Chapter 226

Winnie then grabbed Greta’s arm and started helping her toward the back door.Xavier felt his blood boil when he saw Winnie treating a mercenary better than him.After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he threw away the item he was holding and rushed forward.The next thing they knew, he swept Greta off her feet and carried her in his arms.“Hey! What are you doing?” Greta asked instinctively.“Shut up!” Xavier shouted without even looking at her.“You’re hurting my wound!” Greta exclaimed with a frown.“Bear with it!” Xavier snapped back at her.Greta fell silent after that.“Xavier!” Winnie called out to him, but he ignored her completely.She was about to chase after Xavier when she noticed the item that he discarded earlier.As she went over to pick it up, she realized it was a rather familiar-looking scarf.Wait a minute, this is the scarf I bought after arriving at Lightspring!
