matters.He clutched onto the caretaker’s leg and ordered the latter to take him away. This is a hospital. Hospitals are cursed.Winnie was speechless with surprise as she did not expect Zyon to be scared so easily. That was a spontaneous idea. I haven’t even begun to dig in, and he’s already in such a state.The caretaker helped Zyon up, and the door to the ward opened from within just as they were about to leave.Rufus’ butler emerged from the ward and glanced at the crowd in the corridor. “Dr. Houghton, Mrs. Fairchild, and Mr. Zyon, Old Mr. Fairchild requests your presence.”“All right,” said Josiah.“Okay,” responded Winnie.Zyon regained his senses when Winnie spoke. “You’re not dead? You’re not a ghost! You were messing with me, aren’t you? The three of you are ganged up against me in a deception!”Josiah smirked. “As the saying goes: ‘One need not have anything to fear if one has a clear conscience.’ Have you been up to no good that you’re this frightened in broad daylight, Mr. Zyon? I presume you have something to do with your cousin’s disappearance some time ago.”Zyon glared ferociously at him. “Stop accusing me, or I’ll sue you for slander!”Josiah raised his eyebrows. “Then I’ll await the letter from your lawyer, Mr. Zyon.”Without another word, he escorted Winnie into the ward.Zyon was worried that Winnie would run her mouth to Rufus, so he quickly called for the caretaker to help him overtake them and enter the ward before they did.He was already engaged in conversation with Rufus when Winnie and the rest entered.They found him putting on an act before his grandfather. “I’ve just seen Winnie, Grandpa. She’s back. Did you know about this?”“I do,” Rufus lamented as he nodded. “Louis already told me Xavier had been looking for Winnie before his disappearance. Though Winnie has made it back, there’s still no news of him. Poor Xavier.”“Oh, Grandpa.” Zyon pretended to wipe away a tear. “Maybe Xavier isn’t meant for this world. He became paralyzed after his car accident last year and nearly did not regain consciousness. I’m afraid his chances are slim with him lost out in the vast world. However, Grandpa, you still have me even if Xavier is gone. I’ll be by your side from now on. There will be no place but Avenport for me for the rest of my life. I know I’m inferior to Xavier in every way, but I swear to work hard to fill his shoes. I believe that I will become as good as him
