Chapter 205

if you have to turn over every stone in the world, dead or alive!”“Xavier!” Winnie couldn’t see Xavier’s expression, since she had her eyes closed, but the last three words he had uttered through gritted teeth alarmed her.His illness had never been cured, and under the influence of drugs, his emotions were easily magnified.Once his anger was amplified, things would become riskier, and she didn’t want that to happen.Holding onto the railing in the corridor, she stood up and determined Xavier’s position by listening to his voice before heading toward him.Xavier was almost taken over by his anger entirely, his blood rushing to his head and his ears buzzing. Therefore, he didn’t hear Winnie calling his name just now.Now that he saw Winnie staggering toward him, the boiling blood in his body calmed down slightly, and his mind went blank for a short moment.Without hesitation, he rushed forward to carry her up.Before she knew it, she felt herself getting lifted up in midair.She wrapped her hands around his neck and frowned. “Don’t get riled up. It’s not worth it.”Xavier glanced at her with his head lowered. “Do your eyes still sting? Let me rinse them first. Don’t be scared. I’ll be quick.”When she heard his words, her furrowed brow relaxed. Even she herself didn’t notice that she was smiling.“I’m not scared. I have you with me, don’t I? I lacerated Zyon’s arm just now. You should ask them to follow the traces of blood to find him, but it’s dark now, so they need to take a little more effort during the search.”“I know. You don’t have to worry about these things.” Xavier scrunched up his brows, guilt brimming in his eyes. “I should have insisted on letting the security guards follow you just now!”With her eyes closed, Winnie stroked the back of his head gently. “Xavier, don’t be like this. It’s not your fault. I was the one who insisted on not bringing the security guards. Besides, it’s actually a good thing. If I was under the protection of the security guards, Zyon wouldn’t have had the guts to show himself when he saw he was outnumbered. If that were the case, we wouldn’t even get to catch a glimpse of him. But because I’d gone alone, he couldn’t wait to come out of hiding, and I got to injure him. I believe that as long as we follow the bloodstains, we can find some clues.”What Winnie had explained made sense, and Xavier understood it well.Despite that, he still couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.Perplexed, Winnie asked, “What’s wrong? Have we arrived?”“No!” Xavier’s tone was unusually solemn. He looked at the woman in his arms and continued, “I want to tell you I don’t like to trade your safety for Zyon’s whereabouts. I will find him unless he’s died somewhere. I hope you won’t have such thoughts in the future.”She frowned slightly. “You’re so fierce. I’m not a weak, gentle bird gilded in a golden cage. I know what I’m doing, and I also know if what I’m doing is meaningful. But…”But I will no longer be upset with Xavier’s tone because I know he genuinely cares about me.“But?” “But in front of you, I’m willing to be a fragile, little woman occasionally. After all, even a strong woman longs to be pampered.”Xavier couldn’t help but hug her closer and press his forehead against hers. “Dumbo, with me by
