The nightmare was so realistic that Winnie remained terrified after she sat up on the bed even when a

The nightmare was so realistic that Winnie remained terrified after she sat up on the bed even when a
long time had passed.Clutching her chest that felt tight, she panted heavily.As soon as Xavier noticed
her unusual condition outside the ss door, he sought out the staff and requested that they open the
door.The instant the outermost door was opened, 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?
Aftering 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 simrly 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 ss.Then, he nced 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 andfort 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 ce. Due to
her visual impairment, her sense of hearing had be 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 rxed entirely.She spun around, but she trained her eyes in the
wrong direction. “Why did youe 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 ofst night and didn’t go home?”“Yeah. I wanted
to keep youpany.”“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 shot dead at the elementary school in the mountains that
day really Harold? Could it be someone else? And could that person be Harold’s substitute?”Xavier
tenderly wiped the water off her face before carrying her back to the bed. He sat down with her. “Why
do you think that? Just because of the dream you had just now? He told you he had stic surgery in
the dream?”“Yes, it was indeed the dream that led to such spection from me. But this isn’t
unfounded.” Grabbing the man’s hand, Winnie asserted, “Do you still remember what Mason told us
back then? He said Harold had undergone stic surgery, his face wrapped in gauze. He sounded
incredibly confident at that time. If that wasn’t true, and Harold was still wearing the hideous face
littered with scars, why would he be so sure about it? It’d been several months since Harold was
caught in the explosion. Even if he wanted to conceal his face, he could’ve just worn a surgical mask or
masquerade full-face mask. Why must he keep his face wrapped in gauze?”Despite disagreeing with
her conjecture, Xavier didn’t refute her immediately.Instead, he asked, “Was there any interaction
between the two of you when heter brought you to the school in the mountains from the chemical
nt?”Winnie bobbed her head. “Yeah, we interacted along the way.”“Then you both must have talked
about the past events in Lightspring. You experienced all that back then too. Did he give anything
away? Or did he say anything that’s tantly wed? Also, there’s his voice. Did you hear anything
wrong with it?”In a sh, Winnie fell silent.Calming down, she pondered for a while before admitting,
“Well… I don’t have an echoic memory when ites to voices. I can remember a melody I’ve only
heard once or the particr sound of a musical instrument, but I’m not sensitive to the timbre of the
human voice. As far as I remembered, it wasn’t much different from Harold’s voice. However, we can’t
rule out the possibility of two people or more in this world having simr or the same voice, Xavier. That
man had scars all over his face, so no one knows his appearance in the past.”Xavier nodded. “Yes, we
indeed can’t rule out that possibility. What about everything he said, then? Was there anything out of
ce?”Winnie mulled over it carefully. “No, but it’s possible that Harold told him all that.”“But Winnie,
Harold couldn’t have possibly transmitted all his memories to someone else like data transfer.
Additionally, it isn’t usible for the person to have made no mistakes.”That was the first time Xavier
had ever seen her so paranoid about a matter that had been set in stone.She seems to becking a
sense of security because she’s about to lose her vision. The most important thing right now is to
restore her eyesight.Patting her on the head in anguish, he coaxed, “Don’t overthink things, Winnie.
Harold is already dead. Rx, okay? We’ll be going to the hospital for your surgery
soon.”Nevertheless, Winnie couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss. “Help me phone
Officer rk, Xavier.”
