Chapter 319

discovered something. Today, Winnie and I met that crazy woman. She wanted to kill Winnie because Xavier punished her for offending Winnie. I bet she resents Xavier, so I think we can use her.”After a pause, she continued, “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. However, you need to think of a way to release her. She has already been captured, but if there’s proof that she’s mentally disabled, she won’t need to go to jail… I know it’s tough, but we must try. I can’t possibly throw a flower pot again, right? He and Winnie have been inseparable lately, and I don’t want to hurt her accidentally… Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll inform you after I find out Xavier’s schedule.”Meanwhile, Nate stepped out of his attending physician’s office. His face was horridly pale, but he still forced a smile upon seeing Winnie waiting for him in the corridor.Glancing at him, Winnie commented mercilessly, “Don’t smile if you don’t feel like it. You look so ugly.”She didn’t have a good impression of Nate, so her reply was curt. To her surprise, Xavier’s smile deepened despite her harsh words.“Are you crazy? I said your smile is ugly, yet you’re still smiling?” Winnie asked with a frown.“Yes.” Pursing his lips, Nate explained, “It’s been a long time since someone was honest with me. Even when I have dark eye circles and a horrible skin condition due to overworking, my fans and assistant will still praise me exaggeratedly for my charm. At home, I often argue with my dad, so my mom often says pleasant words to appease me. Even the woman I used to love only says pretty but empty words. What’s the use of all that? None of it is true.

You speak the truth, making me feel like I’m not living in a fake world.”Winnie frowned as words eluded her. He seems to be in a sorry state, but…“I’m sorry, Nate, but I’m not interested in what’s going on in your mind. Don’t you have something to say to me? What is it?”A bitter smile spread across Nate’s face as he spoke. “Seems like you still haven’t forgiven me, but I believe I’m not far from getting your forgiveness since you came to visit me. It’s not convenient for us to speak here. Can you come to my ward?”“Okay. Lead the way.”Winnie followed Nate’s lead, and soon, they reached his ward. After closing the door, Nate cut straight to the point. “You’ve heard what the doctor said. There’s something wrong with my heart. Can I ask you for a favor?”“Do you want me to give you my heart?” Winnie asked, frowning.Shock inundated Nate as he exclaimed, “What? Why would you think so? Am I that evil to you?”Throwing Nate a glance, Winnie replied after a moment, “Yes. I usually think the worst of people who have offended me in the past.”Nate smiled sheepishly and uttered, “Looks like one shouldn’t do bad things, or one will forever be labeled a bad person. Anyway, I want to make up for what I’ve done.”“I know. Get straight to the point. What favor do you want me to do?”Nate stared straight at Winnie and said, “It’s not something difficult. I just need you to keep my condition a secret from Xavier. I’m afraid that once if he finds out about
