night. Do you hear me?”Christopher was rendered speechless, while Josiah and Winnie were flabbergasted.“Do you hear me?” Xavier asked again.Christopher was so stunned that he didn’t know how to respond.“What is it? Are you so happy that you can’t utter a word in response?” With that, Xavier grabbed Christopher by his neck and pinned him against the wall.Xavier and Christopher were about the same height, so Xavier was looking at him at eye level.Noticing that, Xavier furrowed his brows, and he looked frustrated. “What happened, Dumbo? How did you suddenly get so tall?”Christopher, Josiah, and Winnie were all utterly stupefied.“What…” Winnie stared blankly at Josiah.Josiah was gaping in disbelief as well. After a while, he said, “Well… I think he’s just having an episode, the kind that has never been seen before. Memory loss, memory confusion, and personality mutation. It seems like he has become a domineering CEO. In fact, he might’ve turned blind!”“So, what should I do now?” Christopher asked. “What do you mean by that? Who are these people? Why are they in our room?” Xavier was angry at Winnie and Josiah.He turned around and sized Josiah up. “Are you a doctor? Why are you here? Is someone sick?”Josiah still couldn’t believe his eyes. “This is a hospital. You’ve fallen sick.”“I’m sick?

She then grabbed Xavier’s other hand and fumed, “I’m Dumbo! I’m the real Winnie! Look at me! Take a good look at me!”“Ha!” Xavier flashed a disdainful look. “You’re just another shameless woman trying to approach me. How despicable! My wife is here!”With that, Xavier wanted to put his hand behind Christopher’s head.It seemed like he was about to kiss Christopher on the lips.Winnie was angry and devastated at the same time. She reached out her hand and grabbed Xavier by his hair to pull his head down.She then wrapped the other arm of hers around his neck and bit his lip.Upon hugging him, Winnie was suddenly reminded of how he protected her from the needles. Even when he was hugging me so tightly, he
