“Cease this at once!” roared an extremely domineering voice at that moment, causing all Xavia’s assailants to freeze in fear. Slowly turning around, all they could do was stare wide-eyed for a moment when they saw the godlike man standing before them…
Eventually, one of the nurses whimpered, “Y-Young Master Burton… we’re only doing this because we won’t stand for animal cruelty….”
“Y-yeah…! She-”
“Get. Lost,” growled Zivon as he glared at the pitiful Xavia, an icy aura surrounding him the entire time.
Instantly going pale in fear, the nurses didn’t dare to say another word and quickly fled the scene!
Now that she was no longer being attacked, Xavia couldn’t help but look at the angelic man. She, for one, hadn’t expected him to save her, and she was unable to stop her heart from fluttering at that moment. Sadly, she knew that she wasn’t his anymore, and she couldn’t run into his arms…
Understanding that, Xavia quickly suppressed her emotions before lowering her head as she said in a polite tone, “…Thank you, Young Master Burton…”
She was speaking to him like he was a complete stranger, and this made Zivon’s glare turn even more wintry than before. It took him a while, but he eventually said, “…Come to the trauma department with me.”
“I-”
“I wasn’t asking. Refuse and I’ll finish you here and now,” growled Zivon in a dangerous tone, instantly stunning Xavia.
…Finish her…? Not even wanting to think about it, Xavia knew that she had no choice but to follow him…
Shortly after, the two found themselves before the doctor on duty… and when she saw Xavia, she was really tempted to say that Xavia got what she deserved! However, since Zivon was there, she refrained from saying anything, and quickly began attending to Xavia’s wounds…
Since the doctor was still displeased with Xavia, she made sure to tend to the wounds as roughly as possible, causing Xavia’s already painful wounds to hurt even more!
The following ten minutes consisted only of dead, pressuring silence… and the second her wounds were all treated, Xavia immediately stood up before saying, “Thank you, I-”
Before she could even take a step forward, Zivon had already pressed her against the doctor’s table, glaring frigidly into her eyes as he held her by the chin and replied, “You may have agreed to Jenna’s terms, but I haven’t. I’ll give you one chance to take back all that you said last night.”
Watching as Zivon’s face came even closer to hers, Xavia couldn’t help but tremble. He… was giving her another chance…? How forgiving was this gentleman…?!
Sadly, Zivon was completely unaware that aside from Jenna and her grandmother, there was something else standing between them…! That alone reminded Xavia that they could never ever be a thing again…!
With her mind made up, she calmed herself… before replying in a determined voice, “…Zivon Burton… Just… forget about me…”
The fact that she was calling him by his full name was a sign that she was serious, and Zivon knew it. This woman…! He had given her another d*mned chance…! Was she simply intent on abusing his patience…?!
