Winnie overslept because she had a difficult time falling asleep in the first half of the night and was only able to sleep soundly in the second half of the night.

If Josiah had not knocked on the door, she could have slept until two o’clock in the afternoon.

Without even bothering to wash up, she hurriedly opened the door for Josiah.

“What’s the matter? Has Xavier’s condition improved? Does he remember who I am now?”

“No. He has left.”

“Where did he go?”

“I have no idea. He left as soon as I was about to call you, so I didn’t have time to ask. He probably went to the company.”

“I don’t think so. It’s Sunday today. Nobody goes to work on a day off.”

“Where would he go then? I just called him, and no one answered the phone. He probably didn’t answer because he was driving.”

Hearing that, Winnie felt her head throb. “Where else do you think he could go?”

“Could it be that he went to your house to look for Rachel?” Josiah made a guess.

“I think it’s quite possible.”

“However, even if he goes to your house, it’s pointless. Rachel has been taken away by her father. She isn’t staying with your grandmother anymore.”

“Who knows what’s going through his mind?” Instantaneously, Winnie took out her phone and called Jacinta.

“Hello, Granny. Did Rach go back with her father last night? Oh, I’m fine. Nothing happened last night. Yes, but I have to tell you something. I’m worried that Xavier will go looking for Rach soon. Try to stop him from leaving if he’s there. Okay, I know. I’ll be there soon.”

“What did she say?” Seeing Winnie hanging up, Josiah immediately asked, “Rachel isn’t with your grandmother, right?”

“She’s not there. That’s a good thing since Xavier won’t be able to find her. I’m hoping he’ll give up on his own.”

Josiah knitted his brows and commented, “To be honest, I think you seem to underestimate how persistent he is with you. Even if he can’t find Rachel this time, he most likely won’t give up.”
