Chapter 237
Xavier typed: Look into Zyon’s background again. For example, find out if it’s possible that the hospital
he was born in mistook him for someone else. The person he was messaging soon replied: Roger! So
far, we’ve discovered that Jacinta’s true birthce may be somewhere else. I believe we’ll be able to
find out where it is soon!Xavier: Do it quickly! After reading the reply to his order, Xavier frowned
slightly. It seems like there is more than meets the eye to Jacinta.Pondering the matter in detail for a
moment, he then gestured for his bodyguard to follow him.He brought the bodyguard to a spot far away
from Jacinta’s ward because he didn’t want the people inside to hear what he had to say next. “I’m
going to ask you a few questions, and I expect you to answer them truthfully. Don’t hold back,
understand?”His overly serious tone terrified the bodyguard. “I-I understand, Mr. Fairchild. I’ll answer
your questions truthfully.”“Good.” Xavier raised his eyebrow and looked at the bodyguard. “When you
were chasing after Mdm. Sumner, did she really fall down the stairs by ident? Or did she pretend to
do so? You don’t need to worry about anything. Just tell me exactly what happened.”With furrowed
eyebrows, the bodyguard answered, “That, I am not sure. There were a lot of people at the station back
then, so I couldn’t clearly see how she fell down the stairs. ording to what she said, she was tripped
by someone and fell. She was already at the bottom of the stairs when I caught up to her.”“Okay. Did
she contact anyone after she woke up? Or did anyone call her?”“Nope!” That word left the bodyguard’s
mouth instantly because he was very certain about that.“Mhm. In that case, just protect Mdm. Sumner
for the time being. Additionally, I want you to pay attention to her every move.”“Roger!”“Onest thing,”
Xavier hastily added with an incredibly serious expression. “Do not let Winnie learn about our
conversation! Not even a single word of it! Do you understand?”“I do! Don’t worry, Mr. Fairchild. I can
definitely do that.”Xavier nodded. “Very well. Go and guard the entrance now. If Winnie asks about me,
tell her I went to the restroom.”With that said, he ambled in the direction of the restroom.That was
because he was suddenly experiencing difort. It was as though the blood in his entire body was
getting restless, which was a sign that his condition was about to act up. Thus, he needed to go to the
restroom immediately and wash his face with cold water to calm himself down.After more than a dozen
minutes had passed, Winnie stepped out of the ward.When the bodyguard saw her, he promptly
exined, “Mr. Fairchild went to the restroom, Mrs. Fairchild. He’ll be back soon. Why don’t you sit
here and wait for him?”“It’s fine.” She was nning to go to the restroom anyway. “You just need to
focus on protecting Granny well. There’s no need to pay attention to anything else.”The instant she
ended her sentence, she saw Xavier approaching her.Winnie strode toward him. “Where’s the
restroom? Take me there.”Then she eyed him and asked, “What happened to your hair? Why is it so
wet?”“I identally drenched my hair when I was washing my face. It’s way too hot here. I’m soaked
with sweat,” Xavier exined casually.He wasn’t technically wrong. Although, the sweat on his body
wasn’t just because of the heat. It was also due to his attempt at concealing his rpse.His reason for
not telling Winnie the truth was that he didn’t want her to worry about him when there were already so
many troubling things demanding her attention.Additionally, he only had to endure for a while before
that sense of restlessness left him. That made him believe he wouldn’t rpse any time soon.After
Winnie went to the restroom, both of them swiftly left the hospital and returned to the hotel because
Mason and Greta were still waiting for her there.What she was about to discuss with them was pretty
confidential, so she didn’t want Xavier to know.Hence, her mind was busy on the way back to the hotel.
