“Don’t waste your time, Young Master Burton… Our lady has already declined meeting you, and she won’t be changing her mind anytime soon…” Naturally, Zivon’s gaze instantly fell upon hearing that… But though the maids then politely gestured for him to leave, he simply began walking straight toward the manor! Frightened by his actions, the anxious maids quickly ran after him while saying, “Y-Young Master Burton, please…! You’re making things difficult for us!” “Indeed! Oh dear… Lady Ellen will surely be mad…!” “W-we’re sorry, Lady Ellen! We did our best to stop him…!” It didn’t take long for Zivon to come across the woman who was dressed fully in white… and after putting her coffee down, she gestured for her maids to leave. Gulping slightly, the maids quickly bowed before leaving the room… and now that they were alone, Zivon immediately said, “Apologies for the intrusion, Miss Ellen, but please understand that I’m here to save my wife. With that said, we can either do things
On that same day, Zivon flew back to Aplos… and the second they touched down, Ellen wasn’t even given a second to rest before she was dragged over to meet Xavia… Looking at all the hopeful gazes from the Frankstons and Xavia’s friends, Ellen couldn’t help but purse her lips. Was she seriously going to do this for the sake of that man who had threatened to kill her just earlier that day? Turning to look at Zivon, she was surprised to see him holding Xavia’s hand extremely gently. Come to think of it, his wife had been the only thing on his mind this entire time, and his attitude toward others had been far different… Maybe… he was worth her attention after all? It took her a while, but she eventually made up her mind to help these two reunite. With that, she began her treatment… Fast forward to half an hour later, Ellen finally appeared before the family again… and though they kept asking her how things had gone, she found herself unable to reply. “…Just tell us the truth,” sai
Basically, he found out that Xavia would always have a reaction whenever he kissed her… And if she was still able to react to his kisses, then that meant that she was getting closer to snapping out of it! After testing it a few times, he eventually pursed his lips before asking, “…Xav? You felt that didn’t you…? It’s me, Von… Please respond…” Hugging her even tighter, he couldn’t help but kiss her deeper. After all, not only did he want her to respond more to him, but he had to admit that his body yearned for her more than ever… …No. She was unconscious, and doing this wasn’t proper! After shaking his head, he took a deep breath before saying, “…No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you to wake up… And once you do, you can be sure that I’ll continue giving you my all…” With that said, he then gave her one final kiss before getting up to leave… It was about half an hour later when he headed over to Ellen’s room… Naturally, Ellen was slightly upset to be woken up in the de
Following that, the angered man walked off in a huff, leaving Ellen stunned… Why the hell was he acting like he was the victim in this situation? Sure, she believed that he truly loved Xavia, but… a man like him still had his needs, and she was unwilling to believe that he was virtuous enough to not consider sleeping with other women just to relieve himself… Moving back to Zivon, he couldn’t help but hug Xavia tightly while muttering, “She actually thought that I was seducing her… What an utter joke! Are you hearing this, Honey…? Are you really fine with me continuing to live with that narcissistic woman for much longer? If you aren’t, then please wake up already…” It was shortly after he said that when Xavia awoke all sticky and sweaty… and when she realized just how wet she was, she immediately recalled that erotic dream that she had of him! See, even though she had been together with Zivon in this new world, she hadn’t actually slept with him or officiated their relationship
In the following months, Zivon continued to take care of her, talk to her, and even begin learning advanced hypnosis… and though his actions were touching, the Frankstons and her friends slowly began losing hope by the time six more months had passed… “…Zivon, I know you don’t want to hear this, but… Maybe it’s time to let go…” “Indeed… We know how much you love her, but at this rate… You’re suffering much more than you need to…” Even Ian couldn’t help but say, “…Just leave her care to the nurses and let Miss Ellen go back already… This has dragged on for long enough.” Upon hearing that, Ellen sighed and added, “…I’ll admit that your dedication has me awed, Young Master Burton, but… Some things simply aren’t meant to be. Let her go…” Squinting slightly, Zivon replied, “…I vowed that only death would do me and my wife apart during our wedding… and until that happens, I’m going to continue trying my best.” …This man… He really was the real deal, huh? Following that convers
...Whether Ellen had fallen for Zivon after being around him for so long. If that was the case, then disaster would surely strike again when Xavia woke up… Ellen had an idea of what Jenna was thinking, so she was quick to say, “Not to worry, I’d never fall for such a brute of a man. You, on the other hand… I hope you don’t take this opportunity to try anything funny.” Pursing her lips when she heard that, Jenna replied, “I know my place, and you know how much I care about my sister now. Regardless, good to know that you aren’t yearning for her man… After all, almost everyone who’s had their eyes on him has ended up tragically…” With that said, she turned to leave… and once Ellen was alone again, she couldn’t help but lower her gaze. There was no way that she’d fall for Zivon… Right? Either way, once Jenna was together with the two unconscious lovers, she couldn’t help but sigh and hold Xavia’s hand while muttering, “Hey… It’s Jenna… Wake up already, won’t you…? You’re starting
...What? Weren’t the kids already dead? Was he trying to reunite with them in heaven?! That thought alone was enough to make her try to stop Zivon… but with how much trouble she was already in, all she could do was watch helplessly as that bleeding man swam off… It was shortly after when Zivon passed out from blood loss… But it didn’t take long for him to feel someone drag him out of the water. All according to plan! Following that, he allowed himself to be dragged up to shore… and eventually, he heard a familiar voice frantically calling out to him. It was then that he finally decided to open his eyes… and from the bed he was now on, he was able to see the tanned woman with shoulder-length hair crying out for him. Sure, she looked way different now, but this woman was undeniably Fiona…! “…I knew you were still alive.” Startled to hear that, Fiona replied, “…You… You still recognize me…?” Though Fiona was touched, her hopes were quickly crushed when she heard Zivon scoff,
“T-that’s impossible…! You’re lying…! I-I’m sure you’ll faint soon because of the drug-” “Have you forgotten that I’m an actual doctor…?! It’s been ages since I’ve created the antidote to your drug! It’s useless against me! Oh, and thanks for being theatrical by giving me time to react while the car was pummelling toward the river! Only you would dare to do such a thing to me, and thanks to that, I was able to take the antidote in time! Congratulations! You’ve played yourself!” “No…! No…!” howled the desperate Fiona who simply couldn’t believe that her painstaking plan had been cracked so easily! Sneering in response, Zivon then said, “Really though, did you really think that I’d just leave my car so easily detectable? After everything that you’ve done, no less? It had all been a plan to lure you out! There had already been a high chance that the kids were still alive because we were unable to find their corpses, and I just wanted to hear the answer straight from your mouth! Rega
