The housekeeper, standing at one side, nced at the young, gorgeous neer speechlessly.
Then, she uttered in disagreement, “How can you say that? Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild have a very strong
and healthy rtionship. Besides, Mrs. Fairchild’s condition will certainly be cured. Mr. and Mrs.
Fairchild are wealthy, so they will definitely find a way to treat her eyes. You are just a housekeeper
here who works for Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to say that?
You’ll have to face the consequences if they hear you and may even lose your job.”

work here. What you said made a lot of sense. Thank you for your reminder. I’ll avoid saying things like
that in the future. Still, not every disease in this world can be cured, not even if that person is rich.
Many loaded people ultimately died due to illnesses. Moreover, wealthier people tend to have more
fragile rtionships because they have the freedom to choose the better options. Unlike ordinary
couples who need to tolerate and support one another, affluent men can simply look for another wife as
they please. They can even engage in multiple rtionships with different women simultaneously.”The
other housekeeper was stumped. “What are you trying to say? Are you really here to work?” She felt
suspicious. “Don’t tell me you’re attempting to make a move on Mr. Fairchild? If that’s the case, I
suggest you drop the idea. You’re unworthy of him. Even if Mrs. Fairchild remains blind for the rest of
her life, you can’t hold a candle to her, not even with all your might.”The housekeeper spoke tantly,
and her words were quite hurtful. Still, the pretty maid smiled nonchntly. “Perhaps. But anything can
happen in this world.”That night, Xavier and Winnie held one another to sleep.That was also the best
sleep she had gotten in so many days.On the other hand, Xavier didn’t rest well because he couldn’t be
as optimistic as Winnie.While she was sound asleep, he sneaked out to puff on a cigarette.It had been
a long time since he hadst smoked, but he couldn’t resist the urge anymore after those few days.He
had to find a way to vent his annoyance, just like how he was puffing out the cigarette smoke.After
Xavier spent a few hours alone in the garden, Wilhelm arrived.Both men didn’t wish to interrupt
Winnie’s sleep, so they didn’t wake her up.Wilhelm was enraged when he saw Xavier.He grasped the
latter’s cor and gnashed his teeth in rage. “Didn’t you promise you would safeguard her? What
happened now? She lost her vision! Is this how you protect her even after you swore on it with your
life?”“I’m sorry.” Xavier didn’t make any excuse, as his failure to keep Winnie safe was a cold, hard
fact.Wilhelm’s anger red up whenever he was reminded of his little sister’s current condition.In fact,
he had gained a better understanding of the situation because Winnie had exined the circumstances
to him, and Xavier couldn’t be med for everything that had happened.Nevertheless, Wilhelm was still
mad at Xavier.He needed to teach thetter a lesson, so he punched him.Xavier didn’t retaliate and
merely endured Wilhelm’s wrath. After getting beaten by Wilhelm and falling to the ground, he got back
to his feet and stood before Wilhelm again.Wilhelm restrained himself after punching Xavier twice.
Subsequently, the two began drinking in depression and frustration.After finishing a bottle of alcohol,
Wilhelm rubbed his temples and said to Xavier, “Do something with the injury on your face.”Xavier
propped his head up wearily and responded, “That’s not necessary. Winnie can’t see it anyway. She
won’t notice anything if we don’t mention it.”“Whatever.” Wilhelm nced at Xavier. “Still, I should
inform you in advance that I’m bringing Winnie away.”Xavier lifted his head at once after hearing that.
“No! You can’t bring her away!”“Why are you so anxious?” Wilhelm shot a displeased look at Xavier. “I
haven’t even finished my sentence. I’m not talking about separating the two of you. I’m just nning to
bring her back to Yartran to seek medical attention. You can tag along after you make the necessary
arrangements at yourpany. It’s fine even if you’re not going. We’ll take good care of her, but I think
she will want you to keep herpany.”Xavier let out a sigh of relief upon being enlightened by
Wilhelm’s intention.He uttered firmly, “I’ll go. I’m tagging along wherever she goes.”“Okay. Arrange
somece for me to rest. I’ll meet with Winnie when she wakes up tomorrow morning. You shouldContent ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
clean up and get rid of the smell on your body before going back to apany her.”“All right.” Xavier
went to take a shower before returning to Winnie’s side.The next morning, Winnie woke up while lying
in Xavier’s embrace after being roused by the rm she had set.Now that she couldn’t tell the time by
looking at the color of the sky, she had to rely on rm clocks.She was slightly surprised because
Xavier had yet to wake up even though it was already eight o’clock in the morning.She reached out to
touch his face. “It’s time to wake up, youzy pig. How can you still be asleep when the sun is already
high in the sky?”When Winnie touched the wound on the corner of his lips, Xavier subconsciously
hissed in pain.Puzzled, she immediately retracted her arm and asked him while wearing a frown,
“What’s the matter? Where does it hurt? Is it the ce I touched?”Seeing Winnie withdrawing her arm,
he swiftly grabbed her fingers and ced her palm on his chest.“This ce is hurting. I’m in so much
pain.”“What’s going on? Why is this happening?”“That’s because my wife called me a pig.”Winnie was
rendered speechless. “I thought you were genuinely having chest pain.”Xavier chuckled and nted a
kiss on her forehead. He didn’t tell her about him getting beaten up by Wilhelmst night, but he
informed her of Wilhelm’s arrival at Lagune Mansion.Winnie was shocked. “So soon? As expected of
Wilhelm. I’ll go and meet with him now.”She was about to sit up as she spoke, but Xavier held her back
and gently kissed her lips. “There’s no need to hurry. He reached here in the middle of the night, so I
reckon he’s still sleeping soundly. I have something for you. Wait for a moment while I go get it.”“What
is it?” Winnie was curious.He pecked her on the lips. “You’ll know in a little while.”With that, he lifted the
nket and got off the bed before returning shortly after with an exquisite box in his hands.He furrowed
his brows at the sight of that delicate box. What’s the point even if it’s pretty? She can’t see it
anyway.He took out the item inside and tossed the expensive box into the trash can next to the
bed.“What exactly is it?” Winnie couldn’t help but ask again.Xavier sat beside her and uttered tenderly,
“This is a customized watch I ordered. Would you stretch out your hand, my dear?”
