Despite the children’s cheers, she eventually managed to run back to the car… but even then, she was more than a little out of it. That man’s kisses were truly something else…! Her train of thought was finally cut short when she heard the kids say, “…Mommy, you’re going to get mistaken for a tomato if you remain that red…”
Quickly shaking her head, she took a deep breath before turning to look at the driver and saying, “U-um… C-could you send us to the hospital, sir? I’d like to meet up with Von’s mother for a short while…”
“…About that… You’ve already stayed at Young Master Burton’s place for over two hours… If you still wish to go, I’ll have to ask Sir Ian about this first…”
After Xavia nodded, the driver gave Ian a call… and once Ian was updated on the situation, he was quick to tell the driver to pass the phone to Xavia.
“Xavia, I know you’re a kind woman, but have you forgotten what Hershel did to you? You can’t afford to continue doing such things…”
She could sense his frustration through his tone alone, and after a while, Xavia replied, “…You misunderstand, Ian. I’m still pissed at Hershel, but the fact remains that Von’s mother is innocent. She’s treated the kids and I extremely kindly, so it’s only right for us to visit her. Just give us twenty minutes, please…?”
Since she had put it that way, all Ian could do was sigh before muttering, “…Alright, let me arrange things for you…”
When Xavia finally arrived, she quickly realized that neither Hershel nor Whitney were present… In fact, the only people in the ward were Wendy, who was lying peacefully in her bed, and a young nurse… So this was what Ian meant by ‘arranging things’…?
Following a subtle sigh, she walked over to Wendy’s side before saying, “…Sorry for taking so long to visit, Madam… Are you feeling any better…?”
