Zivon, for one, had considered this to be a tacit admission, and he couldn’t help but slam his fists against the car door once more…! This time, it was so hard that his knuckles ended up bleeding in the end…
Moving back to Xavia, she didn’t dare return to the hospital. After all, her clothes were in tatters, and if Yulia saw her in that condition, she’d definitely believe that Xavia had come across a bad person. With that in mind, Xavia ended up returning to the old house on her own.
When she arrived in the countryside, only the sounds of croaking frogs filled the night…
Upon seeing her, Dolly—who was awoken by Xavia’s return—yawned before asking, “Xavia…? What are you doing here…? Weren’t you supposed to visit Yulia at the hospital after giving Young Master Burton that lunchbox…?”
Patting Dolly on the head, Xavia—who didn’t want Dolly to see how wretched she looked—then turned her friend around before saying, “Yulia’s already fallen asleep. That aside since she’s returning tomorrow, I figured I may as well clean the place up a bit first. Regardless, go on back to sleep. I need to take a bath first.”
“Alright…” mumbled Dolly with another yawn before heading back to sleep…
Seeing that, Xavia quickly headed to the bathroom… and shortly after, icy cold water began running down her skin… Despite how cold it was, her heart felt even colder…
By this point, she didn’t even want to think about Zivon and Sophia any longer… All she wanted was to be a bit more broad-minded. But… How was she to progress from this point…? Everything that had just happened still felt like a nightmare, and she simply wasn’t able to properly process everything…
In the end, Xavia ended up getting a fever the very next day. Naturally, Yulia noticed how unwell her mother was, which was why the concerned girl couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve fallen sick right after I got better, Mommy…?”
“…It’s nothing major… The weather’s a little warm, so it’s normal to get unwell… That aside, I’m sorry, but Mommy doesn’t think we’ll be able to go home today… Mommy has to take an infusion for quite a bit…” muttered Xavia.
“Don’t worry, Mommy! You kept me company while I was sick, so it’s only fair that I do the same for you!” replied Yulia as she patted Xavia’s head. What a truly sensible and adorable girl…
After smiling at how sweet her daughter was being, Xavia couldn’t help but feel that she only had herself to blame for all her suffering. After all, wasn’t she already happy enough with her well-behaved daughter? Why did she need to torment herself with love? As Xavia remained deep in thought, she failed to notice Yulia quietly sneaking out of the ward…
