Winnie led Jacinta out of the doctor’s office.

Glancing at the sign hung above the corridor, Jacinta asked, “Winnie, I’m going to the restroom. Do you want to come along?”

Winnie refused since she had a feeling Nate might come out anytime. “I’ll pass. I don’t want Nate to come out and find no one around.”

“Okay, then I’m going. I may need a while. When I’m done, I’ll go straight to his ward to find you.”

“All right. If we settle things fast, I’ll wait for you outside the restroom. Go ahead.”

Jacinta agreed and soon reached the restroom.

After finding the innermost cubicle and confirming there was no one around, she immediately called someone.

Her call went through almost immediately, and she lowered her voice, “Hello, Stuart. I discovered something. Today, Winnie and I met that crazy woman. She wanted to kill Winnie because Xavier punished her for offending Winnie. I bet she resents Xavier, so I think we can use her.”

After a pause, she continued, “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. However, you need to think of a way to release her. She has already been captured, but if there’s proof that she’s mentally disabled, she won’t need to go to jail… I know it’s tough, but we must try. I can’t possibly throw a flower pot again, right? He and Winnie have been inseparable lately, and I don’t want to hurt her accidentally… Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll inform you after I find out Xavier’s schedule.”

Meanwhile, Nate stepped out of his attending physician’s office. His face was horridly pale, but he still forced a smile upon seeing Winnie waiting for him in the corridor.

Glancing at him, Winnie commented mercilessly, “Don’t smile if you don’t feel like it. You look so ugly.”
