Chapter 1191

Zane took a series of deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, struggling to suppress the anger bubbling inside him.

Despite his own pain, he comforted Winona, "Don't worry, sweetheart, I've got you. No one can hurt you while I'm here."

Winona snuggled into Zane's arms like a content kitten, murmuring her agreement, "Mmmhmm." It was hard to believe this was the same woman who had been a fierce warrior just moments earlier!

After ushering the doctor and nurses out of the room, Zane spent some time soothing Winona's nerves. Once she seemed calm enough, he hobbled over to the door, his leg still bleeding profusely.

"My wound's opened up. I need it re-bandaged, stat!" he called out.

The doctor advised, "Her emotions are volatile. It might not be wise to stay in the same room with her."

Zane furrowed his brow, "I'll manage."

"Alright, hold still then. We'll take care of your leg first."
