Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 1860

Gulping slightly, Xavia nodded, prompting Dylan to add, “When Zivon was close to fainting, he injected himself with a strong stimulant… and because of that, he was able to carry me in one arm and pull the others with a rope in his other! However, he almost died because of his heart condition… Had he not been given emergency treatment, he could’ve been dead by now… I can still remember seeing how bloody his rope-burned hands were before passing out…”

Xavia could only imagine how dangerous it had been at the time… Just thinking about how battered he had been made Xavia’s heart throb. It didn’t help that she began recalling his previous voice messages…

“Xav, are you waiting for me? Don’t worry, I’ll be home soon…”

“Xav, I know I tend to make things sexual, but please know that I truly love you…”

“I love you.”

…His declaration of love had been his final words… and now that she thought about it, he had clearly been struggling to say all that… Clenching her fists, she ultimately muttered, “…Has he come by?”

Shaking their heads, the duo replied, “We thought he went looking for you…”

“…He did, but… It’s nothing. Thank you for sharing,” said Xavia before leaving the hospital…

Upon entering the car again, she heard Mark ask, “…Was he not there?”

Lowering his gaze, Mark replied, “…It’s fine if you think so, but… let me continue trying these twenty-plus days… That way, even if I fail, I’ll be able to tell myself that I at least tried my best… Just so you know, I’m constantly wondering whether things would’ve been different had I not left back then, and I really don’t want to continue living with such regrets… Anyway, off you go. We’ll meet when you’re free again…”

Unsure how to even respond to that, all she could do was get out. Once the car had driven off, she picked the children up and asked for Yulia’s phone. Her plan was to use it to contact Zivon. After all, there was no reason for him to ignore Yulia, right…? However, moments before she did it, she came up with another plan.

Turning to look at the kids, she was prompted to say, “…Um… Yulia? Tell your father that you got bullied by a boy at school… And Maison? Tell him that you tried to fight him, but he was too strong.”

Startled to hear that, the kids replied, “It’s not nice to lie, Mommy! Also, did you quarrel with Daddy again…?”
