With how badly his body was quivering, it was difficult for Zivon to even stand straight! Realizing how serious it was, Xavia couldn’t help but tense up.
Fortunately, Nathan had been notified of the situation, and he soon rushed over to help Xavia support Zivon up. Following that, he was prompted to say, “The car’s ready, young master. Let us make haste, Miss Lockhart.”
Once Xavia replied with a nod, both of them helped Zivon into the car, not even giving the sickly man a chance to protest.
While they were in the car, the pale Zivon—who had his brows knitted tightly—kept sweating bullets, prompting Xavia to get a tissue to help wipe some off. However, he simply turned to look away before saying, “Get that away from me…”
Was he seriously still being this stubborn at this point in time? What on earth had she done to offend him? Not wanting to just keep quiet about this, Xavia then retorted, “What on earth is wrong with you? Not only have I not done anything to you, but I’m even sincerely caring for you! With that in mind, why are you still being this cold to me? Are you really human?”
Since her voice was rather loud, Nathan instantly paled as he said, “M-Miss Lockhart! Nobody’s ever dared to speak that way to Young Master Burton! Also, since he’s this sick, couldn’t you be a little gentler to him…?”
Whatever the case was, Zivon simply ignored Zavia, choosing to close his eyes instead as he held onto his aching abdomen. The way he pursed his lips so tightly was enough to reveal just how much pain he was currently in…
As for Xavia, all she could do was exhale in anger. The thought of not even getting a response was both irritating and depressing! Come to think of it, why was she even holding a grudge against a patient? If he really didn’t want her to take care of him, she may as well just do exactly that!
With that in mind, Xavia then turned to look out the window, not wanting to look at his pained face. Due to that, the rest of the awkwardly silent car ride felt almost suffocating…
Thankfully, Nathan was able to get them to the hospital in no time. The second he parked in the underground parking lot, Fiona and Zayne could immediately be seen running over.
“Are you having stomach issues again, Zivon?”
“You’re sweating so much, Brother Zivon! Here, let me wipe it off you!”
The… inflammation of his stomach and intestines… Did… all this start because of those salty and spicy noodles?!
Xavia’s fears were quickly verified when Nathan added, “…Honestly, Young Master Burton has constantly been throwing up after eating the noodles that you made… What more, his appetite plummeted as well… I never imagined that it was going to become this serious…”
…So it really was her fault… Back then, she remembered showing her displeasure by adding all sorts of spices and seasoning… How could she have known that it would cause this much trouble?! Unsure what to even think, Xavia then said, “…I see… Well… I apologize for that… Regardless, he should be fine in the end, right…?”
“Well, since Dr. Xenos, Dr. Squire, and several other specialists are present, things should turn out fine… Also, it’s fine even if you don’t feel sorry but… try not to do something like this again…” muttered Nathan.
Though Nathan’s intention was to comfort her, Xavia couldn’t help but feel like he was blaming her for all this… With her heart feeling extremely heavy now, Xavia then said, “…Alright, stay here and accompany Young Master Burton… I’ll be heading back first to make some porridge. I’ll be back soon.”
After nodding in response, Nathan suddenly thought of something…
