with Christopher.She quickly answered it, asking, “How is everything, Dr. Houghton? Is he awake? What? Are you joking? How’s that possible? I’m going to the hospital now.”Winnie’s words were all Christopher could hear during the entire call.Seeing Winnie hanging up the call in a rush, he hurried into the driver’s seat and instructed, “Get in. I’ll send you to the hospital.”Upon arriving at the hospital, Winnie ran straight to Xavier’s ward.By the time she entered the room, Josiah was already in there.Winnie asked, “What’s going on? What do you mean he’s missing? How can people go missing in your hospital?”Frowning, Josiah explained, “I went for a meeting. By the time I returned, he was gone. I can’t even get through his phone, so I thought you’d taken him away.” Winnie was displeased. “How is that possible? I was outside the entire time. Shouldn’t you check the surveillance footage first instead of calling me to make accusations?”“I’ve done that. He was escorted by someone.” Josiah fixed his eyes on Winnie.“What are you staring at me for? I told you, I didn’t do it! And based on what you’re saying, he wasn’t carried away, right? That means he was already awake by the time he left. By the way, where’s Yulissa? Is she still here?” Yulissa suddenly came to Winnie’s mind.“Yes. She popped by the ward before Xavier was escorted away.”“You should ask her, then. Who knows? She might know something.”“You don’t say? Of course, I’ve asked her. She knows nothing.”Winnie smirked. “Do you believe her just because she said that?”“I’d rather trust her over you!” Josiah was about to continue scolding when he suddenly received a text on his phone.He then unlocked his phone to read the text, and a frown instantly formed on his forehead. “What the hell? He sent me a text, saying he’s got a lead on Dumbo and is on the way to find her.”‘What?” But I’m here! Where is he going to look for me? ”Quick! Give him a call and find out what’s going on!”Josiah had already dialed Xavier’s number before Winnie said that.Alas, no one picked up. “No one’s picking up! What’s going on? Why is he sending me a text but not answering my call?” Josiah said.Unable to wrap his mind around the situation, he dialed Xavier’s number again.Meanwhile, Winnie figured Xavier was in trouble.There’s only one explanation as to why Xavier can only text instead of answer calls—the one holding on to Xavier’s phone is not Xavier himself.At that moment, she could only think of one person who wanted to harm Xavier, which was Zyon, the person working with Yulissa.At that thought, Winnie rushed to Yulissa’s ward.The door was kicked open with a bang, causing Yulissa to be startled by the raging woman who barged in.Yulissa did not recognize who Winnie was, for the latter was wearing a mask. “Who are you? What do you want?”Winnie stepped forward and pressed Yulissa on the bed. “Cut the crap. Where have you guys taken Xavier to?”“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I’m going to call for help if you keep this up.”Winnie pinched Yulissa’s broken finger. “Stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know you’re working with Zyon? You’d better tell me where Xavier is now, or you’re going to lose this finger for good.”“Ow… It hurts… Who on earth are you? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Xavier’s in the room, isn’t he? He was still sound asleep when I was gone. What’s with you? Ah… Please… Don’t hurt me. Please don’t do this. I’ll really lose my finger if you break it. I’m begging you. Please don’t hurt me,” Yulissa implored pitifully because she noticed Josiah entering the ward.Josiah hurried forward and pulled Winnie away. “What are you
