Chapter 243 Return.
The only thing she was worried about was Oscar. She leaned down and carefully kissed her son, afraid that he would notice her plan to leave. With reluctance, she hastily packed her belongings.
"Oscar is highly gifted and intelligent, too mischievous. I can't take him with me for now, Lena, please take care of him," she said.
"You're afraid... that man will find out and take him away, right?" Winnie fell silent. That was indeed her biggest concern.
Lena sighed. Oscar was exceptionally intelligent, probably resembling his biological father.
This little thing behaved well in front of Winnie but became cunning and difficult to deal with when facing others. "I can't guarantee that I can tame this little demon. I'll call you if anything happens, sis."
"His asthma doesn't usually act up, but be careful." Winnie warned.
"Yes, your boyfriend has booked your plane tickets." Winnie's mouth twitched, and then...
She corrected Lena, "Don't call people names."
"Sooner or later, he will be. You need someone to rely on," Lena didn't know what Winnie was like before, but in these three years, she had been fiercely cold and ruthless.
Winnie picked up her suitcase and waved her hand gracefully. What kind of reliance does she need? She won't harm any good person again.
Ruthlessness is her best weapon. She's back!
Two days later, at the domestic airport, Winnie walked out in high heels.
The woman, wearing sunglasses, had delicate skin and a beautiful figure, still attracting the attention of countless men.
An elegant and mature figure immediately came forward, "Winnie!" Rock's eyes flashed with a subtle admiration. She was even more wonderful than three years ago. Her figure after childbirth was still like that of a young girl.
When his gaze fell on her legs under the windbreaker, a faint pain emerged.
"Are your legs okay? You're wearing so little clothing," he asked, missing her.
Winnie hugged him gracefully and calmly, "It's fine. Get in the car first."
She smoothed her skirt and sat quietly, an indifference that seemed otherworldly emanating from her entire being, only Rock could see the hidden sorrows beneath her shining appearance.
He opened the conversation, "Winnie, I've found out about the favor you asked of me. Madam Rodriguez hasn't died yet." Winnie pressed her lips together.
Madam Rodriguez hasn't died in three years. She had told Taylor at that time that she would change the medication after three years. This was one of her minor purposes for coming back.
"Also, the child psychologist in Trento City that you want to find, I'm looking for them. Oscar's condition shouldn't be serious, right?" Winnie smiled bitterly.
It's hard to say it's serious. Oscar has had a problem with imperfect personality since he was sensible, with a symptom of role-switching. When the illness occurs, his personality changes.
Foreign doctors said it might be related to genetics and the lack of fatherly love. Oscar is warm-hearted normally, but becomes cold and unstable during the illness.
The little guy never asks about his father, and she also lies to him that his father passed away long ago.
Perhaps deep down, he still deeply fantasizes that his father is always there. She sighed softly, "It's alright, Rock. This matter isn't urgent."
"Then why did you come back this time..." Rock questioned openly.
"Alan asked me to handle a difficult case. He said it could be an entry point to save my uncle. I'll first see if it's true or not. You know, I can't refuse him." Rock naturally understood why she couldn't refuse.
But thinking of Alan, he glanced at the rearview mirror and furrowed his brows, "Alan is cunning. Winnie, even if you have many things to do, I don't want you to get involved with him. Actually, if you want revenge, you can rely on me completely. I will help you."
Winnie locked eyes with him, not saying anything, just lowered her head and took out a box of pills, "The old Mr. Harrington's heart condition can't be cured. Continue giving him these pills."
Rock slightly stiffened. She was reminding him of the engagement ceremony three years ago, where she also blamed herself.
"Winnie...my father..."
"That was unexpected, and these years he has truly relied on your pills to stabilize his body," Rock said, leaning against the back of the chair.
"You're welcome," Winnie replied.
