233 Unraveling Her Origins
The man’s nudge silenced the woman, but the teary glearn in her eyes betrayed the turbulence lurking
within their home. Margaret’s heart swelled with empathy for them.
She turned her gaze toward Wynter, who was tapping her fingers on the table in a rhythmic pattern, lost
in her own thoughts.
After dinner, Margaret suggested they stay the night. However, the couple declined, mentioning they
had already found a nearby inn. Before leaving, they left a parcel for Wynter.
Margaret couldn’t shake her concern, even finding herself unable to focus on the television shows.
“Your brother is seriously ill,” she mentioned.
“Sounds like it,” Wynter replied. Lost in thought, she habitually twirled her teacup with her fingertips.
Margaret straightened her posture and suggested, “Wynter, let’s make a trip to Havenlight County to
visit your brother.”
“Alright,” Wynter responded, her smile serene. “You’re right. It’s time we visited him.”
The parcel left by the couple included their identification, leaving Wynter pondering whether it was an
oversight or a deliberate gesture. Regardless, Wynter knew she had to unravel the mysteries of her
past.
Back then, with scarce internet access and few locals of Havenlight County exploring outside their
vicinity, Wynter’s investigation led her only to the Empathy Clinic.
Upon reflection, the Paradise Village in Havenlight County did seem rather peculiar. It was a place so
elusive that even the Dark Web Alliance couldn’t penetrate.
Wynter’s l*ps curved into a smile. “I’ll give them a call later.”
Margaret didn’t detect anything out of the ordinary. She tenderly ran her hand through Wynter’s hair.
“From now on, you’ll have your parents to take care of you.”
Years ago, Wanda ventured to the county to give birth to climb the social ladder. The landslide was
indeed a significant disaster, documented and accessible even to this day.
With the scars still visible on her belly from that tragic incident, Wanda naturally harbored resentment
toward her child. Neither Wanda nor Ewan proved themselves fit for the role of
parents.
Margaret let out a heavy sigh. “When your mother thanked me, I was at a loss for words. The

Yates haven’t treated you kindly.”
Wynter nestled her head onto Margaret’s shoulder, “Grandma, having you is more than enough.”

As Wolf returned from mushroom picking, he stumbled upon the heartwarming sight. His eyes gleamed
with a hint of jealousy as he Loo desired to join in the embrace. Margaret’s face lit up with affection
when she saw Wolf.
However, Wynter didn’t entertain Wolf’s desire, “I’ll be leaving on a trip tomorrow, so you stay here and
keep Grandma company,” she Instructed firmly.
Before Wolf could even react, Margaret interjected, “No, we’re all going together.”
“Grandma, with the recent rain in the mountains, your leg will surely ache,” Wynter gently persuaded.
“When that happens, I’ll need to take care of you.”
That was the most compelling reason she could think of. Otherwise, Margaret would undoubtedly
remain stubborn.
Margaret considered for a moment before deciding, “You can’t go alone. Wolf will accompany you.”
“If he goes, he’ll devour all the food in the village,” Wynter joked, glancing at Wolf.
Wolf lowered his gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
Wynter subtly hinted, “The Empathy Clinic is popular now. To prevent any further reports, it would be
best for you to stay at home and take care of Grandma.”
Wolf confidently patted his chest, reassuringly implying, “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Once they had
reached an agreement, Wynter made a call to her parents.
The couple questioned incredulously, “Wait, are you saying you can actually come back with us?”
Wynter calmly responded, “I’m planning to make a short trip to visit my ailing brother.”
Tears of joy flowed down the woman’s face as she exclaimed, “You and your brother are always looking
out for each other. Gary will be over the moon when he hears this! Sweetie, call Gary right away!”
As Wynter listened to the commotion on the other end of the call, her beautiful face stayed hidden in
the shadows, keeping her expression a mystery.
Nevertheless, a slight chuckle could be heard in her voice as she advised, “Get some rest, and I’ll see
you tomorrow.”

“Alright, alright! See you tomorrow!”
The woman’s excitement from a moment ago vanished instantly after she ended the call. ” That girl is
truly difficult to deal with!”
