Xavia was fast asleep in the hospital bed. Her brows were knitted and she had a pained expression on her face.
“It hurts…Don’t…” Her whimper echoed throughout the ward.
Was she having a nightmare?
Zivon took long strides towards her. “Xavia? Wake up.”
Xavia was having a nightmare. In it, a man was pinning her down strongly… It was that night four years ago. She was completely powerless to resist and could not break free from his grasp at all.
Suddenly, someone called out to her. She opened her eyes and saw the person from her nightmare!
Surprised and frightened, she instinctively raised her hand and slapped him across his face.
Slap! The crisp sound rang out clearly, and the room instantly fell into a tense silence.
Maison was stunned, his mouth gaping and his eyes wide.
Oh my god! Aunt actually hit Daddy! Did Aunt know that his high and mighty daddy had never been hit by anyone before?!
Zivon obviously did not anticipate this situation either and he was also stunned for a few seconds. His lip curled and he stared at Xavia condescendingly. “Reason.”
It was a very simple word, and his compelling voice was so oppressive that it could suffocate a person!
Xavia panicked and when she looked around, she suddenly realized that this was reality and not a dream.
It was over… she had hit Zivon!
“Well…If I said that I was not awake yet and mistook you for the wrong person, will you believe me?”
Mistook him for the wrong person? He could clearly see that when she woke up and saw him, she looked even more afraid. She had slapped him with the full knowledge that it was him and not someone else.
Xavia felt as if his sharp eyes could see right through her soul, and guilt creeped into her.
“Ahh! It hurts so much.” She suddenly cried out.
Xavia became even more petrified. Faced with Zivon’s intense gaze, she felt that Matthew, who was supposed to be her lifesaver, had only added fuel to the fire instead! It would have been better if he did not come here at all!
She brazenly denied, “Dr. Rudner, you must have misunderstood, I’ve never given birth to a child before. Oh, are you asking because the people outside think I am Jenna?”
Matthew looked at the dumbfounded look on Xavia’s face and heaved a sigh of relief.
He was originally planning to ask the doctor about it but he thought that it would only arouse her suspicions if he did, since Jenna giving birth was a matter that was known to the whole country. Thus, he had come to Xavia to ask her about it privately.
Her answer verified his previous assumption that it was all just a misunderstanding. This was fortunate… Otherwise, how would he explain such a thing to that person?
“Hmm. If you have never given birth before, then the dysmenorrhea must be a result of your own body physique. I will ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you to strengthen your body and help you to recuperate. Additionally, you do not have any other illnesses. It’s just that… there is an unexpected condition in your body. Can you feel it?”
Unexpected condition?
“What unexpected condition?”
