“Christopher!” When Winnie saw Christopher suddenly collapse to the ground, she took two steps forward reflexively.

She completely forgot about the fact that she was still shackled, so her arm almost came off because she walked toward him hastily.

Her right arm was broken by Yulissa’s stick earlier, so doing that only poured fuel to the fire. Her face instantly paled from the pain.

Additionally, due to inertia, her entire body was pulled backward by the chains.

Even though Christopher was only two steps away from her, she couldn’t touch him at all.

“Wake up! You need to wake up and give me the key! I can send you to the hospital!” Winnie shouted his name, trying to wake him up, but it was no use. His body remained unmoving as he lay on the ground.

It was the first time she felt so helpless. Even though the key was only two steps away from her, she couldn’t grab it. Christopher will definitely die here if I don’t get out of my shackles soon!

“Wake up! I beg you, Christopher! You can’t die here! You still need to go home! Do you hear me, Christopher? Wake up!” she yelled as loudly as she could.

It was said that a person would be able to hear the calls of their friends and families when they were on the verge of death. Aside from calling his name, Winnie had no idea what to do.

Meanwhile, Christopher felt as though he was in a cold, dark world. He was freezing and lost, but there was a dot of red light in the distance. It seemed so close yet so far away from him.

With great effort, he tried approaching the light. He felt as though people were waiting for him there. Their figures resembled that of the fallen comrades he used to fight alongside with.

Those comrades of his were the nameless heroes who were sacrificed during the mission.

Christopher really wanted to reunite with them and hug them.

However, just as he was about to reach them, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him from behind.

That voice was pleasant to the ears, and it was calling out to him. It sounded familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember who the voice belonged to.

He wanted to advance forward, to reach a place of warmth and comfort with his comrades.

Yet, the feminine voice behind him was gradually mixed in with the sound of crying.

The one thing Christopher couldn’t bear listening to the most in his life was women crying, especially when it was accompanied by that particular voice. It almost broke his heart when he heard it.

Subconsciously, he didn’t want to let the owner of the voice feel upset. He glanced at his former comrades and abruptly realized he still had unfinished business to take care of.

Thus, he turned around with conviction and sprinted toward the origin of the voice.

“Wake up, Christopher! I beg you! Please talk to me!” Winnie still hadn’t given up yet. She believed Christopher wouldn’t go down that easily.

Her belief came true in the next moment.
