On the other side of the phone, Josiah immediately texted Xavier after receiving his message.

Josiah: What’s going on? Louis told me you’re safe from harm now, so how is it inconvenient for you to pick up my call?

Xavier stole a glance at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms and kissed her on her forehead, not resisting his urges.

He texted again after that: You probably shouldn’t be asking because a man who is still single won’t understand.

Josiah replied: What the hell! What are you trying to tell me? You can’t possibly have found that little Dumbo of yours on that island, can you? I thought you told Louis something’s suspicious about Calvert! The news he gave you is real, after all?

Xavier: It’s complicated. I’ll talk to you about this in detail once I’m back. Also, do me a favor. Perform an investigation on that Paulina. The fake Paulina.

Josiah: But we’ve already tried to find out more about her, did we not? We couldn’t get anything because she was too mysterious. By the way, she went after you that night in the hospital because she felt something was off after you left. Did you see her? Did she come looking for you?

Xavier stole another glance at the woman sleeping beside him.

In his text to Josiah, Xavier typed and deleted his text several times before he finally texted: Yes, I did see her.

Josiah: Oh. So she’s fine?

Recalling the bruises on Winnie’s shoulder, Xavier frowned and replied: She was a little bruised, but it’s all right.

Speaking of which, he remembered being thrown into the ocean with heavy metal weights tied to him. This woman called Paulina risked her life saving him and even performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him.

Hence, he texted: She saved me.

Josiah: Not bad. You’re lucky enough because you took her things. She said that thing is her family heirloom, and she wouldn’t go all the way there to save you if it weren’t because of that.

Is that so? Xavier frowned, for he did not remember taking something that belonged to her.
