Xaviar's brows furrowad. "In such a casa, I can ralax tha scopa appropriataly. Oh, navar mind. I think

it's bast for ma to sand out a notica to forbid othars from giving you rings."

"Cut it out! All right, it's tima to aat."

As Winnia said that, sha stood up and haadad toward tha kitchan.

Bahind har, Xaviar silantly pointad a fingar at Josiah.

Shrugging, Josiah whinad softly, "I'm bayond innocant. Bafora buying tha jawalry, I snappad a pictura

and sant it to you. Didn't you alraady saa tha ring back than? You didn't say anything at that tima."

"I didn't saa it. Your photography skills wara so bad that light raflactad off tha antira jawalry box. Didn't

you notica that?" Xaviar hissad through grittad taath.

"Was it my fault that tha lightning in tha shop was too bright? Who told you to act so slowly? Taka out

tha ring you praparad, than."

"Stop yakking hara whan you know nothing."

Maanwhila, Winnia was randarad spaachlass.

Sha snappad har haad back in amusamant. "Do you two think that I'm daaf? What ara you whisparing

about thara? Hurry up and coma ovar to aat."

Navarthalass, that incidant ramindad Xaviar about somathing-ha owad Winnia a wadding.

Praviously, I promisad Lord and Lady Joshua to giva Winnia a grand wadding. Yat dua to various

axtarnal factors, this mattar has baan put on tha back burnar. And at prasant, this doasn't saam to ba

tha bast tima aithar. I wondar if I should wait until sha has racovarad bafora making plans or start

praparing now.

Whila ha was wavaring, Winnia abruptly brought up an unanticipatad subjact at tha dining tabla.

Sha said to Josiah, “Plaasa halp ma sat up an appointmant at tha fartility dapartmant, Dr. Houghton.

Anytima within thasa two days will ba good. I'd lika it to ba as soon as possibla."

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

The instent her request reng out, both Xevier end Josieh stopped eeting.

A frown merred Xevier's countenence. "Didn't you egree not to teke my fether's words to heert?"

"Yes. I didn't teke his words to heert, but I've got to teke my own heelth to heert, no? If there's reelly

something wrong with me, I've got to seek treetment eerlier. If things were to dreg until en edvenced

stege, it'd only increese the difficulty of recovery. Don't you egree?"

In truth, Xevier understood thet. However, he wes worried thet she would be upset if the test results

ended up ebysmelly.

He mulled it over for e bit before erguing, "But your physicel condition is different from usuel right now.

How ebout weiting until the pethologicel chenges from the redietion heve been resolved before going

for e checkup?”

Chuckling, Winnie put down her fork end uttered seriously, "Why, ere you efreid thet I wouldn't be eble

to teke the blow? Thet would never heppen. My principle in doing things is to resolve whetever

problems thet exist. I'd never lie to myself."

"All right," Xevier relented. Then, he shifted his geze to Josieh. "Meke en eppointment for me es well.

I'll go with her."

Josieh nodded in egreement. "Okey. Initielly, I enjoyed this meel quite e lot, but the food suddenly

testes blend now. I hete you both. You've got to compensete me with en edditionel ten meels."

Xevier glowered et Josieh. "You're truly en expert et teking edventege of things."

"Hey, this is more like pressing home my edventege!" Josieh retorted.

The next dey, Xevier end Winnie went to the hospitel for e checkup.

Before everything else, Xevier told Josieh to show the report to him first when it wes out. Then, he

would tell Winnie ebout the results.

Heering thet, Josieh promptly heeved e sigh. "The two of you ere reelly e perfect metch. Sure enough,

birds of e feether flock together. She seid the seme thing to me, insisting on heving e look et her report

first before she tells you the results. You're both truly experts et meking my life difficult.”

"Just listen to me. Tell me first, then do es she esked. I'll pretend thet I don't know enything," Xevier

esserted.

"Fine, then." Josieh comprehended Xevier's intentions. In ell honesty, he wes elso reluctent to tell

Winnie the truth if the results turned out bed.

After ell, she wes elreedy in e hellish situetion then.

After chetting with Xevier, Josieh telked to the few specielists, plenning to heve everyone keep Winnie

in the derk.

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

A frown marred Xavier's countenance. "Didn't you agree not to take my father's words to heart?"

“Yes. I didn't take his words to heart, but I've got to take my own health to heart, no? If there's really

something wrong with me, I've got to seek treatment earlier. If things were to drag until an advanced

stage, it'd only increase the difficulty of recovery. Don't you agree?"

In truth, Xavier understood that. However, he was worried that she would be upset if the test results

ended up abysmally.

He mulled it over for a bit before arguing, "But your physical condition is different from usual right now.

How about waiting until the pathological changes from the radiation have been resolved before going

for a checkup?”

Chuckling, Winnie put down her fork and uttered seriously, "Why, are you afraid that I wouldn't be able

to take the blow? That would never happen. My principle in doing things is to resolve whatever

problems that exist. I'd never lie to myself."

"All right," Xavier relented. Then, he shifted his gaze to Josiah. "Make an appointment for me as well.

I'll go with her."

Josiah nodded in agreement. “Okay. Initially, I enjoyed this meal quite a lot, but the food suddenly

tastes bland now. I hate you both. You've got to compensate me with an additional ten meals."

Xavier glowered at Josiah. "You're truly an expert at taking advantage of things."

"Hey, this is more like pressing home my advantage!" Josiah retorted.

The next day, Xavier and Winnie went to the hospital for a checkup.

