what do you think of my clothes? Aren’t they refreshing?” Brushing her hair to the side, Zivon replied, “Indeed, though… You’re always prettiest when you don’t have anything on…” …Was this sick man seriously still saying such things?! Everyone in the room found themselves speechless… until eventually, Zayne cleared his throat before saying, “…Could you spare us the lovey-dovey-ness, Zivon…? She just woke up, you know…?” “I mean, you’re free to do it with your own w
Either way, Xavia made sure to stick by Zivon’s side throughout his rehabilitation period, and both she and her man found their gloominess quickly melting away… However, as time went on, she couldn’t help but notice some rather… odd things. For one, why were the Frankstons living in Zivon’s villa? What’s more, none of her family members seemed to be working… What was up with that? When she finally took the chance to ask, she was startled by what she heard! To think that Thomas’s fiasco, alongside the fact that Jenna was still alive, forced her family to resign from their positions… Naturally, Jenna still felt guilty about that, and after shedding a few tears, she was prompted to mutter, “…I’m sorry for bringing so much trouble to the family…” Shaking her head, Xavia replied, “Hey, you can’t just shoulder all the blame… Had I not been comatose, Von wouldn’t have brought you to that event, and Thomas would’ve never had that chance to call us out like that… So if anyone’s to be bl
...So that was why she had been out for so long? Aside from being surprised, Zivon simultaneously felt touched by her words. After all, that meant that even though she had another chance to be with someone else, she had remained true to him… Gazing lovingly at her, Zivon eventually asked, “…Care to share the details…? Specifically, on how much the other me desired you…” Gulping slightly, Xavia replied, “Well… It’ll be weird if I just start there, so I’ll fill in some blanks first… Let’s see… At the start, I avoided you as I said earlier, and once I had the chance, I immediately did my best to meet up with Ian so that I could prove to him who I was. Once I got past that, I began doing everything I could to prevent any future dangers from entering your life… and with that done, I decided to settle the rest of my life with Yulia…” “Alas, you were as sharp as always, and you eventually managed to trace everything back to me… Naturally, I remembered you as the man you were before, and
