go out on missions. You should know that they don’t bring their phones when they do that. Even if they need to use communication tools, they will definitely not use their own numbers. Before the mission is over, he cannot be contacted except by the personnel involved from the police station.”“That’s right,” Josiah chipped in. “You must not be so anxious. Even if Yulissa is really alive and is acting as an informant, he might not tell you the truth.”“I know. I only wanted to test him. I wasn’t going to ask him directly.” At this point, Winnie had already decided to give up on trying to contact Christopher. She knew it would be a wasted effort. After giving it some thought, she added, “The source of this venom is Yulissa. If she’s really alive, maybe we can find her to get the antidote.”“Then should we go look for Yolanda again?” Josiah suggested.Xavier grunted in reply. “That’s all that we can do for now.” With that, she took Winnie’s hand and stood up. “We’ll make a move first, then,” he said to Josiah.“Wait a minute!” Josiah hurriedly stopped Xavier. “You can leave, but you have to leave me a few cylinders of blood first. Why else did I insist that you come over in person? Come and draw some blood with me.”“All right.” Xavier gritted his teeth. “It’s a good thing you’re drawing some of my blood. Otherwise, you’d be dead for sure.”“What’s the matter?” Josiah glanced at Winnie for a moment. “Did I interrupt your good time?”Xavier cast him a sidelong glance. “Just watch it next time.”“All right, are you done?” Winnie clenched Xavier’s hand. “You can’t even figure out what is important or urgent after getting poison, now can you?” That night, Xavier kept going on and on.Winnie felt like a fish out of water and had a dire need for air.The first time was fine and she could feel it.The second time was acceptable.But after that, it was tiring.“Is this the after-effect of poisoning? Isn’t it almost like the blue pill?” Winnie had thought of just kicking him out of the bed.However, she was physically weaker than the man and was easily overpowered.She was arrogant and refused to surrender. When she looked at the time again, it was already three in the morning.“Go to sleep. Take a long rest. I’ll make sure that no one and nothing will disturb you tomorrow.” Xavier’s voice was hoarse, low, and needy.Held in his arms, Winnie hummed comfortably.She lifted her hand and stroked his face. “Then switch off my phone and wake me up at noon for lunch.”Xavier held her hand and chuckled. “Noon? You want to sleep for so long?”Winnie chuckled too. “Of course. Someone promised to do me so hard that I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed. Wouldn’t he be embarrassed if I got up before noon?”“Winnie!” Xavier lifted her chin and bit it softly. “How could you say that?”“Why not? Stop touching me!”“No. It’s too late to resist now.”Winnie smiled and nestled in his arms like a lazy cat. “By the way, you haven’t promised me.”“What?”“Wake me up at twelve noon.”“Must I wake you up?”“Hmm?” Winnie frowned and decided to open her eyes wide. “What do you mean? Aren’t you sleeping together with me? You haven’t been resting well, have you?”Xavier gave an irrelevant answer. “I’m not tired.”Winnie twisted Xavier’s ear. “I know. You are thinking of meeting Yolanda on your own, aren’t you?”Xavier’s eyes widened a little. “You can read my mind. Do you live in my mind?”“Hmph, why do you want to leave me and go alone?”“You should know the reason since you are so smart.” Xavier held her in his embrace. “You have been exhausted lately. I want you to rest more. It’s okay for me to meet her alone.”“Don’t underestimate her. Her needles are very powerful, and Josiah suffered from them in the past. But you know what I’ve done for you, and you’re considerate of me. That’s good. Please keep it up in the days to come.”“Certainly.”“Good. Let’s sleep.”The next day, after confirming that Yolanda was at home, Winnie and Xavier drove to the Xander residence.Winnie knew that Yolanda was precious to Sebastian and, at the same time, he was worried that she might harm Yolanda in some manner. Therefore, she invited him to be present when she talked to her.However, Yolanda did not want her grandfather to know about the things that she had done.A bottle of the
