then?”“That’s impossible!” Winnie furrowed her brows. “Xavier and Josiah rang the doorbell immediately after we heard the sound. If Rachel had opened the door herself and ran out at that time, they couldn’t have missed her.”“Then let’s look elsewhere in this house,” Sebastian said. “Maybe she opened the door and went to another room. Let’s look everywhere.”“Okay. I’ll have a look upstairs,” Winnie volunteered.Yolanda did not remain idle either. “Sit and rest for a while, Grandpa. I’ll search this floor.”Winnie looked around upstairs, but naturally, she did not see a single person.Just as she was about to go downstairs, Yolanda suddenly shouted, “I’ve found Rachel!”Winnie immediately went downstairs, and Sebastian also walked toward Yolanda.“She’s asleep behind the couch in the office. She probably fell asleep there before Xavier went in, so we didn’t notice her. Since she’s sleeping soundly on the floor right now, should I wake her up?”Sebastian replied, “Wake her up then. How can she sleep on the floor like that?” Winnie walked over and heaved a sigh of relief upon confirming that Rachel was indeed behind the couch in the office.She then glanced at her watch. Realizing that it was almost time for Xavier’s acupuncture session, she casually reminded Sebastian about it.“All right. You shall try it this time. A small matter like removing the needles shouldn’t be difficult for you.”Winnie nodded. After washing her hands, she was ready to come over to remove the needles from Xavier’s body.At that moment, Rachel also woke up.

Why didn’t it work today? Could there be a problem with the incense?”“There shouldn’t be.” Sebastian frowned. “This
