the other.“Did you install a surveillance camera in my house? How did you know if I have finished eating?”“It’s okay! Just leave everything to me. You can get busy with your work.” Seeing that Winnie was talking on the phone, Jacinta stopped her from cleaning the table.Winnie nodded and ceased cleaning up. She then spoke to Josiah on the phone.“I guess you have eaten as well. Have you fixed the time and place for the meetup with Xavier?”“Yes! I’m waiting for you now.”“Where is it? Lagune Mansion or Aqua Moana?”“Aqua Moana.”“That’s great. In that case, I don’t have to rush. Just a moment. I’ll be right there in five minutes.”After saying that, Winnie hung up the phone. She then informed Jacinta about it and went upstairs.The moment she walked out of the elevator, she saw Josiah.Curious, Winnie asked, “What’re you standing at the door for? Why didn’t you get inside?”“I’ve just reached.” Josiah continued to explain with a smile, “I thought you would be here soon, so I’ve been waiting for you. We can go inside together, so Xavier won’t have to open the door one more time.”Hearing that, Winnie was left speechless. She ignored him and lifted her chin, gesturing for the man to press the doorbell.The doorbell rang a few times before Xavier came over to open the door.When the door opened, Xavier scooted aside and allowed Josiah to get inside first.After that, he narrowed his eyes at Winnie. “What a coincidence! We meet again,” he exclaimed.“Yeah.” Winnie took a glance at him and replied, “Fate has brought us together, hasn’t it?” Xavier grunted in response. He let Winne walk through the door. Staring at her back, he asked, “How’s your husband? Has he recovered from his illness yet?”Josiah, who had just entered the unit, almost tripped and fell when he heard that.Winnie, on the other hand, turned around and scrutinized Xavier.With a faint smile, she replied, “Well, there’s been no sign of improvement.”Josiah frowned. “What’s with this? Are you two putting up an act?”He then asked Xavier in disbelief, “Do you know who her husband is?“No.” Xavier glanced at Winnie and raised his eyebrows. “Why? Do I need to know it?”Josiah was speechless.“Well, here’s what happened…” Seeing that Josiah was befuddled, Winnie took the initiative to enlighten him. “He has forgotten who I am again. Earlier, when I returned to the residential area, we bumped into each other and had an idle chat. I told him that my husband is sick.”Josiah was stunned for a moment. “He forgot again? This is really driving me crazy. Why does it feel like we’re filming a movie?”As he grumbled, a meow suddenly sounded in the house. Following that, a white cat walked out gracefully from behind the couch.Josiah wasn’t surprised by that. “Xavier, is this your cat?”“Yes. Its name is Little Winnie. Dumbo likes cats.”Winnie was confused as she had never mentioned that she liked cats. Did Rachel tell him that? Also, why is it called Little Winnie? Why didn’t he name it Little Xavier?All of a sudden, she felt irritated. “I don’t like cats. Hurry up and cut to the chase.”“Yeah, we should cut to the chase.” Josiah added, “Let’s put the trivial matters aside first.”Josiah told Xavier that they had found hypnotic incense in the calming incense.Following that, he asked, “So, we suspect that it’s Yolanda who might have hypnotized you. Did she come to you when you were treated with acupuncture? Do you have any recollection?”“Let me think about it,” Xavier responded casually.His eyes were fixed on the calming incense that Josiah had brought along.Josiah sensed his gaze and couldn’t help frowning.“What’s the problem? Is something wrong with this thing?”Xavier had a frown on his face as he replied, “That Yolanda is really stupid. Why didn’t she dispose of her things after committing the deed? Where did you guys get this from?”“Dr. Garland found it in the trash.” Taking a glance at Winnie, Josiah turned to Xavier and said, “She has rummaged through a row of trash cans to find it. Dr. Garland has gone all out to help you. You can’t forget her again!”Trash can?” Xavier’s frown grew deeper. When he thought of the filthy and unhygienic scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed Winnie’s hand before he knew it.Winnie was startled, but she didn’t retract her hand as she had long accustomed to holding his hand.That said, she furrowed her brows. “What’re you doing?”Xavier acted as if nothing had happened and let go
