Chapter 40
"Are all of them really that vicious? They only know how to slap people. Why don't they go and slap a cactus if they have the ability to do so?"
Xavia didn't dare to let Maison see her in her current state, so she hid in her room. She didn't go out until it was already dark. After that, she snuck into the medical room to look for an anti-inflammatory medicine.
The medical room was very large and there was a lot of medication inside.
Xavia searched for half an hour and she finally saw a bottle of medicine. She opened the medicine and was prepared to apply it when a noble figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.
The medicine in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. She almost died out of shock. "Young... Young Master Burton, when did you come back?"
Zivon glanced at her slightly and his eyes instantly fell on her obviously swollen cheek. He did not reply. Instead he just frowned and asked, "Didn't the swelling on your face already subside in the afternoon?"
Well of course, this was all thanks to his dear future wife. Now it was even more swollen.
Xavia smiled awkwardly. "It's nothing. It's probably a rebound. I'll go back to my room and apply the medication first."
Xavia bent over to pick up the medicine and she wanted to leave in a hurry. Otherwise, if Jenna were to pass by and see her interacting with Zivon again, then her face would be completely ruined after getting hit.
But...
"Go and lie down on the bed," The man's deep voice sounded.
Xavia was startled. Lie down on the bed? Wasn't this sentence a little too misleading?
"That..."
"Don't make me repeat myself, " Zivon said coldly. He was very domineering and strong.
Xavia didn't dare to put up any resistance, so she went over and laid down obediently.
Zivon walked into the medical room. He found a special anti-inflammatory medication and he put on gloves before he walked to the bedside.
So the medicine that she found was the wrong one?
Xavia was surprised. Before she could even react, the man had already squeezed the ointment between his fingertips as he rubbed it onto her face gently. She cried out in pain because her injured skin was hurting and burning with pain.
Zivon reduced the force on his hand even more as he said, "Bear with it. This is a special medicine that Zayne personally researched and came up with. It will not be inflamed anymore in the morning tomorrow."
His voice was very deep and firm. It was completely different from his previously cold and indifferent voice. There was a hint of warmth in his tone, and the distance between the both of them was very close because of his posture where he was leaning over and préssing down on her. She could see his thick black brows, deep eyes and thin red lips clearly... Content belongs to Novelxo.org
His fragrant masculine scent was all around them.
Ba-dum! Ba-dum!~ Xavia's heartbeat suddenly accelerated as if her heart was about to jump out. Her breathing was also very disordered at this time.
She batted her long eyelashes, and her flushed face turned redder.
When Zivon saw that she had a confused and lost expression in her clear eyes and her small and slightly pursed lips were like cherry blossoms, he suddenly had the urge to kiss her...
Xavia felt as though she was about to fall right into those eyes that were as deep as the ocean. Damn it! Wasn't the pain on her face enough?
Xavia quickly averted her gaze, pushed him away and sat up. "Thank you, brother- in-law."
Brother-in-law?
Zivon's face fell and his voice trailed upward as he asked, "What did you call me?" His aura somehow carried an invisible hint of oppression in it.
Xavia wanted to create more distance from Zivon. So the best reminder would be for her to refer to him as her brother-in-law. So she said, "Brother-in-law. Isn't that so?"
Zivon stared at her, and he had a
deep and dangerous look in his eyes
as if he was locking his prey. After that he parted his lips. "Your elder sister and I are not married yet." Content belongs to Novelxo.org
What? Not married?
How could that be?! Back then, they should have already gotten their marriage certificate when her elder sister appeared in front of Zivon with Maison in her arms. Maison was already three years old now but they were still not married yet? Content belongs to Novelxo.org S
No. Whether he was married to her elder sister or not had nothing to do with her at
all. So why was she shocked about it?
Xavia quickly suppressed her thoughts and said, "It's going to happen sooner or
later anyway."
Damn it! She could not understand the human language at all?
There was a wave of irritation and resistance in Zivon's heart. He stretched out his
long arms, clasped her wrists before he pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and locked his lips onto hers in a domineering manner.
