“Oh, you’re talking about that.” Lisanne’s tone turned brighter. “I don’t either. Have I told you about the
person I admire?”“Yes,” came Winnie’s reply. “I remember you telling me about it. It’s Marie Curie, the
first woman to receive a Nobel Prize.”“Yes, that’s the great woman I admire. What a pity their research
environment was terrible back then; they did not have as many precautionary measures as we do.
Because of her long-term exposure to radioactive material during her research, she ended up passing
away from astic anemia. I don’t want that, of course, but I believe death for a noble cause should be
worthwhile. Alpha radioactive gas has yet to undergo human trials. I’m simultaneously the researcher
and the test subject. Even if I end up dying, I am sacrificing myself for science. I think it’s worth it. God,
what am I talking about? We’re not going to die. I’ll find a way to cure us all. Trust me, Winnie.”“Of
course,” was Winnie’s confident answer. “I refuse to believe that I’ll die this easily. Still, there’s
something I want to ask you about.”“What is it?”“How does the red marking look like? Is it ugly? I asked
the doctor about it earlier, but she didn’t tell me anything. I’m guessing it looks horrible. Does it look like
the markings of a melon?”“Melon markings? I’m surprised you thought of that. Aren’t the markings of
melons too thick? Have you ever watched fantasy dramas? Do you know how the veins on their faces
turn ck when they’re poisoned?”“I have. I still remember the name of the drama.”“What drama is it?
Let’s see if we were watching the same drama.” A momentter, she cried out, “Darn! That’s the drama
I was talking about. We really watched the same thing.”The two of them ended up chatting from the
topic of a life-and-death situation to the topic of television shows they used to watch. It was as though
they were unbothered by their crisis.At that moment, Xavier was outside the quarantine room, watching
Winnie.By then, he had already found out about the red markings on Winnie’s body.He was afraid that
she would feel bad, and he was terrified of losing her. That was why he had rushed over to her right
away, wanting to cherish every second he had with her.Yet, it seemed that she was chatting merrily
with Lisanne. Even though he had no idea what they were talking about, he was content with standing
just outside, watching her.No matter which angle he looked at her from, the woman he loved was
simply the most beautiful woman in the world, especially when she smiled.He could not bring himself to
disturb her, so he continued standing outside until Lisanne noticed his presence and ended the
call.Once Xavier saw that they were done with the call, he went into Winnie’s room.Upon hearing
Xavier, Winnie stretched out her hand to him.Xavier strode toward her.Before he could say anything,
Winnie uttered, “Did you bribe the doctor? You’re here right after she’s gone.”“It’s just a coincidence. If
you weren’t adamant about kicking me out, I would’ve stayed here with you,” Xavier said as he put a
hand on her stomach. “Can I take a look?”“No. I haven’t even looked at it myself, so how can I let you
look at it first?” Winnie rejected him with a smile. “Why aren’t you talking? Are you really that
interested? Lisanne and her colleague will be recording these symptoms. They’ve taken photos of
theirs, so you can go and check out Lisanne’s male colleague’s photo instead.”There was a pained
look in Xavier’s eyes that Winnie could not see. “I don’t want to. I’m not interested in other
people.”Even though Xavier was already suppressing his emotions, Winnie could still hear him choke
on his words. She wrapped her arms around Xavier’s neck and said, “Don’t be like this, okay? You’ve
been here for a while now, right? You must have seen how unperturbed I was when I was chatting with
Lisanne. If we, the ones caught up in this, aren’t worried, why are you worrying about it instead? You’re
only stressing me out.”“Then what should I do?” Xavier asked, tears in his eyes.“You’re neither a doctor
nor a scientist, so there’s nothing you can do. Just rx as I do and think of this as just a normal cold.
Go back to your normal schedule.”Xavier was silent for a while.Winnie snapped her brows together.
“Don’t stay silent. I can’t see you now, and if you don’t say anything, I can’t tell what you’re thinking
about.”“Okay…” Xavier choked out as he hugged her tightly. “I wished I was the one in your ce.”“But
I don’t wish for that.” Winnie gently stroked the back of his head to console him. “Don’t me yourself
for this. I have some things to doter.”“What things?”“Officer rk, Captain Gibson, and Greta will be
coming over to visit me. Do you want to head back to work on your stuff first?”“No need. I’ve already
handled all the urgent matters.”“All right. I’m going to get up to familiarize myself with my surroundings,
so I’ll be training myself. I need you to correct me.”Xavier froze as another wave of heartache washed
over him. It took him a while before he could give her a hum in agreement.About half an hour of training
later, James and the others came.The first thing they did was ask how Winnie was before Winnie asked
them some questions in return.“Did you find the bombter on?”“We did. Although Harold was shot to
death on the spot, his subordinates have confessed everything,” James said. “However, ording to
his subordinates, there’s someone else in the line ofmand above Harold who only Harold knows
how to contact. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find his phone at the scene. Apparently, that person was the
one who provided Harold with the bomb. In other words, that person is the most dangerous person of
all. We’ll have to catch them as quickly as possible if they’re still in the country.”Those words brought a
frown to Winnie’s face.He has someone else he reports to? A phone?All of a sudden, a thought popped
into Winnie’s head.When she came out of the chemical nt back then, Harold had shoved her into a
car. After saying things that Harold disliked hearing, Harold angrily put a bag over her head.Her hands
were tied at that time, and her vision was blocked by the bag, but she could sense something falling
beside her hand from the bag.It was something small and thick. She did not dwell much on it, and after
getting it, she sneakily put it in the back pocket of her pants. She forgot about it after that.Recalling the
moment now, she realized the thing felt like an old phone.Upon realizing that it could be something
James and the others were looking for, Winnie squeezed Xavier’s hand and said, “Where are the
things, including my clothes, I had with me when I was rescued? Where are they?”Xavier was quiet in
contemtion for a second. “They took it for processing when they quarantined you, but I think they
kept it away.”“Then hurry up and get them back,” Winnie started. “There should be an old phone inside.
It could be Harold’s.”“All right. I’ll get someone to work on that right away.”Shortly after, the things
Winnie had before she went into quarantine were brought over.Indeed, there was an old phone among
the items—one that could only make calls and send messages.Winnie could not see anything, so she
had to wait until James was done studying it before asking, “So how is it? Did you find anything
important?”
