Chapter 194
Sebastian immediately swallowed his words when he heard Xavier’s voice.“Now that he’s awake, you
two should have a good talk.” Sebastian rose to his feet and picked up the small box on the coffee
table. “I’ll take away Ynda’s hypnotic incense first.”Winnie had no objections because it originally
belonged to Ynda.Nheless, there were some things that needed to be said right away, so she
called out to Sebastian.“Master, please wait a moment. I have something to tell you.”Sebastian sighed
and turned around, saying coldly, “Nini, you should change the way you address me.”Winnie paused
for a moment before deciding to change the way she addressed him. “Understood, Old Mr.
Xander.”The way she changed from addressing him as Master to Old Mr. Xander indicated a change in
their level of closeness.“Good. You may now tell me what you wanted to tell me,” Sebastian replied,
sighing once more.Winnie frowned and said earnestly, “I hereby promise you that I will no longer use
deception to stalk Ms. Xander. But if she continues to do something against Xavier or me in the future, I
will not sit back and do nothing.”Sebastian nodded. “I understand. If that day doese, she’s only
bringing trouble to herself. Well, I suppose that’s all for today. It looks like your husband is about to
wake up, so I’ll be on my way now.”Soon after, Winnie and Xavier were the only two people left in the
living room.Without waking up, Xavier continued to call Winnie’s name.She quickly unbuttoned the top
two buttons of his shirt, calling out his name several times as she did so.When she called his name for
the third time, Xavier opened his eyes.“Winnie!”“I’m here!” Winnie immediately took Xavier’s hand in
her own.Xavier gave Winnie a long look before frowning.“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”
Winnie inquired, concerned that he was in poor health.Before pushing her hand away, Xavier gave her
a faint smile. “Dr. Gand, are you taking advantage of me? I recall telling you that I’m a married
man.”Winnie was rendered speechless when she heard that. She rolled her eyes and resisted the urge
to smack him on the head.Xavier, amused, turned to Winnie and said, “What? Did I say something
wrong? Was I correct? That’s why you’re irritated.”Xavier felt vindicated after recalling how she used to
tease him while she was ying dumb in the past.In fact, he had struggled in the past because of
her.However, it was the inverse at that time. He could finally revel in the pleasure of teasing her.WinnieMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
wished she could crack his head open and reorganize his nerves all over again at that moment.Despite
having that thought, she was a strong-willed individual. She could hold back for as long as she
wanted.Nheless, it was true that she did not wish to speak with him at that moment. After all, she
was at someone else’s house, not her own.Winnie eventually ignored Xavier and took out her phone,
starting to send messages.When Xavier realized she would rather y with her phone than talk to him,
he simply stood up.Because he was tall, the moment he stood behind Winnie and looked down at the
screen of her phone, he could see her entire phone interface and discovered that she was texting
Josiah.She was inquiring of Josiah about Ynda.Shortly afterward, Josiah replied: I managed to find
her, but she told me to get lost. Of course I want to, but I can’t just do it and offend Old Mr. Xander,
right?Winnie quickly responded: Ask her to return, then.Josiah wrote: Huh? Do you really expect her to
listen to me? Surely you think too highly of me, Ms. Gand.Winnie replied: Find another way,
then.Josiah messaged: Why don’t you do the thinking if you’re so smart?Winnie paused for a moment
before responding quickly: How about you provoke her by telling her I might go search her room for
something and ask her if it doesn’t matter? I’m sure she’lle right back after hearing
that.Surprisingly, Josiah no longer responded immediately.Two minutester, Josiah sent Winnie a
voice message, saying, “It’s done! She’s already on her way back! By the way, how is Xavier doing
right now? Is he awake yet? I believe it is time for us to depart. Ynda is obviously a cunning woman.
