Since the bodyguard had opened up an opportunity for Winnie to rescind her request, she changed her tune. “Ah, I’m sorry, Handsome. I forgot your leg’s injured. I don’t want you to carry me anymore. How about I carry you instead?”

As she spoke, she bent down in front of Xavier.

He patted her head. There was a look of affection, joy of regaining something precious back, and possessiveness in his eyes. “There’s no way you can carry me on your back, Dumbo.”

“Then I’ll help you walk!” Winnie couldn’t bear to let him carry her with a broken leg, so she reluctantly decided to be nice to him.

“What should we do with him, Mr. Fairchild?” The bodyguard pointed at Hayden.

Xavier’s glance landed on Winnie first before he said, “Teach him a lesson that he’ll never forget. The rest will wait after we leave the island.”

“Understood!” The bodyguard promptly dragged Hayden to a remote location.

With Winnie’s and the driver’s combined help, Xavier was able to leave the beach.

The driver directly sent him and Winnie to the local hospital.

Initially, she didn’t want to visit the doctor, but Xavier insisted. Additionally, when the doctor was giving her a checkup, he was guarding the door outside. Despite his severe leg injury, he refused to go first.

It wasn’t until the result of her check-up had been released that his tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed.

Winnie acted pitifully when she saw him. “My shoulder is in pain, Handsome. I want you to blow my pain away.”

Basically, she wanted him to blow on her injury as though she was a child playing house.

Even though it was childish, Xavier went along with it without hesitation after the look in his eyes darkened. “Okay, I’ll do that after we go back.”

Winnie stared at him silently. Something’s not right. When I teased him in the past, he’d at least try to hold himself back. Now, it seems like he has changed, as though he had been freed from an invisible shackle.
