Upon hearing that, Xavia went silent. It wasn’t like she had wanted to let Mark know, but he had been with Matthew on the night that she learned about the poison… That aside, Zivon was clearly the most important person in her life!
It took her a while, but she eventually muttered, “…I… Just didn’t want you to suffer-”
“So what if I suffer? I’m your husband, and I have the right to know, especially since this is regarding your life… Anyway, you don’t have to worry anymore. I won’t let you die…!”
His declaration came from the heart, and Xavia couldn’t help but feel the corners of her eyes water… She had initially assumed that he would break down after learning about her dire situation… Yet here he was, motivating her to survive and promising that he would fix things…!
Then again, this mature, intelligent, and charming man had always had the world in his grasp… It was really no wonder why women were starting to appreciate older men more…
Her train of thought was cut short when one of the doctors reported, “Young Master Burton, Sir Ian… We’ve managed to stabilize her body for the time being, and she’ll remain safe for the next twenty-four hours…”
Though that wasn’t really all that much time, it still meant that the situation could be turned around. With that in mind, both Ian and Zivon were quick to exclaim, “Good! Keep trying to develop the medicine and always make sure that someone is watching over her! If you need anything, just tell us!”
