Chapter 19
“Poor Ms. Xenos. She didn’t have a daughter herself, and she ended up losing the girl she had painstakingly raised as her daughter.”
“Right? I remember Yvette as a smart and well–behaved girl. Why did she leave this world at such a young age?”
“Living in a rich househ’d isn’t always a good life. The last time I saw her here, she looked like a completely different person. She was so skinny that a gust of wind could have blown her away.”
‘Ms. Xenos and Yvette always talked about how good
Yvette’s husband was, but they were just lying to themselves and everyone else. During their three years of marriage, he, never came here with Yvette, not even once!”
Xavier felt a lump in his throat when he heard that.
However, even after he had waited for a day, Viola and Yvette. never came back.
He snoozed lightly while simply leaning back in a wooden chair. He had only fallen asleep for a short while when he woke up in shock.
He had dreamt of Yvette’s death once more. At that moment, he had really felt as though Yvette would never return again.
At 10:00 pm that night, all of Viola’s neighbors were taken to her house to undergo an interrogation. Numerous bodyguards dressed in black stood around, making the house

feel even smaller than it was.
“Where are they?”
Naturally, the people in Sangine County had never seen such
a spectacle before. They all sat up straight and kept their
heads low.
They didn’t dare look at Xavier, who sat on the main seat with a regal bearing, looking moody.
“Two nights ago, I hear Ms. Xenos crying. When I went to check up on her, I learned that Yvette had died.”
“The death of a young person is a sad thing. That night, they cremated her and laid her to rest.”
Yvette had been laid to rest on that night itself….
Xavier’s dark eyes narrowed.
“No one knows where Ms. Xenos went after the burial.”
The others also began to chime in. Mark asked them again where Claude had gone, but they just looked at each other. None of them knew where he had gone.
They explained that Claude was an orphan; one day, he had been taken away and had never returned again.
It was now 12:03 am. It was still raining heavily, with flashing lightning followed by claps of thunder. The countryside only had dirt roads, which made travel quite difficult.
“Mr. Lane, should we go to the graveyard tomorrow?”

After laboring away for the past few days, Mark was reaching his limit.
Xavier gave him a look.
Mark immediately shut up. Holding up the umbrella, he trailed after Xavier carefully.
However, on the inside, he couldn’t help but wonder. It was obvious to everyone that Xavier didn’t like Yvette, so why was he spending so muc ime and energy trying to find her?
Finally, they arrived at the graveyard. Xavier immediately spotted the lone new grave at the top of the hill. His throat tightened, and he stopped in his tracks.
After a long moment, he finally spoke. “Dig it up!”
If Yvette was alive, he wanted to find her. If she was dead, he wanted to see her body! Until he saw Yvette dead, he
wouldn’t believe it!
In the dark night, Xavier watched quietly, with a chilly expression on his face, as the new grave was dug up, bit by bit. His heart was in his throat.
Finally, a bodyguard came to him with an urn. “Here, Mr. Lane.”
Xavier straightened up. In the dark, his expression couldn’t be seen clearly. “Take it back.”
On the way back, he was very quiet. He had never been one to hide his emotions, but that day, no one could guess whether he was happy or sad.
He hadn’t slept peacefully for several consecutive days. Even

now, as he leaned in his seat, he didn’t feel tired at all.
He watched the town Yvette had grown up in fly past him outside the car window. All he could think of was her face. Her voice seemed to echo in his ear.
“Xav, can you hold me? I’m cold…
“Mr. Lane, would you be sad if I died?”
“The truth is… I hope you can be happy…”
He didn’t know why his unroat was starting to hurt.
No one saw the reddened eyes in the reflection of his handsome face in the car window. In this world, there wasn’t anyone who couldn’t live without a certain person.
When Xavier took Yvette’s ashes back, everyone who knew her thought that she was dead. Even after they found Claude, the outcome was still the same.
After shedding a few tears, everyone returned to their peaceful lives.
However, that wasn’t the case for Xavier.
