He had always been the victim!

Winnie frowned. “Then why did he not tell me these things? Did he not plan to tell me at all?”

“Yes.” Josiah sighed. “Although he’s almost in his thirties, he doesn’t have much experience in dating. He knows you dislike him for being controlling toward you, but he cannot help himself. And now he is suffering from such a strange disease. In a broad sense, it can be said that he has a mental illness. He worries that if you find out that he is mentally ill, you will leave him. He is thinking of curing his illness first before he cleans up the mess of the Fairchild family. Only then can he completely focus on what he wants to do.”

Josiah spoke while casting a sideways glance at Winnie.

Then, he asked, “I see that your eyes are a little red and swollen. Would you like to put some ice on them?”

“It’s okay.” Winnie shook her head.

Josiah pursed his lips. “Did you cry just now? I believe you still have Xavier in your heart, right? Otherwise, why would your eyes be swollen from crying for him?”

Winnie frowned. “To be honest, Yulissa wanted to pierce me with those last dozen needles. Xavier was on the verge of breaking down at that time, but he still turned around and protected me.”

“You always see true love in the moment of adversity. You are the only one who can get this kind of treatment from him. If it were someone else, he would never have sacrificed himself.” Josiah looked at Winnie seriously. “Dumbo, some love is strong, obsessive, and passionate, just like how Xavier feels toward you. Perhaps you should reconsider your decision on your relationship with Xavier.”

“I know. I kept thinking about him when I was sitting here a moment ago,” Winnie uttered as she put her hand into the pocket of the windbreaker.

She quickly felt a mobile phone with a cracked screen and took it out. It was Xavier’s phone.

Winnie subconsciously pressed the button on the phone, and unexpectedly, the screen of the broken phone suddenly lit up.

The wallpaper of the phone was revealed.

Although the screen was cracked quite severely, the wallpaper was still discernable.

It was the only photo of her and Xavier.

The photo was taken on Sirona Island when they were barbecuing on the beach. It was the last time she played dumb in front of him.

The photo was taken after he strongly requested it.
