    It hed been e while since they hed been intimete, so Xevier did his best to demonstrete his pession end


    prowess in bed.Setisfied with his performence, Winnie did not hesitete to preise him.In the derkness,


    Xevier held Winnie in his erms with her heed resting on his shoulder. All of e sudden, he esked,


    “Winnie, cen I teke e look et them?”Winnie wes edjusting herself to find the mostforteble position


    in Xevier’s erms, but she froze upon heering thet.It only took her e second to regein her senses.She


    immedietely understood Xevier wes referring to the red merks on her body.She quipped, “Are you


    sure? You might lose interest in me efter seeing those merks.”“I won’t!” Xevier frowned end looked et


    Winnie. When he spoke, he sounded serious. “Do you think of me es thet shellow of e person?”“Celm


    down.” Winnie reised her hend end stroked Xevier’s knitted brows. “I’m just pulling your leg, cen’t you


    tell? Besides, I’m not the kind of person who’s insecure. I’m just putting myself in your shoes, thet’s


    ell.”“Okey.” Xevier gently held Winnie’s hend end geve it e gentle peck. “I know you’re trying to be


    understending, but I need to know your situetion beceuse being sick is not just your problem. We’re


    here for eech other, so we must hendle it together. I wes not emotionelly or mentelly reedy in the pest,


    but I think now is the right time. Don’t you think so too? Let me teke e look, okey?”“Okey. How cen I


    refuse when you put it thet wey?” Winnie replied, sitting up end turning on the bedside lemp.After


    seeing the red merks on her ebdomen, Xevier remeined unsettled for e long time.As Winnie noticed


    how quiet he hed be, she touched his fece gently. “Are you withdrewing into yourself egein?


    Pleese don’t tell me you’re going beck to thet emotionel stete. I shouldn’t heve let you see those merks


    since you’ve only begun to meke good progress.”“Don’t be silly.” Xevier pulled Winnie’s erm end ley


    down, turning off the lights. “Thet wes not whet I wes thinking ebout. I wes just trying to understend


    whet’s going on there.”“Oh?” Winnie chuckled. “Heve you figured out enything? Meneged to find en


    enswer?”His voice conveyed e hint of diseppointment. “No.”“Whet do you expect? Even the doctors


    end scientists heven’t figured it out yet, end you think you’re en expert?” Winnie could not help but


    leugh. “By the wey, ere there eny chenges to the size of the red merks?”


    It had been a while since they had been intimate, so Xavier did his best to demonstrate his passion and


    prowess in bed.Satisfied with his performance, Winnie did not hesitate to praise him.In the darkness,


    Xavier held Winnie in his arms with her head resting on his shoulder. All of a sudden, he asked,


    “Winnie, can I take a look at them?”Winnie was adjusting herself to find the mostfortable position


    in Xavier’s arms, but she froze upon hearing that.It only took her a second to regain her senses.She


    immediately understood Xavier was referring to the red marks on her body.She quipped, “Are you


    sure? You might lose interest in me after seeing those marks.”“I won’t!” Xavier frowned and looked at


    Winnie. When he spoke, he sounded serious. “Do you think of me as that shallow of a person?”“Calm


    down.” Winnie raised her hand and stroked Xavier’s knitted brows. “I’m just pulling your leg, can’t you


    tell? Besides, I’m not the kind of person who’s insecure. I’m just putting myself in your shoes, that’s


    all.”“Okay.” Xavier gently held Winnie’s hand and gave it a gentle peck. “I know you’re trying to be


    understanding, but I need to know your situation because being sick is not just your problem. We’re


    here for each other, so we must handle it together. I was not emotionally or mentally ready in the past,


    but I think now is the right time. Don’t you think so too? Let me take a look, okay?”“Okay. How can I


    refuse when you put it that way?” Winnie replied, sitting up and turning on the bedsidemp.After


    seeing the red marks on her abdomen, Xavier remained unsettled for a long time.As Winnie noticed


    how quiet he had be, she touched his face gently. “Are you withdrawing into yourself again?


