“I bet it looks great,” she said with a smile.
“It does.” Xavier lowered his head and put the watch on her wrist. “No one can find another watch as beautiful as this one in the whole world. Because of that, only this one fits you. All right, give it a try.”
“Mm.”
As she tried touching it, he guided her hand and explained, “Press here, and the dial will pop up.”
Nodding, she brushed her finger on the dial. “Eight o’clock is here, right?”
“Yep. You’re smart.”
Winnie raised her eyebrow. “This isn’t entirely made out of diamonds, is it?”
“It is because it looks better. If you’re too lazy to touch it, it’s fine too. I can be your watch, although I think you’ll prefer the watch more.”
“That’s right. You know me so well. Using you as a clock would be a waste, after all.” At the thought of something, she asked, “Did you plant a tracking device on me?”
Xavier scrunched up his brows slightly. “You don’t like it? Things are different right now. I think it’s better if I plant one on you.”
Winnie nodded to express her understanding. “It’s not that I dislike it, considering my current circumstances. I would’ve asked you to plant one if you didn’t.”
Feeling awful, Xavier hugged her and said, “The watch will also vibrate when the minute hand makes a half and full rotation. It’s very gentle, so you can only feel it when wearing it.”
Lying her head in his embrace, Winnie nodded. “I can feel you’re feeling down again. Come on, let’s leave the room. If you want a change in mood, I’ll meet Wilhelm myself later while you take care of your business in the company. Just leave me be.”
“How can I leave you be?” This shouldn’t be happening to someone as independent as Winnie. I feel so terrible when she proactively asked me to plant a tracking device on her. “I’m sorry that I let my bad mood affect you. I’ll recollect myself as fast as I can. Now, let’s go get you cleaned up.”
Winnie allowed him to carry her to the bathroom.
They were done at around the same time as Wilhelm did.
After meeting with Winnie, Wilhelm went straight to the point, telling her he planned to take her back to Yartran that day.
Winnie agreed because she didn’t want to stay blind any longer.
As long as there was a chance to restore her sight, she would seize it no matter how slim the possibility of success was.
After a brief discussion, they decided to head to Yartran by plane at night.
However, as Xavier needed to visit his company first, Winnie asked Wilhelm to accompany her to visit Jacinta at the psychiatric hospital.
Jacinta’s situation hadn’t gotten any better. Worried that Winnie’s mood would turn bad if she stayed there too long, Wilhelm brought her to a nearby garden for a stroll.
The environment of the garden was very nice. Winnie felt serene as she listened to the chirping of the birds and bugs as well as the sound of running water.
