Unbeknownst to Xavia, Ian and several doctors entered the ward just as she had tossed the pillow at Zivon!
“…Um… What’s going on here…?” asked one of the confused doctors.
“I’d like to know as well,” added Ian.
Upon realizing that they had seen what she had done, Xavia couldn’t help but awkwardly avert her gaze. Sure, she was mad at Zivon, but she didn’t want the entire world to know that she was mad at him… What would become of Zivon’s reputation?
Zivon himself honestly couldn’t care any less, and he simply glared at those who had just entered, prompting them to awkwardly avert their gazes as well. What had they gotten themselves into?!
Eventually, Xavia attempted to break the silence by saying, “U-um… We… were just playing a game! Yeah!”
…Not even a child would be fooled by that lie! Even Zivon had to fight the urge to face palm. Couldn’t she have come up with a better excuse…?
Following a subtle sigh, Zivon then asked, “…Anyway, are all of you here to check on Xav?”
Happy to move on from that awkward topic, one of the doctors was quick to reply, “T-that’s right! We’re here to assess her physical condition so that we can decide whether to continue with the blood transfusion. The assessment will also tell us how much more blood is required.”
“Got it. Carry on, then,” said Zivon as he got up to make room for the doctors.
Though the doctors all thought that they had dodged a bullet, they eventually realized that that had only been the appetizer!