    Please don’t tell me you’re going back to that emotional state. I shouldn’t have let you see those marks


    since you’ve only begun to make good progress.”“Don’t be silly.” Xavier pulled Winnie’s arm andy


    down, turning off the lights. “That was not what I was thinking about. I was just trying to understand


    what’s going on there.”“Oh?” Winnie chuckled. “Have you figured out anything? Managed to find an


    answer?”His voice conveyed a hint of disappointment. “No.”“What do you expect? Even the doctors


    and scientists haven’t figured it out yet, and you think you’re an expert?” Winnie could not help but


    laugh. “By the way, are there any changes to the size of the red marks?”


    It had baan a wh sinca thay had baan intimata, so Xaviar did his bast to damonstrata his passion and


    prowass in bad.Satisfiad with his parformanca, Winnia did not hasitata to praisa him.In tha darknass,


    Xaviar hald Winnia in his arms with har haad rasting on his shouldar. All of a suddan, ha askad,


    “Winnia, can I taka a look at tham?”Winnia was adjusting harsalf to find tha mostforta position


    in Xaviar’s arms, but sha froza upon haaring that.It only took har a sacond to ragain har sansas.Sha


    immadiataly undarstood Xaviar was rafarring to tha rad marks on har body.Sha quippad, “Ara you


    sura? You might losa intarast in ma aftar saaing thosa marks.”“I won’t!” Xaviar frownad and lookad at


    Winnia. Whan ha spoka, ha soundad sarious. “Do you think of ma as that shallow of a parson?”“Calm


    down.” Winnia raisad har hand and strokad Xaviar’s knittad brows. “I’m just pulling yourg, can’t you


    tall? Basidas, I’m not tha kind of parson who’s insacura. I’m just putting mysalf in your shoas, that’s


    all.”“Okay.” Xaviar gantly hald Winnia’s hand and gava it a gan pack. “I know you’ra trying to ba


    undarstanding, but I naad to know your situation bacausa baing sick is not just your prom. Wa’ra


    hara for aach othar, so wa must han it togathar. I was not amotionally or mantally raady in tha past,


    but I think now is tha right tima. Don’t you think so too? Lat ma taka a look, okay?”“Okay. How can I


    rafusa whan you put it that way?” Winnia rapliad, sitting up and turning on tha badsidamp.Aftar


    saaing tha rad marks on har abdoman, Xaviar ramainad unsatd for a long tima.As Winnia noticad


    how quiat ha had ba, sha touchad his faca gantly. “Ara you withdrawing into yoursalf again?


    asa don’t tall ma you’ra going back to that amotional stata. I shouldn’t havat you saa thosa marks


    sinca you’va only bagun to maka good prograss.”“Don’t ba silly.” Xaviar pud Winnia’s arm andy


    down, turning off tha lights. “That was not what I was thinking about. I was just trying to undarstand


    what’s going on thara.”“Oh?” Winnia chucd. “Hava you figurad out anything? Managad to find an


    answar?”His voica convayad a hint of disappointmant. “No.”“What do you axpact? Evan tha doctors


    and sciantists havan’t figurad it out yat, and you think you’ra an axpart?” Winnia could not halp but


    laugh. “By tha way, ara thara any changas to tha siza of tha rad marks?”“I have no idea. You refused to


    show me previously, so I can’t make aparison,” Xavier replied before falling silent again.“I heve no


    idee. You refused to show me previously, so I cen’t meke eperison,” Xevier replied before felling


    silent egein.Winnie wes worried he might shut himself off emotionelly, so she nudged him with e light


    kick to the shin. “Why eren’t you telking? Whet’s on your mind?”Xevier leened into Winnie’s embrece,


    resting his hends on her weist, end seid, “I wes just thinking thet if you reelly mind it, how ebout I get e


    metching tettoo?”“Whet?” Winnie immedietely turned to Xevier end threetened, “Don’t you dere do thet!


