Winnie’s heart sank and anxiety took over her.“What is Xavier’s situation now? Why don’t you just cut
to the chase?”Josiah felt his temples throbbing. “We are still in the middle of the check-up. I didn’t keep
you on tenterhooks on purpose. The oue is uncertain. He is probably suffering from serious
cognitive impairment.”“Cognitive impairment?” Winnie quickly went through the words in her mind. She
opened her mouth, but couldn’t find her voice for a while.She was left dumbstruck for a moment before
she threw a barrage of questions.“Which form of cognitive impairment? Perception? Memory? Or
thinking? Unresponsiveness, hallucinations, memory loss, memory errors, depression, obsessive-
compulsive disorder, Alzheimer’s, dissociative identity disorder, and mania are all examples of
cognitive impairment. Which kind are you talking about?”“It’splicated.” Josiah sighed. “As for now,
he’s suffering from mania, dissociative identity disorder, and memory loss. He has experienced all of
these in the past few hours. I can’t exin the details to you on the phone. Let’s talk about it when you
are at the hospital. I have to go and watch him now.”“All right. Please take good care of him. I’ll be
there in no time.”Winnie came to the station with the police just now, so she didn’t bring a car.She was
in a hurry to get back to the hospital. It was a waste of time to call someone to pick her up, so she
decided to take a taxi.She was so worried about Xavier’s condition that shepletely forgot that there
was another person beside her.Seeing that Winnie was rushing to leave, Christopher strode forward.“I
believe you didn’t drive here. Let me give you a ride.”Hearing Christopher’s voice, Winnie realized that
she hadpletely forgotten about him.The moment Winnie parted her mouth, Christopher knew what
she was going to say and interrupted her straight away, “You’re wee. Don’t worry too much about
it. We are friends. If you need my help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Even if you choose to bottle it up, I
will still help you when you need it.”Winnie’s heart warmed up. She nodded at Christopher. “Where is
your car?”“It’s at the front. This way,” Christopher stated and took out the car key from his pocket while
striding toward the parking lot in the courtyard.Winnie was wearing a long dress and high heels that
day, so her walking was not as swift as usual.In a hurry to get in the car, Winnie identally stuck her
heel into the gap of the iron bars of the gutter when she walked over it.It was a little hard to dislodge
the stuck heel, but it could still be done with a little patience and time.However, they were what Winnie
lacked most at the moment. She gave the shoe a jerk twice but still failed to pull the heel out. In the
end, she simply took off the shoe and walked on the ground with her bare feet.Christopher looked back
and saw the scene. His eyes instantly filled with distress and sadness.Without saying a word, he strode
over to the gutter.With a yank, he wrenched the high heel that was left behind by Winnie free.Then he
walked over to Winnie and squatted down. Without raising his head, he grabbed her ankle and said,
“Put on the shoe. The ground is dirty.”Winnie frowned. “I can do it myself.”Only then did Christopher
retract his hand.After putting on the shoe, Winnie was about to say something when Christopher stood
up in front of her.He was tall and strong. For the first time, Winnie felt the overwhelming presence of his
towering figure when he lowered his eyes to look at her. Christopher didn’t want to experience this
turmoil of emotions. However, whenever he saw Winnie was willing to hurt herself for the sake of
another man, he couldn’t help but feel upset about it.Even his tone sounded colder than usual. “There
is no point for you to be in such a hurry. You are not a doctor, and you can’t make Xavier better even if
you go a minute earlier. You must also take care of yourself too!”“I understand.” Winnie calmed down a
little. “I was too nervous just now. He sacrificed his life to save me, or else it would be me who is now
lying in the hospital and suffering.”Christopher nodded in understanding, but at the same time, he was
a little regretful. “If only I had been by your side at the time, maybe it wouldn’t be how it is now.”Winnie
frowned slightly. “You have no obligation to stay by my side. Please don’t say that. Let’s go.”The two
got in the car and arrived at the hospital.Winnie saw that Christopher wanted to go in with her, so she
turned around and stopped in her tracks.“I can go up by myself. Why don’t you go home and take a
rest?”Christopher stood rooted to the spot. “Why don’t I go up with you and have a look? Who knows,
maybe I can be of help too.”“What can you do? You’re not a doctor. Besides, I’m afraid your presence
will irritate Xavier.”“Then I’ll wait outside the door. If heshes out, I can help to subdue him,”
Christopher said with a light smile. “I’m not bragging, but my strength isparable to a few male
doctors’ strength. Let’s go. Come on, stop dragging your feet here.”“Okay.” Winnie continued to walk
again. Christopher was right; she really shouldn’t waste her time here.After calling Josiah to confirm the
ward number on her way into the hospital, Winnie went straight to the ward.Winnie and Christopher
bumped into Josiah when they walked out of the elevator.Josiah was stunned when he saw
Christopher behind Winnie. “Uh… Why is Captain Bet here too? Are you here to investigate the
case?”“No,” Winnie exined. “It’s hard for me to get a taxi outside of the police station. Christopher
sent me here. Are you going downstairs?”“Yes, but I won’t go down since you’re here. Let’s go. I’ll take
you to see Xavier. By the way, Is Captain Beting with us too?”“Yes,” Christopher replied
immediately. “I will just wait outside the door. I won’t go in.”Josiah nodded. “All right. Let’s go.”He
briefed Winnie about Xavier’s current situation on the way.“The effect of that drug is too potent. Even
sedatives can’t suppress it. We’re running out of ways to treat Xavier right now.”“Then how did you deal
with it? Did you tie him up?”Josiah was worried to death. “We couldn’t tie him up. No one dared to
approach him when he was having an episode. However, he seemed to have calmed down by himself
after we left him alone for a while. Things went in another direction after that. He couldn’t recognize me
anymore.”“What? Are you saying that he has amnesia?” Winnie knitted her brows tightly.Josiah’s frown
was even tighter than hers. “I’m not entirely sure. He borrowed a mobile phone from me and was able
to recite Louis’ phone number. He even called Louis to talk about matters regarding Fairchild
Corporation. He could recognize Old Mr. Fairchild too. To tell you the truth, our group of doctors was at
our wit’s end to treat him.”Winnie furrowed her brows. Her heart sank again. If we sum it up in a simple
way, it means that he’s gone crazy, right?She was crestfallen. “I’ll visit him and see if he remembers
me.”
