Chapter 395

Lucas' shouts finally snapped Winnie back to reality.

She glanced in the direction of his voice and asked. "Where's the fish? Did you get it?”

“I did. It's still flopping on the deck. What's up with you. by the way? Is something off with your hearing? Can't you hear the noise?”

She rolled her eyes at liis string of questions and retorted. "How can I hold this conversation with you if I can't hear anything? Maybe you should check your brain instead. Why did you come here anyway? How many fish did you get?”

"Zero.” Lucas chucked the fish she caught into a tank before sitting beside her. He continued. "I heard you talking, so I thought your husband was here. That's why I came over. I didn't think you were daydreaming alone. Your husband's nowhere to be seen. So what were you doing? Who did you call? What did you talk about?”

Winnie replied drily. "Are you interrogating a suspect? While you're at it. why don't you record every word I say and type up a transcript?”

Her sarcasm ticked him off. and Lucas grumbled, "Come on! You just seemed to be in a funk, so I thought I'd come over to console you. Some friend you are. Hmph!”

Winnie could not be bothered to explain her personal affairs to Lucas in detail, so she said curtly. "My family called me to discuss my medical condition. There. You can start consoling me now.”

"Nah. When did you need my consolation on that matter? Anyway. I think I'll stick around and fish here. There's more fish here.”

Winnie mumbled an acknowledgment before asking. "How long has Xavier been gone? Why hasn't he come up?”

Lucas replied. "He has been gone for almost half an hour. I reckon he should be back soon. Why don't you cast your rod? Your next catch might be your husband. You could tell people you fished a mermaid; he's pretty enough for that.”
