As Winnie suddenly fell silent, Xavier stopped scanning his fingerprint and inched nearer to her.

“What’s wrong?” He noticed that Winnie was zooming into the photo sent by Nate and asked, “Isn’t this Uncle Stuart’s back? What is wrong with him?”

“There’s nothing wrong with your Uncle Stuart’s back. I’m not looking at him,” Winnie explained. She showed the zoomed-in part of the photo to Xavier. “Take a look at this person. Isn’t she Granny?”

Xavier zoomed out a little bit before answering, “Her physique does resemble your granny. However, she’s too far away. Even if we zoomed in, we can’t be sure it’s her.”

“Yes.” Winnie’s brows scrunched up. “But this person resembles her a lot. Let me call her. If this is her, then why was she at the airport?”

Winnie exited the chat and clicked into her contacts.

Before she could scroll down, Xavier handed the phone he was holding to her.

“You got the wrong phone. This is yours. I don’t think Granny’s phone number is saved in my phone,” Xavier reminded her.

“Oh, I forgot we took each other’s phones by mistake. It’s fine, though. I have memorized Granny’s phone number.”

Winnie couldn’t be bothered to get her phone back and immediately dialed Jacinta’s number.

The call got through in just a few rings.

Jacinta seemed to be in a quiet place. She sounded delighted to receive Winnie’s call.

“Hello, Winnie. Why are you calling me at this hour? It should be nighttime where you are. Why are you not in bed yet?”

As there wasn’t any noise on the other end of the line, Winnie knew that the person Nate caught on camera wasn’t Jacinta.
