Understandably, his action frightened Yulia.
Even Maison found himself confused. Why was Daddy being so… angry?
It was only when he saw how shocked the children looked that Zivon realized how abnormally he was behaving. In the end, he knew it was impossible for him to just turn a blind eye…
With that in mind, he eventually said, “…Head to bed. I’ll go save her now…”
Back in the detention room, Xavia could be seen lying on a cold, steel bed, her entire body aching. Despite her overwhelming grief and helplessness, she wasn’t even able to shed any tears…
Her grandmother’s surgery was a success… Today should’ve been a happy event… To think that she’d end up in such a situation instead…! Her unluckiness was truly on a whole other level…
Xavia’s train of thought was cut short when the sound of the gate unlocking was heard… Followed by one of the guard’s voices saying, “Someone had come to bail you, Xavia. You may leave now.”
…She was free to go? Was it Keith? Or Stefan? Whoever it was, Xavia silently got up to leave the detention room, careful not to wake the others up…
However, she soon found herself widening her eyes when she saw the familiar Maybach right outside the center…! Why was it Zivon…?!
Looking at how stunned she was, Zivon simply scoffed, “Had it not been for the children’s constant pleading, I wouldn’t have considered coming over.”
It was clear that he was telling her not to overthink it, and she instantly got the message. She, for one, knew that when he really put his heart into it, he could be as heartless as the most ferocious predator on the planet… It certainly didn’t help that he was using an estranged tone with her, devoid of any kindness…
Dolly was understandably astonished when she saw Xavia at the hospital.
“X-Xavia?! But… how? I couldn’t contact both of them, and Young Master Burton refused to help as well…! I was truly at a loss… As for why I’m here… I figured that you wouldn’t be released that soon, so I made sure to come to the hospital to accompany Grandma… I had been busy thinking of excuses to comfort her tomorrow, you know…? Putting all that aside… Who bailed you in the end…?” asked Dolly.
Upon hearing that Zivon had initially refused to help, Xavia couldn’t help but clench her fists. As it turned out, he had already been ready to move on… Come to think of it, wasn’t that what she had hoped for…?
In the end, she was prompted to say, “…It was Maison. Either way… how’s Grandma?”
“The doctor’s said she’s stable now, so don’t worry. Also… aren’t there a lot more bruises on you now? From what I can remember, the nurses didn’t hit you that badly this morning…” muttered Dolly as she gently held onto Xavia’s arm and began examining it…
