“Yes. It’s very urgent. I’ll send you the number now,” Winnie continued talking to Christopher on the phone while making her way out of the ward.

Before stepping out into the corridor, she heard Yulissa feigning innocence, saying, “Josiah, what was that woman talking about just now? Why was she asking me to hand over Xavier? Is he in trouble? Josiah, tell me! This is so frustrating! Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier? Why did you hide it from me, Josiah?”

Hearing Yulissa repeating Josiah’s name disgusted Winnie. Hence, she slammed the door shut, preferring not to hear the former’s voice at all.

Winnie shut the door rather hard, and Yulissa put on a shocked expression as if startled by the sound. The latter asked, “Josiah, who’s that woman?”

Josiah adjusted his glasses, answering, “That’s what I want to know, too. Get some rest, and don’t worry about Xavier’s matter.”

With that, he hurried after Winnie.

Arriving at the elevator, he called out to Winnie, “Stop right there.”

Since the door had not opened, Winnie decided to turn around for the sake of being polite. “What’s the matter, Dr. Houghton?”

Josiah frowned. “Why are you so sure Xavier’s in trouble? He’s been looking for her for quite some time. Isn’t it normal for him to leave the hospital after getting a lead on her?”

“Are you going to believe what I tell you? If I told you that Yulissa wants to harm Xavier, and the lead Xavier received was just a trap, will you believe me?” Winnie responded with questions.

Josiah refuted instinctively, “Can you be more reasonable? Why would Yulissa want to harm Xavier? It doesn’t make sense.”

“What if I say Yulissa’s working with Zyon?”

“How’s that possible? Both of them barely contact each other. Besides, anyone would prefer to be in touch with Xavier instead of Zyon. There’s no need for Yulissa to contact Zyon, anyway.”
