Chapter 244
Xavierâs mind went blank. âHas anyone been sent to search for them?â
âWeâve searched everywhere, but thereâs no sign of them, sir.â
Xavier gripped his phone tightly. In that instant, all his hopes had been shattered. After hanging up, he calmly told the driver, âStep on it.â
âYes, sir.â
The driver hadnât realized the gravity of the situation and was promptly ordered out of the car within a minute. Xavier took the wheel himself, flooring the gas pedal as if his life depended on it, racing toward
Fortian Manor.
On the way, he called his bodyguards. âFind Yvette immediately. If you canât find her, you might as well die!
Although there were only 20 minutes left in the drive, the journey felt interminably long. He kept dialing Yvetteâs number, but there was no answer each time. His eyes grew red.
Finally arriving at Fortian Manor, Xavier rushed inside. The nanny, trembling, handed him a letter and two blood test reports. The letter was written in elegant handwriting.
âXavier, I would have left Tirion by the time you read this letter. Please donât look for me. I beg you. We both know thereâs no love between us, so why make each other miserable? You didnât love me. For that, I donât hate or blame you. I know I had gotten the wrong person.â
Gotten the wrong person? What did she mean by that?
Xavierâs hands trembled as he held the letter.
âBefore I leave, I donât want to be overshadowed anymore. Whether you believe it or not, I need to tell you the truth. I was the one who saved Tristan and Madam Shannon back then. If you donât believe me, look at the blood test reports. One is mine, and the other is Daphneâs
âIf Iâm not wrong. Madam Shannonâs blood type is 0, like mine. Daphneâs blood type is A; she couldnât have donated blood to your mother.â
Yvette had gone to great lengths to obtain Daphneâs blood test report.
âIf you donât believe the report I gave you, you can check for yourself. Hereâs everything I wanted to say. Take care, and goodbye.â
The last word stung sharply.
Xavier didnât look at the blood test reports; he only wanted to find Yvette and ask why she had left again. He knew he hadnât behaved like he had in the past.
Holding the letter, Xavier mobilized everyone to search for Yvette and went out himself as well. He didnât sleep for an entire day.
In the early morning, the entire city of Tirion was covered in snow. Xavier sat in his car, listening to his
subordinatesâ reports on the phone.
âViola Xenos, who was originally staying in Asnea, disappeared half a month ago. Ms. Snyder hasnât

returned to Asnea.â
Half a month ago.
It turned out that Yvette had been planning to leave since then.
Half a month ago, he had been thinking of spending a month with her and making her reluctant to leave
him.
At that moment, his secretary called to inform him that the transfer procedures for Snyder Residence had been completed. Xavier said nothing and drove to Snyder Residence. This was the place he had first brought Yvette back to Dewberry Manor.
As he stepped out of the car, Mark held an umbrella for him. âRest assured, Mr. Lane. Weâll find her.â
âYou should rest.â
âAnd you, sir?â Mark asked, puzzled.
âI have something to take care of.â
Xavier was unusually calm, but this calmness was unsettling. After Mark left, Xavier stood alone in the
Snow.
In the morning, when Mark returned, he saw a large snowman outside Snyder Residence. Xavier was still
there.
He stepped out and asked Mark, âDoes it look nice? She used to love making snowmen. Isnât it childish?â
