Chapter <b>1248 </b>The Truth About Dalton


    Dalton wasn’t aware that Wynter had looked into him. Upon hearing herment, he turned to her and asked, “Did you want my picture?”


    Before Wynter could reply, Dalton added, “Was this about our engagement? Were you trying to see if I was your type?”


    Wynter attempted to exin, but Dalton cut her off again. “You don’t have to. Your taste in men is a bit off, anyway.”


    Left speechless, Wynter couldn’t help wondering who had upset Dalton. The truth was, no one had. Dalton simply recalled some bad memories.


    The incident with Sky had been infuriating, and the discovery of the remnant underground only added to Dalton’s irritation.


    It seemed that whoever was borrowing his power had burdened him with personal grudges. Thinking of that, Dalton closed his eyes and attempted to soothe the hostile aura


    within.


    Wynter wasn’t the senseless type who would direct her anger at her ufortable boyfriend.


    As a doctor, she could easily discern a person’s condition through their breathing pattern, especially someone with a high body temperature like Dalton.


    Wynter immediately ced a hand on Dalton’s forehead while her other hand checked his pulse. She found that it was unusually erratic–that never happened when they were in Kingbourne.


    “What’s wrong with you?” Wynter asked with a frown.


    Dalton hadn’t expected her to notice his difort, despite his discreet efforts to hide it. He rolled down his sleeve and looked at Wynter with a shadowed gaze. “I’m fine. Just a little tired,” he replied.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Wynter didn’t buy Dalton’s words. He had been much more robust and lively during their time settling cases in Kingbourne. Wynter couldn’t help but notice the purple aura around him had intensified.

    Wolf shook his head, recalling only that he had been instructed to runps. Wynter turned to Dalton, who merely shed her a faint smile. She reached out and forced a stern expression onto his face.


    “Listen here, pretty boy. Wolf and I have been scouring the mountains for herbs specifically for you–some of them are rare and highly valuable. So, you’d better take good care of your body.


    “I’ve put in a lot of effort to get you into top shape, and I don’t want to see you fall back into a weakened state. So, tell me, did something in the nightclub cause this?” Wynter inquired


    with a serious tone.


    She had smartly pieced together what happened and went straight to the point, highlighting her prowess as the Special Unit’s leader.


    Her sharp intuition and logical thinking made her hard to fool, which deemed her the natural choice for handling abnormal cases.


    “Something appeared, but it got away,” Dalton swiftly admitted.


    “You should’ve called Wolf,” Wynter chided. At the mention of his name, Wolf raised his head and nodded in agreement. He would’ve entertained himself by roasting whatever it


    was.


    Dalton assented and nced at Wynter’s posture. It was only then that Wynter realized she had overstepped his boundaries and quickly retracted her hand.

    The assumption left Benjamin puzzled. He wondered if Dalton tended to live off women.


    On the other hand, Wynter paid no mind to his spections about her rtionship with Dalton.


    Opening her bag, she took out a pill and popped it into Dalton’s mouth. “You’re going back to the hotel. I’ll head to the Whitman residence on my own.‘
