Chapter 130

“What is it now?”

“Did you push her?”

“What?”

“I’m asking if you were the one who pushed Vivian.”

When he was interrogated roughly just as if he was about to get chewed off, the flustered man’s lips immediately went gaping about.

“What? A mere person who doesn’t even aware of who I—”

“I’m sure I’ll know who you are soon.”

Knox instantly grabbed the man’s collar. When he saw that Vivian had been sitting on the floor, he lost his reasoning at that moment and could no longer see anything. Only his powerful wrath was engulfing him completely.

“Because if I were to cut this hand right here, you will be saying it yourself.”

“Wh-what…!”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to cut off that wicked thing you called hands?”

The man’s breath instantly trembled at Knox’s sharp words. His instincts were telling him that he had to run away, but his pride was holding him at that particular spot.

“You, you! Do you even know who I am! If I were to go right to the Lord of this place and talk about this, a mere person like you and this place too—”

“Then, go on.”

Knox drew his face nearer to that disgusting man. Within the dark robe, a pair of red glaring eyes were already glistening with bloody resolve.

“At that time, I’ll cut that yapping mouth of yours as well.”

“Eeek…!”

The man instantaneously shook Knox’s hand away out of fear. When the clothes with its collar had come loose, he adjusted it back hastily.

“Just you wait and see, you’ll regret this!”

His voice was still loud, but looking at his unsightly behavior that was running outside quickly as if his tail had gotten snatched, Knox turned his head.

He carefully clasped onto Vivian’s shoulder while she was still collapsed on the floor and wasn’t moving even in the slightest.

“Vivian?”

Knox’s voice rushed to call her out, but her eyes were closed tightly with no signs of movement at all. Knox, who became terrified, began to embrace her even more strongly when he saw that she was still clutching onto her stomach—drenched in cold sweat.

“Vivian, get a hold of yourself—Vivian!”

Frightened by the deathly silence, Knox stood up while holding her. The rain was still pouring heavily outside, nevertheless he took off his robe and after wrapping it on Vivian’s body, he started running while carrying her outside.

“Please.”

His body, which held Vivian dearly, began to get wet from the relentless rain.

If I knew it’d be like this, I would’ve come with the carriage. The butler, who worried about the cloudy weather, had offered him a carriage, but he refused since he didn’t want to impose on Vivian and now, he was regretting that fact.

“Please, Vivian. Please open your eyes.”

He hugged her lovingly. The body in his hand was so light that he felt like it was about to get flown away. Knox also felt as if he was just about to cry at any moment due to her feeble weight.

No matter how uncomfortable she was, he should have been there at all times. He kept on blaming himself for going there belatedly since he wished to be considerate towards her, who had always been appearing exhausted nowadays.

“I could just meet you now. I could finally manage to see your face……”

His tearful voice eventually melted into the rain. His wet fringe had covered his gaze, but that agile body of his didn’t even stumble in the rain and he clearly saw the road ahead of him as he proceeded.

“I’m fine with just being by your side, so please… open your eyes. Vivian.”

His galloping steps grew even more hurried.

Chapter 10

As soon as she came to her senses, she felt a faint pain in her stomach.

Her body was heavy just like how cotton had been soaked in water, that it was hard for her to even lift a single finger and her eyelids felt like someone had forcefully stuck them together, making it arduous to move them freely. Her head felt like it was spinning as well—encircling around like she, herself, was shaking her own brain.

As she raised her trembling eyelids, a familiar face of someone was already there.

“…E, z?”

“Ma’am? Are you awake now?”

Contrary to the hurried voice, her body was still moving slowly. As if someone was controlling her whole body, she had to exert more strength than usual only to move just a little bit.

“I…”

“You fainted, ma’am. Do you have any idea how surprised I was?”

So, in the end—

It felt like her actions of not taking good care of herself for the past few days had ricocheted back to her like a boomerang. Vivian, whose body was just about to get broken in pain, opened her eyes all of a sudden as she remembered the previous person who shouted in front of her back then.

“The guest……?”

“The guest? What guest?”

Looking at Ez’s confused expression, it seemed like he knew nothing. Even after Vivian had collapsed due to the pain, that man still shouted loudly while pointing to her face. He seemed like the type who wouldn’t take his leave even if he was being talked to nicely.

Vivian thought that he was perhaps scared when she didn’t move and therefore, left just like that.

“Nothing. It’s fine if nothing actually happened,” Vivian answered him vaguely.
