Christopher’s eyes lit up when he saw how cool and heroic Winnie looked.

Just seconds ago, he was completely exhausted and prepared to accept his death. However, he seemed to have regained his strength when he saw her come to his rescue in such a heroic fashion.

With that newfound strength, Christopher scrambled to his feet and got on the back seat of Winnie’s motorcycle.

Christopher was so touched that he teared up a little as they sped off on the motorcycle.

“Winnie, do you mind if I lean on your shoulder for a bit?” he mumbled weakly and rested his head on her shoulder.

Winnie frowned when she felt his warm blood flow onto her neck and shoulder.

“What happened to you? Why are you bleeding so much?” she asked worriedly while keeping her eyes on the road ahead.

Christopher let out a wry chuckle. “It’s just a flesh wound, nothing major. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine after I rest for a bit.”

Winnie furrowed her brows as she replied, “Then you’d better hold on tight! Don’t fall asleep, you hear?”

“All right. I’ll do whatever you say,” Christopher muttered as he wrapped his arms weakly around Winnie’s waist.

“How about we have a little chat? That’ll help keep you awake.”

“Sure thing. What should we talk about?”

“Oh, you can talk about anything as long as you don’t fall asleep. We’re going really fast right now, so you could easily fall off the motorcycle if you nod off!”

“All right. A lot has happened during my time here, but protocol requires me to keep everything confidential, so I can’t reveal any of that information. Let’s talk about what happened during my childhood instead. Would you be interested in hearing about my past?”

As they were going really fast on the motorcycle with people shooting at them, Winnie couldn’t quite hear what Christopher was saying. She could tell he was talking, but she couldn’t make out the exact words.

Even so, she knew she had to keep him talking.

“Yeah, sure! Keep talking; I’m listening!” she yelled.

Christopher was breathing heavily as he leaned against her shoulder. He knew Winnie couldn’t possibly hear him, so he decided to change the topic on the fly.

“I was completely shocked when I saw you at the Horton residence that night. Kissing you in front of Xavier was both a voluntary and involuntary act. I know it wasn’t right of me to take advantage of you like that, but I don’t regret it one bit. I wonder how things would’ve turned out if I had known you in Avenport first. I’m sorry, Winnie. I’m sorry for having such feelings toward you even though I knew you were married. I’m really tired… I’ll rest my eyes for a bit…”

The factory was short of manpower to begin with, so there weren’t a lot of people available to stop Winnie.

They stopped chasing after the two as soon as the motorcycle made it out of the factory entrance.

Winnie got a little anxious when she noticed Christopher had stopped talking.

“Christopher? Hey, Christopher! Can you
