to him.”“Josiah? Are you the one beside Dumbo?” Xavier asked in surprise when he heard his good friend’s voice.However, Josiah was even more surprised than him. “You remember me again! Oh, right. You wouldn’t have gone to my office to take the keys and my phone otherwise.”“Who took your phone? I was just about to ask you why I have your phone in my pocket. Where’s my phone? Did you take the wrong one?”After a moment of speechlessness, Winnie chimed in, “Your phone’s with me. It’s broken.”“You broke it? Forget it; forget about the phone. Are you feeling unwell? Why are you in the hospital? Also, why didn’t you tell me you went to the hospital?”Winnie stammered, “I-I’m visiting someone in the hospital. I’ll come back right away. Just stay right at home and don’t go anywhere.”“What do you mean? Were you not planning to come back?” Xavier sounded displeased. “Even if you’re mentally challenged, I still like you because you’re the woman I married. Where else were you planning to stay the night other than in my arms?”Winnie’s jaw nearly dropped.In the past, she would have thought that he was good at flirting.However, now, all she could think was how ludicrous he was and the awkwardness she felt.Hence, Winnie cleared her throat and replied, “Didn’t I say not to go anywhere? I’m coming back right away.”“No!” came Xavier’s instant rejection. “I’ll pick you up! I won’t be at ease to wait for you to come back yourself.”Winnie parted her lips to object to that, but a wave of complicated feelings washed over her. Even when he had issues with his brain, he was still wracked with worry for her.Nevertheless, before she could say anything else, Josiah spoke.“Yes, come and pick her up! It’s true that Dumbo isn’t safe by herself so late in the night. You should drive my Mercedes-Benz over. I’ll get a driver to send the two of you back later.”
