Chapter 236

a bit!”“Yeah,” Winnie replied before holding Xavier’s hand again and continuing their journey toward the hospital.However, after they took a few steps forward, Winnie suddenly glanced back.Greta’s eyes met with Winnie’s in that instant because the former’s line of sight still hadn’t moved away from the latter.A very serious expression was visible on Winnie’s face when she looked at Greta. Silently, Winnie gestured for Greta to zip her mouth.Greta subconsciously nodded and waited for Winnie to vanish from her sight completely before letting out a sigh of relief.Then she turned to Mason. “Oh my god. You know, I’m pretty tough compared to a normal woman, but I didn’t expect to be stunned by a look from her. She’s really incredible!”Mason frowned. “You’re talking a bit too much today. No, actually, you always become quite chatty when it comes to Ms. Garland. You aren’t planning to befriend her, are you? We’re mercenaries, Greta. The only thing we care about is money, not people. Once we accept a mission from our employer, we will have to execute it, even if it means we have to kill her.”“I know that!” Her eyebrows furrowed intensely. “I just think she’s different from our previous employers.”As she spoke, she stretched her hand and pushed up the sun visor inside the car.Mason promptly shot a glance at her. “What are you doing? Does the sunlight not bother you?”“Nope!” Greta narrowed her eyes. “I like the sun. I hope it can illuminate this entire dark, dirty place!”Before Xavier and Winnie arrived at the ward, they could already see the bodyguard guarding the room at a distance.When the bodyguard saw them, he immediately trotted toward them.He halted his movements two steps away from the couple and informed sternly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fairchild, Mrs. Fairchild. I couldn’t complete the task I was given. Additionally, because of my mistake, Mdm. Sumner was injured. Please punish me! I don’t mind if you both want to scold or hit me!”Winnie furrowed her eyebrows slightly. Just from a glance, she could see the scratch marks on both sides of the bodyguard’s face. Scabs had already formed on those wounds. It was pretty obvious that those marks were caused by fingernails.Truth be told, she did want to reprimand the bodyguard, but she was an understanding person.There was no way a muscular young man couldn’t keep an elderly under control. However, if one were to do that, the elderly would undoubtedly suffer some form of injury. If a man like that improperly exerted his strength, then the elderly in question might even get killed.The bodyguard must’ve been unwilling to restrict Jacinta by force, which then allowed her to escape and accidentally fall down the stairs. When Winnie thought about that, she took in a deep breath and asked, “How did you get the scratches on your face?”“Eh?” The bodyguard was dumbstruck for a moment because he didn’t expect that to be the first thing out of her mouth.The scratches were caused by Jacinta, but he believed he mustn’t complain about the old woman in front of Winnie, so he lied, “I accidentally got them when I ran and brushed against the wall. These are all just minor scrapes. It’s not anything serious.”Of course, Winnie knew he was lying, but the fact that he didn’t shift
