Chapter 263

Yahir was a man who was in his forties. He was tanned, skinny, and had sunken eyes, looking like a skeleton covered

with a layer of skin. His lips were also dark. When he stared at a person, his eyes seemed like the bottomless abyss

with a bloodthirsty beast within that would jump out to bite the person in his throat the next second.

Hearing Christopher’s words, Yahir played with his bracelet and uttered, “I should be the one who says this. Mr.

Solace. I heard about you long ago, but I never met you. So I was surprised when you took the initiative to meet me

today. I wonder why you would invite me out.”

The Solace family did not have contact with Yahir, so it was natural for them not to meet each other.

Although the Solace family was prominent in Juxshire, they were still nothing in Yahir’s eyes. After all. he did not lack

connections with powerful and authoritative people, and he also knew their weaknesses. Thus, it can be said no one

in Juxshire could really catch his attention.

Moreover, Christopher was just a young and immature man to Yahir.

Even if it was the head of the Solace family instead of Christopher, Yahir still would not pay him

attention.

Christopher naturally knew what kind of person Yahir was. When he gathered his courage to meet Yahir today, he

had expected the latter would not take him seriously.

Yet, as long as they did not interfere with one another, it was not important whether Yahir took Christopher

seriously or not.

Christopher picked up the cup and took a sip of water to quench the discomfort in his throat. Then, he narrowed his

eyes and said smilingly, “Mr. Hatfield, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuation. You should know

clearly why I asked for your presence today.”

Yahir responded, “Although I’ve said you’re very well-known, I still never met you until today. Mr. Solace. When you

suddenly invited me to meet, I couldn’t think of anything you wanted to discuss if it was not about negotiating a

business with me.”

“Annabelle Johnson.” Christopher raised his eyelids and looked at Yahir coldly.

Yet, Yahir’s expression had not changed. He still wore that faint smile on his face.

Christopher asserted, “Mr. Hatfield, since you’ve investigated Annabelle’s background, you must know that her

father saved me in the past. I wonder if you can do a youngster like me a favor.” He paused and continued, “I know

you’re a businessman who takes money to do things. Unless you refuse this deal, you can name your price.”

Upon hearing that, Yahir’s eyes darkened as he looked at Christopher. Yahir didn’t answer the latter’s question right

away. He stood up and slowly paced around the private room while playing with his shiny bracelet with his fingers

rhythmically.

Yahir seemed to be considering Christopher’s words, yet he also didn’t seem to be thinking anything but clearing his

mind.

After a while, he turned around, looked at Christopher, and proposed, “Mr. Solace, as you said, I’m a businessman.

If I accept this business deal, I’ll definitely help you to resolve your problem. But how can I stay in Juxshire in the

future if I unilaterally break the contract? Instead of requesting me for a favor, how about we solve the source of

this matter?”

Even though Yahir didn’t consider the Solace family a threat, he still didn’t want to get into trouble.

If something happened to Annabelle, he was worried the Solace family wouldn’t let him off easily.

Besides, the Lynch family cooperated with Yahir for many years, and they also provided him with a lot of

conveniences. Therefore, it was hard for him to refuse to help any party this time. It would be best if he could

resolve this matter peacefully without offending the two families.

A person such as Annabelle was unimportant to him, so it wasn’t worth putting himself in a difficult situation for her.

Yahir voiced, “Mr. Solace, what about Ms. Johnson? I have nothing to do with her.”

Christopher instantly understood Yahir’s words. He smiled. “You’re a straightforward person, Mr. Hatfield. I’ll

cooperate with you if I have the chance next time.”

Yahir waved his hand politely and replied, “No problem.”

After sending Yahir away, Christopher took out his phone, opened the contacts, and flipped through it. When he

scrolled all the way, a name flashed across his sight. He stopped and then swiped down

twice.

He dialed the number.

In July, the weather in Juxshire was very hot.

The highest temperature for a week was nearly 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which could almost make people melt like

ice cream.

Though Yuliana and Christopher had been separated for more than a month, they still seemed to be the same as

before, except that Christopher didn’t stay overnight in Oceanview Apartment.

At first, Christopher would come back for lunch or dinner, spend time with his son, and leave. Gradually, he

returned around lunchtime. He would play with his son for a while after having his lunch. Then, he took a nap in the

afternoon and went out to do something occasionally, but he would come back to accompany Yuliana for dinner.

If nothing happened in the house, he would leave until Yuliana and Rowan fell asleep. Yuliana knew what Christopher

thought. He was waiting for her to ask him.

Every time Christopher left during the night, Yuliana lay on the bed and thought over her situation. She planned not

to ask him anything and to continue this life since he treated her nicely. But when she saw him the next day, she

hesitated again and still couldn’t ask a thing. Despite that, she doesn’t want to give up either.

However, before she could solve the matter with Christopher, a call was made from the Solace residence,

informing them that Winnie was sent to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Yuliana awakened from a nap, and the call was made to Christopher’s phone. After learning the news,

they rushed to the hospital.

Only Joyce, Alex, and the housekeeper who looked after Winnie showed up in the hospital when Christopher and

Yuliana arrived.

Kendrick was abroad. Joyce used her phone to call him, but no one picked up the phone on the other end.

At that time, Layla wasn’t in Romdale, while Jared took their daughter, Zofia, to Jeahron, and the father and

daughter would only be able to return at night.

In the past few days, Joyce mentioned that Winnie had a bad appetite lately. The latter couldn’t even eat two

spoonfuls of food a day, leading her to become so skinny that she was only skin and bones.

Yuliana found Joyce’s words exaggerated, but she was shocked when she saw the dying Winnie lying on the hospital

bed with an oxygen mask.

The last time Yuliana saw Winnie was at Rowan’s birthday party.

At that time, even though Winnie looked thinner compared to the time when Rowan was born, she still looked

normal with that body shape. But now, her eyes and cheeks were sunken, and her skin was loose due to old age,

looking like her body was only covered in skin.

Yuliana still remembered she first met Winnie, who looked elegant and noble. Yet, not longer than a year, she had

changed a lot, as if her look now and back then were two different people.

Yuliana came back to her senses and glanced at Christopher. The latter wore a depressed face, staring at Winnie on

the bed for a long time without saying anything.

Yuliana then looked at Joyce and queried, “What did the doctor say?”

Joyce’s eyes were filled with worry. She answered, “She went to the backyard today. She was probably exposed to

the sun and suffered a heatstroke. Plus, she hasn’t eaten much for nearly a week, so she’s malnourished. We’ll only

know the other factors after the detailed examination report is released.”

When the sky was getting darker, Winnie woke up.

Joyce sent Alex back to the Solace residence. She also asked the home chef to prepare some light food for Winnie

to eat after waking up.

Only Christopher and Yuliana were left in the ward.

Finally, Christopher relieved his expression when he saw Winnie awaken. He smiled and spoke softly. “Mrs. Solace,

you’re finally awake.”

Winnie still couldn’t open her eyes. She only half opened them. When she heard someone talking to her, her eyes

moved and her gaze fell on Christopher’s face.
