When she finally got closer, Zivon found his eyes widening. It was Xavia.
“…Why are you here?”
Gently lifting the sheets, she then gave his numb legs a good look before grumbling, “…I’m here to see the fool who was stupid enough to go along with what my brother said!”
“…How did you find out?”
“Does that even matter? How could you keep this from me? Can you imagine how guilty I would’ve felt if I found out about this later? I’ve never seen you bullied like this for as long as I’ve been with you, and it doesn’t help that you willingly did all this! Even if you don’t care about yourself, why didn’t you consider how this would make me and the kids feel?! If you get crippled, how are we expected to respond…?!”
Watching as tears began rolling down her cheeks, Zivon flinched a little before replying, “…The situation isn’t as terrible as you think it is-”
“You’ve been bedridden since this morning for heaven’s sake! If that isn’t serious, it makes me wonder how you’ll describe your condition once you’re actually fully paralyzed…! You’re an idiot, Zivon…! I hate you so much…!”
Unable to stand her tears, Zivon sighed before muttering, “…Fine, it’s all my fault, alright…? I won’t do such things again, so could you please stop crying…? Hmm…?”
Sniffling a little, Xavia wiped her tears away before saying, “…Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make him apologize…”
…Zivon really couldn’t care less about an apology from Ian… As long as it settled Ian’s grudge, that was enough for him… Shaking his head, Zivon replied, “…Don’t worry about it. My father treated you terribly, and I can understand why he’s so angry with me. He loves you dearly, so please don’t try to pick a fight with him over me…”