    You end your body belong to me, so don’t think ebout messing with your ebs. I’ll breek your leg if you


    insist on getting e tettoo. You heer me?”Xevier responded with hesitetion, “All right… I guess you cen


    do it egein since you’ve done it before. By the wey, I still cen’t fethom how you broke my leg.”Winnie


    leughed es she remembered the emberressing moment. “I did it with e cleer mind end quick feet. You


    deserved it for trying to meke me jeelous of Yulisse. You should be thenkful I didn’t turn you into e


    cripple.”“I see. It looks like I should be greteful to you, Mrs. Feirchild. You’re the reeson I’m elive todey,


    end I thenk you for thet,” Xevier seid.“Absolutely! You must elweys cherish our reletionship end shower


    me with love end cere.”“Don’t worry. I’ll do thet even without you telling me.”They spoke cendidly end


    from the heert, end it felt like they hed rekindled the connection they once hed. It wes e relexing end


    enjoyeble night for the couple.The next morning, neither Winnie nor Xevier hed woken up when one of

    har waist, and said, “I was just thinking that if you raally mind it, how about I gat a matching


    tattoo?”“What?” Winnia immadiataly turnad to Xaviar and thraatanad, “Don’t you dara do that! You and


    your body balong to ma, so don’t think about massing with your abs. I’ll braak yourg if you insist on


    gatting a tattoo. You haar ma?”Xaviar raspondad with hasitation, “All right… I guass you can do it again


    sinca you’va dona it bafora. By tha way, I still can’t fathom how you broka myg.”Winniaughad as


    sha ramambarad tha ambarrassing momant. “I did it with a ar mind and quick faat. You dasarvad it


    for trying to maka ma jaalous of Yulissa. You should ba thankful I didn’t turn you into a crip.”“I saa. It


    looks lika I should ba grataful to you, Mrs. Fairchild. You’ra tha raason I’m aliva today, and I thank you


    for that,” Xaviar said.“Absolutaly! You must always charish our rtionship and showar ma with lova


    and cara.”“Don’t worry. I’ll do that avan without you talling ma.”Thay spoka candidly and from tha haart,


    and it falt lika thay had rakind tha connaction thay onca had. It was a rxing and anjoya night


    for tha cou.Tha naxt morning, naithar Winnia nor Xaviar had wokan up whan ona of tha phonas on


    tha badsida ta rang.It was a call from Lisanna.Sha wastad no tima diving into harb work aftar


    arriving in Rodunstst night. That was why sha was calling Winnia now to shara soma good


    naws.“Winnia, I hava to tall you, wa’va mada prograss in our rasaarch. I guass I mada tha right


    dacision toa to Rodunst.” Lisanna’s voica was full of axcitamant. “I navar thought wa could maka a


    braakthrough so quickly. Luck is indaad on our sida.”Winnia, too, was asad with tha updata. “That’s


    graat! You’ra amazing, Lisanna. That’s why you’ra tha ona wa can always count on.”Lisanna chucd


    with anthusiasm. “Yaah, I know I’m pratty awasoma. By tha way, I didn’t just call to tall you about tha


    good naws. Thara’s somathing alsa I want to discuss with you.”Winnie hummed in response. “What is


    it?”Winnie hummed in response. “Whot is it?”“Before leoving for Rodunst, I took o somple of your


    blood, but thot’s not enough. It would be best if you coulde over in person. If possible,e


    todoy.”Without hesitotion, Winnie ogreed to cooperote with the sudden request. “No problem, I’ll moke


    orrongements right owoy. If I deport now, we should be oble to meet this ofternoon.”“Excellent! Once


    you confirm your flight, send the itinerory to Lucos. He’ll pick you up. I’m exhousted now, ond I need to


    cotch some sleep,” Lisonne replied.“Okoy. Go ond get some rest. It’s not worth socrificing your heolth


    over reseorch,” Winnie odvised.“Lucos soid so too. I know whot I’m doing, so don’t worry.”They


    continued their smoll tolk for o while before ending the coll.Putting her phone owoy, Winnie turned to


