path must look forward.”“That’s right.” Winnie held Xavier’s hand tightly and smiled. “I rarely look back. It’s not because I don’t like to, but it’s because I don’t dare to. The road is always filled with regrets, so it’s better to move forward.”“Yes.” Xavier and Winnie intertwined their fingers. “I’ll walk with you from now on.”Winnie looked at the tall man in front of her and leaned against him gently.However, after less than half a minute of their peaceful silence, Xavier’s phone suddenly rang.Winnie glanced at it subconsciously. When she saw the familiar strings of numbers on the caller ID, she immediately stood up straight and signaled for Xavier to answer it quickly.Feeling Winnie move away from him, Xavier stretched out his arm and pulled her closer. Then, he answered the call.It was a short conversation when he only said a total of three sentences. “Is that so? All right. Thank you.”Then, he ended the call.Seeing this, Winnie immediately asked, “What happened? Did something happen to Stuart’s case?” “No.” Xavier put his phone into his pocket and held Winnie’s hand again. “It’s about that unknown celebrity, Shania. Didn’t Stuart try to get her out of the detention center before he was arrested? She’s gone now and can’t be found anywhere. The police were worried that she would threaten us, so they called to remind us to be more careful when we are in public.”Winnie nodded. “I see. However, if I were her, I would never show my face again after finding out what happened to Stuart.”“It’s fine if she shows up.” Xavier bent down and kissed Winnie on the forehead. “This time, I won’t go anywhere. I’ll definitely protect you.”The two of them walked out hand in hand.However, on their way out, Winnie suddenly saw a familiar face.Seeing Winnie stop in her tracks, Xavier followed her gaze.“Isn’t that Lisanne?” he asked. “What is she doing here?”Winnie shook her head lightly. “I have no idea.”Just as she said that, Lisanne looked toward her.Their eyes met.Lisanne approached them first.Winnie let go of Xavier’s hand and took a few steps forward.“Winnie,” Lisanne greeted and asked, “Are you here to visit your grandmother?”Winnie nodded. “What about you? Why are you here? I saw that you came with someone else. Are you also here to visit a patient?”Their current location was relatively close to the main entrance. Many people were coming and going.“It’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s go to the lobby,” Lisanne suggested.She glanced at Xavier, who was standing behind Winnie. “Your husband can come along too.”The three of them quickly entered the lobby. Lisanne led Winnie and Xavier to a quiet place and sat down.She explained, “I’m accompanying Mr. Bennett and Mdm. Sullivan to visit a patient. Mdm. Sullivan’s not in good health lately, and she always liked me, so Mr. Bennett invited me along to accompany her.”The two people Lisanne were talking about were Blake Bennett and Madeline Sullivan, Christopher’s parents.“I didn’t expect to see you here. Mr. Bennett and Mdm. Sullivan has gone in. I’m waiting for them to come out.”When Christopher and his family were mentioned, Xavier’s strong guilt toward the former arose again.He held Winnie’s hand tightly, looked at Lisanne, and said seriously, “I’ve been looking for an opportunity to meet the two elders and apologize to them in person, but I haven’t made any arrangements. I don’t know when is the right time to meet them either. However, I know that this matter cannot be delayed. Ms. Marsh, since you’re close to the Bennett family,
