Naturally, all this came as a shock to Nathan. It took him a while, but he eventually replied, “…I believe you, though… How would you explain the image of Mark hugging you in front of the mall? For context, Young Master Burton received some images of you and Mark entering a car together a few days prior, and… Well, you already know how much he hates you two being so close together…”
…What? To think that he had been that suspicious of her for a while now! Clenching her fists, Xavia replied, “That day, Mark was feeling faint, which is why I helped him into that vehicle… It’s not like I wanted to be that close to him… Also, I’m pretty sure that he knows that Mark was on the same helicopter that I was on our way to S City, so I’ll explain that too.”
“Basically, we were both told about Stefan’s terrible condition, and on my way to the helicopter, I bumped into him, which was why I suggested that we go together… I think I remember Von saying that I didn’t reply any of his messages too, but that’s because I lost my phone shortly after arriving at the hospital!”
“Anyway, upon learning that my blood could stabilize Stefan’s condition, I immediately donated some blood to him, which led to me getting fatigued… If you’ve seen images of me and him in a ward, that’s only because I was too exhausted to bother about such things… I swear to God that I no longer have feelings for Mark, and if this is a lie, I’ll be struck by divine lightning right now!”
Her unwavering words made it evident that she was telling the truth, and after a smile, he was quick to reply, “…I knew that you’d never betray him…! That aside… To think that you had gone through so much during your few days of absence… It must have been difficult for you… Anyway, I’ve already recorded everything, so things should return to normal after I let him listen to it!”
Eyes widening when she heard that, Xavia then said, “You… recorded our conversation?”
Chuckling in response, Nathan replied, “If you couldn’t explain yourself, then I would’ve used the recording to help him move on… But since you clearly haven’t cheated on him, I can now use it to prove your innocence!”