She was thinking about what she should say to make her excuse sound reasonable to Xavier.After all,
she had already lied to Xavier that she had asked Mason to investigate Yulissa, and technically, she
had no reason to hide any details about the matter from him.What happened in the end surprised
Winnie. Xavier said he wanted to take a shower to wash away his sweat and suggested she meet with
Mason and Greta first.Thus, she hurriedly went looking for Greta and Mason to ask them about the
situation, not giving Xavier’s absence a second thought.After all, it was pretty rare for him to sweat that
much when they were in their home country. Additionally, she knew he was a bit of a clean freak, so
she didn’t find anything wrong with him taking a shower after sweating a lot.“Take your time with your
shower. I’ll head to the neighboring room first,” Winnie informed.“Okay.” Xavier’s voice sounded slightly
deeper because he felt his body spiraling out of control again.He knew the veins on his forehead were
bulging, which was why he had been talking to Winnie with his back to her. “You should go. I’ll be right
there.”“It’s okay. There’s no rush.”“Mhm!” Xavier didn’t have the willpower to hold back in front of herText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
any longer, so he took off his shirt and went straight into the bathroom.Noting how anxious he was,
Winnie grew worried as she thought he was going to finish his shower quickly to join her in the
neighboring room. Thus, she acted fast and darted over to meet with Mason and Greta.The moment
she saw the two of them, she blurted, “We don’t have much time, so get to the point.”Mason answered
immediately, “We did find a bit of information. Our preliminary analysis informed us that it is the person
you’re looking for. However, there’s too little information about that person, so we can’t tell for sure.
Most importantly, though, the information you provided us isn’t much either.”“I see.” She was aware that
the original information she gave them wasn’t plenty. “Tell me what you found.”“Okay. The Southeast
Aploth market and Adrune market aren’t the same. There is a difference in terms of the drugs’ purity
andposition. While we didn’t find any unfamiliar facesing from Adrune during this period, we
did get our hands on some of Adrune’s drugs. It’s rtively rare in this area, so we followed the lead
and found some information. However, the information is so meager that I’m not sure if this is useful to
you at all.”“I understand.” Winnie nodded. “Continue.”“We continued to investigate those Adrune drugs
and found a name. Or perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it’s a codename—Big ck Bear.
Sadly, we couldn’t find out what they look like, how old they are, or if they are even a man or woman.
Don’t bother asking us about their tracks. We couldn’t find any.” “Very good!” Just hearing the words
“Big ck Bear” was enough for Winnie to know that her employment of Mason and Greta wasn’t in
vain. “Before you two arrived, I received some news, too. Unfortunately, the information I obtained was
more or less the same as what you two found. Aside from that codename, I know nothing else about
this person. However, I’m fine with theck of information so long as I know for sure they’re here. Oh
yeah, about the Adrune drugs you mentioned earlier. Where did it initiallye from? If we can figure
that out, we’ll be able to get a better grasp of Big ck Bear’s whereabouts.”“ording to the
information we found, the goods came from Lightspring. However, Lightspring is a ce with a lot of
human traffic, so I can’t be sure if he’s still there or not. At this point, he may not even still be in
Jipsdale.”“I understand.” Winnie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Regardless, there’s no doubt that
Lightspring is close to where the three most powerful drug lords in Jipsdale are located, right?”“Yep,
there’s no doubt about that.”“That’s good enough for me. I already have a n. I’ll need you two’s help
for whates next—”Winnie’s sentence was cut short by a loud bang from the neighboring room,
startling her.Since she was the only one sitting against the wall at the moment, she was the one who
heard the sound the clearest.Mason and Greta were shocked, too. They even went so far as to pull out
their guns.“What’s happening?” Greta couldn’t help but ask.In the blink of an eye, Winnie returned to
her senses and stood. “The sound came from the room next to this! I think something happened to my
husband!”Before the duo could even see her expression and movements, she practically flew out of the
room the second she stopped speaking.When the duo arrived at the neighboring room, Winnie was
already heading into the bathroom.The showerhead inside the bathroom was still turned on. However,
there wasn’t even a bit of warmth in the tiny bathroom. From that, it was obvious the water was
cold.The explosion-proof ss used as the shower partition was shattered. There was even blood
amidst the ss fragments.As for Xavier, his body was being pressed down on the wet floor by Winnie.
He was moving as though he wasn’t in control of his body. His bloodshot eyes certainly strengthened
that impression.“Should we… send him to the hospital?” Greta asked. “How did this explosion-proof
ss just explode?”“No need! Quickly, help me secure him and move him to the bed!” Winnie was
aware the ss hadn’t exploded for no reason.She was certain Xavier had punched the ss when his
condition acted up, as evidenced by his bleeding right knuckles.Winnie, Mason, and Greta worked
together and quickly brought Xavier to the bed.While Mason wasn’t as tall as Xavier, he was still pretty
burly. However, the rpsing Xavier was still plenty strong.It took thebined strength of Mason and
Greta to hold Xavier down, just barely.Greta was a woman, so after restricting Xavier for a while as he
violently struggled to break free, she swiftly began to feel tired. “What do we do next, Ms.
