Before Zivon could even reply, Whitney had already slammed the door behind her…
Pissed by her arrogance, Nathan clenched his fist and growled, “She’s really pushing it, Young Master Burton…!”
Zivon knew that, of course… However, he also knew that it was his own decision to cooperate with her. With that in mind, he wasn’t in any position to change her terms… Just as the frustrated man was rubbing his forehead, his message notification tone rang… It was Ian.
‘Xavia’s fine, and she should wake up in about two hours.’
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zivon realized that he didn’t regret his decision too much. After all, though he had sacrificed a lot, she was alive, and that was all that mattered… In fact, he didn’t even feel like visiting her after this… After all, she already knew that he was going to divorce her, and he didn’t need to add to her suffering…
Moving back to the ward, the doctors had honestly not expected Xavia to take so long to wake up again. After all, fainting from shock wasn’t uncommon, and the patients would usually wake up after short periods of time. The fact that she was taking her time was a clear sign that her brain was unwilling to accept some harsh reality…
Regardless, when Xavia finally awoke, only Lana and one of the doctors were still in the room. Noticing that Xavia was up, Lana was quick to say, “You’re finally awake, Miss Frankston! Hold on, I’ll call Sir Ian over. He just went off for a bit to get a quick meal.”
Groaning slightly as she sat up, she wondered where she was… and all of a sudden, his words repeated in her mind. He… He had asked for a divorce… And to make matters worse, he said he was marrying Whitney…?!
It took her a while, but the sorrowful woman eventually muttered, “…Um… It’s alright, Dr. Presley… I think I’ll go for a short walk… I need some time alone…”
