domineering CEO look.”Instead of uttering threats to him as he did in the past, Xavier merely stared daggers at Josiah.The only thing that he did was say, “How childish!”Josiah spread his hands nonchalantly. “Fine. Let’s get down to business, then. Indeed, I’ve hired an old traditional medicine practitioner for you, and he’s extremely skilled at acupuncture. As for the woman in front of you, Ms. Winnie Garland, she’s Old Mr. Xander’s last apprentice, his proudest one yet. She’s a talented traditional medicine practitioner. Old Mr. Xander recently—”Before he could finish his fabrication, Winnie interrupted, “That’s enough. Why don’t you bring him to your hospital for a checkup?” Josiah did not continue the topic and nodded. “Yes, that’s what I shall do. You’ve given a great suggestion!”Meanwhile, Xavier clearly remembered that Yulissa had given him an injection before.Therefore, he knew that he had to receive medical treatment. After glancing at his watch, he turned to Louis, who was standing behind him, and asked, “Do I have any plans later on? If there’s none, I will go to the hospital.”Even though there were actually plans, his health was more important. Thus, the meetings and projects could be postponed.“There’s none. I will arrange the car for you.”Xavier grunted in acknowledgment as he tugged at his necktie.After tugging at it twice, he stood up swiftly and walked toward Rachel, who was playing with Winnie’s phone.The moment he saw the boring game on the screen, he took the phone away from her hands.Then, he looked at her and said, “Help me to untie this.”Rachel pouted from having the phone taken away from her.

I can help you.”As a matter of fact, if he had not gone over, he did not doubt that Winnie would wrap her fingers around Xavier’s neck and strangle him. After all, her expression was so cold that it seemed like she could freeze everything around her.Then, Josiah added, “Uh… Let’s not bring her with us when we go to the hospital later, okay?”“Why not?” Xavier frowned. “She will be wherever I am. I won’t let her leave me.”“Fine, then. You’re the boss.”Winnie was not even allowed to sit in Xavier’s car during the journey to the hospital.It was because he did not think that they were close. Thus, he did
