Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1568

...True enough, she was far too emotional, and aside from being weak, she was also prone to landing in horrendous situations… What a useless person…!

Knowing that she was filled with regret, Zivon forced himself not to reprimand her anymore. Instead, he took a deep breath and said, “…Either way, I’ve checked on her wounds and they don’t seem too serious. However…”

“…Someone took a video of the incident and now I’m stuck here, right…?” muttered Xavia who could already guess the truth.

Since Zivon remained silent, she took that as a yes. As two streaks of tears began rolling down her cheeks, she soon muttered, “…Do Maison and Yulia know about this…? Will you be able to keep it from them…? I… I don’t want them to know that their mother attempted murder…”

“…Don’t worry about that just yet. For now, I’ll try to take care of things as soon as possible so that I can get you out of here.”

“…Got it,” replied Xavia who knew that all this was her fault. She just hoped she could leave this dark enclosed space as quickly as possible…

Before Zivon could get anything done, he felt Xavia tugging his sleeve while muttering, “…Um… could you blindfold me with your tie…? I… just want to convince myself that I’m not being confined…”

It was then that Zivon realized that she was still traumatized after what Jenna had done to her all those years ago. She truly looked terrified, and unable to hold himself back, he picked her up and said, “…That’s it. I’m taking you home.”

Shortly after she said that, a group of soldiers marched up and blocked the corridor’s entrance, all the while making the Great Lady look grander than usual. Even so, Zivon kept his cool as he replied, “I’m sure there’s an explanation behind all this. For now, I’ll be taking Xav home and seeking legal advice. Xav won’t be allowed to leave the villa, so she’ll technically be ‘imprisoned’.”

“You can’t compare house arrest to imprisonment, Young Master Burton. While it’s true that you’ve accomplished many great things and I admire you, we can’t ignore the reality of the situation. If I let you take her away, how are we to explain it to Jenna and the public? What if another criminal references what we did in the future? The country would fall into chaos! Remember, you are an influential person and role model to many.”

The Great Lady was right, and Xavia didn’t want Zivon to be downgraded in the public’s eye. She knew she needed to be responsible for her actions…
