Zion regretted it as soon as he said it.Roy wasn’t the type to curse people out. Not even for Winter’s sake.But then, to Zion’s surprise, Roy’s fingers moved across the screen.“Chris Xander is a bastard.”Zion froze.So Roy did know how to curse.Winter lifted her eyes and glanced at the phone screen. The corner of her mouth tugged faintly, and she gave a weak smile.Roy suppressed a cough deep in his throat. His grip tightened around the handle of his cane as he forced himself to stay upright. Then he hooked a chair with the cane and pulled it to the bedside.He sat down and typed another line on his phone.“If you cannot make sense of something, then stop trying to force an answer. Not everything in this world comes with one. Chris may have interfered with your life, but you are still Winter Scott. No one can change that except you.“If you give up on yourself, then the Winter Scott I know will truly disappear. You are still you. No matter what Chris took from you, no on

Thinking of Winter’s condition and everything he had just heard, Chris clenched his fingers. His knuckles turned white and trembled from the force. He closed his eyes for a moment before finally forcing himself to ask.“What did the doctor say?”“Clinical depression.”The moment William said the word, Gavin frowned, and Dominic’s expression turned complicated.How could that be?William didn’t want to say that word either, but he had no choice but to face it.He didn’t notice the shock surging deep in Chris’s eyes. He only demanded, “She was already depressed five years ago, wasn’t she?”Chris didn’t answer him.Instead, he asked again, as if he needed to make sure he had heard correctly. “The doctor told you it was clinical depression?”“Yes,” William replied.Chris’s expression changed, and his breathing tightened again.Winter’s depression hadn’t started five years ago.Five years ago, she had learned that he was the one who had driven her parents to their deaths. She ha

Dawn was close. A thin crescent moon hung at the edge of the sky, but before long, dark clouds swallowed it again.After Winter woke up, William coaxed her for a long time before she finally took a sip of water. But almost as soon as she swallowed, she threw it back up.Just then, someone knocked on the door.Zion went to answer it and saw Roy standing outside in a black baseball cap and black mask. He wasn’t surprised. Roy’s injury hadn’t healed yet, so he couldn’t take on any jobs. Recently, he had been staying in Liono City. Before he left yesterday, he had said he would come again.“Ms. Scott, G is here.”Winter leaned against the headboard and looked at the man standing in the doorway with a cane. The retching had strained her throat, and there were still tears in her eyes, but the light that used to be there was gone.She said softly to William, “Aren’t you supposed to visit Grandpa at the care home today?”William answered without thinking, “I can visit him any day. I’m s

Winter’s hand fell.The black mask and fake scars dropped to the floor.She stared at the face in front of her in a daze. Then she clenched her teeth, only to let out a laugh so faint it was almost inaudible.“It was you…”So “Roy” really was someone she had known all along.He was Chris’s most trusted right-hand man. More than that, he was one of the few people who had been through life-and-death situations with him. Of course he knew the origin of her favorite motto.At first, she had thought Roy’s silhouette looked familiar. When his guard was down, she had tested him. She had called him “Gavin” right to his face.Back then, he hadn’t reacted at all.He had been so calm, as if he had never even heard the name.Now it seemed he wasn’t only good in a fight. He was also an excellent actor.Gavin silently removed his black baseball cap. His black hair was thick and slightly coarse. He looked at Winter, his gaze dark and steady.“It’s me. Codename G.”G.Gavin.Zion felt as

The hospital room door opened.Chris was sitting in bed, reading through some documents.When he heard the door, he turned and saw Gavin standing there with a baseball cap in his hand, his face no longer showing any obvious flaws.What had happened was obvious.She had gotten suspicious after all.Chris clenched his fist and coughed, coughing until his eyes turned red.“Did she say anything?”Gavin thought back to what Winter had said. Aside from the questions she had asked him, the emotion she had shown hadn’t been anger.It was something else.He answered honestly, “Mrs. Xander was hurt deeply by the friend she knew as Roy. She only told me to leave.”There was no surprise or hesitation on Chris’s silent face.He had hurt her again.But at least, in her heart, it was easier for her to accept that Gavin was Roy than to accept that Chris was Roy.Only from now on, he could no longer approach her as Roy.He no longer had an identity that allowed him to stand beside her wit
