Not only that, but the place looked as though it had been ransacked.

“Could it be a break-in?” Josiah speculated as he pulled open the door.

However, the door was still perfectly locked. It didn’t look as if anyone had forced their way into the house.

“What exactly happened? The door is fine, though.” Josiah tried to push the door forcefully from another direction, but the door still wouldn’t budge.

“Let me try. Master once told me that the password is Harrison’s birthday,” Winnie said as she stopped Josiah in time.

“His grandson’s birthday? Do you know when it is?”

Winnie furrowed her brows. “Don’t rush me. I need to think.”

With that, she closed her eyes and tried digging through her memories.

Soon, a series of numbers popped up in her mind.

She quickly keyed in the numbers on the lock pad. As expected, the door opened with a click.

After that, they immediately went to check on Sebastian’s condition.

Seeing that his breathing and complexion were normal, Winnie breathed a sigh of relief.

“This doesn’t look like a sudden illness. There isn’t any external injury to Master’s brain either. But why did he faint out of the blue?” she asked while pinching Sebastian’s philtrum acupoint.

Not long after that, Sebastian’s eyelids moved a little.

“It’s working! Continue doing it, but a little harder this time,” Josiah said.

Winnie did as he said. A few moments later, Sebastian opened his eyes.

Everything looked blurry to Sebastian for a few seconds before he could focus normally, and he could finally see Winnie and Josiah in front of him.

“Nini… You’re back! H-Hurry! Go check on Xavier!”

“What happened to him?” Winnie was shocked to hear what Sebastian said. She couldn’t believe that she had forgotten about Xavier because all she thought about was Sebastian’s condition.

“Here…” Sebastian said wearily as he took out a thin syringe.

Josiah recognized the item with just one look. “I gave him this tranquilizer. Why do you have it?”

Sebastian stood up slowly with Winnie’s help. “There was a little accident when I removed the needles from him. In the end, it triggered the nerves in his brain. After that, he had a relapse and started to become aggressive. Even then, he had strong self-control. He gave me this tranquilizer and asked me to inject him with it. At that time, I almost injected all the medication into his body, but who would’ve thought he would go berserk at the last second? He grabbed the syringe from my hand and injected the last few bits of the medication into my body. After that, he started messing up the entire place. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn’t move because of the tranquilizer. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t know how long I would have continued lying unconscious on the ground.”

Winnie’s expression changed after she heard that.

However, she was still able to think logically. “Usually, when someone in a frenzied state rushes out of the room, there’s no way he will close the door behind him. But the door was perfectly locked when we came in, so he should still be here. Master, please sit down and rest. I’ll look for him with Josiah.”

“Go on! Don’t worry about me. I’m sober now.”

“Okay,” Winnie said before she dashed toward the consultation room.

The room was small, so she didn’t leave any spots unchecked. Even so, there was still no sign of Xavier.

Suddenly, Josiah shouted from another room, “Winnie! I found him! He’s here!”

“Where?” Immediately, she ran out.

“Here!”
