She quickly realized that the house was empty. What’s more, Zivon hadn’t left any notes behind. Feeling increasingly worried after all those kidnapping cases she had experienced, she was quick to give Zivon a call… and thankfully, it wasn’t long before he picked up.
“Hello?”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Xavia replied, “Thank God… Um… Where are you and the kids…?”
“I was told that my old man got ill, so we’re all at the Burton Manor right now. Are you already home? If so, go take a bath and get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”
Though Xavia was relieved to hear that, she couldn’t help but ask, “I see… How is he looking? And why didn’t you tell me about this…? I could’ve come over as well-”
“No. You are not to visit the Burtons. Just so you know, had it not been for his poor health, I wouldn’t have brought the kids over in the first place.”
…That was right… he still hated them, especially after his mother’s death… He probably didn’t want her or the kids to be exposed to such a negative environment either…
Understanding that, she pursed her lips as she replied, “…Got it. Stay safe, alright?”
