“Get lost!” Zyon waved his arm in an attempt to stop Winnie from approaching him.

Josiah reacted quickly. He glanced at both sides and pretended not to see Winnie.

“Who are you talking to, Mr. Fairchild?” he asked Zyon in surprise. “Why are you seated on the ground all of a sudden? You have not fully recovered, so you can’t just sit on the ground as you please.”

Josiah deliberately glanced behind him. “Who are you talking about? I can’t see a thing. Do you see anyone, Mr. Tanser?”

“Er…” Louis gave a dry cough. Though he felt uncomfortable telling a bald-faced lie, he was very accommodating. “No, I don’t see anyone at all.”
