Yet, Stuart laid all the blame on Zyon.
Now that Zyon was on the run, Xavier was worried that Zyon would turn into a dangerous time bomb that threatened him and those he cared about.
For that reason, most of his time and energy was spent locating Zyon and taking precautions against the threat he posed. Aside from that, Xavier even had to deal with the employees who betrayed the company.
There was simply no time for him to take the initiative to contact Winnie.
Currently, with the Garland Group’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration around the corner, he decided to use this chance to meet Winnie.
At that thought, Xavier was filled with anticipation.
However, if he decided to make time for that night to see Winnie, he would have to deal with a portion of his work early.
“I’ll be heading back now, Grandpa. You must stay vigilant and careful as long as Zyon is still on the run.”
“Got it.” Rufus dismissed Xavier with a wave. “You can carry on with your work. Don’t worry about me.”
“Okay,” Xavier answered and got up.
Perhaps it was because of the abruptness of his movements that he suddenly felt discomfort in his chest. His temples also throbbed as if his brain’s veins and nerves had expanded suddenly.
It was not the first time something like this had happened.
Rufus immediately got up and held him after seeing how Xavier seemed unwell.
“What’s the matter? Haven’t your legs recovered fully? If it can’t be helped for the moment, use the wheelchair instead. You merely rested your legs for a month. You shouldn’t be forcing yourself, or there would be recurring problems in the future.”
“It’s not my legs.” Xavier, too, had no idea what was the cause of the problem.
He remembered that the first time this vein-popping feeling and untamed madness struck him was when he was in Aqua Moana.
It happened when Winnie brought Christopher back home for a meal. When he saw it, he felt that Winnie was keeping secrets from him. In that split second, anger consumed him, and he was reduced to this frenzied state all of a sudden.
What happened next was a shouting match between him and Winnie. He even forced a kiss on her. At that moment, he was only an inch away from losing control and crossing the line.
Ever since that day, this similar violent feeling would always get the better of him whenever the company encountered any rage-inducing matters.
I didn’t run into anything that was infuriating today, so why am I feeling it again?
Xavier could tell something was amiss, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
After leaving the Fairchild residence in haste, Xavier immediately contacted Josiah.
He described his situation to Josiah, and he was suggested to meet him in the hospital immediately.
Without further delay, Xavier quickly went for a blood test in the hospital.
Yet, the result was completely normal. Josiah did not find anything abnormal in Xavier’s blood sample.
