“How could you say that? She clearly-”
“She did everything to provoke Young Master Burton for his sake.”
“What?!”
“Mrs. Burton did everything to make Young Master Burton hate her so that he would be determined to get back on his feet again. She never betrayed Young Master Burton, and she even took the blame for him.”
Rhea was stunned, and her face turned pale. 'I-impossible! Which woman would be so stupid and do such a foolish thing like this? If this were true, I won't have the chance to get closer to Professor while he's depressed... No! This can't be true!'
…
In the ward, this night was more intense than ever.
The feeling of regaining something after it was lost. The soothing feeling after enduring pain. The sweet reunion after a separation...
And their deep love for each other.
All these feelings merged and turned into an unquenchable frenzy as they tumbled through the sheets, sweating profusely as the night swept by.
Xavia was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. When her phone rang the following day, she lifted her head groggily and answered.
“Mrs. Burton, when are you coming back? We've run out of breast milk to feed the babies. Should we give them formula milk for now?"
The babies!
Xavia realized that she had not gone back for the entire night and immediately said, “I’ll be home soon.”
She moved to leave, but a strong arm pulled her back, and she was met with a beautiful face. His thin red lips, delicate curves, and deep charming eyes were stunning! Her heart skipped a beat as she slowly traced the man's features with her eyes.
Zivon, however, could not let go of her.

“I’ll ask them to bring the babies here. You can't go anywhere," he said instead.
“But…”
“No buts,” Zivon firmly said and took her phone. “From now on, don't answer his phone calls. Don't see him, and don't get involved with him again. If you stay by my side, I'll forgive you and forget about everything.”
Xavia was speechless. Despite her so-called betrayal, he was so generous and forgiving. She never knew he could be like this. His love for her was deeper than she could ever imagine!
However, she knew that he was still afraid she would leave, which was why he said all those things. She couldn't help but smile and pinch his face as she said, “Thank you, Young Master Burton, for your generosity and for not taking into account the past. But I want you to know that Mark and I…”
