Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: The Older the Ginger, the Spicier it is
Xaviera replied truthfully, "Every once in a while, Grandfather sends me a message letting me know heās safe, and Iām sure itās from him."
The message had no name, but Xaviera instinctively felt that it was her grandfatherās way of reassuring her and telling her not to search for him.
Sir Drew breathed a sigh of relief, "Thatās right, he must still be alive, and he sent you a message just so you wouldnāt worry. Thatās good!"
His tone was filled with joy, and Xaviera could see that he was genuinely worried about her grandfather.
After a moment of silence, Sir Drew looked at her with affection, "Xaviera, do you remember anything from your childhood?"
Xaviera was somewhat puzzled by his question but slowly began, "Ten years ago, I lived in the Evans family. Later, I was kicked out and had nowhere to go, so Grandfather took me to the mountains. I learned medicine and painting from him, and sometimes weād travel around. After our senior fellows became capable, they took me all over the world."
Since becoming a disciple of the miracle doctor, Xaviera had visited many places and expanded her horizons, but nothing made a profound impression on her.
Sir Drewās eyes changed as he listened, "Is that all?"
Xaviera hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and answered earnestly, "Thatās it."
"Does Xaviera like the seaside? Libanan has no sea, but if you like, you can go to the seaside. The scenery is beautiful, and it will make you happy," Sir Drew hinted.
Actually, Xaviera didnāt like the sea, and because Mag Evans had pushed her into the water when she was young, she had always been afraid of water and usually avoided going to the seaside.
Before she could answer, Sir Drew kindly asked, "Xaviera doesnāt like the seaside?"
"Mmm." Xaviera nodded.
Sir Drew smiled and whispered, "Iāve said what I needed to say, and itās not my place to interfere in the affairs of young people. Itās late, and I should rest. You should go."
"By the way, when will Ban wake up?" Sir Drew suddenly remembered.
Xaviera choked.
The old manās eyes held no blame, "I donāt mean to criticize you. Luke used to like to play tricks on others and drugged them, but such drugs donāt harm the body. I just want to know when Ban will wake up."
Xaviera: "..." Indeed, experience is the best teacher. She thought that no one knew about it, but Sir Drew had just woken up and already guessed it. That was embarrassing.
"Uh... heāll wake up soon," Xaviera replied awkwardly.
"Good, you should go," Sir Drew waved his hand.
After Xaviera left, steward Wescott came in and asked softly, "Sir, why do you believe that Miss Evans didnāt poison the family head?"
Although Sir Drew had always scolded Ban as a scoundrel, he had always cared for this son of his. Yet, he did not blame Xaviera for the poison.
"Actually, you never went to the family headās room and you donāt know what kind of poison heās taken. How can you be sure Miss Evans wonāt harm him?" Wescott continued to ask.
Sir Drew glanced at him and said lightly, "Xaviera is Lukeās disciple. Since he was willing to take her as his student and teach her so diligently for so many years, it means sheās talented. If Xaviera were ruthless and unscrupulous, Luke wouldnāt have kept her by his side, nor would Page Uland and Elijah Flack dote on her so much. I trust Luke, so naturally, I trust Xaviera."
"Although Xaviera hates Ban, she would never harm him, at least not for my sake. At least she would spare him his life."
Xaviera indeed hated Ban for his mistreatment of Winni Drew and for abandoning Caleb Mamet, but he was Sir Drewās son after all. So, she wouldnāt kill him.
Suddenly, Sir Drewās expression turned cold, "I truly regret not dethroning Ban earlier as the family head. He used his position to do whatever he wanted. I tolerated him only because he was my only son, but now, for the sake of Winni and Caleb, I canāt tolerate any longer."
After he finished speaking, Sir Drew motioned for Wescott to come closer and whispered a few words into his ear.
Meanwhile, after Xaviera left the main house, she saw a tall, upright figure standing at the junction. He lazily looked down and only slowly looked up when he heard her footsteps. His light brown eyes were calm, and he approached to take her hand, "Letās go."
