Chapter 272

Xavier’s head against the railing.”The revelation stunned Winnie. When she saw Xavier’s blood on her hands, the image of Christopher looking at her in teary-eyed despair flashed across her mind.In spite of that, she took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the scene that flooded her mind. An injury to the back of the head isn’t a small matter.

After shoving Yulissa, he got into a fight with Captain Bennett. He kept screaming that he was going to beat the latter to death regardless of how I tried to hold him back. In the end, all I could do was watch as he threw Captain Bennett off the building.”In her silence, Winnie couldn’t believe what she had heard. “His illness acted up once in the past, but he wouldn’t…”“Wouldn’t
