“I-I know,” Yulissa stammered.

Zyon continued furiously, “That’s good, then. Your task is very simple this time. You’d better not mess things up again, or I’m going to teach you a lesson.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t.”

They had made two plans from the very beginning.

Plan A was to kidnap Yulissa and lure Xavier into the trap. Then, they would make him addicted to drugs, which would ruin his reputation and make him face social death.

Now that Plan A had failed, they had to launch Plan B.

However, Plan B was to make Xavier die for real.

After hanging up, a pale Yulissa opened the door and walked toward Xavier’s ward.

“The breeze is a little strong. You might catch a cold. Here, you can have my jacket.” Christopher removed his jacket and moved closer to drape it over Winnie.

However, Winnie was not used to having strangers touch her. When she saw Christopher reaching out, she dodged it instinctively, leaving his hand still hanging in the air. Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

Feeling a little uncomfortable with the sudden silence, Winnie explained hurriedly, “It’s okay. It’s late, anyway. We should go home. Besides, it’s warmer in the car.”

Christopher nodded. “Okay. I’ll send you home.”

With that, both of them turned to leave. However, it was too dark that Winnie accidentally missed a step and was about to fall.

In the blink of an eye, a strong arm shot forward and held her waist steadily.

Feeling the arm’s warmth and the strength, Winnie could not help but praise, “Wow. You’re really strong, Captain Bennett.”
