The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1144

"I wouldn't say we're friends, more like acquaintances. During my time with the Yates family, she tried to harm me on a few occasions," Wynter remarked calmly.

Malik's smile faltered instantly, along with the words he intended to speak.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just curious—how could someone with average medical skills be hailed as a genius doctor?" Wynter flashed a meaningful smile.

Malik understood her implications, yet he couldn't shake off his confusion. "Her skills are unquestionable. She cured my wife."

After a moment of pondering, Wynter decided to inquire further. According to Malik, Yvette was capable of performing acupuncture treatment. However, its effectiveness remained debatable.

Although Wynter hadn't returned to the mansion recently, she doubted Yvette had learned the technique from Margaret.

More importantly, Yvette had mentioned that both the Fenton and Winston families would flourish in the near future.

Strangely enough, Yvette's statement hinted at two things. It would've been expected if she had only mentioned the Fentons, yet she included the Winstons as well.

Wynter had sensed an unusual presence around Yvette during their last encounter, and that feeling had heightened since then. It seemed that she needed to make a trip to the mansion before heading to Hawford.

"You mentioned that Yvette has headed to Hawford. Is that right, Mr. Malik?" Wynter questioned upon catching onto a detail.

"My father has been behaving weirdly lately. Out of concern, we attempted to request Dr. Yates… I mean, Ms. Yates, for treatment.

"However, she said she had a patient in Hawford and wouldn't be back in Kingbourne any time soon," Malik answered.

"That's too much of a coincidence," Wynter remarked with a frown. As she caressed her purple sugilite, she attempted to piece all the information together.

While Wynter had a hunch, it was purely a wild guess—Yvette's departure to Hawford might be related to the Winstons. In that case, she needed to uncover why the Winstons held Yvette in high regard.
