Chapter 238

was that they wouldn’t reveal any information they obtained to anyone privately without getting Winnie’s permission beforehand.It made the situation rather awkward.On Winnie’s side, things weren’t going that well either.When Jacinta heard the younger woman was leaving for a while, she became upset. “Shouldn’t we be waiting here for Rach to get better? You keep saying this place is dangerous, yet you seem to have endless matters to take care of here. Where exactly are you going?”“Lightspring.” Winnie then explained with knitted eyebrows, “As you know, Captain Bennett is there. There’s something I need his help with.”“What for?” The older woman lowered her voice. She was genuinely concerned about Winnie’s safety. “He’s dealing with narcotics in Avenport. Since his job is a dangerous one, doesn’t this mean it’s dangerous for you to be involved with him?”“No! He’s a cop while I’m not. There’s a private matter I need his help with. If you don’t believe me, I can call him in front of you right now.”“Sure. Call him in front of me now.”“No problem.” With a faint grin, Winnie pulled out her phone and dialed Christopher’s number.The call connected quickly. Based on the noise she heard from his end, she speculated that he was surrounded by many people at the moment.Thus, she quickly spoke in a coquettish manner. “You’re so awful, Chris. You said you were going to come find me, yet you haven’t even called me in days!”As she said that, she tapped the back of the phone with her finger.She was asking him if it was a good time to talk in Morse code.Christopher replied, “I’ve been busy these past few days. Don’t you know to call me if I don’t call you?”The instant his sentence ended, a man next to him piped up, “That’s right! Chris has no shortage of sl*ts desperate to sleep with him!”“Get lost!” Christopher roared before the person beside him fell silent.Despite what he was saying, he also sent a message to her through Morse code: Not available to talk now. Can deliver messages. Winnie received his message and continued to talk to him through Morse code while chatting about an unrelated topic to fool Jacinta.When Christopher learned that she had something important to discuss with him, he promptly made the decision to find her instead.In the end, they agreed to meet at the hospital in an hour.After ending the call, Jacinta immediately asked, “Was the thing you mentioned on the phone really that important? So much so that you need to return it to him personally?”Winnie’s fake conversation with Christopher earlier was about her wanting to hand an important item over to him.Jacinta couldn’t understand Morse code, so that was all she heard. Naturally, she believed that was the reason Winnie wanted to meet Christopher.Winnie nodded.
