Chapter 260

receive my due when you get the deposit.”Leandro was relieved when Winnie started to talk about money. “But of course. I, your boss, will never disappoint you.”The woman nodded in response before the two got into the car and hurried back to Leandro’s base.The man’s laboratory was much simpler than Harold’s, and he was aware of it.In addition, Winnie could not work with her right arm, so it was unusually challenging for her to produce the sample.Leandro could see that, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had no choice but to wait patiently for Winnie to finish because he knew she would get upset if he rushed her.Just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye.Winnie was well aware that she could not afford to take any more time, so he handed Leandro a sample that evening.The man was overjoyed when he finally got what he wanted. The buyer even allowed Winnie to chat longer with Christopher over their video call after ensuring everything was right with the sample.Leandro let Winnie have her privacy when she requested it instead of having men watch her from the side.However, Christopher was still under watchful eyes, so neither of them said anything they should not.Despite the restriction, the two had their special way of communicating, and in that exchange, Winnie heard the best news of the past few days.Christopher revealed that he had finally reached Xavier, and Winnie got so excited that she instantly broke into a big smile.It had been a while since Christopher last saw Winnie smile that happily.Even though he was glad to see the woman so uplifted, he could not stop himself from feeling depressed. Christopher could tell that he was nothing compared to Xavier in Winnie’s heart.However, the man did not want to ruin the moment. In fact, he was more than willing to make Winnie even happier, so he suddenly held his wound and grunted softly.Winnie immediately furrowed her eyebrows in concern when she saw what happened. “Are you okay? Did you tear your wound? Quickly! Ask the doctor to take a look!”“Sure,” uttered Christopher weakly. “Somebody’s doing that for me now.”Winnie nodded in response. “I’ll talk to you later then. I’ve already managed to produce the sample because they gave me more time.”“No, don’t!” exclaimed Christopher abruptly. “Don’t hang up just yet! The doctor can still do his thing while we talk. I’m sure…” The man was only acting that way because Leandro was still watching him. “I’m sure you want to see me for a little while longer, don’t you?”“I do. Being here alone is so boring and I don’t even have anyone to talk to here.”“Right,’ voiced Christopher before shifting his attention to the door. “Pay attention. The physician is here.”Winnie knitted her eyebrows slightly because she did not understand the man’s words. Why should I pay attention to the doctor?When the physician Christopher mentioned appeared on screen inadvertently, Winnie widened her eyes in surprise.Even though the person was wearing a white coat and a mask, she could immediately tell who he was just by looking at his eyes.It was none other than Xavier.A glint of excitement flashed across Winnie’s eyes when she returned to her senses. Suddenly, she was in high spirits again.Xavier was just the same. Since he could not speak freely or reach out to touch Winnie, all his emotions were shown through his eyes.Christopher could not help but feel a hint of bitterness as he stared at the two.Even though Winnie promised to be with him in the next life, Christopher worried that Xavier would pursue her then too.From the looks on the couple’s faces, it seemed he probably would not have a chance even after the next life. Winnie likely took pity on me, but it’s okay. I’ll take her word for it anyway.Xavier could not communicate with Winnie since Leandro’s men were in the room, so he only appeared briefly on screen a few times.Still, his appearance was enough to inspire powerful confidence in Winnie.As Xavier could not stay long,
