Chapter 102

arm, Winnie turned to face Louis and asked, “What are you doing here, Louis?”He would always cringe whenever she called him “Louis” with that sweet look on her face.Thank goodness Xavier isn’t here right now, or he’d probably be glaring daggers at me!“Yeah, what are you doing here at this hour, Louis?” Josiah questioned.“Mr. Fairchild said he’s here and told me to come over. Have you seen him, Dr. Houghton?” Louis replied.Of course, Josiah knew Louis was referring to Xavier’s father, Benjamin.Nodding, Josiah replied, “Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. He visited Old Mr. Fairchild with Yulissa before us. Do you know anything about this?”Louis frowned. “Yulissa? Mr. Fairchild didn’t mention anything about her, though.”“When did Mr. Fairchild return? Didn’t Old Mr. Fairchild order for the flight to be delayed?”“Yes. The plane was forced to land in Pontotium. As all the flights were canceled due to bad weather, Mr. Fairchild returned by sea instead. As for Yulissa, I believe it was a mere coincidence that he ran into her here.” “A coincidence?” Josiah chuckled and adjusted his glasses as he continued, “Ever since she returned to the country, everything that woman does is intentional. There’s no way this is a mere coincidence. Come on, let’s go have a look. I didn’t want to get too close to them earlier, but it should be okay to head over now.”Rufus’ ward was a VIP suite split into two sections. The outer section was for guests to mingle while the inner section had a bed for the patient to rest in.After entering the ward, Josiah sat Winnie down on the couch and handed her a plate of oranges.“Here, have some oranges while you wait. It’s really sweet, even if it doesn’t look like it. Stay here for a while. I’ll let you know when it’s your turn to enter.”Nodding, Winnie picked up a slice of orange as she replied with a smile, “Thanks, Bad Specky!”“Haha! All it takes is a couple of oranges to please a fool, huh?” Josiah remarked with a chuckle as he entered the ward with Louis.D*mn you, Josiah! I’ll be sure to get you for that when I have the chance!With that in mind, Winnie made a gesture at Louis before she started peeling the oranges.Having received her instructions, Louis made sure to leave the door ajar after entering the ward.That way, Winnie would be able to listen in on the conversation.She heard Josiah greet Benjamin before Rufus spoke up.“Take that away. I don’t need your stuff!”Judging by his hostile tone, Winnie could tell he was talking to Yulissa.That was especially the case since Yulissa was the only person who did not enter the ward empty-handed.Sure enough, Yulissa protested immediately after hearing that, “But Grandpa, this is—”“Don’t call me ‘Grandpa’! Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like for you to leave!”“This won’t take long, Old Mr. Fairchild! I just need to confirm something with you. Are you guys seriously not going to look for Xavier anymore?
