Eyes widened in horror, Xavia couldn’t help but gasp when she saw all the wounds littered across Zivon’s chest! What the hell had he gone through…?!
With how shocked she looked, Zivon couldn’t help but purse his lips before saying, “…Xav, listen to me-”
“How did you get these…? Tell me everything now…!” interrupted the trembling Xavia who seriously couldn’t believe that he’d keep all this from her.
Feeling helpless, Zivon sighed before explaining, “…I had to go to many dangerous places at the start just to get a hint as to where Fabiola could be… And one of the places was a dock. Basically, I was under the guise of a fisherman for a while, and since fishermen typically look beaten up… well, these wounds are self-inflicted. I just wanted to make them believe me…”
Thanks to that, he had been able to blend in with the others at the dock, which prevented Joseph from sensing his presence for the longest time…
Though Zivon said it so casually, Xavia’s heart still throbbed as she gently hit him while saying, “How could you be so stupid…?! Didn’t you just tell us to prioritize our health…!? Stop being such a hypocrite-”
Before she could complete her sentence, Zivon had already planted his lips on hers… and when she finally stopped struggling, he looked into her eyes before replying, “…Have you forgotten how many injuries I’ve suffered throughout the years? This is nothing to me…”
“That doesn’t mean that it’s fine for you to gain more…! I… I feel terrible just looking at them-”
