Chapter 519
Richie only half understood. He grabbed Chris’s fingers with both hands.
His hands were so small that just two of Chris’s fingers filled his grip. He brought them toward his mouth, about to bite down, but Chris gently pulled his hand away.
When Richie couldn’t bite him, he lifted his little head and looked up at Chris with his round, pitiful eyes.
Chris wrapped his hand around Richie’s soft little fingers.
“Daddy hasn’t washed his hands. They’re dirty p>
Dominic sounded like an overbearing nanny as he pointed at Richie’s mouth.
“He tried to bite me earlier today too. I had the doctor take a look. He’s teething and trying to use your fingers as a chew toy p>
As he spoke, Dominic picked up the teether someone had bought earlier and Mr. White had already sterilized,
then stuffed it back into Richie’s hand.
“Chew on this p>
Most children started teething before their first birthday. But because of Richie’s health, his development had been slower than usual. He was already fifteen months old, and only now were his teeth beginning to come in.
Chris watched Richie gnaw happily on the teether.
Richie had grown up in isolation since he was little. He was used to seeing Chris and Winter sometimes, then not seeing them at all for a while. Because of that, he had no idea what had happened, and he wouldn’t cry and demand to find Winter.
Maybe that was for the best.
“You really sent her away?” Dominic still sounded like he couldn’t believe it. “Who went with her p>
Chris’s tone was calm.
“William p>
Dominic froze.
He had never imagined Chris would be willing to send Winter away with his own hands.
He had imagined even less that Chris would hand Winter over to William.
Other people might not see through it, but Dominic and Chris had grown up together. He wouldn’t d understood Chris better than anyone else, but he could definitely beat ninety-nine percent of the co
So Dominic recognized it immediately.
The way Chris looked at William was clearly the way a man looked at a rival.
For now, Dominic decided not to dwell on the fact that William, of all people, was actually in love with Winter.

The dignified second son of the Zeller family, one of the hottest young actors in the industry, had gone so far as to pretend he liked men just to hide the woman he truly loved.
But out of everyone they had right now, William really was the most reliable choice.
Chris must have thought it through over and over before making this decision.
Winter’s condition couldn’t be delayed any longer.
If they missed the right time for treatment, the consequences would be more than Chris could bear.
And Chris wasn’t the only one who couldn’t bear them.
William wouldn’t be able to survive losing Winter either.
At that moment, William was sitting beside Winter with his legs spread casually, his back bent, his elbows propped on his thighs, and his chin resting in his hands as he sighed again and again.
They were already on a private plane, outside the country.
They were getting farther and farther from Liono City.
Farther and farther from the place where Chris was.
But Winter still hadn’t woken up.
When they had taken the helicopter away from the island earlier, the cabin had reeked of alcohol. He could imagine how much she must have drunk. He knew exactly how poor her tolerance was.
Had Chris gotten her drunk on purpose so she would sleep the whole way?
Just as William let out his eleventh sigh, Winter finally woke up.
“You’re awake. Do you feel sick anywhere p>
William crouched beside her and helped her sit up a little.
Winter pressed one hand to her forehead and opened her sleepy eyes. As soon as her hand moved, she felt something hard in her palm.
She looked down.
Her heart tightened sharply.
After she got drunk, she had fallen asleep. In her haze, she seemed to remember Chris talking to her. She couldn’t remember many of his words clearly, but she vaguely remembered him mentioning the little fo
He had also said, “Winnie, you’re going to get better p>
William saw her eyes redden and thought she was feeling unwell. His voice turned anxious.
“What’s wrong p>
Winter tightened her grip around the little ceramic fox and shook her head silently.

Then she turned and looked at the clouds ffboating outside the window. Her voice was hoarsed from sleeping for so