Rock was about to say something when the radio suddenly switched to the news. "According to reports, Mr. Rodriguez from Island Electronics is about to complete the construction of a wedding villa worth $800 million for his fiancée, Miss Ordelia. It took three years, and Mr. Rodriguez's pampering of Miss Ordelia is well-known in Lymington. It seems like their wedding is approaching..."
The man quickly changed the radio station and thought for a moment before saying, "I heard it's true. They have set a wedding date and it's rumored to be even grander than the engagement ceremony."
"Is that so? That's great," Winnie replied calmly, showing no emotion.
Her heart died completely that night when she jumped into the sea, leaving behind only hatred, filling her up like a crazed and hardened shell.
With a faint smile, she said, "It's quite unexpected that they've dragged it out till now."
Rock quickly added, "Even without getting married, they have been living together for a long time. I heard they even have a child. Rumor has it that they had to go get a birth certificate for the child because someone saw them. Lawrence R has been unpredictable these past few years, and no one has seen that child or dared to ask. No one knows if it's true."
Winnie looked out the window, her gaze seemed distant and absent.
She did everything she could to avoid Oscar, and now she has given birth to another child? How ironic.
The intense hatred in her heart continued to fester.
"Rock, I'm feeling a bit tired. Let me know when we arrive at the apartment," she lazily closed her eyes.
Rock couldn't help but notice that she abruptly stopped talking, seemingly indifferent and carefree on the matter. Is that really the case?
She has changed so much. Those beautiful almond eyes, once filled with beauty and tenderness, have now become alluring and captivating, exuding a sense of freedom.
But it was all cold, floating on the surface, as if there was no heart. Is it good or bad? Rock pursed his lips. One thing he was certain of was that her clear and cold beauty had captivated him even more.
The apartment was still the one Winnie had bought three years ago, but Rock made some changes.
The original nursery had been transformed now with a Transformers bed and stacked Lego models, along with numerous educational toys.
Rock chuckled, "I thought you would bring Oscar back, so I stayed up all night and arranged everything, hoping that the little guy would like it."
Winnie looked at everything and couldn't help but feel moved. This man, Rock Harrington, had truly done so much for her, giving everything of himself.
Her emotions fluctuated, and she smiled sincerely, "Oscar really likes you as his uncle."
"How could he not? I'm so playful. No child could resist liking me, and besides, I've always treated him as my own son!"
The woman tightened her gaze, her mouth twitched with a touch of sentimentality, "I wish he had you as his father..."
"Winnie." The man walked over and held her delicate hand, his lips moved slightly, "It's my fault for not protecting you three years ago, which led to Oscar being born prematurely. But my feelings for you have never changed.” In these three years, Rock had become influential in Trento City, capable of moving mountains and dominating the scene.
"I haven't become a vegetarian either. No matter what you want to do, this time I'll accompany you until the end. I've been waiting for you here." Rock vowed.
The woman remained silent. She couldn't help but be moved by the fact that she had someone who genuinely cared for her.
However, she seemed a bit startled by his words and but she needed to be clear saying, "Rock, I can't promise you anything. I'm not sure what I'll become in order to achieve my goals, not even to myself!"
"As long as I'm sure, I can see your heart, Winnie. It might be my one-sided wish, but I've been willing to wait for years," replied Rock.
Winnie was touched in her heart, but she didn't say anything outwardly. She silently supported her hand and looked outside the window. "The situation about my uncle's case in prison..."
"Well, after I go back, I'll send you the case files. I've also looked for the lawyer you wanted me to help find, but visiting a convicted felon isn't that easy," Rock explained.
"Now that I'm back, there's no rush. Whoever wants my uncle dead, I'll go after them! By the way, is Triton's auction the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, prepare yourself well. It will be the first time you reappear in the public eye in Lymington," Rock reassured her, patting her fragile shoulder gently.
She gently touched the Triton dossier on the table, her fingertips emitting a cold light as she firmly clenched it.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital to take up my position. After seeing patients, I might need to go and find Olivia. Can you give me her contact information?"
When it came to Olivia, Winnie's heart tightened—
