...As if! Also, two hours? Knowing him, that was complete bullshit!
True enough, he easily went past the two-hour mark… Thankfully, he was more considerate this time, and he stopped much earlier compared to the night before… Alas, it still meant that she didn’t get enough sleep, and it was only noon the next day when she finally woke up again!
To her pleasant surprise, however, she quickly realized that Zivon was still in bed right next to her, though instead of sleeping, he had been reading through documents while waiting for her to wake up. Regardless, when he saw that she was up, he kissed her forehead before wishing her good morning.
Feeling her heart melt, the pleased woman couldn’t help but chuckle. After all, even though she had only been mad at him because of a misunderstanding yesterday, he had chosen to keep his promise… It just showed how much she loved her. Since that was the case, she wouldn’t fuss over his actions last night either…
Anyway, it was later in the day when both of them headed to the Burton manor to serve the elders some tea… and once they were done, they headed to the palace. As planned, Xavia took that chance to have her secret check-up as well… Alas, the results were far from pleasant.
“…So… The poison is spreading rapidly in your veins, and as much as I hate to say it, you’ll need to do a treatment surgery every day just to suppress it… Otherwise, you may not be able to survive for much longer… And I suggest that you mentally prepare yourself for that. Anyway, that’s the short-term plan. We have two other plans for the long-term…”
…So she could die at any given moment? Now feeling extremely irked, Ian growled, “…What do you mean by that? And what are the two plans…?!”
Xavia herself had gone deathly pale, and after clenching her fists, she was prompted to ask, “…Didn’t you say that I had a chance at recovery…?”
Gulping slightly, Lana replied, “…I… I’m sorry, but it’s just… the poison’s spread doubled in speed in just a single day… Even I couldn’t have expected this outcome…”
