Sighing in response, Angus then said, “…Though we seers can predict a person’s overall fate, we can’t actually reveal Heaven’s will…”
After stroking his beard one final time, Angus then left, leaving Xavia looking rather depressed… The fact that she knew that she’d eventually be in danger… It felt like Angus had just strapped a timebomb onto her body… How nerve-wracking…!
Mark himself was prompted to say, “…Sorry for that… I was hoping to resolve your negative thoughts, but I never expected that…”
Noticing how worried he was for her sake, Xavia forced a smile as she replied, “…It’s fine. Remember, Grandpa Angus called me a lucky star, so I’m sure nothing too terrible will happen. I’ve already made it this far anyway, so nothing will be able to stop me! I’m sure of it! Also… I really appreciate all this.”
“You know, I’ve been feeling utterly terrible in the past few days, wondering if I’d continue hurting those around me over and over again… However, after hearing what Grandpa Angus had to say, I now feel that Grandma and Mrs. Harrison would’ve surely perished earlier had it not been for my presence… I guess I really am a lucky star, huh… Thank you for believing in me all this time, Mark…!”
Watching as Xavia hugged him tightly—seemingly feeling a little better after saying all that—, Mark couldn’t help but smile subtly as he said, “…I’d do anything to keep you happy… That aside, no more calling yourself a bringer of misfortune, alright…? At the very least, know that you’ll always be my good luck charm…”
Nodding in response, Xavia couldn’t help but feel utterly touched… After having that thorn in her heart for so long, Mark had somehow managed to free her from all that pain… For the first time in forever, she felt like she had control over her life again… Alas, she was so happy that she failed to notice the man watching her from behind a Maybach’s window…!
The man himself had an icy glare that could probably kill if she was any closer to him…! It took him a while, but he eventually drove off…
