The sight of the huge mess at home saddened Winnie.Tears were welling up in her eyes, and Josiah
could tell she was deeply hurt.“Are you okay, Winnie?” he asked with concern, his brows knitted.Winnie
looked up and did her best to hold back her tears, forcing herself to remain rational.With a choking
voice, she said, “I’m fine. Please check on Mary while I go get the first aid kit.”“Sure!” Josiah
immediately knelt down next to Mary to attend to her.In a sh, Winnie rushed back with the first aid kit
and handed it to Josiah.While dressing Mary’s wound, Josiah stated, “Mary has lost consciousness due
to excessive loss of blood. Judging from this, Jacinta must have left quite a while ago. Mary’s wound is
pretty deep, so we need to get her to the hospital to stitch it up. I’ll send her there now.”Winnie frowned
and nodded. “Okay, let’s get going. It’ll be faster if you carry her on your back. I’ll help her up.”Josiah
uttered his consent, and in no time, he managed to get Mary onto his back with Winnie’s help.As he
walked out of the room, he said to Winnie, “I guess I can’t check the surveince footage with you but
keep me posted. Remember, two heads are better than one.”“Okay. Let me walk you out.” Winnie
nodded as she walked out with Josiah.Previously, she had installed surveince cameras at home, but
after Jacinta moved in, she removed them.Jacinta hadined that those surveince cameras
made her feel uneasy, so Winnie removed all of them except for the camera that faced the elevator.She
had already checked the footage from that camera, but all she could see was Jacinta getting out of the
ce in a hurry.The recording showed Jacinta had left about an hour ago.At that time, Winnie and
Josiah were at Rufus’ ce, trying to get a better picture of the situation.If Jacinta had nned to run
away with Stuart, Winnie figured they should have already made their way out of town, given that
Jacinta had left more than an hour ago.As such, she immediately mobilized her contacts to check for
records of any purchase of tickets under Jacinta and Stuart’s names.At the same time, she also looked
through the surveince footage of her residential area.Unfortunately, she did not uncover any useful
information from the surveince footage as well. All the cameras merely captured Jacinta moving
around by herself.Winnie knew it was impossible for her to get hold of other surveince footage that
could have tracked Jacinta’s movement beyond the residential area. Even if she was to engage the
help of professional hackers, she would need some time to contact them and get the task done.Just as
she was about to make a call to ask for help, she received a call from Rufus.Winnie immediately picked
up the call. “Yes, Grandpa Rufus? What’s up?”Rufus did not respond to her question. Instead, he
asked, “Where are you, Winnie? Are you still at the hospital?”“No, I’m already home.” A frowning
Winnie added, “What’s wrong?”Solemnly, Rufus said, “You have gone home? I’m sure you don’t see
your granny around, right?”“That’s right! How did you know?” Winnie was surprised.“She’s here with
me.”“What?” Winnie eximed in shock. “You’re not kidding me, are you, Grandpa Rufus? Did she call
you before she went over? What’s going on?”“She’s here at the Fairchild residence.” “O-Okay… I’m
coming over now.” Winnie was still in disbelief. She thought Jacinta would go to Stuart, so it never
crossed her mind that her grandmother would head to the Fairchild residence to look for Rufus
instead.As she was heading out, she asked with concern, “Grandpa Rufus, my granny didn’t do
anything bad to you, did she? Whatever she may have done, please do not get mad. Just keep her
confined, and we’ll work it out when I get there, okay?”Rufus readily agreed and said, “No problem. I’ll
wait for you to get here. Don’t worry, Winnie. Your granny didn’t harm me, and I’m not out to hurt her
either.”“Great! Thank you, Grandpa Rufus!” Winnie gratefully said as she got into her car.After she
ended the call with Rufus and started her engine to drive off, another call came in. It was Josiah.“How
did it go? Is there any useful information from the surveince footage?” he asked.“No, but Grandpa
Rufus called me a while ago and told me Granny is at the Fairchild residence,” Winnie informed as she
drove.“Oh?” Josiah was taken aback too. “We just came from the Fairchild residence! Never thought
your granny would head there! I hope she didn’t give them any trouble.”“No, she didn’t. I’ve asked
Grandpa Rufus to wait for me so we can work it out together.”“Let me join you there! The ambnce
met me midway and took over from there, so Mary is on her way to the hospital with the emergency
workers.” Josiah paused briefly before adding, “By the way, the result of the DNA test is out, and I’ve
seen the report. Indeed, Jacinta and Stuart are rted. They’re mother and son.”Winnie fell silent for a
moment before saying, “Okay. I’ve expected it to be so.”Following another pause, she said, “I’ll
probably reach in about half an hour. What about you?”“I’ll reach in less than twenty minutes, so I’ll wait
for you,” Josiah replied.Half an hourter, Winnie arrived at the Fairchild residence.Josiah was already
waiting for her at the gate, so the two of them immediately drove in.When they entered Rufus’ study,
they saw Jacinta sitting quietly on the chair. It was apparent that she was being kept in ce by the two
men behind her.As promised, Rufus and his men did not hurt her.Winnie couldn’t help but feel
despondent when she saw Jacinta.Despite having mentally prepared herself on her way there, Winnie
still could not maintain herposure when she saw Jacinta in person. As a mere mortal, it was
impossible for her to be in full control of her emotions all the time.“Granny, do you know how much
blood Mary was losing? If I had reached her a littleter, she could have died. What happened to you?
How could you betray her trust and harm an innocent soul? Did you do that because of Stuart?” Winnie
tried hard to maintain her calm as she confronted Jacinta.“Are you going to just sit there quietly? Why
did you evene here if you don’t want to talk to us? Or is it me that you are reluctant to talk to?
Why? Are you still mad at me, or are you feeling guilty?” she continued to rant. “You’re already in
Grandpa Rufus’ hands, so how much longer are you going to maintain your silence? Please, Granny,
please talk. Whatever the problem is, let’s find a solution together. Can we not resort to underhanded
means? Stuart is not a good guy, so can you please stop helping him?”Winnie made a long and sincere
plea that finally made Jacinta look her in the eye.Emotionlessly, Jacinta said, “Why bring Stuart into the
picture? I’m not rted to him in any way.”
