Winnie thought Lisanne’s words made sense as well. She looked at Xavier and said, “Let’s listen to Lisanne’s advice. To be honest, I think the best time to do so is when we bring Christopher back home.”

“You’re right.” Xavier nodded with a frown on his face.

Right then, Lisanne—who was sitting across from Winnie and Xavier—got up abruptly and looked in the direction behind Winnie and Xavier nervously.

Winnie turned around subconsciously and looked behind her. Xavier also followed suit and turned around.

Then, they saw a married couple in their fifties who were supporting each other while standing around two meters away from Winnie and the rest.

At that moment, Lisanne spoke. “Mr. Bennett, Mdm. Sullivan, didn’t you already go upstairs? Why did you come back?”

It seemed like the old couple didn’t hear Lisanne’s question at all. They simply strode toward Lisanne and the rest anxiously.

Then, they walked directly to Xavier.

Xavier got to his feet to show them his respect.

Seeing Xavier, who was a complete stranger, standing in front of him, Christopher’s father clenched his wife’s hand and asked in a trembling voice, “Sir, we’re here to get something from Lisanne and overheard you saying you want to apologize to us. We even heard Lisanne saying that she worries we can’t handle the truth of what happened to Christopher. Can you tell me what exactly is going on?”

Xavier stood before the old couple and lowered his head.

He knew there was no way for him to delay this matter any further. Thus, he said guiltily, “Professor Bennett, Professor Sullivan, I’m sorry. I’m actually responsible for Captain Bennett’s sacrifice as well. I’m not asking for your forgiveness today. All I want is to reduce the pain you’re suffering from the loss.”

Previously, Xavier had already checked Christopher’s family background and found out his parents were both university professors. Therefore, he addressed them as such.
