Chapter 379

When Lyra ended the call, another phone rang.

"Alex," an elderly man's voice came through, warm but formal.

"You promised you'd come check on our health. When will I have that honor?"

Alex leaned back. "Well, I can come right now-if you know where to find me and send someone to pick me up."

"Of course! How could I not know where the God's Hand doctor is? We've been waiting patiently for our turn to be honored by your visit."

"I'll send my people for you immediately. Will that be acceptable?"

Alex glanced at Josephine, a sly smile forming. "Fine-but I'll be bringing a young woman with me. Is that alright?"

"Certainly, certainly. Bring anyone you like. We will treat them with the same highest hospitality we give you.”

"No need for special treatment. Just treat her like usual," Alex chuckled, then hung up.

He turned to Josephine. "Pack your clothes. We're going to Vinland."

Josephine's eyes widened.

"Vinland State? That's the most beautiful place in the country! Lakes, forests, everything untouched. It's been my dream to see it!"

"Yeah, but this isn't a vacation. We're going to check on an elderly couple." "Something serious?"

"No. Just a regular check-up."

A few minutes later, a long, black limousine rolled up to the curb.

Josephine froze, eyes wide. "I've never even touched a car like this, let alone ridden in one. You think I'm not gonna mess it up just by sitting in it?"

Alex smirked. "Relax. They've already paid for it just enjoy the ride. You could probably scratch the seats and they wouldn't even blink."

Inside, Josephine couldn't stop herself from touching everything.

Her fingers traced the polished wood, the soft leather. Her eyes darted from detail
