Chapter 365

Author: Ninth Cup
The basement door slammed shut.

The bodyguards left as well.

Skyla collapsed to the floor and stared at the heavy door. Her tears were about to fall, but the moment she remembered that Chris had promised to publicly distance himself from Winter, she forced them back.

Then she smiled.

“Winter, this time, I’m going to take Chris back from you again.”

Chris walked into the living room on the first floor. Outside, the sky had already begun to brighten.

He glanced at the wall clock.

    The basement door slammed shut.The bodyguards left as well.Skyla collapsed to the floor and stared at the heavy door. Her tears were about to fall, but the moment she remembered that Chris had promised to publicly distance himself from Winter, she forced them back.Then she smiled.“Winter, this time, I’m going to take Chris back from you again.”Chris walked into the living room on the first floor. Outside, the sky had already begun to brighten.He glanced at the wall clock.Five thirty.At this hour, Winter was still asleep.“Mr. Xander, are you really going to agree to her terms?” Gavin asked.He knew better than anyone what Chris and Winter’s relationship was like right now.If Chris publicly told the press that he had nothing to do with Winter, then whatever fragile connection still remained between them would collapse completely. It was already like a storm-battered house by the sea. One more gust of wind would be enough to tear it apart.Chris said nothing.He wal

    “But if you lie to me, I’ll never tell you where the antidote is. I would rather die than tell you.”Her voice softened. “So, Chris, don’t lie to me. You know me. I’m not afraid of pain, and I’m not afraid of death. You could use every torture device on that wall, and I still wouldn’t be scared.”Chris put out his cigarette and turned to go upstairs.Skyla let out a low laugh.After Chris publicly clarified to the media that he had nothing to do with Winter, the next step would be making the two of them divorce. Then Chris would marry her and bring her into the Xander family. He would take her into Blackwood Manor.One day, she would become Chris’s wife.His only woman.Just before he went upstairs, Chris suddenly stopped.“You killed Jacob, didn’t you?”Skyla’s face turned deathly pale under the light. She stared at Chris’s back, her amber eyes clouded with a bloodshot sheen.She lowered her head and grabbed at her hair, her fingers trembling.A long moment passed before sh

    After Skyla finished speaking, the basement went so quiet that not even a breath could be heard.It was deathly still.Chris stood on the steps, his shadow stretched long by the light. It reached across the wall and fell into the corner.Ash gathered at the end of his cigarette, then scattered, revealing a small ember of red.There was not a trace of emotion on his face. He held the cigarette between his fingers and tapped it lightly against the stair railing, exposing the glowing tip.It seemed to burn Skyla’s eyes.She narrowed her eyes slightly and pressed her lips together, trying to read something from his face. But this man never let anything show. His thoughts had always been impossible to reach.She had never been able to understand him before.Now, she couldn’t glimpse even the smallest trace of what he was thinking.“Chris, are you hesitating?”Anyone who could make Chris care this much had to be extremely important to him. In this world, aside from his late grandmo

    Chris’s hand tightened at his side.The doctor’s expression was grave.For the first few months after Richie was born, he hadn’t even been able to drink milk. Later, as his condition slowly improved, he had gradually been able to tolerate it. They had all thought his body might keep getting stronger. None of them had expected him to develop such a rare illness.And there was still no news of a bone marrow match.“Has he been crying these past two days?” Chris asked.The doctor shook his head. “No. Once he falls asleep, he stays very quiet.”Chris stood there in silence, looking at the small face on the monitor.When Richie was asleep, he looked exactly like Winter.“He has been sleeping for that long. Does that mean his body is getting weaker?”It was because of the call from the hospital that Chris had decided to take Winter off the island early.The doctor looked deeply ashamed. His voice was heavy as he said, “Mr. Xander, Richie’s body is too weak. He may not be able to wa

    When Winter woke again, they had already crossed back into the country. Chris was still holding her tightly in his arms.At first, she struggled, but even though she was mostly sober by then, her body was still heavy from the alcohol. After a while, she couldn’t fight the drowsiness anymore and fell asleep again.Chris held her close. He loosened the slightly messy bun at the back of her head, then took his tie and wrapped it around her wrist instead. His gaze rested openly on her face.No matter how much time had passed, she was still the same as she had been back then. Whenever she couldn’t find a hair tie, she used one of his ties to pull back her hair.The helicopter flew through the night.In another two hours, they would reach Liono City.Chris lowered his head and kissed her forehead.In her sleep, Winter shifted unconsciously, her face brushing against his chest. Her lips moved.“Stop messing around.”Then, softly, she murmured, “Chris.”Chris’s arm stiffened around h

    Watching Skyla’s face turn ashen, Gavin thought of Mrs. Young’s brutal death.After hearing what he had said, Skyla froze.She had planned everything so carefully for one reason. She couldn’t let Chris find out.If he learned that her legs had never been disabled, what would he think of her?She would no longer be his savior.The only bond between them would be severed.That was why she had kept pretending ever since the car accident. She had pretended for so long that sometimes even she almost forgot she was healthy. That she could walk.She had lived in such humiliation for one purpose alone. She wanted Chris to feel guilty. She wanted him to treat her a little better.So why did these people have to expose her?Suddenly, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes. Her hand shot to the back of her waist and pulled out a switchblade. The blade snapped open, and she lunged at Gavin with startling speed.She moved so fast that the bodyguards around them were caught off guard.The momen
