Xavia waited for Zivon to leave before she whispered to her grandmother, “Grandma, that guy is Yulia’s father. He is my boyfriend. Grandma, you have to make it through the surgery tomorrow… You need to let me know if he meets your standards.”
“By the way, Grandma, I forgot to tell you that I gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins. They are super adorable and my son is a very gifted child.”
Even though the old lady never responded, Xavia still said a lot of things to her that night. It was almost like she was telling the old lady everything that she had not been able to tell her for the past few years.
After Xavia was done speaking, she held her grandmother’s hand and fell asleep.
Late at night.
Creak…
A nurse gently pushed the door open and entered the room. She glanced at Xavia who was sleeping, draped a thin blanket over her, and then checked on the old lady. After that, she hastily injected a liquid into the old lady’s IV bag, then pushed the medicine cart out and left.
In less than thirty minutes.
Beep! Beep! Beep! The heart monitor started beeping loudly.
Xavia woke up with a jolt and saw her grandmother gasping for air. Her face was pale and the heart monitor results were fluctuating.
Xavia panicked. “Grandma! Doctor! Doctor!”
A doctor rushed into the room. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. Grandma suddenly started gasping for air and her heart is beating very quickly. Please check on her!”
“Xavia Lockhart.” Jenna suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear, “Aren’t you pregnant? Do you really think that Zivon will accept you? That the Burton family will accept you? Do you think Keith Burton will let you go? Keith only needs to declare that you are pregnant and he will be able to turn everything upside down.”
Xavia shuddered. Jenna also knew! “You…What are you going to do?”
Jenna laughed. “My dear sister, you’re thinking too much. I just wanted to tell you that it’s impossible for you to be with Young Master Burton since you are pregnant. You’re betting on your grandmother’s life for the sake of an uncertain love, so don’t blame me for not saving her life in the future. My flight is at four o’clock in the morning, so I’ll leave now. Goodbye.”
After she was done speaking, Jenna strode out arrogantly.
Xavia stood there, shocked and speechless. She had overlooked something…
Something very, very important.