Gand?”“D*mn it! Where are my needles? Why can’t I find them?” As Winnie spoke, she searched
through the room.“What needles?”Winnie was in such dismay that she didn’t hear what Greta
said.Luckily, realization dawned on her soon enough. Wait! The room I stayed inst night was the one
next to this one! All my important luggage is there, not here!Without dy, she bolted to the other
room, grabbed her needles, and stabbed them into Xavier’s body.The effect of her acupuncture was
immediate. By the time she stabbed the seventh needle into his body, he was gradually drifting off.
After the tenth needle, his eyelids werepletely shut.Winnie let out a sigh of relief when she saw
that.Wiping the sweat on her forehead away, she calmly stabbed the rest of the needles into more than
a dozen acupoints on his head.Greta watched Winnie work from the side, dumbfounded. “Is this
Chanaea’s traditional medicine, Ms. Gand? It’s that powerful?”“Of course.” Winnie felt like her body
was almostpletely drained of energy upon jabbing thest needle. “This is the quintessence of my
country’s culture.”“Awesome!” Unable to hold herself back, Greta gave Winnie a thumbs up. Then she
thought about it and asked, “What kind of sickness does your husband have, Ms. Gand? His eyes
were red like a vampire’s. It looked so demonic.”Her words ticked Winnie off. With furrowed eyebrows,
she nced at Greta and uttered coldly, “Don’t pry into matters you don’t need to know. Go back to the
neighboring room. I’ll brief you two about your next mission.”When Xavier came to, it was already three
in the afternoon.He felt like he had had a very chaotic dream. However, he couldn’t remember any
details.As his temples throbbed, he moved to caress his head, only to notice his hand was wrapped in
thick gauze.It was a long whileter before he felt the sensation of paining from his hand.Then,
Winnie’s voice traveled into his ears. “You’re finally awake.”With a smile, Xavier grabbed her hand.
“Winnie.”There was aplicated look in her eyes as she stared at him. “Were you already feeling
unwell back when we were in the hospital? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”“Seems like I can’t hide
anything from you. Granny’s issue still hasn’t been resolved, and I know you’re feeling overwhelmed,
so I didn’t want to add to your worries.”“You should’ve told me! It’s dangerous if no one’s around you
when your condition acts up. You may end up hurting yourself or even others as a result. Do you know
what you did just now?”“No.” Xavier shook his head. “Although, based on my hand’s injury, I think I only
hurt myself. Thankfully, I didn’t hurt you.”“Are you stupid? You punched the bathroom’s explosion-proof
ss into pieces in a single blow! Look at how many cuts there are on your body. What if the shards
had pricked your eyes or any other important body parts? You’d be disabled!”Xavier hummed in
response, still grinning as he pulled Winnie’s hand to his lips and gave it a gentle kiss. “Strange. You
seem very gentle even when you’re reprimanding me today. Why’s that? Did you do something bad?”“I
don’t think it is.”“Hmm?” Immediately, Xavier frowned. “So you’re saying you did do something bad?
What did you do?”“I want to go to the Horton residence! Yulissa is as elusive as quicksilver, and her
whereabouts are too hard to pin down. We’ve only been here for five days, but she has lived here for
five years. I don’t think it’ll be easy to track her down. There’s an eighty percent chance that the venom
she injected into you was made by her grandfather, and I know he’s being held captive by Harold right
now. That’s why I want to go to the Horton residence and find Professor White as soon as possible to
cure you. You’re lucky this time since you only suffered minor injuries after hitting the ss. However, if
your condition acts up again, you may not be as fortunate. I don’t want you to keep living in this
extremely unstable condition! Don’t look at me like that. You know there’s no stopping me once I put my
mind to doing something.”Silence filled the air for a brief moment before he broke it. “I understand. Can
I at least know your n?”
