    Chapter 235 Cautioning Dr. Genius


    Raindrops tapped gently against the windowpane, creating a soothing melody. However, Margaret


    couldn’t shake her unease. With Wynter gone, even with a full list of patients to tend to, the courtyard


    felt empty and deste.


    Unlike the heavy rains in Southdale, the mountains merely cast a somber shadow over the


    Fanny’s soft voice broke the silence, “Wynter, would you like to stop at the rest area for some food?”


    “Sure,” Wynter replied agreeably. However, she made sure to bring along her trusty ck bag. This


    peculiar action of hers caught Dickson’s attention as he stepped out of the car to smoke.


    The driver nodded subtly at Dickson. Dickson lowered his voice and said, “Let’s not rush.”


    He fretted over the thought of Wynter waking up midway without having consumed the drugged water.


    Taking any action on the highway wasn’t safe. They had to wait until they reached Havenlight County to


    pull over.


    The food options at the rest stop were limited, but Fanny made sure Wynter was well taken care of. To


    onlookers, she appeared to be the epitome of a caring mother.


    “Be careful, it’s hot,” Fanny warned as she ced a bowl of noodles in front of Wynter.


    Just as Wynter was about to take a bite of her noodles, a voice broke the silence with surprise. “Hey,


    aren’t you the young doctor who was gathering mushrooms on the mountain that day?”


    Harry’s eyes lit up when he saw Wynter. “I’ve been wanting to find you at Waterview Alley! What brings


    you here?”


    Wynter had an impable memory for faces, so when she looked at Harry, she instantly recalled their


    previous meeting. “Sir, it appears your heart has recovered.”


    “Thanks to your advice that day on the mountain,” Harry remarked, his brows furrowing. Where are you


    headed? And what brings you to this rest stop?”


    Wynter smirked slightly. “I’m going back to my hometown with my mom.


    Though initially wary of the stranger’s sudden appearance, Fanny couldn’t help but smile upon hearing


    Wynter’s words. “We’re here to pick up Wynter.”

    Chapter 235 Cautioning Dr. Genius


    Harry found it peculiar. Hadn’t Wynter mentioned before that she was an orphan? How did she


    suddenly have a mother?


    “Hello,” Harry greeted, though puzzled. “Dr. Genius, where are you headed? I have a car. I can give


    you a lift.” Harry had been itching to repay Wynter for saving his life on the mountain.


    Wynter blew on her noodles and calmly stated, “We’re heading to the Paradise Vige in Havenlight


    County.”


    However, Harry’s expression changed drastically at the mention of Paradise Vige. He nced at the


    woman beside Wynter as if he had something to say. However, he hesitated.


    Wynter asked, “What is it?”


    “Dr. Genius, are you from there?” Harry found it hard to believe.


    Wynter chuckled lightly, deflecting the topic. “Probably.”


    “What do you mean, probably? That ce…” Harry halted as he noticed the woman’s gaze shifting


    toward them.


    Wynter raised an eyebrow and asked indifferently, “What about it?”


    “It’s dangerous, especially for college girls and children,” but Harry couldn’t bring himself to say it


    directly. He had already noticed the local trafficker smoking outside.


    As for Wynter’s mother, she also appeared peculiar, although Harry couldn’t precisely pinpoint why.


    In an attempt to avoid the local trafficker’s gaze, he lowered his voice and cautioned, “Dr. Genius, it’s


    best if you don’t go there. That ce is infested with mosquitoes, and there are many diseases. I’m


    afraid you won’t adapt well.”


    “Your friend is quite humorous,” Fanny remarked as she handed Wynter a piece of sausage. We’re


    going home, and we have medicine for dealing with mosquitoes.”


    Harry’s face turned even grimmer at Fanny’s reply. It was a coded message, warning him not to stir up


    trouble.


    “What’s the deal?” Dickson chimed in, appearing at just the right moment with his


    trademark humble look. As Dickson and the driver drew nearer, Harry’s eyes darted about nervously.
