    Sebastian gave a lecture until he felt thirsty. After taking a sip of water, he pondered and said, “I


    thought I heard the voice of the daughter of the Zimmerman family just now. Since her dad is not by her


    side, she won’t throw a tantrum when she wakes up like other children, right?”“I’ll go and take a look


    then. You should rest for a while. How about you go out and have a seat? It’s a little stuffy in the


    study.”“All right then.”As the master and apprentice duo spoke, they walked out of the study one after


    another.Ynda was eating instant noodles in the living room when they came out.While she was


    eating, she was watching videos on her phone. Upon seeing Sebastian and Winnieing over, she


    turned off her phone.“What’s the matter, Grandpa?” Ynda asked Sebastian.“Nothing. I just came out


    for a stroll. Are the instant noodles tasty?”“It’s edible.” When Ynda saw Winnie heading toward the


    guest room, she could not help but nce at her a few more times. “It’s better than the lunch at that


    restaurant anyway,” she added absent-mindedly.Noticing that his granddaughter’s gaze kept following


    Winnie, Sebastian exined, “I thought I heard the voice of the daughter of the Zimmerman family just


    now and wasn’t sure if she’s awake or not, so I asked Nini to go over and take a look.”Ynda frowned


    upon hearing her grandfather’s words.“Really? What did you hear? I’ve been in the living room all this


    time. Why didn’t I hear her?”“You didn’t hear anything? I thought I heard her calling out ‘Daddy,’ but


    maybe I misheard it.”Sebastian had no reason to lie, and since he did not hear anything else, Ynda


    was able to set her mind at ease.However, Winnie soon rushed out of the guest room.“Master, Rachel


    is missing! I searched the entire room and couldn’t find her.”“What?” Sebastian widened his eyes in


    shock. “How could this happen? What about the windows? Are they closed properly? It couldn’t be that


    she was mischievous and climbed out of it, right? That would be dangerous!”“No. The windows are


    locked from the inside and haven’t been touched.”Ynda put up a show of cing the stic fork in


    her hand down and questioned Winnie, “What about under the bed, behind the curtains, or behind the


    couch? Have you checked them all? I’ve been preparing my instant noodles outside the entire time,


    and I didn’t see hering out of the room.”“I’ve checked them all. No one can climb under the


    bed.”“Then…” Ynda directed the conversation to another possibility. “Do you remember the instance


    we heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the study earlier on? Could it be that Rachel had


    opened the door and ran out then?”“That’s impossible!” Winnie furrowed her brows. “Xavier and Josiah


    rang the doorbell immediately after we heard the sound. If Rachel had opened the door herself and ran


    out at that time, they couldn’t have missed her.”“Then let’s look elsewhere in this house,” Sebastian


    said. “Maybe she opened the door and went to another room. Let’s look everywhere.”“Okay. I’ll have a


    look upstairs,” Winnie volunteered.Ynda did not remain idle either. “Sit and rest for a while, Grandpa.


    I’ll search this floor.”Winnie looked around upstairs, but naturally, she did not see a single person.Just


    as she was about to go downstairs, Ynda suddenly shouted, “I’ve found Rachel!”Winnie immediately


    went downstairs, and Sebastian also walked toward Ynda.“She’s asleep behind the couch in the


    office. She probably fell asleep there before Xavier went in, so we didn’t notice her. Since she’s


    sleeping soundly on the floor right now, should I wake her up?”Sebastian replied, “Wake her up then.


    How can she sleep on the floor like that?” Winnie walked over and heaved a sigh of relief upon


    confirming that Rachel was indeed behind the couch in the office.She then nced at her watch.


    Realizing that it was almost time for Xavier’s acupuncture session, she casually reminded Sebastian


    about it.“All right. You shall try it this time. A small matter like removing the needles shouldn’t be difficult


    for you.”Winnie nodded. After washing her hands, she was ready toe over to remove the needles


    from Xavier’s body.At that moment, Rachel also woke up. However, she was a bit afraid of Ynda, so


    she kept moving closer to Winnie.There was nothing Winnie could do to stop her. Coupled with her


    worry that Rachel might identally touch her and consequently hurt Xavier, she gave up on practicing


    removing the needles this time.In the end, Sebastian was the one who removed the eighteen silver


    needles on Xavier’s head.Since the calming incense was still burning in the doctor’s office, and it was


    not good to sleep in such an atmosphere for a long time, Sebastian pinched Xavier’s philtrum


    immediately after pulling out the needles.Xavier did not wake up at his first try.Sebastian thought that


    he did not exert enough strength, so he deliberately used more force when pinching for the second


    time.However, Xavier still did not wake up.“What’s going on?” Sebastian quickly instructed Ynda,


    “Cover the incense burner and open all the doors and windows.”Ynda did as she was told, but


    Xavier still did not wake up.Winnie frowned. “He woke up as soon as his philtrum was pinched the first


    two times. Why didn’t it work today? Could there be a problem with the incense?”“There shouldn’t be.”


    Sebastian frowned. “This incense isn’t that overbearing.”“Why didn’t he wake up then?” Winnie was


    initially very confident, but she began to panic a little at that moment. “Could it be because I didn’t insert


    thest three needles properly?”“No way!” Sebastian continued firmly, “I’m certain you inserted those


    needles in the right ces. Besides, the three points you pierced aren’t vital acupoints, so they won’t


    cause someone to fall unconscious. Move aside. I’ll take his pulse.”By then, Ynda had already


    opened all the windows and returned to the side of the bed.Although her grandfather and Winnie did


    not know why Xavier could not wake up, she knew the reason behind it.It was because Xavier had


    been hypnotized by her and had fallen into a deep slumber. Without her specific cue, he would not


    wake up anytime soon.Seeing that her grandfather was about to take Xavier’s pulse, Ynda did not


    wish to invite trouble to herself, so she discreetly opened her pocket watch and ced it next to


    Xavier’s ear.His eyeballs started moving to the rhythm of the ticks of the second hand.Around the tenth


    tick, Xavier suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.He did not say anything, and it was as


    though he could not see anything either.Making a hugging gesture toward the air, he shouted with


    labored breaths, “Dumbo! Be wary of Yulissa!”While saying that, he even twirled around while hugging


    the air.The others present might not understand the scene, but Winnie remembered everything like it


    was yesterday.It was the moment Yulissa flew toward her clutching a syringe, and the man in front of


    her had shielded her from the fatal blow with his body.She would never forget that moment for the rest


    of her life.“Xavier!” Winnie was moved and excited. “You’ve regained all your memories, right?”She


    opened her arms wide to give him a big hug.Xavier also looked in her direction and called out his “pet


    name” for her.“Dumbo.”Winnie’s face broke into a smile. “I’m here!”However, Xavier hugged Rachel,


    who was beside her instead!He tightened his hold around Rachel and murmured, “Dumbo, I’m so


    relieved that you’re okay.”Winnie was utterly shocked.
