Chapter 257
But the moment she stood up, he stood up as well, and instinctively grabbed her wrist. “Ella!”
As though scalded by hot water, Stella forcefully shook her hand off. “We are at school, Mr. Hall! Please control yourself.”
After that, she left. Justin chased after her, but looking at her back, he stopped in the end. He stood in the gazebo, lost and full of despair.
What he did not know was that in a hidden corner, a man had just taken a photo on his cellphone, where the image of the two people holding hands was clearly captured.

In the ward.
Initially, Xavier had planned to go to Henry, but thanks to what happened on the balcony, he didn’t want to stay any longer. He found an excuse and left in a hurry. Henry was fiddling with another potted plant Weston had brought for him absent-mindedly when he suddenly said, “Your uncle is rather obtuse.”
Weston didn’t even look up. “What did he tell you just now?” “Nothing. He was just probing.” He pushed his wheelchair and put the potted plant in the shade.
Then, he came back. “Don’t give me these things again. I don’t like them.” “Why do you have so many then?” He put down the newspaper and rubbed his eyebrows. “Tell me what you like.” “How generous… Will you give me anything I want?”
“Say it.”
“Are you this generous with those women of yours?” “Which woman?” Weston sniffed and asked with a raised eyebrow.
It was rare that he would even talk about this.
Weston finally understood what he was talking about and laughed. “Guinevere came to you?”
“I didn’t say anything,” Henry said, raising both his hands while looking innocent. “I’ve always been tight-lipped. I don’t talk about other people’s secrets.” “I know.” Weston stood up and put his suit jacket on his arm. “Thanks a lot,” he said as he patted Henry’s shoulders. “Don’t. It has nothing to do with me. If she knows about it, she will be very sad. Can’t you just behave yourself?”
“You don’t know about what happened that year.” Weston’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Henry looked at his sullen, cold face and wanted to say something but Weston interrupted. “I will help you keep an eye on that little bodyguard. Just don’t get your hopes up. She’s probably already…”
He did not say the rest of the words.
Seeing Henry’s cold face, Weston knew he understood what he meant and left without saying another word.
