The next day, Winnie was woken up by Jacinta and Rachel’s conversation.

Both of them slept early last night. Hence, they woke up early in the morning.

Winnie’s drowsiness disappeared after she was woken by them. Thus, she decided to get out of bed and have breakfast with them.

When Winnie was having her oatmeal, she realized that Jacinta’s countenance seemed pale.

“Granny, did you not sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes,” she asked in concern.

“Really?”

As soon as Jacinta spoke, Rachel chimed in and cut her off, “I know. Hehe, Granny sleepwalked last night, so she didn’t sleep well.”

Winnie subconsciously glanced at Jacinta and asked, “Sleepwalk? I didn’t know you sleepwalked last night, Granny. I was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t realize anything.”

“Don’t listen to Rach’s nonsense. I don’t have the habit of sleepwalking,” Jacinta flatly denied it.

She then looked at Rachel and asked, “Why would you say that? A good girl should never lie.”

“I’m not lying!” Rachel frowned and continued, “I woke up in the middle of the night last night to pee and walked to the balcony by mistake.”

Jacinta widened her eyes in shock. “What? Did you pee on the balcony?” she asked.

Rachel chuckled and said, “Hehe, just a little. I couldn’t hold it in anymore.”

“Oh my, why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m going to check on it!”

“You should finish your breakfast first, Granny. It was already there the whole night anyway,” Winnie advised when she saw Jacinta standing up from her seat.

Jacinta thought Winnie was right. Hence, she sat back down.

Rachel was frightened when she saw Jacinta stand up.

She knew she had done something wrong and that it was not right to pee anywhere she wanted.

Thus, Rachel lowered her head and apologized softly, “Granny, Winnie, I’m sorry. I will never do it again.”

“It’s good that you know your mistake. You shouldn’t do it again, got it? I shouldn’t let you drink milk tonight before you sleep. It must be the milk.”

“Yes, it was because of the milk!” Rachel nodded, blaming the milk.

Winnie looked at Rachel and found her behavior amusing. However, at the same time, she felt sorry for the latter.

They quickly moved on from what Rachel did. However, Winnie remembered what Rachel said about Jacinta sleepwalking.

If what Rachel said was true, she would need to take Jacinta to the hospital.

Winnie smiled and looked at Rachel, asking “Rach, what were you saying just now? You said you went to the balcony to pee, and what did you see? Did you see Granny sleepwalking?”

“Yes!” Rachel nodded without hesitation. “I saw Granny, and she was on her phone on the balcony,” she added.

Jacinta’s expression changed immediately when she heard what Rachel said.

“Rach, were you dreaming? I went to bed early last night. Why would I be on my phone on the balcony?”

“No, I saw it. Granny was on her phone.”

Jacinta shook her head and denied it. “That’s impossible! It must be your imagination. Who could I have called in the middle of the night?”

Subsequently, she turned to Winnie, “If you don’t believe me, you can check my call history. I’m sure I didn’t call anyone last night.”