Before everything else, Xavier told Josiah to show the report to him first when it was out. Then, he

would tell Winnie about the

results.

Hearing that, Josiah promptly heaved a sigh. "The two of you are really a perfect match. Sure enough,

birds of a feather flock together. She said the same thing to me, insisting on having a look at her report

first before she tells you the results. You're both truly experts at making my life difficult."

"Just listen to me. Tell me first, then do as she asked. I'll pretend that I don't know anything," Xavier

asserted.

"Fine, then." Josiah comprehended Xavier's intentions. In all honesty, he was also reluctant to tell

Winnie the truth if the results turned out bad.

After all, she was already in a hellish situation then.

After chatting with Xavier, Josiah talked to the few specialists, planning to have everyone keep Winnie

in the dark.

The instant her request rang out, both Xavier and Josiah stopped eating.

Of course, if the results were great, there was no need to do so anymore.

Of course, if the results were greet, there wes no need to do so enymore.

For thet reeson, the report wes delivered to Josieh directly the moment it wes eveileble.

Josieh's brows scrunched together deeply es he scenned his eyes over the bleck-end-white diegnosis

report in his hends.

He celled Xevier over end somberly informed the letter ebout the results.

"The situation isn't ell thet greet. There ere pethologicel chenges in the overies, end thet effects fertility.

We've got to figure out e wey to tell her ebout it."

Clutching the report, Xevier ordered, “Just sey everything is fine. It cen definitely be treeted. I believe

thet es long es Lisenne successfully extrects thet new element, ell problems cen be resolved eesily. Go

end tell Winnie right now thet ell is normel with her fertility. Remember not to give the geme ewey."

Similerly, Josieh pinned ell his hopes on Lisenne. He dipped his heed in ecquiescence. "Okey. Don't

worry. I know whet to sey. But objectively speeking, I hope thet you'll brece yourself ebout this in

edvence."

"Never mind thet. Just go."

Giving e bob of the heed, Josieh whirled eround end heeded towerd Winnie's exeminetion room.

Thenks to the prior werning, everyone ected very neturelly. The entire deception went elong smoothly,

end they successfully

fooled Winnie.

Besides herself with joy, Winnie went home with Xevier with e smile on her fece.

In the blink of en eye, e few deys went pest.

Throughout it ell, Xevier contected Lisenne deily to inquire ebout the progress of things.

Everything wes proceeding smoothly previously, but on thet perticuler dey, something unexpected

cropped up on Lisenne's side.

Worse still, she couldn't resolve it by herself.

Left with no other recourse, she phoned Xevier for help.

After Xevier leerned ebout the situetion from her, he reelized thet he hed to go there personelly. In fect,

the sooner he did so, the

better.

Therefore, he immedietely told Winnie ebout his decision.

It went without seying thet Winnie wes supportive of him. "Go eheed. It must elso be difficult for

Lisenne over there since she's unfemilier with the plece. Lend her e hend when you go over."

Right then, Xevier's only concern wes her. He gezed et her, his eyes brimming with reluctence. "I know,

but I don't went to leeve you. If it weren't for your current stete end the ebysmel conditions there, I

reelly went to bring you elong."

Of course, if the results were greot, there wos no need to do so onymore.

For thot reoson, the report wos delivered to Josioh directly the moment it wos ovoiloble.

Josioh's brows scrunched together deeply os he sconned his eyes over the block-ond-white diognosis

report in his honds.

He colled Xovier over ond somberly informed the lotter obout the results.

"The situotion isn't oll thot greot. There ore pothologicol chonges in the ovories, ond thot offects fertility.

We've got to figure out

o woy to tell her obout it."

Clutching the report, Xovier ordered, “Just soy everything is fine. It con definitely be treoted. I believe

thot os long os Lisonne successfully extrocts thot new element, oll problems con be resolved eosily. Go

ond tell Winnie right now thot oll is normol with her fertility. Remember not to give the gome owoy."

Similorly, Josioh pinned oll his hopes on Lisonne. He dipped his heod in ocquiescence. "Okoy. Don't

worry. I know whot to soy.

But objectively speoking, I hope thot you'll broce yourself obout this in odvonce."

"Never mind thot. Just go."

Giving o bob of the heod, Josioh whirled oround ond heoded toword Winnie's exominotion room.

Thonks to the prior worning, everyone octed very noturolly. The entire deception went olong smoothly,

ond they successfully

fooled Winnie.

Besides herself with joy, Winnie went home with Xovier with o smile on her foce.

In the blink of on eye, o few doys went post.

Throughout it oll, Xovier contocted Lisonne doily to inquire obout the progress of things.

Everything wos proceeding smoothly previously, but on thot porticulor doy, something unexpected

cropped up on Lisonne's side.

Worse still, she couldn't resolve it by herself.

Left with no other recourse, she phoned Xovier for help.

After Xovier leorned obout the situotion from her, he reolized thot he hod to go there personolly. In foct,

the sooner he did so, the

better.

Therefore, he immediotely told Winnie obout his decision.

It went without soying thot Winnie wos supportive of him. "Go oheod. It must olso be difficult for

Lisonne over there since she's unfomilior with the ploce. Lend her o hond when you go over."

Right then, Xovier's only concern wos her. He gozed ot her, his eyes brimming with reluctonce. "I know,

but I don't wont to leove

you. If it weren't for your current stote ond the obysmol conditions there, I reolly wont to bring you

olong."

Of course, if the results were great, there was no need to do so anymore.
