Stuart was hit in the chest by a bullet, but he was not dead.

Death was not the best punishment for him. After he woke up, he would face the consequences of committing intentional homicide and get sentenced to life imprisonment.

As for Jacinta, she suffered physical and psychological shocks and could not accept the fact that her biological son wanted to kill her. She was utterly devastated and completely lost her mind.

Although she temporarily escaped from getting a prison sentence, she would be spending her life in a psychiatric hospital. Even if she recovered and got discharged, she would face legal sanctions as long as she was alive.

This was the ending for the pair of mother and son.

When Winnie visited Jacinta at the psychiatric hospital, the latter did not recognize her.

Looking at her grandmother, Winnie frowned as sorrow filled her heart.

Xavier stayed by her side for the entire day.

Not wanting to see the woman he loved upset, he held her hand tightly and said, “Today’s visiting hours are over. I’ll bring you here another day. Let’s go somewhere to relax tomorrow. Where do you want to go?”

Winnie was not in the mood to go anywhere. She shook her head lightly. “I don’t want to go anywhere now. I’ve been thinking about something for the past few days.”

“What is it?”

“I was thinking that if I hadn’t brought Granny here and taken the initiative to help her find her grandson, would the ending be different from what it is now?”

“Winnie.” Xavier stopped in his tracks and looked at her seriously. “Why would you have such thoughts? I think your grandmother would have come here even without you.”