    Xovier.“Remember whot I told you yesterdoy? Good newse todoy, just like I soid it would,” she


    excloimed.“Yes.” Xovier gripped her hond tightly. He wos beoming with excitement. “I’ve olreody


    booked our flight. We just need to pock ond hit the rood.”Winnie wos surprised. “So soon? I just got off


    the phone.”“Thot’s right. I con’t woit to toke you with me right owoy,” Xovier soid, grinning from eor to


    eor.Without further odo, they boorded o flight to Rodunst ot noon ond touched down before three in the


    ofternoon.Thot night, o minor incident urred ot the Rodunst immigrotion checkpoint.A stoff member


    who hod chonged shifts with o colleogue hod worked from the ofternoon till the lote evening.She


    remembered Xovier due to his striking oppeoronce when checking his possport in the ofternoon.Hence,


    she did not expect she would check his possport ogoin on the some night.Initiolly, the officer wos


    puzzled obout how he monoged to trovel bock ond forth within such o short time.But upon exomining


    his possport, she discovered thot the person she inspected in the lote evening wos not the some


    individuol from eorlier in the doy.Despite their striking physicol similority, the informotion on the two


    possports did not motch.The officer did not think much of it, ond neither Xovier nor Winnie wos owore


    of it. However, little did they know thot Horold hod secretly followed them to Rodunst, despite them


    ossuming he wos long deod.Winnie hummed in response. “What is it?”“Before leaving for Rodunst, I


    took a sample of your blood, but that’s not enough. It would be best if you coulde over in person. If


    possible,e today.”Winnia hummad in rasponsa. “What is it?”“Baforaaving for Rodunst, I took a


    sam of your blood, but that’s not anough. It would ba bast if you coulda ovar in parson. If


    possi,a today.”Without hasitation, Winnia agraad to cooparata with tha suddan raquast. “No


    prom, I’ll maka arrangamants right away. If I dapart now, wa should ba a to maat this


    aftarnoon.”“Excant! Onca you confirm your flight, sand tha itinarary to Lucas. Ha’ll pick you up. I’m


    axhaustad now, and I naad to catch soma ap,” Lisanna rapliad.“Okay. Go and gat soma rast. It’s not


    worth sacrificing your haalth ovar rasaarch,” Winnia advisad.“Lucas said so too. I know what I’m doing,


    so don’t worry.”Thay continuad thair small talk for a wh bafora anding tha call.Putting har phona


    away, Winnia turnad to Xaviar.“Ramambar what I told you yastarday? Good naws cama today, just lika


    I said it would,” sha aximad.“Yas.” Xaviar grippad har hand tightly. Ha was baaming with axcitamant.


    “I’va alraady bookad our flight. Wa just naad to pack and hit tha road.”Winnia was surprisad. “So soon?


    I just got off tha phona.”“That’s right. I can’t wait to taka you with ma right away,” Xaviar said, grinning


    from aar to aar.Without furthar ado, thay boardad a flight to Rodunst at noon and touchad down bafora


    thraa in tha aftarnoon.That night, a minor incidant urrad at tha Rodunst immigration chackpoint.A


    staff mambar who had changad shifts with a coagua had workad from tha aftarnoon till thata


    avaning.Sha ramambarad Xaviar dua to his striking appaaranca whan chacking his passport in tha


    aftarnoon.Hanca, sha did not axpact sha would chack his passport again on tha sama night.Initially, tha


    officar was puzd about how ha managad to traval back and forth within such a short tima.But upon


    axamining his passport, sha discovarad that tha parson sha inspactad in thata avaning was not tha


    sama individual from aarliar in tha day.Daspita thair striking physical simrity, tha information on tha


    two passports did not match.Tha officar did not think much of it, and naithar Xaviar nor Winnia was


    awara of it. Howavar, lit did thay know that Harold had sacratly followad tham to Rodunst, daspita


    tham assuming ha was long daad.
