death?”Winnie shook her head in response. “No, I don’t want to break your heart, but I can’t just stand by idly and let him die!”“There are still others out there, aren’t there?” Jacinta refused to let Winnie leave her side. “They’ll save Xavier. You don’t have to trade your life for his!”Frowning, Winnie removed Jacinta’s hand from her arm. “Granny, I could’ve hired others to save you, but I came anyway because I love and care about you. I simply couldn’t leave your fate to others. I didn’t want you to panic because I wasn’t with you. I knew you’d wish for nothing more than to see me when you’re feeling hopeless.

She could only see what was directly in front of her.Fortunately, she soon found a long and large arm covered with blood in the grass.Her heart almost skipped a beat when she saw how much blood there was. “Xavier? Is that you?”The person lying on the ground said nothing in response, but his fingers twitched.Winnie knew she did not have the time to be cautious, so she instinctively took that slight movement as a signal from Xavier and rushed through the weeds to get to the man.His black shirt was riddled with holes
