Something was wrong. This had never happened to him before.His veins had never bulged like this before even when he was furious.When he turned on his front camera to take a look, he realized that even the whites of his eyes had turned red.He quickly called Josiah as he tried his best to suppress the roar bursting out of his chest.âI saw a video, and I know that Iâm angry. Iâm not angry to that extent, but I canât control myself. Even my body changed. Tell me, Josiah. What is happening to me? Can the hospital cure me? I canât even control myself right now. Isnât that ridiculous?ââWhere are you now?â
Josiahâs voice was full of anxiety. âI saw someone shared a video in the group chat, so I guess thatâs what you saw. Your condition is very unstable now. You didnât go to find Winnie and that man, did you?
Listen to me. You must not do that!ââI didnât! Iâm outside, not in the banquet hall. However, images of them together keep flashing in my mind. I even have thoughts about killing that man!ââOh, my God!
Donât!â Josiah was panicking. âYou have to get rid of that thought right now. Donât even think about it.
You have to come to the hospital immediately. Get someone to send you. Do not drive yourself. Do you hear me?âXavier took a few deep breaths as he clutched the phone tightly. Then, he answered Josiah, âGot it.ââAll right.â Josiah heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Xavierâs voice was normal.After hanging up, Xavier planned to call a driver to pick him up.However, he couldnât resist watching the video again when he unlocked his phone.In the video, the man put his dirty hands on Winnieâs shoulders. However, Winnie did not resist at all, and it even looked like she was enjoying it.Is this the only intimate contact they shared?Xavier could not help but recall the scene, and he even had more outrageous thoughts.He wondered if they had slept together, or if they had done something more intimate than that.Such thoughts grew in Xavierâs mind like overgrown weeds and soon took over his mind.Suddenly, he threw his phone onto the ground and stomped on it with his feet. He did not stop until the phone screen was smashed into pieces.After venting his anger, he headed toward the banquet hall.He completely forgot about the promise he made with Josiah.Josiah had been worrying about Xavier since they hung up.He felt that he should have stayed on the phone with Xavier to keep the latter under control. It didnât matter what they talked about. Xavier must not be left alone and allowed to overthink.However, this time, no matter how many times Josiah called Xavier, no one picked up the call.Josiah started to panic. He believed that Xavier had gone to find Winnie.Hence, he called Winnie.Winnie had also seen the intimate video of her and Nathaniel that went viral on the internet.After thinking about it, she concluded that someone must have secretly taken the video.She clearly remembered someone looking for their contact lenses outside her lounge before the celebration began. At that time, Nathaniel happened to be massaging her shoulders.The paparazzi were the best at speculating and twisting the truth. What was worse was that they were impossible to guard against.
However, Winnie did not take it to heart. It didnât matter whether they said her marriage was in a crisis or that she was delusional. She was not a celebrity in the entertainment industry and wouldnât be affected by some ridiculous rumors.Just as she was about to turn off her phone to focus on the show on stage, she suddenly received a call from Josiah.âBad Specky? Why did you call me?â she asked upon picking up.Josiah was in a panic. His voice shook as he spoke.âThereâs an emergency! Help me find Xavier and send him to my hospital, or you can calm him down first while I go over. Do it right now!âWinnie looked around subconsciously.âHeâs not with me now. We separated outside. At that time, he was anxious to make a call and left in a hurry. He didnât say what it was for or who he was calling.ââItâs me! I was the one he called. Dumbo, no, Winnie, listen to me. He has a strange disease, which is similar to mania but is much more severe. Sometimes, there is a trigger, but sometimes there isnât. I havenât found the cause of the disease yet, but what Iâm sure of is his manic episodes get worse every time. The last time it happened, he hurt Mr. Tanser but couldnât remember what happened afterward. Just now, he told me he didnât know why he suddenly grabbed your hand and hurt you. I thought it wasnât serious, but when we hung up, he saw a video of you with a foreigner, which caused a manic episode. I told him to come to the hospital to find me, and he agreed, but I canât get in touch with him now. I suspect heâs going to find you or that foreigner now. You must find him and calm him down immediately!âWinnie was dumbfounded. âYou⦠Youâre not joking?ââOf course not! Does this sound like a joke to you? Forget it. Iâll bring the medicine kit over. You help me find him!ââOkay. Iâll look for him right now!â Winnie hung up and quickly stood up.Nathaniel, who was beside her, immediately asked, âWhatâs wrong?ââNothing. Iâm going out for a while. You can continue watching.â Although she needed help right now, Nathaniel was not a suitable candidate.After exiting the hall, Winnie headed to the surveillance room.Through the surveillance footage, she saw Xavier heading to the banquet hall after smashing his phone.However, someone appeared out of nowhere and said something to Xavier. Then, Xavier left with him.After that, they went out of the scope covered by the surveillance cameras.Winnie had no choice but to get the security guards to find him.It did not take long for Winnie to find Xavierâs phone.The phone was smashed to pieces. It was no wonder that Josiah could not get through.When she recalled what Xavier was like in the surveillance footage, Winnie worried that something would happen to him. Hence, she immediately started her search at the east gate of the park with a security guard.She talked to several shop owners along the way, but no one had seen Xavier.In the end, she got a clue from an old woman who was picking up trash.The old woman pointed at an alley and said, âHeâs tall, right? I donât know if he was drunk or not feeling well, but he kept massaging his temples. I saw him going inside through that door.â