I’m certain she won’t tell the truth if we stay there. Perhaps she’ll tell Old Mr. Xander everything after
we’ve left.”After Winnie listened to the voice message, she messaged: You’re right. You should hurry
up and return as well. We’ll talk about what happened after we leave the Xander residence.Josiah
replied: Right away!Winnie put her phone away after their conversation was over. When Xavier noticed
that, he also withdrew his gaze at that precise moment.In fact, Josiah was right. It was about time for
them to go.After all, there was a lot of conversation that was inappropriate in the Xander
residence.Winnie and Josiah arrived at the Xander residence in their respective cars.It would be
natural for Xavier to leave in Josiah’s car, given that he had arrived in Josiah’s car.On the road, Josiah
was driving ahead, with Winnie close behind.“Did you experience anything unusual while at the Xander
residence earlier?” Josiah inquired of Xavier inside the car.Xavier furrowed his brows and looked at
Josiah. “What is it? Tell me.”“It’s about Winnie’s rtionship with Old Mr. Xander. They seem to have
grown distant all of a sudden.” Josiah frowned slightly.After all, she had always addressed Sebastian
as Master. However, she no longer addressed him as Master. Instead, she referred to him as Old Mr.
Xander. Sebastian also appeared to be less weing to Winnie than he was a few days ago.Xavier
hummed. “You’re right. It’s exactly as you stated.”When Josiah heard that, he could not help but nce
back at Xavier in the rearview mirror before saying, “From your response, it appears that you’re quite
certain. Is it possible that I missed something when I went out to find Ynda?”“You can put it that
way.”“What did I miss, then? Stop keeping me guessing and hurry up and tell me.”As he looked in the
rearview mirror at Winnie’s car, Xavier frowned slightly again.“They have already severed their master-
apprentice rtionship.”Josiah, thinking he had misheard him, asked, “What did you say? Are you
kidding me?”“Do I seem to be joking with you?”Josiah found it unbelievable because Winnie had
previously demonstrated exceptional talent in front of Sebastian.Ynda, not Winnie, was the one who
was moring for a match. Before the first match even began, Josiah was certain that even if Winnie
lost all three matches, Sebastian would still ept her as his apprentice.That was undeniably his
impression of Sebastian at that time.How could the two sever their master-apprentice rtionship so
quickly?With that in mind, Josiah stated, “I don’t believe it. Is it possible that you misheard
anything?”Xavier replied firmly, “Impossible. I heard it myself.” “Or perhaps you heard it in your sleep?
Do you really believe I’m unaware that you only recently awoke? You couldn’t have heard it because
you were unconscious most of the time.”Hearing that, Xavier responded calmly, “I forgot to tell you, I
was faking it.”Josiah was stunned. “What? You were just pretending to be unconscious?”“Of course. Do
you really think half a tranquilizer dose will knock me out in my current condition?”When Josiah heard
that, he couldn’t believe he had missed it. “So, what was the point of pretending to be unconscious?”“I
knocked out Old Mr. Xander. But because he was Winnie’s teacher, I didn’t want to jeopardize their
master-apprentice rtionship, so I yed dumb. Our goal is to enter Ynda’s room, which is the
same. We were all convinced that there was a secret in her room. You guys couldn’t find anything in
her room because it was already in my possession a long time ago.”Josiah was perplexed. “Why didn’t
you consult with us beforehand?”“Didn’t you guys talk about it without informing me either?”“Because
we thought you were still unconscious at the time!” Josiah drove the car to the side of the road and
stopped.“What exactly did you find in Ynda’s room?” Josiah asked Xavier, turning his head.“A
medicine bottle and an acupuncture kit. Take it to your hospitalboratory and have it tested,” Xavier
said, handing Josiah a small bag.Josiah quickly raised his hand to ept it. As he was about to open it
to see what was inside, he abruptly came to a halt.“Wait! You just stated that you chose to y dumb
because you were concerned about how your actions would affect Winnie and Old Mr. Xander’s
rtionship.” Josiah narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on Xavier.Xavier replied, “Indeed. Winnie
and I are on the same side. We share the same glory and humiliation.”“Does that mean you’ve
recovered your memory and remembered everything? You recall Winnie as your wife, and the person
residing at Aqua Moana is someone else!”“Of course I’m aware of that.”“When did you get your
memory back? Was it after the most recent acupuncture treatment?”“Two days ago.”Josiah was
