Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 2462

Raising a slight brow, Zivon couldn’t help but ask, “…You’re still awake? Don’t bother asking back, I just got up to get some water.”

…There had clearly been a jug of water beside his bed, so it was evident that he was lying… Figuring that he must have forced himself out of bed when he heard her crying, Xavia’s heart hurt even more as she replied, “…I… I was just having a little trouble sleeping, but I’m fine now… Just head back to bed…”

Though she had attempted to hide her face, her quivering voice gave her away, and Zivon couldn’t help but squint as he asked, “…Were you crying?”

Not wanting him to worry about her, she quickly wiped her tears away before saying, “O-of course, not…! My throat is just a little dry-”

Alas, before she could even complete her sentence, Zivon had already switched the lights on… revealing her reddened eyes! Now frowning even more than before, Zivon asked, “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you…?!”

Not wanting him to learn that she had witnessed how hard things were for him now that his legs were like this, she simply shook her head before remaining silent…

Since she wasn’t replying, Zivon eventually muttered, “…You’re crying because you think I can’t satisfy you anymore, huh? Tears of disappointment?”

…What? That couldn’t be further from the truth!

“W-why would I be thinking about such things when I’m pregnant?! Only you would prioritize that that much-”

Naturally, Xavia was startled by that sudden order, but in the end, she was unable to stop herself from doing as she was told… and when she finally felt his strong hands gently massaging her, all her worries seemed to shatter…

In place, however, came guilt. After all, despite being in his current state, he was still trying his best to care for her… Was that why he had insisted that it would be inconvenient for them to continue sticking together…? Because she would only burden him more? If so, she knew that the best course of action was to just stay at the palace from now on…

But at the same time….
