Xavia was extremely firm when she said that things were no longer possible between them, and this made Zivon feel as though his heart had just been gored out…
Glaring at her, Zivon then growled, “…What do you mean I don’t care…?! If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have allowed her to drug me, and I wouldn’t have hurt myself in the process…!”
Zivon, for one, never really showed people his wounds, but this time… This time, it was different.
Though Xavia had thought that Zivon was simply bluffing when he said that, she found herself going pale after he removed his suit and shirt… revealing a shocking number of wounds on his chest!
“W-what happened…? How did you sustain so many injuries…?!” exclaimed the shocked Xavia.
“The one on my thigh is even more serious. Should I show that to you as well?” asked Zivon, prompting Xavia to gulp. Come to think of it, he did grunt in pain when she sat on his thigh last night…
Regardless, though Xavia knew that she was supposed to be ignoring him, the fact that he was so severely injured made her heart ache… and in the end, she was prompted to reply, “…There’s no need for that… That aside, how did you get all these injuries? What drug did Jenna use on you…?”
By this point, the heartbroken woman already had tears running down her face, and this made Zivon feel slightly better. After all, she wouldn’t be feeling this down if she didn’t care about him at all…
Shaking the thought off, Zivon then explained, “Long story short, she told me that she’d only divorce me if I didn’t copulate with her while under the influence of hallucinogens… Since she pretended to be you throughout that night, I almost lost control a few times…”
…So… he had only hurt himself to remain sober…?! And he had only touched Jenna because of those drugs and because Jenna pretended to be her?! Xavia would’ve never imagined that such events took place…!
Chuckling wryly, Zivon then replied in a rather helpless tone, “Remember when you said you wanted to break up…? And then went missing in your rage…? That was unbearable… Even though I’ve managed to calm you down now… I somehow feel like crying more than ever …”
Upon hearing that, Xavia recalled how she had tormented him throughout that night… and it made her feel rather guilty. In the end, she was prompted to say, “…I’m truly sorry… though you should’ve made yourself a bit clearer back then…”
Darkening his gaze, Zivon soon replied, “…You should know that I value relationships more than you ever could… Though I didn’t actually copulate with her, I still ended up touching her, which is why I couldn’t deny it at the time.”
“But those two actions are completely different…! The important thing is that you didn’t do it with her…!” declared Xavia in a slightly anxious tone.
“Either way… I take it that you’re not mad at me anymore…?” asked Zivon in a slightly expectant tone…