surprised. “What? Why didn’t you tell us? I can’t believe you’ve been keeping it from us.”Seeing that
Josiah was about to devour him, Xavier frowned slightly.“Because my condition was still unstable then,
and Ynda had been hiding in the dark. I couldn’t afford to risk alerting her unnecessarily because I
didn’t know what she was up to.”“Then is your condition stable now?” Josiah hurriedly
asked.Nonchntly, Xavier answered, “Not yet. But now that you’ve faced Ynda, she’s been forced
to reveal everything, so there’s no need for me to trick her any longer.”“What you said makes sense,
and I believe you exined it adequately. However, I have a feeling you’ll have a difficult time
persuading Winnie. She gave us a honk.”“Hurry up, then.”After Josiah drove the car back onto the
road, he asked, “Are you still trying to keep it a secret from her?”“There’s no way I can keep it a secret
from her for long. I’ll find time to exin it to her. But now isn’t the time, and don’t you dare let it
slip.”“Understood!” Josiah gave a nod. “You must be the one to exin it to her. By the way, do you
want to apany me to the hospital?”Pinching the space between his brows, Xavier replied, “No. I
don’t feel well. Just send me back to Aqua Moana first.”The two cars then entered Aqua
Moana.Following that, Winnie and Xavier got into the same elevator.Winnie’s mind was preupied.
Xavier, on the other hand, was staring at her without moving an inch.Suddenly, she raised her head
and looked at him, sensing his gaze.She was initially annoyed by what she had in mind, but after she
looked at his handsome face, her mood seemed to have improved all of a sudden.She smiled gently as
she looked at him. “You’ll have to take the medicine again tonight. I’ll send it to you once I’ve decocted
it.”When Xavier saw her smile, his heart skipped a beat.He could not smell anything but the faint,
fragrant aroma of her body inside the small enclosed space.Her distinct body scent seemed to have its
own mind, attempting to prate all of his senses.When he realized that, he felt an overwhelming
desire to hug her.Under the light scent of the enticing aura, Xavier subconsciously moved closer to
Winnie.Yet, the elevator doors opened at that moment because someone on the first floor had pressed
the elevator button, interfering with Xavier’s movement.He was fine with it, however, because his
original n was not to do it there.After being injected with the toxin, he had finally regained all of his
memories, with no gaps.Evidently, he remembered everything that had happened after Yulissa injected
him with the poison, as well as every moment he had spent with Winnie after that.As a result, being
able to recover all of his memories meant everything to him.He had intended to decorate his home
properly before inviting her to spend the night with him.However, he was almost unable to restrain
himself while inside the crowded elevator with her.He could not help but be irritated when he thought
about it.The two of them returned to their respective homes after that.In reality, Xavier had already told
Louis to set up his home before he returned.Louis hadpleted his setup by the time Xavier arrived
home.“Everything has been set up ording to your specifications, Mr. Fairchild. Is there anything that
needs to be improved?”When he heard that, Xavier looked around and was pleased with the oue.
“Excellent work. You didn’t let me down.”“I’m d you’re pleased. Dinner will be served in about two
hours. If you don’t have any further instructions, I’ll return to the office first.”“All right, you can go
ahead.” Having said that, Xavier went to the bathroom.After about an hour and a half, Xavier took the
initiative to call Winnie.“Dr. Gand, I heard that taking traditional medicine on an empty stomach is
bad for the intestines, so could you pleasee earlier? I’d also like to treat you to dinner as a way of
saying thanks for looking after me. Do you ept my invitation?” Xavier asked nicely.It had been
several days since the two had eaten together, so Winnie agreed without hesitation.Half an hourter,
Xavier was alone in his house, lighting the candles on the dining table.Just as he was about to take out
his phone and call Winnie to hurry up, Josiah called him.“Listen up, Xavier. The ingredients of the
medicine you gave me have been tested in theboratory. It’s a littleplicated and difficult to exin
over the phone. You shoulde over here right away!”“Right now?” Xavier frowned as he looked at
the beautifully decorated scene.To make matters worse, it was almost time for their dinner when he
raised his hand and looked at his watch.“Yes, right now!” Josiah replied hastily.As soon as Josiah
finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
