Winnie’s heart sank and anxiety took over her.

“What is Xavier’s situation now? Why don’t you just cut to the chase?”

Josiah felt his temples throbbing. “We are still in the middle of the check-up. I didn’t keep you on tenterhooks on purpose. The outcome is uncertain. He is probably suffering from serious cognitive impairment.”

“Cognitive impairment?” Winnie quickly went through the words in her mind. She opened her mouth, but couldn’t find her voice for a while.

She was left dumbstruck for a moment before she threw a barrage of questions.

“Which form of cognitive impairment? Perception? Memory? Or thinking? Unresponsiveness, hallucinations, memory loss, memory errors, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alzheimer’s, dissociative identity disorder, and mania are all examples of cognitive impairment. Which kind are you talking about?”

“It’s complicated.” Josiah sighed. “As for now, he’s suffering from mania, dissociative identity disorder, and memory loss. He has experienced all of these in the past few hours. I can’t explain the details to you on the phone. Let’s talk about it when you are at the hospital. I have to go and watch him now.”

“All right. Please take good care of him. I’ll be there in no time.”

Winnie came to the station with the police just now, so she didn’t bring a car.

She was in a hurry to get back to the hospital. It was a waste of time to call someone to pick her up, so she decided to take a taxi.

She was so worried about Xavier’s condition that she completely forgot that there was another person beside her.

Seeing that Winnie was rushing to leave, Christopher strode forward.

“I believe you didn’t drive here. Let me give you a ride.”

Hearing Christopher’s voice, Winnie realized that she had completely forgotten about him.

The moment Winnie parted her mouth, Christopher knew what she was going to say and interrupted her straight away, “You’re welcome. Don’t worry too much about it. We are friends. If you need my help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Even if you choose to bottle it up, I will still help you when you need it.”
