When he was overtaking the car in front of him, Winnie had already crawled into the back seat to check on Rachel. The moment she heard a car approaching, she turned around subconsciously.

Coincidentally, she met Xavier’s eyes.

God knows what they have done to her?”

“Okay. Calm down. Let me have a look,” said Josiah as he took out a medical flashlight from his pocket.
