Chapter 46

Author: Ninth Cup
Winter hadn't been completely wasted earlier at the club. The alcohol had hit her head, but she wasn't the type to air her dirty laundry in front of strangers. She hadn’t even finished her sentence before nausea hit. The “can’t do it” comment had merely been a reflex, blurted out as she felt the urge to puke.

But now the full force of the alcohol had caught up with her. Whatever restraint she had left was gone.

She looked at him, and everything she had swallowed for years began swelling inside

    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

    Skyla’s face went suddenly pale under the glare of the floodlights.Her black bucket hat fell to the ground. The cold wind lifted her long, straight hair, sending it whipping around her face like dark claws.Panic flashed through her deep amber eyes. She reached for the mask on the ground, but Gavin stepped on it with his black hiking boot. He looked down at her as she knelt there in the dirt, battered and exposed.He didn’t say a word.But the message was clear.There was no point hiding anymore.“How did you know?” Skyla’s teeth chattered. If Gavin knew, that meant Chris knew too.“Chris, he…”Gavin’s face remained expressionless. “Mr. Xander was the one who told me to wait for you here. What do you think?”Skyla braced both hands against the ground. Her pale fingers dug into the soil. It had rained in Liono City earlier that day, and the ground out here in the suburbs was soaked. Mud smeared beneath her neatly trimmed nails.She stared blankly as Gavin’s words sank in. Her

    What he had never expected was that after he lost his sight, someone would take an aerial photo of the crescent-shaped lake and publish it in a magazine.And she, having forgotten everything, was drawn to that lake all over again.The empty space in his arms shattered the dream like a mirror breaking apart.Chris opened his eyes sharply and immediately saw Winter leaning near the cabin door.Her hand was too close to it.So close that an image flashed through his mind. A year ago, she had pulled open the terrace door and tried to jump from the upper floor.His breathing tightened. He yanked her back into his arms and stared into her alcohol-flushed eyes. His voice came out hoarse and strained.“What are you trying to do?”Winter was startled by the force of his emotion, raw and uncontrolled. Then she noticed the tense, faintly trembling fingers gripping her arm, and she realized where she had been sitting.Only then did she understand.He had thought she was going to open the

    The sound of running water came from the bathroom.At the sink, blood mixed with the water and disappeared down the drain.A phone began ringing in the bedroom.The woman in the mirror moved her neck, then turned toward the sound. A few spots of blood still marked her face.The ringing continued for a long while.Then the water stopped.The room fell silent.After a moment, a wet hand picked up the phone from the floor and answered.The person on the other end said in a low voice, “I found something about the person you asked me to look into. A couple of days ago, Chris’s bodyguards escorted someone in and out of the hospital. I think that’s the person you’re looking for.”“Who is it?” Skyla asked lightly.“A stage actress.”A flash of murderous intent crossed Skyla’s eyes.A woman.After Chris had brought her back to the country, he hadn’t spoken much to her. Apart from his relatively mild tone, his attitude toward her had always been distant.But he had still agreed to
