Chapter 366

himself to say anything, as he feared he would break down if he tried.Unable to stand having to wear a protective mask while being inches away from the woman he loved, he lifted it and gave her a kiss on the eyes.“Hey! What are you doing? We’re in a quarantine room. There’s a reason I’m being quarantined! Put your mask back on!” Winnie exclaimed while shoving him off.Xavier ignored her protests and leaned in for another kiss. “No, I won’t! I’m not afraid of kissing you! I already did it once at the scene, so there’s nothing for me to be afraid of. I hate you so much for tricking me into going back! Why wouldn’t you let me go with you?”Winnie’s eyes turned red when she realized Xavier was crying even though she wasn’t. “Because I love you, silly! I told you it would be my turn to protect you, didn’t I? Our relationship is a mutual one, so I can’t have you being the only one contributing all the time. I want to love you too. You can’t take away my right to love you!”“I don’t need you to do that!”“But I do. I need you to feel my love for you,” Winnie replied as she picked up the goggles and face mask from the bed. She then handed them over to him. “Here, put them back on. If that radioactive gas can take away my vision, then you need to protect yourself from it. You can’t lose your vision because I might need you to be my eyes in the future.”Xavier cupped his hands around Winnie’s cheeks and pressed his forehead against hers. “No, you’ll be all right! I know you will! This has got to be temporary! I’m sure you’ll make a full recovery soon!”“All right. I’ll believe in your words this time. I’ve been through so much. I’m sure my amazing luck will help get me through this as well. Now, stop kissing me and put your mask back on. This quarantine room has transparent walls, right? Lisanne is in the room next to mine. She may not be able to hear us, but she can definitely see us. I don’t want her to witness us making out like this. It’s embarrassing!” Winnie said with a smile as she pulled away from Xavier’s kisses.Eventually, Xavier had no choice but to do as told and put his protective mask back on.Lisanne was indeed very confused as she watched everything from the next room.She knew that something must’ve happened to Winnie, but she had no idea what it was.When she saw Winnie pick up her phone, she instinctively did the same and pressed it against her ear.“What’s going on over there, Winnie? Why did you get rid of the doctors? Also, we’re still in quarantine right now. How could you guys just take off your masks like that?”Winnie let out a sigh as she replied, “My husband over here is a little immature, but I’ve given him a proper lecture. See? He has his mask back on now.”Winnie was well aware of the change in her tone of voice. She knew that she was trying to sound casual to not worry those who cared about her.However, she still decided to tell Lisanne the truth about her vision.“Lisanne, I seem to have lost my vision all of a sudden. I was just fine before I passed out, so I suspect that—”Lisanne cut her off, “Wait a minute… What do you mean by that? Is that why you were switching the light on and off earlier? What about now? Can you see anything yet? Do you at least see lights or shadows?”“No…” Winnie replied after a brief pause.“Try closing your eyes and opening them again. I’ve heard about people who suffered from temporary vision loss before. They usually regain their vision after resting for a bit, so maybe you should try closing your eyes for a few minutes.”“All right.” Winnie felt it was impossible to regain her vision like that, but she decided to give it a try
