what Xavier was up to.With a smile, she retorted, “Well, at least Dr. Houghton came over, no? How about you? Where are you now?”Xavier went silent for a while. With a stern tone, he said, “Winnie, you know I can’t show myself, right?”“Yes. I know. If someone finds out about it, all the previous efforts would be for nothing. I understand the situation. If I were you, I wouldn’t show myself as well.”“You’re right,” Xavier replied softly. After that, he suddenly asked, “What if I show up in front of you now? Will you stop being angry at me?”“Now?” Winnie chuckled. “Who do you think you are? The Flash? How are you supposed to just show up in the Garland residence all the way from Aqua Moana?”Xavier chuckled as well. His voice was tinged with delight as he queried, “Is your room the first from the left on the second floor?”Winnie was shocked. “How did you know? Are you outside?”Xavier let out a sigh inwardly. This woman isn’t stupid at all. In fact, she’s brilliant! She’s so smart that I can’t even surprise her!“Pull the curtains aside and look at the tallest tree across the road,” he stated.Winnie quickly pulled the curtains aside.At the same time, Xavier rolled down his window and got his driver to blink the car’s headlights.While sitting in the car, he stared at Winnie and waved his phone at her.Winnie found herself smiling when she saw Xavier. “Aren’t you afraid that someone might see you? If someone sees you, the news about you coming back to life will be all over Avenport tomorrow, you know?”“That’s why I must leave soon.”“So soon?”“What’s wrong? You can’t bear to see me leave?”“Ha! I just feel bad for you, that’s all. You came all the way here just for a phone call.”“Nonsense,” Xavier answered in a serious tone. “I get to see you smile. As long as you stop being angry at me, it’s all worth it.”Winnie’s smile grew wider at that. “All right, then. For your sake, I’ll forget about the slap your dad had given me. Hurry up and leave, okay?”“Look at me.”“I am. It’s so dark, though. What do you want to do?”Instead of talking, Xavier flashed half a heart shape with his fingers.After doing that, he realized how ridiculous and childish his gesture was.Before he realized it, Winnie had already seen it.In truth, Winnie found his gesture childish as well.However, there was no way she would deny him. She was already mesmerized by his good looks.Besides, he took a big risk by going all the way there to see her and speak to her for a mere few minutes.She could not possibly turn down his thoughtful gesture. “Xavier, I’ve received it! I’ve received your heart!”“How about the other half? Will you give it to me?”“We’ll talk about that when you can finally show up before me in the open.”“Don’t worry. I’ll quickly deal with Zyon and appear before you.”The car left, and Winnie closed the curtains.However, after driving less than ten kilometers, Xavier’s car was suddenly knocked by a white SUV.It seemed the driver of the white SUV was drunk-driving. The driver was driving so fast that both cars flipped over upon impact.Meanwhile, Jacinta was chatting with Winnie in the Garland residence.By the time they were done talking, more than half an hour had passed.After Jacinta left, Winnie finally had the chance to check her phone to see the texts Xavier had sent to her before.Since Xavier had already left more than half an hour ago, she thought he would have arrived home by then.She then texted him, but she did not receive a reply even after a while. It’s all right. He must be busy. After taking a shower, she went to bed. She fell asleep rather quickly because she had gone through a long day that day.While she was asleep, Xavier was in a house in Avenport.He rolled up his shirt with traces of blood on it and threw it into the bin.Around three minutes later, Josiah arrived in a hurry, with a
