a project in the neighboring city and that he had to travel there personally, so he was not in Avenport at the moment.However, even if he was in Avenport, she would still accompany her grandmother that night.“That’s more like it!” With that said, Jacinta obediently got into the car.Since Winnie was a little exhausted, she closed her eyes as soon as she got in the car. It was Jacinta who woke her up when they arrived.After eating something at home, Winnie was no longer as sleepy as she had been.Only then did she tell Jacinta about Xavier’s situation.Needless to say, Jacinta could not believe her ears when she heard it.“What? So many things happened on the night of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration? There was even a casualty? Why did you hide such a significant matter from me? Do you intend to never return and keep quiet if I didn’t go to Fairchild Corporation?”“I don’t want you to worry about me. The situation was extremely dangerous that day. Even now, thinking back on it makes me feel a little scared. If it hadn’t been for Xavier, maybe I would have become stupid again, just like when I was a kid.”“Is that real?” Jacinta was still unable to believe it. “Why hasn’t anyone brought up Yulissa’s death at all if she is dead?”“It’s because it’s in a relatively remote demolition area.

His family isn’t an ordinary family. I’m sure they could hire a professional caretaker to take care of him. If you really want to help, you can hire a qualified caretaker and pay for it. You’ve promised me that you’d divorce him. I was already against your relationship before he was injected with the toxin. I would never agree to it now that he’s in this state and could go insane at any time!”“Granny.” Winnie furrowed her brows slightly. “I understand you’re concerned about me. You think that the men of the Fairchild family have poor morals and would harm me. However, if everything Xavier had gone through had been a test, he would have passed it long ago. I’m in love with him right now, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Granny, you’re a very special person to me, and I’m hoping for your blessing.”After a lengthy period of silence, Jacinta piped up, “No. He passed your test but not mine!”Winnie finally cracked a smile when she heard that. “I’m glad you’re willing to give him a chance. He won’t let you down, I’m sure
