“Xavier?”

Winnie turned around and lifted her head. Before she could make eye contact with the man behind her, she was pulled into an embrace.

At that moment, her head was gently leaning against a warm and familiar chest.

She wrapped her arms around the man’s waist tightly and exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you back so soon?”

“I completed my work sooner than expected, so I got back a day earlier,” Xavier answered, his tone filled with remorse.

After saying that, he couldn’t help but plant a light peck on Winnie’s hair before apologizing, “I’m sorry I got back late. Just leave everything to me.”

Winnie inhaled the familiar scent on Xavier’s body and finally felt a sense of relief after a few days of chaos.

“Okay.” She nodded as she relaxed and leaned against him entirely. “I need your help.”

“Sure,” he whispered. “I will always lend you a hand. You can leave it to me without worrying.”

The couple enjoyed a quiet moment in each other’s arms. After Winnie felt she had recharged her spirit, she finally got up and told Xavier, “Let’s talk outside.”

“Okay.” Xavier reached out and held her hand before falling silent.

Shortly after, they exited the ward together.

A dim light was switched on outside the ward. As soon as they walked there, Mason got to his feet swiftly and explained, “Ms. Garland, it was Mr. Fairchild who asked me to stay quiet just now.”

Winnie let out a soft hum in acknowledgment before telling Mason, “You may go back and rest now. Come back after you’ve got some sleep. We don’t need you for now.”

“All right!” Mason nodded and left the ward promptly.
