a tall figure clad in only a bathrobe.“Why are you not waiting for me in the bedroom, hmm? Who were you on the phone with?” Xavier walked over with a dark expression.Winnie helplessly held her forehead. She never thought he would catch up so quickly.After some contemplation, she answered, “Granny.”“Why did you call someone living under the same roof?” “You remembered it wrongly,” Winnie replied with a straight face. “She’s not used to living in such a huge mansion and moved out long ago. It’s been a few days, and Granny said she missed me, so I’m planning to go and keep her company. Ever since I got married to you, I haven’t seen her for such a long time. Granny’s the person who treats me the best in this world. You’ll not stop me from going to see her, will you?”Hearing her, Xavier frowned. “From what you said, does it mean I don’t treat you well?”For a moment, Winnie was at a loss. Is he seriously even jealous of Granny!Looking at Xavier, she abruptly sat up on her knees and pulled his head into her arms. “I know you treat me well, but I have to go today. You can’t stop me, or I’ll ignore you.”“You wouldn’t dare!”“Let’s see about that.”“D*mn it! How dare you threaten me?”“Yeah. Seems like it’s working, though.”“D*mn it! You darned woman! I can’t even retort!”When she heard Xavier muttering lines that could only be seen in novels featuring an overbearing CEO, Winnie could not help but laugh.He’s so cute like this!This time, she was the one who could not help herself and pressed him onto the bed.Half an hour later, Louis and Josiah arrived at Lagune Mansion at the same time.When Xavier saw his assistant, the first thing he ordered was to remove the charity gala that was in two days from his schedule.On the way there, Louis was informed of his boss’ mental condition, so he agreed to the order readily.Then, he reported the latest important issues in the company to Xavier.Although many things were not in line with his memory, Xavier seemed to adapt to the missing memories and made accurate decisions.They were very delighted that Xavier’s superior ability in handling work matters was no different from the past.As Xavier and Louis talked about work, Winnie took Josiah to her past “study,” which was the playroom she used when pretending to be mentally impaired.The two of them discussed Xavier’s present condition for a while.Then Josiah said, “My mentor introduced me to an old practitioner in traditional medicine. He’s very good and could be called an expert in the world of Chanaea’s traditional medicine. However, he went into seclusion a few years ago. I need some time to find him, but I’ll make haste.”Winnie nodded. “Has he treated any rare ailment?”“Yes. He had some of those cases. The method he used is acupuncture, the essence of Chanaea. Although that ailment is not the same case as Xavier’s. I think it’s worth a try.”“Okay, keep searching. We cannot give up on modern medicine treatment as well.”Josiah nodded in agreement. Then, he took out a small box from his pocket and passed it to Winnie. “This is the sample of the venom you asked for.”Opening the box, Winnie checked on it. After verifying that there was no problem with it, she kept it away.“I will board the plane in four hours. Since Xavier is discussing important matters, I won’t disturb him and will leave directly. Inform him in my stead later.”After leaving Lagune Mansion, Winnie went back to Aqua Moana because Jacinta was still living there.Winnie did not tell Jacinta about all that happened previously. Hence, Jacinta did not know that Winnie was with Xavier the night before.When she heard that Winnie would depart to Yartran so suddenly, Jacinta
