Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1823

“I know how much you dislike your father, and I also know that he’s done a lot of upsetting things, but… At the end of the day, he’s still your father, the man who raised you… and now that man is ill… Look, I… Everything he’s done has either been for your sake, or the family’s… Think about it, has he ever tried to harm you…? Just… Please forgive him… Please…?”

…Was she seriously groveling for that bastard’s sake? Gently pulling her up, Zivon replied, “…Have you already forgotten how he treated you back then? Does he really deserve forgiveness?”

Smiling wryly, Wendy muttered, “…I don’t really care anymore… I’m already this old, and the last thing I want to see is you two continuing to bicker while I’m on my deathbed… Look, I… I won’t force you to return to the Burtons… You’ll be living elsewhere with Xavia anyway once you two get married… Just remember to visit me during the holidays…”

“You don’t have to worry about the wedding either… Since Xavia is the president’s daughter, I’m sure I’ll somehow be able to convince your father to not be opposed to your wedding anymore… Following that, I’ll just continue living happily ever after with him… Won’t that be nice…?”

By this point, Zivon could already feel a headache coming. Things weren’t as simple as his mother thought, especially since his father had attempted to have Xavia killed! Even so, he couldn’t tell her the truth for fear that it would only stress her out more… With that in mind, he sternly replied, “…I’ll deal with this on my own, but I’ll try not to pressure him. Now go get some rest.”

Not wanting him to get mad, Wendy helplessly nodded and glanced one final time at the surgery room before returning to her ward…

Once she was gone, Zivon found himself rubbing his forehead in frustration. Women from her generation really did put men first, huh… Even so, how could she just forgive Hershel after all that he had done? Blast that old man for giving his soft-hearted mother hope…! His train of thought was cut short when the surgery room’s doors swung open…

Shortly after, a doctor walked out and respectfully said, “Ah, there you are, Young Master Burton. Cutting to the chase, the old master had an emotional outburst, which ultimately led to his blood pressure rising too quickly. Don’t worry, things should be fine once his blood pressure goes down.”

“I see. Is he awake?”
