Chapter 19
âPoor Ms. Xenos. She didnât have a daughter herself, and she ended up losing the girl she had painstakingly raised as her daughter.â
âRight? I remember Yvette as a smart and wellâbehaved girl. Why did she leave this world at such a young age?â
âLiving in a rich househâd isnât 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.â
âMs. Xenos and Yvette always talked about how good
Yvetteâs 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!â
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 Yvetteâs 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 Violaâs 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.
âWhere are they?â
Naturally, the people in Sangine County had never seen such
a spectacle before. They all sat up straight and kept their
heads low.
They didnât dare look at Xavier, who sat on the main seat with a regal bearing, looking moody.
âTwo nights ago, I hear Ms. Xenos crying. When I went to check up on her, I learned that Yvette had died.â
âThe death of a young person is a sad thing. That night, they cremated her and laid her to rest.â
Yvette had been laid to rest on that night itselfâ¦.
Xavierâs dark eyes narrowed.
âNo one knows where Ms. Xenos went after the burial.â
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.
âMr. Lane, should we go to the graveyard tomorrow?â

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 couldnât help but wonder. It was obvious to everyone that Xavier didnât 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. âDig it up!â
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
wouldnât 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. âHere, Mr. Lane.â
Xavier straightened up. In the dark, his expression couldnât be seen clearly. âTake it back.â
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 hadnât slept peacefully for several consecutive days. Even

now, as he leaned in his seat, he didnât 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.
âXav, can you hold me? Iâm coldâ¦
âMr. Lane, would you be sad if I died?â
âThe truth is⦠I hope you can be happyâ¦â
He didnât 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 wasnât anyone who couldnât live without a certain person.
When Xavier took Yvetteâs 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 wasnât the case for Xavier.
