Winston’s eyes softened just slightly.
He looked at the housekeeper and, in a quiet voice, said, “I want to see him.”

The woman blinked and gently ryed the message into the phone. “Sir, Mr. Dalton’s friend would like to visit-”
She didn’t even finish before the voice on the other end cut her off. Her words stopped mid–sentence<b>, </b>and her expression subtly darkened.
After a pause, she looked up and shook her head at Winston.
It was clear the request had been rejected.
Winston’s expression didn’t change. As always, he remained calm andposed. But then, without a word, he stepped forward and held out his hand.
He was asking for the phone.
The sudden movement startled the housekeeper. Her eyes widened, and she instinctively tightened her grip on the device.
But Winston didn’t back down. His hand remained outstretched, his gaze steady and firm.
After a moment’s hesitation, moved by his persistence, the woman gave in.
She brought the phone back to her ear and said quietly, “Sir, Mr. Dalton’s friend… he’d like to say a few words. Could you give him a moment?”
She then handed the phone to Winston.
He took it immediately and spoke into the receiver, his voice even andposed.
“Hello. I’m a friend of Dalton’s.”
“I understand if he’s not able to see me right now. But if his condition improves, I hope he’ll consider reaching out. My name is Winston–he knows who I am. If he’s willing to talk, he can call this number. I’ll be waiting.”
He returned the phone to the housekeeper and lowered his gaze, unreadable emotions flickering across his face.
The woman took the phone back without another word and wrapped up the call.
“Are you going to wait here?” she asked, recalling Winston’s request for Dalton to call her phone–w would mean he’d have to stay close by.
Winston shook his head. “Of course not.”
He paused, then added, “So I’ll need your help. If he calls, please let me know right away. I’ll <b>give </b>you my
number.”
He didn’t know whether Dalton would ever reach out.

<b>Even </b><b>if </b><b>he </b>did, who knew when it would happen?
Dalton might be stable now, but that didn’t mean he was doing well. He might still <b>be </b><b>in </b><b>pain</b><b>, </b><b>or </b><b>too </b>weak to even pick up the phone.
So no–Winston wasn’t about to wait around here for something that might not happen.
And he didn’t want to give his own number directly either. He worried that if Dalton saw it, he <b>might </b>instinctively avoid calling.
That’s why Winston chose this indirect approach.
Of course, if Dalton contacted Jean instead, things would be simpler. They already had each other’s <b>contact </b>info.
Either way, Winston was determined to get in touch.
And if Dalton didn’t <i>call</i><i>? </i>
A shadow flickered in Winston’s eyes–dark, unwavering.
If Dalton wouldn’t reach out, then Winston would find him himself.
Because there were some things…
He needed to ask in person.
