Chapter 89

to accidentally divulge the fact that Xavier is still alive when you’re at the hospital later.”“I know what to do. When have I ever let slip the truth while you pretended to be a fool in front of all the Garland family members? Don’t worry. I won’t ruin your plan!”Soon, they arrived at the hospital.Josiah knew the party was coming, so he left his office in advance and coincidentally bumped into Winnie and the rest at the elevator.Josiah greeted Jacinta first before he teased Winnie, “Dum… Winnie, what is this thing you’re carrying?”Winnie rolled her eyes at him. Does he think I don’t know he was calling me Dumbo after he changed his words in the middle of his speech?“Why aren’t you saying a word? You’re behaving like a rude child.”She grinned at him politely. “This is oatmeal for Grandpa Rufus. Granny said sick people should consume easily digestible food like this because their stomach is weak.”“Oh. You’re so smart. Why didn’t you bring an extra portion for Specky?” Josiah nodded.Winnie smiled. “You are Bad Specky, so you don’t deserve to have this oatmeal.”Josiah was stumped momentarily. “Why do I feel you’ve become more sharp-tongued after not seeing you for a few days?” Winnie merely chuckled in response.Louis kept quiet as he took in their interaction. Dr. Houghton is only teasing Mrs. Fairchild in such a way because he has never seen her when she’s not acting dumb. Anyway, judging by Mrs. Fairchild’s laugh, I reckon Dr. Houghton will face many difficulties in the future.He hurriedly stepped in to lighten up the mood. “We’ll be arriving soon.”As he spoke, the elevator doors opened with a ding.With that, the party of four stepped out of the elevator. While they walked along the corridor, someone’s voice sounded behind them before they even reached Rufus’ ward. “Stop right there! Where do you all think you’re going?”All of them recognized that voice’s owner to be Zyon. Everyone turned around except Winnie.Louis took the initiative to greet Zyon, but the latter acted arrogantly and completely disregarded him.Instead, Zyon pointed at Jacinta and said, “What do all of you mean by this? I am Grandpa’s biological grandson. You guys stopped me from visiting him, yet you’re now leading this strange elderly woman into Grandpa’s ward. Have you all gone soft in the head?”Josiah tucked his hands into the pockets of his white coat while wearing an indifferent expression. “That’s because a certain individual’s presence inside the ward will only disrupt the patient’s quality rest time.”“Is that so? Josiah, who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty in front of me? You are just Xavier’s dog! How dare you spout nonsense around here now that your owner is missing. I think Xavier is most probably dead! Aren’t you afraid you’ll be beaten to death for acting so recklessly?”“Ha!” Josiah snorted. His spectacles reflected the glint in his cold gaze as he uttered calmly, “I think everyone here can tell who’s the one barking like a mad dog here. Have you forgotten why you’re sitting in a wheelchair now?”Zyon certainly remembered the reason vividly, as that was the outcome after Xavier bashed him up.So what? If I am given an opportunity to turn back time, I will still choose to harass Xavier’s wife in front of him, push his wife down the hill, and toss him into the sea to feed the fish!“Josiah, I’m not wasting my time on you anymore. I am going to visit my grandpa now. Since all of you cannot stop me anyway, I suggest you all do yourselves a favor and save the trouble.”Josiah jeered at him, “What’s the matter? Are you planning to let others push you into the ward while you sit in a wheelchair, Mr. Zyon? Are you not using the crutches today? Wouldn’t that reflect your insincerity?”Zyon considered Josiah’s remark. He’s right! I was too focused on quarreling with these lowly people that I almost forgot to use my crutches.“Help me up and bring the crutches over!” Zyon immediately instructed his caretaker, who
