shoe and walked on the ground with her bare feet.Christopher looked back and saw the scene. His eyes instantly filled with distress and sadness.Without saying a word, he strode over to the gutter.With a yank, he wrenched the high heel that was left behind by Winnie free.Then he walked over to Winnie and squatted down. Without raising his head, he grabbed her ankle and said, “Put on the shoe. The ground is dirty.”Winnie frowned. “I can do it myself.”Only then did Christopher retract his hand.After putting on the shoe, Winnie was about to say something when Christopher stood up in front of her.He was tall and strong. For the first time, Winnie felt the overwhelming presence of his towering figure when he lowered his eyes to look at her. Christopher didn’t want to experience this turmoil of emotions. However, whenever he saw Winnie was willing to hurt herself for the sake of another man, he couldn’t help but feel upset about it.Even his tone sounded colder than usual. “There is no point for you to be in such a hurry. You are not a doctor, and you can’t make Xavier better even if you go a minute earlier. You must also take care of yourself too!”“I understand.” Winnie calmed down a little. “I was too nervous just now. He sacrificed his life to save me, or else it would be me who is now lying in the hospital and suffering.”Christopher nodded in understanding, but at the same time, he was a little regretful. “If only I had been by your side at the time, maybe it wouldn’t be how it is now.”Winnie frowned slightly. “You have no obligation to stay by my side. Please don’t say that. Let’s go.”The two got in the car and arrived at the hospital.Winnie saw that Christopher wanted to go in with her, so she turned around and stopped in her tracks.“I can go up by myself. Why don’t you go home and take a rest?”Christopher stood rooted to the spot. “Why don’t I go up with you and have a look? Who knows, maybe I can be of help too.”“What can you do? You’re not a doctor. Besides, I’m afraid your presence will irritate Xavier.”“Then I’ll wait outside the door. If he lashes out, I can help to subdue him,” Christopher said with a light smile. “I’m not bragging, but my strength is comparable to a few male doctors’ strength. Let’s go. Come on, stop dragging your feet here.”“Okay.” Winnie continued to walk again. Christopher was right; she really shouldn’t waste her time here.After calling Josiah to confirm the ward number on her way into the hospital, Winnie went straight to the ward.Winnie and Christopher bumped into Josiah when they walked out of the elevator.Josiah was stunned when he saw Christopher behind Winnie. “Uh… Why is Captain Bennett here too? Are you here to investigate the case?”“No,” Winnie explained. “It’s hard for me to get a taxi outside of the police station. Christopher sent me here. Are you going downstairs?”“Yes, but I won’t go down since you’re here. Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Xavier. By the way, Is Captain Bennett coming with us too?”“Yes,” Christopher replied immediately. “I will
