so realistic that Winnie remained terrified after she sat

he made to rush in.At once, the staff stopped him. “Wait, Mr. Fairchild. You must wear protective equipment. You can’t go in like this!”Xavier shook off their hands. “I’m already wearing it!”While saying that, he picked up the mask on the ground and put it on.Still, the staff was rather conflicted. Although he’s indeed wearing protective equipment, it doesn’t work anymore.“Mr. Fairchild, the protective equipment you’re wearing is probably from yesterday, right? After coming out of the room, you need to change into a new set before going back in,” a staff member implored.“There’s no need for that!” By then, Xavier was already at the end of his patience.I even took off the mask in the room, but am I not still in perfect health now? I’ve already put on the mask. What else do they want?He was adamant about entering the room, but the staff similarly insisted that he change.Just when they were at a stalemate, Josiah came over with a new set of protective equipment.“Change into it, Xavier. Winnie has gone to the bathroom, so there’s no hurry.” As he spoke, he looked into the quarantine room through the glass.Then, he glanced at the staff at the side before adding, “They have their own rules. We can’t put them in a difficult position in their own territory, no?”Honestly, Xavier understood everything the man was saying.Earlier, he had merely lost control of his emotions and wanted to instantly go into the room and comfort the woman he loved.Right then, however, he had calmed down. He reached out and took the protective equipment from Josiah before apologizing to the staff at the side.In truth, the staff could understand his feelings at the moment. They swiftly allowed him into the room after he changed into the new protective equipment.When Xavier entered the room, Winnie was already taking a shower.Her senses were sharp in the first place. Due to her visual impairment, her sense of hearing had become far more sensitive.The bathroom door was opened. She was bent at the waist, washing her face, but she promptly stilled upon hearing the man’s footsteps. That aside, she even turned off the faucet.Distress swamped Xavier at the sight of her wariness.Not wanting her to suffer a fright, he called out to her.No sooner had Winnie heard the voice than she knew that it was Xavier.She relaxed entirely.She spun around, but she trained her eyes in the wrong direction. “Why did you come so early, Xavier? Where are you? Come here!”Having said that, she extended a hand toward the man.Xavier hurried over in huge strides and pulled her into his arms.“What happened just now? Why were you clutching at your chest? Were you hurting?”Gently pulling away from his embrace, Winnie put some distance between them. “How do you know that? Did you witness everything earlier?”“Yeah. What’s wrong?” Instead of answering Xavier right away, Winnie asked, “Don’t tell me you were outside for the whole of last night and didn’t go home?”“Yeah. I wanted to keep you company.”“So, you’ve been sitting outside all along?”“That isn’t important, Winnie. Tell me what exactly happened to you.”Not only did Winnie narrate her nightmare to Xavier, but she also voiced her suspicion. “Say, was the person who was
