got to her feet.Before entering the car, she paused in her tracks and eyed Christopher, asking, “Captain Bennett, have we met before? I’m not trying to hit on you, but I can’t help but think I’ve seen you somewhere. To be more specific, I’ve seen your eyes. I think it was sometime around three or five years ago.”As she said that, she raised her hand and covered her view of Christopher’s lower facial features. “Like this. Your eyes look somewhat familiar.”Suddenly, Christopher’s lips curled into a smile.He always had a mask on when he was on duty as a SWAT officer back then. Hence, all that was exposed were his eyes. Still, she remembered my eyes.

That means he was already awake by the time he left. By the way, where’s Yulissa? Is she still here?” Yulissa suddenly came to Winnie’s mind.“Yes. She popped by the ward before Xavier was escorted away.”“You should ask her, then. Who knows? She might know something.”“You don’t say? Of course, I’ve asked her. She knows nothing.”Winnie smirked. “Do you believe her just
