“Xavier, let go of me now!”
He has gone berserk with only one injection. Now that the b*tch has poked almost twenty needles onto
his back at the same time, how can he take it? My goodness! He might even explode!
Winnie wanted to break free from Xavier’s embrace to stop Yulissa but to no avail.
While enduring the pain for her, he kept reassuring her authoritatively, “Don’t be afraid. As long as
you’re under my protection, nobody can inflict any harm on you. Regardless of anything, I won’t let
anyone lay a finger on you!”
“Xavier, please move and let go of me! Chase her away now! Yulissa White, you must have gone
insane! Stop right now!” Winnie yelled at the top of her lungs as she mustered up her strength to push
Xavier’s chest away.
God! If he still refuses to loosen his grip, I might be crushed in his arms when the drug takes effect
later! Stun gun! Yeah! I can use the stun gun!
Something popped into Winnie’s mind in an instant. She planned to incapacitate Xavier with the stun
gun and request Josiah to bring him away. Nonetheless, it was only her wishful thinking as she was
trapped in his arms!
Meanwhile, Xavier seemed to be on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Tightening his arms around
her uncontrollably with deep sorrow on his face, he pleaded with her, “Quick! Leave now! Please… I
beg you to leave now… Leave me… Quick!”
Winnie felt as if her sternum would be crushed at any moment in his arms. As he pled with her to leave
piteously, nobody had ever embraced her as tightly as him.
What kind of struggles is he having in his mind now for him to fend off the effect of the drug? I bet he
must be enduring unbearable pain now!
Winnie steeled herself to give Xavier a hug before biting hard on his neck. He eventually loosened his
arms slightly when blood started oozing out from the wound.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was then she grabbed the opportunity to free herself from his embrace. Next, she had to rush into the
room to search for the stun gun.
Yet, she had barely taken two steps before Xavier lost control. She heard Yulissa screaming and
caught a glimpse of the shadow on the ground.
The tall, dark figure carried another figure up effortlessly and threw it heavily to the ground.
Winnie was fully aware that it was Xavier throwing Yulissa to the ground. Regardless, she did not turn
around to stop him. Yulissa White only has herself to blame for that!
Without hesitation, Winnie darted into the room and found the stun gun Yulissa had dropped on the
floor. I must have Xavier under control before the security guard becomes the next victim!
Buzz! Seconds later, Xavier’s well-built figure collapsed on the ground as the sound of the electric
spark rang out.
When Winnie squatted to stop the bleeding from the wound on his neck, only then did she realize that
there were tears all over her face.
She had never shed her tears except when she played dumb previously. Her tears had flowed down
her cheeks moments ago, unknowingly.
After ensuring that Xavier was still alive, she moved toward the old lady with the stun gun.
Initially, the latter thought of running for her life, but she had sprained her ankle. Not to mention, after
going through the petrifying moments a while ago, she could scarcely lift a finger.
The moment she saw Winnie approaching her with the stun gun, however, the only thing in her mind
was to flee at once. Since she could not run, she crawled on the floor instead.
Staring at the old lady as though she were a clown, Winnie headed toward her gradually and squatted
next to her. “Do you think you’re still able to escape?”
Needless to say, she did not forget the person who had incapacitated her earlier with the stun gun. The
next second, she pressed it on the old lady’s body and activated a button to let the latter have a taste of
her own medicine.
On the heels of that, she called Josiah immediately and briefed him about the current circumstance.
After that, she called the ambulance and lodged a police report.
With that, she could finally check on the security guard. “Are you all right? The ambulance will be
reaching soon. Please hang on.”
He could still answer, “I think two of my ribs are broken. Other than that, I’m fine.”
Seeing that he was still conscious and had no problems moving his limbs, Winnie heaved a sigh of
relief before checking on Yulissa.
Earlier on, the back of the latter’s head hit a rock after Xavier threw her to the ground. Subsequently,
her wound had been bleeding profusely. Even if Winnie intended to save her, it was obviously too late.
“Argh…” Yulissa could only open her mouth to make meaningless sounds. She seemed to have lost
the ability to speak.
Winnie’s frown deepened into a scowl as she stared at the heinous woman, devoid of expression. “You
should pay the price of your heinousness! If Xavier can’t be cured, I won’t let you rest in peace even
after your body has rotted in the grave!”
Ten minutes later, Josiah’s car was the first to reach the scene, followed by the ambulance and a police
car.
Before getting into Josiah’s car, Winnie checked on Yulissa intentionally and discovered that she
seemed to have stopped breathing.
As Winnie was worried stiff with Xavier’s condition in the hospital, she assigned Nathaniel to be in
charge of the post-event cleanup for the anniversary celebration.
All the doctors attending Xavier in the consultation room specialized in neurology. Therefore, Josiah
found that he could not be of much help and accompanied Winnie outside the room instead. At the
same time, he took the chance to get a grasp of the situation from her.
Shortly after, Winnie turned out to be the one asking him questions instead.
“When did he start displaying the symptoms? I overheard Yulissa saying that she had given him the
first injection when she pretended to be abducted on the wreckage previously,” she asked
apprehensively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter much contemplation, Josiah elucidated, “We didn’t have any sample to identify the venom at that
time and could only assume he was injected with an ordinary drug. If you didn’t bring the venom back
today, we might still be unable to detect anything. After all, there’s no such thing on the market. I bet
you were roughly aware of the first injection too. Can you recall he once hit the captain of the Narcotics
Enforcement Department outside your condominium unit in Aqua Moana? He told me everything about
that. I heard you tried to talk things out with him later at his condominium unit. After that, you quarreled
with him and requested to break up. In actuality, he had started to sense that he had lost control of his
emotion at that very moment. That was why he asked you to leave and stop appearing in front of him
again. I bet you must have misunderstood him at that moment, assuming he agreed to break up with
you.”
After a pause, Josiah added, “That was not the case, of course. He was actually fearful of hurting you if
he were to lose control. After knowing that you headed to another mansion owned by the Garland
family to meet your stepmother, he even requested me to follow closely behind you in my car. Besides
that, I received Yulissa’s phone call the day itself. She requested my help to inject a sedative into her
body to suppress her drug addiction by reassuring me that she would not take drugs again. I chose to
believe her, only to find out that she was making an excuse to approach Xavier. At that time, she was
waiting for Xavier outside his condominium unit. Thus, I sent Xavier back so they could have a chat.
Halfway through, Yulissa infuriated Xavier, and he seemed to have started losing control of his emotion.
Yulissa even went berserk and bit Xavier. Come to think of it, she could have given Xavier an injection
at that moment and bit him deliberately to cover up the needle mark with her bite mark. What a cunning
woman! Well, I can only blame myself for my negligence. How could I have overlooked the needle hole
when I attended to his wound? Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have dragged on for so long. After the
second injection, his frequency of displaying the symptoms increased. There were even times when he
had short-term memory loss. However, I couldn’t detect any problems even after I had conducted blood
tests for him numerous times.”
“I see… So that’s what happened.” Winnie knitted her brows. She used to think Xavier’s jealousy and
impulsive violence were due to his pride and sheer possessiveness. It only struck her that he was
already intoxicated by the venom injected by Yulissa before that.
